  1. She's moved (way, way) beyond the Princess Diaries.

  • She held her own opposite Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada."

  • Her Katie Holmes impression.

  • Her Claire Danes impression.

  • She basically hosted the Oscars on her own (with very little help from co-host James Franco).

  • The rehearsal dinner speech in "Rachel Getting Married."

  • She prioritized her education and studied at both Vassar and NYU.

  • She silenced the doubters and made an amazing Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises."

  • She can rock both a leather catsuit and a pixie cut.

  • She rebounded from a really, really bad relationship.

  • She sold her wedding photos and gave the money to Freedom to Marry, a pro-gay-marriage organization.

  • She speaks openly about her adolescent battle with depression and anxiety.

  • She wrote (and performed!) a Lil' Wayne inspired rap criticizing the paparazzi.

  • She said this: "Looking back, if I could give myself some advice, I would tell myself not to take it all so seriously."
