Denise Richards stepped onto the scene in the 1990's, and made her mark with the films "Starship Troopers" in 1997 and "Wild Things" in 1998. She turns 42 on February 17th, and in honor of her birthday, we took a look at her style transformation.
A few things have stayed the same: the girl loves her sequins, and her hair is always fabulous! Check out how she manages to work a bit sparkle in to majority of her outfits, and how whether her hair is beachy, pin straight or bouncing with curls, it's impeccable.
