Beauty icon - Kate Bosworth

By Shruti Thacker


From her fresh faced role in The Horse Whisperer to a hot surfer in Blue Crush and more recently Superman\'s girlfriend, it\'s clear this leading lady is not just a pretty face. Classifying herself as a simple, down to earth girl this sexy star thinks that being a top Hollywood actress is simply a day job. Whether working the red carpet or walking her two favourite dogs, she always looks flawless and radiant, and that\'s one of the many reasons why we heart her fab style.


Charmer

Kate was an only child and spent much of her youth moving house all over America\'s East Coast. Modesty and perseverance were important in the Bosworth household, which the stunning star still stands by today. She often jokes, "If I ever started drifting up, my father would pull me down so fast." It\'s unlikely this star will be allowed to throw a diva tantrum.

 

Her acting call came early in the life when she attended a casting call for Robert Redford\'s The Horse Whisperer. With only the experience of working in a community theatre production of Annie and her picture from a Christmas family portrait, young Miss Bosworth charmed her way to become the female lead\'s best friend in the film. If only we looked so good in our family portraits that it won us leading acting roles.


America\'s new sweetheart

With great reviews for her acting skills, Kate became a well known face on the Hollywood circuit and soon wasn\'t short of film offers. But with a firm head on her shoulders Kate decided to turn her back on Tinseltown and concentrate on high school.

 

Her girl next door look, high cheek bones, flawless skin all mixed with an easy going attitude allowed her a strong comeback to Hollywood in 2000 in The Newcomers and Remember the Titans. Kate was fast becoming America\'s new sweetheart.


Surf\'s up

Kate looks stunning and fresh. Whether she keeps her beach-blonde tousled hair loose or in a fabulous updo, she always manages to dazzle on the red carpet.  Not a natural blonde, Kate became the poster girl for the "new wave" of girl power with her 2002 film Blue Crush. Surfer chick has never looked so cool and, boy, did she do it well. Meanwhile, she started dating, heartthrob Orlando Bloom and the good looking couple were picture perfect.


Superman\'s girl

With films such as Beyond The Sea and Win A Date With Tad Hamilton under her belt, Bosworth landed the role of her life as Lois Lane in Superman Returns in 2006. Here she looks stunning with barely-there make-up and fuss-free hair for a photo shoot, showing us how just that au-naturel look is done with perfection!


Mesmerizing eyes

Kate\'s eyes are definitely one of her striking points. She was born with the condition sectoral heterochromia, which means her eyes are two different colours, brown and blue. In 2008, she appeared on Victoria\'s Secret 2008 What Is Sexy? list and was chosen to have the "sexiest eyes."

 

In 2008 she became the face of Calvin Klein Jeans and left audiences begging for more in the film 21. But for our bare-faced beauty it\'s all taken in her stride. She simply says, "You promote your films; it\'s part of your job. You do the magazine covers and stuff, and then I try to live a really normal life. I definitely don\'t try to make it into any more craziness than it is." Atta girl, Kate! Such a breath of fresh air, it\'s not very often you get a beautiful, intelligent and talented actress being so modest. We like!


British connection?

Recently the lovely and newly single Miss Bosworth caught the eye of talented British musician, James Rousseau. She had once said of her attachment to British guys (think ex Orlando Bloom!) "I get along with a British guy... it\'s my very dry sense of humour."

 

Ah, is that what it is Kate, not the fact you are stunningly gorgeous, a Hollywood starlet, have flawless skin, get invited to very hip party out there and look every inch the star whether on the beach or walking the dog? We thought not, but we look forward to seeing more from this stunning and very modest celebrity soon...
