Beautiful Faces In Beautiful Spaces: The Million-Dollar Homes Of Our Favorite Hollywood Ladies
We take a peek inside the homes of Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevingne, Mila Kunis, Naomi Campbell, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Gigi Hadid
Hollywood celebrities may not have much to say about their personal style and outfits, since most of the time these are delegated to stylists and what the affair or event calls for. But you can truly discern a star’s sense of style and personal taste if you take a look at their homes.
As they say, one’s home is a true representation of a person. Is a home designed or was it built and collected over the years? Is it made to be like paradise, an escape from the chaos and humdrum of everyday work? Is it classic or bursting in colors and textures?
In the gallery below, we look at some of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood—Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevingne, Mila Kunis, Naomi Campbell, Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Gigi Hadid—and try to get know them better through the beautiful and personal spaces they call their home.

Cara Delevingne
Cara Delevingne’s home is an eclectic explosion of colors and themes, and this is what she has to say about her design choice: “My work requires me to put on many different hats and costumes. I love slipping into these various characters, so I wanted my home to reflect lots of different themes and moods.”

The receiving area highlights a majestic chandelier that’s been altered to contain a disco ball inside. The mirrors are painted over, making for charming wall décor; the walls are wrapped in a Gucci wallpaper of oversized herons.

The poker room comes straight from a crime heist film, with vintage games table and a real wheel of fortune from the Santa Monica pier.

Architect Nicolò Bini of Line Architecture (who also did the homes of Robert Downey, Jr. and Daniel Haas) is Cara’s accomplice in her extravagant home. They worked with Anton Prack for the landscape design for the pool area.

The bar area is definitely made for entertaining as Cara shares she loves to have friends over. The vibrant colors, the neon lights, and the golden finishes make this area a snapshot straight out of a hip club.

And before we forget, yes, there is a swing. Apart from the tented poker room, Cara also has a ball pit, a costume room for dress-up parties, and two trampolines near the pool for when her friends come over. Cara says: “The deeper in you go, the more treasures you discover.”

Naomi Campbell
Supermodel Naomi Campbell sure knows how to rest in style. And her choice is a breathtaking villa in the tranquil seaside town of Malindi, Kenya.

The calming white canvass is grounded by the wooden furniture and antiques, creating a modern African sanctuary.

The open-air living room is a sight to behold. Naomi says she first visited Malindi in the mid-1990s and then returned a few years later with the owner of this Kenyan luxury resort, where her private getaway is now housed.

Across the living room is this gorgeous saltwater pool, perfect for a quick morning dip. Also in view are two voile-curtained pergolas, perfect for entertaining.

As you make your way to the terrace, you’ll be greeted by these wooden doors handcarved by Armando Tanzini, an award-winning Italian artist who lives and works in Malindi. His works are influenced by tribal art from East African cultures and Etruscan art.

Native materials and textures are used generously throughout the home, and most of the wood furniture are made locally in Malindi to promote the local trade and economy.

Angelina Jolie
In 2017, after Angelina Jolie separated from Brad Pitt, she brought this beautiful 6-bedroom, 10-bathroom property in Los Feliz that’s 5 minutes away from Brad’s home so that the kids can easily move between the two homes.

The 7,500-foot main house sits in a sprawling 2.1-acre property with a separate tea house, studio, and pool house. There is a lot of gardens and greens to appreciate, with jacaranda trees and rose bushes scattered across the property leading to the pool area.

The property has an equally robust storied past, as it was first owned by Hollywood legends, Cecil B DeMille and Charlie Chaplin. Angelina tells Vogue: “I felt a little pressure moving in. Like I had snuck into where DeMille and Chaplin would hang out.”

It took Angelina 6 years to renovate the home, while preserving the original style details to keep the home’s authentic Old Hollywood charm. The delicate molding, the arched French doors, and the intricate carpet work has transformed the place into a modern vintage home.

Inside, there’s a library, which looks straight out of Beauty and the Beast. Tucked in the basement is a wine cellar—which was necessary given Angelina and Brad’s vineyards in Provençal.

Angelina says the house is very quiet and classic, and came perfectly for her pandemic quarantining: “I love most that there is no entertainment room, but lots of pathways and places to walk and think. I feel very fortunate we have that at this time.”

Gigi Hadid
In July last year, Gigi debuted her home on Instagram, saying, “Spent all of last year designing and curating my passion project and dream spot…I’m excited for the time I’ll get to spend enjoying all the special corners that were made with a lil help from some of my favorite creatives who embraced my ideas and didn’t call me crazy.”

