Winona Ryder

Jess says: 'Somehow she's managed to freeze those elfin features in time and we're guessing it's from some hefty UV protection. Her pale skin looks plumped and super healthy.'

Kylie Minogue

Jess says: 'All that spinning around has kept Kylie's petite frame in top condition and we're confident she can still fit into those hot pants.'

Michelle Pfeiffer

Jess says: 'Michelle knows to make the best of those baby blues and a twinkling gold shadow offsets them perfectly; you can always rely on a touch of stardust.'
