50 Coolest Celebrity Moms
The stars we most want in our playgroup.

40. Kate Moss
Because even though she sometimes seems to make questionable life choices, she's still Kate Moss.
Also, is there any other mom on the entire planet who can pull off skinny jeans like she does? Not that she's wearing skinny jeans anymore. Those are so six months ago.
39. Tilda Swinton
Because even though she dissed the Harry Potter books for glorifying boarding school (which was just weird, because, you know — there are far, far worse things than can be glorified for kids than school) and sometimes wears dresses that are missing a sleeve, she still possesses an almost otherworldly cool.
That, and she lives with her kids, her partner, and a lover. How do I get a deal like that?
38. Kate Hudson
Because she so obviously loves her son, and because she seems to be barring no holds in letting him express his individuality.
And, too, because she’s always, always smiling. How often can you say that about a mom, single or otherwise?
37. Halle Berry
Because she just seems so sweet, you know? Like someone you could spend hours sipping tea with while the kids rolled around on the grass, dishing gossip and sharing cinnamon roll recipes — you just know that she eats those — while painstakingly avoiding the topic of the suspiciously extreme metrosexuality of her boyfriend.
36. Amy Poehler
Because she’s redefined the term "baby mama" for everybody, forever, in the best possible way. And because if there’s a genetic code for FUNNY than can be passed down to offspring, she and Will Arnett will make that pass.
35. Monica Belluci
Because she’s hot, and Italian, and I have a girl-crush on her that has nothing to do with how good a mom she is.
You got a problem with that?
34. Cindy Crawford
Because didn’t we all want to be her in the late '80s/early '90s? And now that she’s a full-on mom with gorgeous kids and a gorgeous husband and gorgeous everything, don’t we just all want to be her even more? Just for a day, maybe?
33. Amanda Peet
Because when she did those Gap ads, with her baby, this past Christmas?
It made me both want to buy an entire wardrobe of Gap sweaters and have another baby, all at once.
32. Kate Beckinsale
Because whenever I see pictures of her with her daughter in public, I get the impression that her daughter is just constantly rolling her eyes at her, which, you know, makes me feel just a gazillion times better about the inevitable eye-rolling that I’ll face from my own daughter. If Kate Beckinsale gets the pre-adolescent eye-roll? Then we can all feel just a little bit better about it ourselves.
31. Jennie Garth
Because she’s not Tori Spelling, not by a long shot. Which is to say — after 90210 she had her kids and did some projects and stayed happy with herself while managing to never get a boob job or put her kids on reality TV. And because we get watch her as Kelly Taylor again on the new 90210, which, ohmygod, so cool.
