It's expensive to be famous. Primping for the public eye prompts some stars to spend on their looks what the average American makes in a year. Here's a list of the biggest spenders.

After being lambasted by the press for her wan look and too-skinny figure, Katie Holmes traveled to Japan in March 2009 for the Japanese premiere of Valkyrie - and a $42,400 makeover! The star reportedly spent $28,000 on veneers, $10,000 on spa treatments, $2,900 for hair extensions and $1,500 for makeup, all to return herself to her long haired, healthy-looking Joey Potter glory.

At 40, Jennifer Aniston has pulled off the incredible feat of looking better than the average 25 year old. How does she do it? Money, honey. Aniston insisted that her hairstylist (and good friend) Chris McMillan accompany her on her week-long trip to Europe to promote her movie, Marley & Me. McMillan traveled to and from London first class, stayed in top hotels, and billed over $2000 per day for his hair styling services - putting his total cost around $50,000. At left, is a picture of Aniston at the London premiere of Marley & Me. At right, is Aniston with everyday hair. Worth the $50k? We're not so sure...

Demi Moore stayed out of the spotlight for nearly a decade while she raised her family. And she returned for 2003's Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle looking, well, exactly like she did when we last saw her. The GI Jane star reportedly spent close to $500,000 on a head to toe surgical makeover, which she debuted to the world in a bathing suit scene, holding her own against the much younger figures of Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in the movie.

Behold, Madonna in 2009 at 50, versus Madonna in 1987 at 29. Not much of a difference, is there? Sure, she's traded a little baby fat for a chiseled jaw, and plucked her Brooke Shields brows, but Madge has clearly spent a pretty penny keeping her up her looks. We'd expect nothing less from the original Material Girl.

It is hard to believe that it's been more than a decade since everyone was lining up at salons to get "The Rachel." It's even harder to believe that the woman who made it famous is now 40. That's right, the lovely Jennifer Aniston hits the big 4-0 today. But if Aniston's recent red carpets (and magazine covers!) are to be believed, 40 is certainly not what is used to be. To celebrate Jen's big day, StyleList took a look back at the Style Evolution of everyone's favorite Friend.

Friends premiered on September 22, 1994 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. By the time Aniston wore this hideous ensemble to the Second Annual VH1 Honors in June of 1995, her "Rachel" haircut was being worn by women all over America. Luckily her fashion sense wasn't as widely copied.

Jen got it right at the 53rd Annual Golden Globe Awards in 1996 in this timeless and classic nude dress. Unfortunately for her Friends Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, their choices haven't stood the test of time.

Aniston wore this floral frock, and a longer version of her famous "Rachel" 'do, to the 1997 New York premiere of Picture Perfect.

For the 1998 premiere of her romantic comedy The Object of My Affection Aniston wore this very 1990s red dress with matchy-matchy red shoes.

No you didn't blink and miss Jen's dreadlocks phase, those are just product-laden tight curls that Aniston paired with her monochromatic ensemble for the VH1 Divas Live concert in 1998.

For the 51st Annual Emmy Awards in 1999 Jen picked this Randolph Duke mermaid gown and again went for a faux-dreadlock hairstyle.

Newly in love with her future husband Brad Pitt, Aniston bared her belly at the premiere for her man's film Fight Club in 1999.

After marrying on July 29, 2000 the newlyweds walked the red carpet together at the 52nd Annual Emmy Awards (Prada for her, Hedi Slimane for him).

As Brad and Jen settled into their marriage the duo got increasingly casual about their premiere style. Apparently Aniston didn't even feel the need to wear a bra for the 2001 release of her flick Rock Star.

From a bisexual, knife carrying wild child to a humanitarian activist and mother of six, Angelina Jolie's life has change tremendously in the decade since her unsettling portrayal of Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted catapulted her to superstardom. Not surprisingly, as her personal life transformed so did her wardrobe. With her 34th major film, The Changeling, hitting theaters this week Stylelist took a look back at the female half of Brangelina's style.

In 1986 legendary actor Jon Voight walked the red carpet at the 58th Annual Academy Awards with his unknown 10-year-old daughter Angelia Jolie Voight. If Jolie had realized all that white lace would haunt her forever she may have picked a more subtle dress!

Still a Daddy's girl, Jolie attended the 25th anniversary celebration of Midnight Cowboy (her father's most famous film) in 1994 wearing leather instead of lace.

With two major films under her belt, Hackers (where she met her first husband Jonny Lee Miller) and Foxfire, 22-year-old Jolie boldly rocked a shaved head and a little black dress at the premiere performance of Fedora in 1997.

