Her streaked hair brushed back in a sexy librarian bun. A black leather rope belt tied in a loose school-girl bow accentuates her Scarlett O'Hara waist.But it's her flawless face (sans signature mole, which she had removed a few years ago) and perfect white peppermint gum teeth that really pop.

It's all relative, of course. Photos of Parker in Vogue wearing smart fashions while playing with her children do not exactly remind most moms -- who are more likely to be wearing jeans and a tank top than a Chanel tweed jacket.