While many people did not appreciate Gigi’s style and approach, calling the home “ugly” and “tacky,” the home reveal actually taught us something very important: that beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. As Metro Home host Anton Barretto said, “If it doesn’t suit your taste, it’s not for you. Work with what you like and what you have; after all your home is a reflection of you.”

Indeed, Gigi’s home was a safe place for her own personal style and choice. Bright colors and quirky elements come together to represent her personality—which makes it so much more personal and beautiful than a designer-built home.

In the kitchen, you’ll find these interesting elements like dyed pasta preserved behind glass.

In the bathroom, frontpages of New Yorker are plastered into the wall to give the bathroom color and personality.

Once you get past the bits and pieces of campy aesthetics, you’ll actually find that each room was made for comfortable living—just like this bathroom made of glass and marble.

Kendall Jenner
When Kendall Jenner approached Kathleen and Tommy Clements to design her home, they thought Kendall would go more extravagant—which was expected, since she was the highest-paid model in the world. But they were surprised that her aesthetics were actually more down-to-earth, understated, and bohemian.

Kendall shares that she loved the pan-Mediterranean architecture that proliferates in Los Angeles: “I like a house that has character. When I walked into this place, I was immediately drawn to the peaceful Spanish-y, farmhouse-y vibe.

You step inside the home and you are instantly transported to Kendall’s homey and cozy abode. It feels like a vacation home in the middle of a deserted place in Scandinavia, with lots of light pouring in and lots of comfortable places to sit on.

According to Kendall, her home is her safe space: “My life involves a lot of chaos and travel and high energy, so I wanted a home that feels serene, a place where I can simply zone out and relax.”

Modern elements and colors are made more muted in the kitchen, thanks to the sturdy bar and the rustic bar stools. There’s contrast, but it’s not too jarring in the eyes. There’s luxury in the elements like marbles and metals, but the space still feels very welcoming and familiar.

Kendall has spoken publicly about battling with anxiety and panic attacks, so it only makes sense that she has an arts-and-crafts room where she can spend time to take refuge from the crazy storm of her professional life.

Kim Kardashian
Just like Kendall, Kim Kardashian’s home is surprisingly very muted and minimalist as opposed to the extravagance of their life and career. But Kim takes her quest for serenity a notch further, going all neutral and ultra-minimalist with her designer, Axel Vervoordt.

“Everything in the outside world is so chaotic. I like to come into a place and immediately feel the calmness,” says Kim about her home. And her vision was executed to perfection by Axel, the Belgian designer and tastemaker known worldwide for his well-rounded expertise in art dealership, art collecting, and interior design.

According to Kim and Kanye, the proportions of the home are the decoration. In their minimalist home, Alex’s subtle designs reign in each space, with a little bit of Jean Royère and Pierre Jeanneret in between.

The couple purposely wanted a lot of open spaces in the home so that their kids have more space to move around. Kim says, “The kids ride their scooters down the hallways and jump around on top of the low Axel tables, which they use as a kind of stage.”

Famous artists and neutral colors are the highlight of each room. But make no mistake because everything is family-friendly. As the couple explains: “Everything we do is an art installation and a playroom.”

The neutral palette of the inside is contrasted outside with this gorgeous pool and lush greenery. Again, it’s all about creating a space of serenity and relaxation for the family.

Mila Kunis
Since Mila Kunis doesn’t have an Instagram account, it’s rare to see her personal moments captured on cam. This is why it was such a surprise when Mila and her husband Ashton Kutcher came out on Architectural Digest to share their majestic home in Los Angeles.

Perched on top of a hill in a storied Los Angeles enclave, the home that Mila shares with her husband and kids is a glorious modern farmhouse that’s made generously with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, wood, and handsome tailored furniture.

According to Mila and Ashton, they wanted the house to look like an old barn that has been in the area for decades, and then was converted into a more modern and relevant home. And although they did build it from the ground up, their vision was perfectly pulled off.

It was all thanks to Howard Backen of the AD100 firm, Backen & Gillam Architect. Howard made sure he interpreted Mila and Ashton’s ideas to the T, smartly putting together reclaimed wood, board-form concrete, and glass to create a modern but rustic home.

Mila says they wanted the home to be a sustainable, nurturing home for themselves and their two young children, Wyatt and Dimitri. This is why the entire house is powered by photovoltaics, which produces enough solar power to keep the whole house running.

The main house sits on a huge 6-acre property with a connected guesthouse/entertainment barn, a swimming pool, and a freestanding barbecue pavilion.
