Since time immemorial, the definition of beauty has kept evolving. We have compiled a list of the top most beautiful women in the world who have created magic either through their work or their auras. Although, we must not forget that there is definitely more to beauty than just the physical attributes of a person. It’s something that comes from within your soul. It’s the light that shines through you, and it’s in your personality. So ladies, please don’t mistake beauty for something as shallow as your physical appearance. You’re beautiful just the way you are.
SOPHIA LOREN
This Italian beauty made her debut into fame when she was just 14 years old, after she entered into a beauty pageant — and the rest is history. Although she wasn’t internationally recognised for her acting skills until the 60s, Loren then went on to win some of the highest acclaimed awards; including a Grammy and five Golden Globes.
GRACE KELLY
Grace Kelly has one of the most famous — and beautiful — faces in the world and we’re pretty sure you’d be hard pushed to find someone who disagrees. This beauty made waves in the acting world when she was just 20 years old and had continued success until she married Prince Rainer III aged 26, when she then retired from acting to take on official duties as Grace of Monaco.
BRIGITTE BARDOT
Brigitte Bardot was (and still is) the very definition of a sex symbol; she embodied everything a woman wished she was and a man wished he was with. Bardot wasn’t just a pretty face; she stared in 47 films, performed on the stage in musicals and recorded up to 70 songs — what a woman.
ELIZABETH TAYLOR
As famous for her wild love life (she was married 8 times) as she was for her acting skills, Elizabeth Taylor is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women from the past 100 years. Since first gracing our screens as a child star, she had an impeccable career which saw her win two academy awards, amongst others.
JAYNE MANSFIELD
No list like this one would be complete without a blonde bombshell and rather than going down the usual Marilyn Monroe route, we’ve chosen Jayne Mansfield. Although her acting skills started to be overlooked by her blonde hair and large assets and her career started going down the pan, she remained a well-known celebrity — and a Playboy playmate.
