Margot Robbie

Long before Margot and husband Tom Ackerley, both 34, welcomed their first child, the self-described insomniac’s “priority” was “to get as much sleep as possible,” she told ELLE. “I’ve got eye masks and sleep music and melatonin and lots of soothing scents.” She’s also devoted to keeping her body strong, though prefers doing things that “[don’t] feel like exercise,” such as taking dance classes, “or just playing sports with friends,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

(Like her character in Barbie, the actress also loves Rollerblading!) But real wellness, as Margot sees it, is about enjoying life. She unapologetically indulges in burgers, fries, bacon and wine with her pals. “We love drinking,” she told Vogue of her girl group in 2023. “And we’re really good at it.

While many women fear turning 50, Eva was “excited” about marking the milestone birthday in March. Not only is she “wiser” now, she told Marie Claire last fall, but “I’m better.” The Desperate Housewives star isn’t “scared of aging,” she explained. “I just want to age well.” She loves trying “bio hacks” — like cold plunges and red light therapy — to help achieve that goal.

For her body, the mother of one strength trains with “very heavy weights” on top of trampoline, yoga and kettlebell flow exercise classes. For her mental health, the director-producer meditates for five to 20 minutes a day and journals. But her wellness regimen hardly ends there. “I wake up with the sun; I’m doing the grounding; I have an Oura ring to track deep sleep; I’m taking magnesium and other supplements,” added Eva, who also makes most of her food — including mayo and butter — at home. “I’m doing everything!”

Jennifer is a creature of habit. Every day, she does a 5:30 a.m. workout over Zoom — a mixture of dance cardio, plyometrics (including 36-inch box jumps!) and strength training — with The Limit founder Beth Nicely. “It’s not about how you look,” the Deadpool & Wolverine actress told Women’s Health in 2024. “It is about your own strength and about pushing yourself farther than you think you can go.”

On birthdays — she turned 53 in April 2025 — Jen challenges herself even more: “The tradition is that whatever age you’re turning, we do that number of reps in an exercise,” trainer Beth told Shape. To Jen, “movement is medicine,” she explained on a 2024 episode of the Lipstick on the Rim podcast, noting it’s great for her mental health.
“I’m happier when I push the blood through my veins.”

Zendaya

Instead of coffee, soda and energy drinks, Zendaya, 28, prefers to drink matcha, she once told Harper’s Bazaar. But the antioxidant-rich superfood that delivers a calmer, more sustainable energy than other caffeine sources isn’t necessarily the motivator she needs to feel her best.

“When I’m not working, I tend to isolate myself. My therapist, family and friends will tell me, ‘You need to get up and get out,’ and I never want to — but when I make myself do it, I realize it’s actually kind of nice. I’m less anxious,” the actress, who’s engaged to Spider-Man franchise star Tom Holland, also 28, told Vogue in 2024. Long walks with her dog, Noon, can help, but Zendaya admits she still needs to work on her mental health. “Sometimes it’s just getting out of bed, telling myself, ‘We’re facing the day: We’re taking a shower, we’re putting on real clothes,’” she explained to Vogue. “I try to set little challenges for myself.”
