Is there anything more beautiful than a devoted mom with her kids?

Probably not, but a glammed-up movie star would definitely be a contender.

Movie-star mom Naomi Watts, amazingly, takes on both of these roles in a single day. Check out the actress as she balances taking her two boys to school in the morning...

...and then glams it up in the afternoon for a visit to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon with her man Liev Schrieber.

Stunning either way, right? We'd say so.

Whether she's rocking a stocking cap and shades for the early morning push to get the kids into class before the bell (trust us, that ain't easy) or swanning by in a stunning dress for some late night fun, the actress masters an amazing feat of quick-change artistry.

Our only question?

What mom can truly handle anything called "late night" when she knows she's got to get up in the a.m. and do it all again?

At least Fallon tapes early. Good thinking there, Watts.

What do you think of her two looks—love them or not? Either way, sound off in the comments and then go call your own favorite mom and tell her you think she's lovely, too. Why wait for Mother's Day, right?
