Looking like this in a bikini would put a smile on any woman's face. So no wonder Julia Roberts, 42, seemed so happy as she frolicked on a Hawaiian beach.

The actress showed off a stunning figure virtually unchanged from 20 years ago when she made her name starring alongside Richard Gere in Pretty Woman.

20 years ago: In Pretty Woman

Now a married mother of three, she has spoken out against the fashion for cosmetic surgery and insisted on growing older naturally.

'The secret ingredient of beauty is being happy. And maybe a little eye cream,' she has said.

It also helps if you don't mind setting a few trends of your own. Miss Roberts, it seems, still prefers unshaved underarms, a look she first showed off at the Notting Hill premiere in London in 1999.

Her husband Danny Moder, 41, and their children, five-year-old twins Hazel and Finn, and son Henry, three, joined her in Hawaii as she took a break after promoting her latest movie Eat, Pray, Love.

Miss Roberts plays a forty-something woman who travels to Italy, India and Bali searching for a new way of life after going through a painful divorce.
