Denise Richards' Style Evolution (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

Actress and model Denise Richards has always had a casual, yet glamorous style. The Illinois native can rock everything from beaded minidresses to metallic gowns to bohemian maxi skirts. While the star has also flaunted her abs and growing belly (on separate occasions, obviously) in cropped tops, she’s traded those styles in for knits and denim to keep up with her daughters, Sam and Lola Rose.

See more of Richards’ toned down looks in the gallery below as she celebrates her 41st birthday this Friday, and vote for your favorite look.

And have a look through our many other Style Evolutions here.

I like her best in her California casual looks (sesp the striped red slacks adn burgundy top). But she has a nice CA gal look. I don;t ike the gold minis with spangles. She looks great in the last shot--black dramatic number. Pretty gal.

Sounds like either one of us could be writing those stupid little ditties that they used to have on that Jack Handy Saturday Night Live skit. Stupid little meaningless ditties.

How old is Denise? Dayum her face looks aged. I swear it's over for white women at 30 cause they look horrible after that.

are you ignorant for a living or is it just social?

I'm what you call educated. It's basic science. Didn't you learn about pigmentation and the aging process in 5th grade? Or don't they teach that in public schools?

Well Denise has shown everything else....her breasts, her vagina (when she was a porn star) why not her mid-drift. I certainly would not consider her a fashion icon..... at least when not when she is dressed.
