Elizabeth Taylor, 1948

The late iconic beauty is the picture of mid-century glam as she skewers a hot dog in her prim cardigan and mussed-up curls.

Angela Bassett, 2002

Bassett's natural beauty shines through as she opts for a make-free face and short, curly strands while playing with a friend's daughter at a family fair in LA.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 2008

While attending the opening of a BBQ joint in Puerto Rico, the laid-back beauty uses dark brown eyeliner (black would have been too strong) to dress-up her otherwise product-free look.

Nicole Richie, 2008

Richie attains frizz-proof hair with this messy-yet-intricate low bun while attending a carnival in LA. We love how the double wrapped braids merge into one, big tangled knot.

Lauren Conrad, 2009

Grown-out roots, soft waves, and a simple side braid are Conrad's staple styles for pulling off warm weather hair.

Princess Diana, 1983

At a smoky BBQ in Canada, the late princess stood out on account of her coiffed mane, rosy skin, and traditional Klondike outfit (think Gold Rush era).

Annalynne McCord, 2009

McCord probably used a salt spray to achieve these beachy, texturized waves. Her dazzling smile (she was hosting a sandy fete at a Malibu beach house) also reminds us to schedule a mid-summer tooth whitening.

Salma Hayek, 2008

Showing that stars DON'T always BBQ like the rest of us, Hayek flaunts a subtle glow while getting a dual mani/pedi at a backyard party in LA.

Selita Ebanks, 2010

The new Carol's Daughter spokesperson struck a pose with NYC club owner, Mark Birnbaum, while attending a Hamptons lawn party. We think that her manicured brows are the perfect accent to her oversized aviators.

Chloe Sevigny, 2005

Sevigny shows her indie roots (and her brunette ones, too) as she attends a Virgin Mobile-sponsored BBQ sans bronzer or lipstick. We just hope this fair beauty remembered to slather on some SPF.

Kristin Cavallari, 2010

Before engaging in backyard games, Cavallari must have greased up her gams with body oil to get a flattering (and extreme) sheen.

Eva Mendes, 2005

Whether or not it was her intention to get extra sun protection with her cap, Mendes earns extra points for protecting her scalp from the sun's rays. We also like her outfit-matching soft pink blush.
