Looking after young children can be stressful work at times, but celebrity mums Julianne Moore and Helena Christensen were both keeping their cool when they were spotted out and about in New York this week.
The two A-listers were wearing floaty white summer clothes as they enjoyed the warm temperatures currently enveloping Manhattan. Julianne, walking hand-in-hand with her eight-year-old son Cal, was also accompanied by husband Bart Freundlich and their little girl Liz when she was snapped strolling through the streets near their Greenwich Village home.
While the actress is well-known for her commitment to her own children, she also does all she can to help youngsters who may have fallen into dangerous situations. Just last week she travelled across the country to Los Angeles to help a new initiative aimed at tracking down missing kids.
And ironically enough, the performer has also just finished work on a new sci-fi thriller about a futuristic world where men are no longer able to procreate. Children Of Men, which is due to hit cinema screens later this year, sees her teaming up with British stars Clive Owen and Sir Michael Caine.
Helena, meanwhile, has been enjoying some quality time with her little boy Mingus. The handsome six-year-old, who seems to have inherited his actor father Norman Reedus' blonde locks, was sporting a bright yellow T-shirt with cartoon dinosaurs emblazoned across the front as he soaked up the sights and sounds of the Big Apple.