Still a wild child, Jolie stuck to black while promoting her critically acclaimed HBO film Gia in 1998.

A nominee for the second year in a row (in 1997 for George Wallace and 1998 for Gia), Jolie lightened up her color palette for the 50th Annual Emmy Awards in 1998.

For the 56th Annual Golden Globe Awards in 1999 Jolie went for an uncharacteristically girly champagne sequin gown.

For the 5th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in 1999 Jolie lightened her hair color and walked the red carpet looking very reminiscent of Marylin Monroe.

A practitioner of method acting, Jolie was back in a dark place for her breakout role in 1999's Girl Interrupted. The disturbing intensity she brought to the part carried on to the red carpet for the film's L.A. premiere.

At 24-years-old Jolie had two Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes and in 2000 she added an Oscar to her trophy list. Unfortunately her Elvira-like outfit and a proclamation of love for her brother garnered even more attention than her achievement.

At 39-years-old, America's favorite romantically-challenged TV icon has still got it. Jennifer Aniston appears on the cover of this month's GQ in barely more than her birthday suit -- but, while she obviously looks gorgeous, we have to wonder: Does this seem a little desperate to anyone else?

Because if you'll remember, Jen's been "revealing" that she's still a little bitter about her Brangelina-induced break-up -- particularly the part where Angie and Brad fell for one another while he and Jen were still married.

Not like that it wasn't totally obvious to the rest of us, but when your ex-husband's new super-hot girlfriend publicly proclaims that he wasn't faithful to you, that's gotta sting.

Of course it wasn't always this way. In the 90's Jennifer Aniston was the center of the universe -- with every man in Hollywood (and beyond) dying for a date with the adorable girl next door.

So when she hooked up with Brad Pitt -- arguably the most desirable man on the planet -- it was a romance that we'd once thought was only possible in fairy tales and impossible romantic comedies.

But by January 2005, that fairy tale crumbled to pieces. Brad and Jen had been sordidly usurped by Brad and Angie, who'd met on the set of their sexy thriller, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. By November of that year Jen was on the comeback trail, showing the world she was over the break-up by showing some skin as GQ's first "Woman of the Year."

And for a moment, things looked good. Maybe Vince Vaughn wasn't just a rebound guy after all. Sure they seemed totally wrong for one another, but if they were getting married then clearly it'd all worked out for the best. Hooray! The dumped girl has been cured!

Oh wait. Maybe not. It seems Jen wasn't ready to accept that she'd fallen from "World's Most Desirable Heartthrob" to "That Chubby Guy You Met in Line for Pretzels at the Knicks Game." And of course rumors start to circulate that she's romantically illiterate and will never find love.

And just for fun, in December 2006, almost two years after Brad and Jen had bombed, our heroine, unlucky in love, gets to relive her failed marriage while suffering through a failed engagement. Awesome!

And that led to a few pretty lonely months. Jen dated some random guy no one had ever heard of -- and it still didn't work out -- but by that point the world had grown weary of the eminent disaster that was every Jennifer Aniston relationship.

OK, time to triumph over tragedy! In November 2007 we met the new Jennifer Aniston -- ready to break free from botched marriages, engagements, friendships, and whatever -- set to devour life as a confident, secure, totally not needy (so there's no reason to be scared of marrying me!) woman in the prime of her life.

Kate Hudson recently revealed that she loves posing for provocative photo shoots -- but the sultry starlet certainly isn't the only celeb who's willing to bare all a magazine cover.

Jennifer Aniston for GQ
Was her ultra-revealing cover stunning or sad? Find out!

Eva Mendes for Jane
The actress isn't bashful about showing a little skin (just look at these steamy Calvin Klein ads!).

Britney Spears for Bazaar
Showing off her hot pregnant bod, back when we thought there might be hope for her and K-Fed.

Britney Spears for Rolling Stone
But of course, Brit was happy to bare all before she was ready to bare children.

Christina Aguilera
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Demi Moore for Vanity Fair
And before Britney and Christina were competing with pregnant poses in their birthday suits, Demi Moore graced the cover of Vanity Fair in nothing but her wedding ring (and some nice earrings!).

Lindsay Lohan for Entertainment magazine
Back when it was plausible that she might turn out sane.

Mariah Carey for Interview
Still looking great at 38!

Rose McGowan and Marley Shelton for Rolling Stone
This certainly added to the hype surrounding the actresses' blockbuster movie, "Grindhouse."
