Beautiful Women

[jenipho]

Marilyn Monroe will always be the most perfect woman, ever. But I agree with a lot of people and i think Natalia Vodianova is seriously beautiful.

 

[TommyAlbania]

Well for me Hilary Rhoda was perfect in her early career. Now she has a sharp face and I prefer softer faces. Anyway for me perfect faces are:
Snejana Onopka
Monica Belucci
Doutzen Kroes
Cheryl Cole
and my Mom

Damn I swear my mom was so damn beautiful when she was young (she is still beautiful but you know what i mean)

 

[Vangie]

For me, the most beautiful faces are:

Emily Didonato
Charlotte Casiraghi
Grace Kelly
Gene Tierney

My mum used to be very beautiful too, i can swear it too! I'm in the same situation TommyAlbania. I would like to show a pic but it's my mum, it's like..i don't know

hmm.....i dont think anyone in the world has a "perfect face". Models and non-models are beautiful but everybodys taste varies.

totally agree.

Aesthetic perfection is contestable; each person assesses it using different yardsticks. I find Angelina Jolie very interesting to look at. She isn't 'perfectly' beautiful, but her face has an overwhelming mystique and raw, almost macsuline femininity, which I find very uncommon and very arresting. She represents the subjective variety of beauty which hinges on each person's personal definition and taste. Though whether she is truly 'beautiful' ( I personally think she is, in an unconventional, elusive, defiant and contradictory way) or not is debatable, that she is overwhelmingly arresting is not. But by the same token, I don't find Megan Fox to be beautiful.

On the other end of the spectrum, there's the brand of beauty which doesn't have to be 'judged', but is something factual and announces itself thus at first glance. A face so truly, classically and timelessly beautiful face that it doesn't need to be studied or analysed or got familiarised with to be deemed beautiful. Natalia Vodianova instantly comes to mind. But some find this brand of 'obvious' beauty to be boring, and I can see where they're coming from. There's absolutely nothing left to interpretation. Some people like to make their own choices and come to their own decision, rather than be told something is true. Nevertheless, I do think Natalia is indeed one of the most beautiful models of all time. We have to see how she ages.

Gemma Ward, is and will always be an extremely pretty girl. However, I don't think she'd ever be an extremely beautiful woman. There's a certain immutable fragility and 'child-like' quality about her face, her features are impeccable and lovely to look at, but when juxtaposed together I think she lacks that singularity which typifies beautiful women. She, however, did parlay her alien looks into editorials and campaigns galore. There are models and actresses whom I find very pretty but not essentially beautiful - Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams, Vlada, Barbara Palvin, Toni Garrn, Lily Donaldson, Lisa Cant, Heather Marks et al.

And then there are women whom I don't find even pretty, let alone beautiful or perfect. Cheryl Cole, Blake Lively, Megan Fox, the Twilight cast and basically a lot of young actors whom magazines and those horrific 'Most Beautiful People Alive' lists ram down my throat as beautiful.

I like your description of the "perfect beauty", but I'd put Natalia Vodianova towards the bottom of my list when it comes to "perfect beauty". I feel like her looks are very polarizing. People either think she looks like a Russian fairytale spirit, or she looks like an alien. It took me a while to figure out whey she's considered to special.

I'd put Natalia V. in the same category as Angelina Jolie. Subjectively beautiful, objectively arresting.

 

[pavonine]

I wouldn't exactly say that Natalia's looks elicits polarising opinions, especially when compared to the way people perceive Jolie. There are people who seem to think Angelina is 'manly and weird' looking and even ugly, whilst some others believe she's the most beautiful woman in the world. People aren't that divided when it comes to Natalia (probably because she isn't as famous and, I daresay, overrated as Angelina). Whilst there are many that do believe she's truly beautiful, even those that don't subscribe to this view aren't as divided in their opinion as fans and detractors of Angelina appear to be.

Part of Natalia's appeal and success can be ascribed to the fact that she takes hauntingly beautiful photographs. She's ridiculously photogenic, which has been her passport to print and editorial work. That notwithstanding, I do believe that there's a certain gestalt to her face. Obviously, her features are all conventionally pretty - or at least they aren't unorthodox like Jolie's - but when these facial lineaments come together, the render her face more than just plain pretty. There's nothing fierce or statuesque about her. Her beauty (in some photographs) is something which is accessible yet imbued with an enigmatic subliminal element of pathos. There really needs to be that diacritical something in a person to catapult them to the pantheon of the truly beautiful from the ranks of the pretty. Besides, she looks pretty enough in candids and in motion, which isn't something that can be said for scads of other women. Inasmuch as I set store by the maxim that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, the bottomline is that this is solely me personal perception.

Of living people, Lily Donaldson might be my current choice. I've only seen faces like this in comic books:

My personal list
Rachel Hurd Wood I think she has the most beautiful face, and I love her doll-like look

Alice Burdeu. To me, she is so beautiful, delicate and dainty

Olivia O' Driscoll. Too bad she doesn't have a bigger career

Very young Kate Beckinsale

Then Gong Li, Crystal Renn, Nicole Kidman (pre botox), Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Gemma Ward, Heather Marks, Marcelina Sowa, Melanie Thierry and many others.

The most beauitful women to me (updated)

PAULINA PORIZKOVA. Her face is the epitome of a classic beauty. She was so damned beautiful and still is.



GENE TIERNEY! She was ridiculously beautiful even until her death. I go on and on about her because she is seriously underrated and I must spread some Gene love

[Underage]

^ They both look like movie stars!

 

[before]

Queen Fawzia, a face like that, is considered beautiful through all ages. Queen Soraya looks like she could be Sophia Loren's sister.

 

[ParadEyes]

Soraya does remind me of Sophia Loren. and Fawzia is usually compared to Vivien Leigh. I really want to see how Fawzia looks like now after losing all her royal titles ( divorced from the Shah, deposed Royal family..such a tragic life) she must be 88 by now.

 

[Squizree]

My grandfather has met Queen Fawzia! He was in Egypt as an English professor and she visited the university or something and he described her as looking like a mythological character rather than human. She's still alive isn't she?

 

[ParadEyes]

^wow! your grandfather is so lucky!! did he have a conversation with her? how was her character exactly? it's one of my ultimate wishes to meet her before she passes away..I think she is still alive. nothing much is known about her nowadays..

 

[Empress Merel]

Fawzia had the looks of an old Hollywood siren. Truly stunning.
