Dec. 11, 2012— -- intro: In a world where celebrities try to hold back time with Botox and more, Hollywood stars who choose to age gracefully make headlines.

The latest is Kim Basinger, who turned 59 on Dec. 8 and, according to her 17-year-old daughter Ireland Baldwin, is choosing a more natural approach to aging.

"You are the most naturally beautiful woman there ever was and will be. Your skin care, workouts and advice on eating healthy inspire me to do the same," Baldwin, whose father is Alec Baldwin, tweeted on her mother's birthday. "Ladies, if you want to avoid Botox and any other skin treatments, listen to my mom! She hasn't had one treatment done because she's stay completely out of the sun all these years!"

Photographed in Hawaii on Basinger's birthday, walking side-by-side in matching white T-shirts, mother and daughter looked more like a sisters -- something Baldwin acknowledged in her tweet.

'Mom, you still look like your 17 and it's kind of embarrassing standing next to you. Hopefully someday I will adopt your cheekbones and and overall beauty.... Inside and out."

Fortunately for Basinger and her daughter, a growing number of Hollywood stars feel the way they do. Click through to see other celebrities speaking out against plastic surgery.

quicklist: 1title: Kate Beckinsaletext: British actress Kate Beckinsale has said she's put off by all the surgically enhanced women around her in Hollywood and would prefer to age the way of her mother, Judy Loe, 65.

"I much prefer how my mother looks to the people I see here [in Los Angeles] with wind-tunnel face," Beckinsale, who turned 39 in July, told the UK edition of Glamour magazine.

"I feel like beauty is a gift that you have for a while, and you enjoy the hell out of it while you have it," she told the August 2012 issue. "And if you're lucky enough to have a daughter and you give it to her, you enjoy the fact she has it. My mother was always very, very beautiful -- she still is, in her sixties."

Beckinsale also lashed out against the pressure put on new celebrity moms to bounce back after their pregnancies.

"There's an obsessional hatred of normal human processes. Pregnancy changes a woman's body and should. It isn't normal to not look like you've had a baby immediately after you've had a baby."media: 16717489

quicklist: 2title: Kate Winslettext: In an interview with the U.K. media last year, Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet took a stance against getting a nip/tuck, saying that cosmetic surgery "goes against [her] morals. I will never give in," said Winslet, 37.

Winslet, famous for her curvy, womanly physique, argued that she was raised to appreciate "natural beauty" and doesn't want, as an actress, to have cosmetic surgery or botox "freeze the expression" of her face. media: 15779520

quicklist: 3title: Julia Robertstext: Like other actresses in their 40s, Julia Roberts is reinventing what it means to be in the fourth decade of life. Not being afraid of growing older is part of it. In 2010, Roberts drew headlines for her comments nixing Botox. "I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy and when I'm confounded," the 45-year-old actress told Elle. "Your face tells a story and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office." media: 15931609

quicklist: 4title: Teri Hatchertext: Roberts' comments garnered cheers, especially from "Desperate Housewives" star Teri Hatcher, who posted on her Facebook page photographs of herself fresh out of the shower to show off her wrinkles and reveal that, while she once used Botox, she doesn't anymore. "Love it or hate it, my face that is, no surgery, no implants, no matter what 'they" say," Hatcher, 48, wrote in August 2010. "Yes I am alone in my bathroom naked in a towel on behalf of women everywhere trying to make a point. Women YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL." media: 16717415

quicklist: 5Title: Lisa RinnaText: Actress Lisa Rinna got burned by cosmetic surgery at a young age. At 24, Rinna had silicone injected into her lips. Her pronounced pucker quickly became her signature feature, but she developed scar tissue around her mouth and ultimately regretted going big. In 2010, she chose to reverse the procedure. While she's also had facial fillers, earlier this year, the 49-year-old actress told Yahoo! she's done with doctoring her appearance. "I don't regret anything," Rinna said. "I think we all try everything, everyone's tried it. If it works for you, great. If not, you move on. I mean, every actress has done it, pretty much." Media: 16125972

quicklist: 6title: Dana Delanytext: Like Rinna, "Body of Proof" star Dana Delany disavowed plastic surgery after a botched procedure. "Seven years ago, I had never even heard about Botox," the actress told Prevention magazine in 2010. "My dermatologist was saying, 'You should try it.' He injected my forehead, hit a nerve, and created a huge hematoma. The nerve has been dead ever since." Delany, who says her face was symmetrical before, told the magazine that her right eye has started to droop, though she admits she notices it "more than anybody else."media: 16717513

quicklist: 7Title: Rachel WeiszText: Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz feels so strongly about plastic surgery's ill effects, in 2011, she joined forces with fellow famous Brits Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson to form the so-called British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League. "People who look too perfect don't look sexy or particularly beautiful," Weisz, 42, told the Telegraph in August 2011. Media: 16717429

quicklist: 8Title: Emma ThompsonText: Along with Rachel Weisz and Kate Winslet, Thompson has voiced her bafflement at Hollywood's desire to look perfect at every age. "I'm not fiddling about with myself," Thompson, 53, said in the same Telegraph interview. "We're in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60."

She's also fought against the pressure to be thin. When she was filming 2008's "Brideshead Revisited," Thompson said the producers asked then 25-year-old actress Hayley Atwell, who was playing Julia Flyte, to lose weight. "I went absolutely ballistic," Thompson told More magazine in February 2009. "She didn't need to lose weight, and it upset her deeply. It was an evil thing to do." Thompson threatened to quit and the producers backed down. Media: 15782194
