Denise Richards' Style Evolution (PHOTOS) | HuffPost Life

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, shes 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.
