TOP 100 MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN THE WORLD
Top 100 Most Beautiful Women In The World
What makes a woman beautiful? Is it purely down to the way they look physically, or the way they do their makeup?
Probably not. If it was, this list would be very hard to create because there would be so many women to choose from.
Where beauty is concerned, it takes something exceptional to stand out from the crowd. The world’s most beautiful women also have confidence, humour, intelligence, elegance, grace, empathy, compassion, vivaciousness, sass and more.
In other words, in order to make this list, a woman must be beautiful inside and out.
With that in mind, putting together this list of the top 100 most beautiful women in the world wasn’t easy. It took a lot of time to narrow things down to 200 and then, finally, to 100. And who was 101st? Unfortunately, you’ll never get to know.
We took a look at the world of movies, music, television, modelling, art, politics, fashion and more. In celebration of beauty and females, let’s take a look at the top 100 most beautiful women in the world.
Adriana Lima
Age: 36
Dark-haired samba beauty Adriana Lima is a Victoria’s Secret model who garnered a lot of media exposure thanks to her so-called “sexy eye pose.”
However, there’s more to Adriana than just her sultry eyes. As well as modelling for Victoria’s Secret since 1999, Brazilian-born Adriana has also worked for Maybelline, and has appeared in commercials for the Super Bowl.
Adriana – who was once declared the “Supermodel of the World” is now one of the biggest paid models in the world, with Forbes claiming she earned $7.3 million in 2012 alone.
Currently, herself and fellow model Winnie Harlow work as brand ambassadors for clothing firm Desigual, and she has two children.
Angelina Jolie
Age: 42
It’s incredible to think that Angelina Jolie is still only 42. Not only does it feel like she’s been gracing movie screens forever, she’s still incredibly gorgeous and continues to look amazingly young. How does she do it?!
For one thing, Angelina has a big heart. She’s known for her humanitarian efforts, and indeed has received a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. She champions the rights of refugees, women’s rights, education and conversation.
Of course, most of us know this almost perfect beauty (okay, she is perfect) for her movie roles, as well as her relationships. Twice divorced from Billy Bob Thornton and Johnny Lee Miller, Angelina married Brad Pitt in 2014. The two were branded by the media and fans as “Brangelina” but separated in 2016.
One of the most powerful, fiercely ambitious women on the planet, Angelina – daughter of famous seventies actor Jon Voight – has begun directing movies, after a career starring in a string of hits, including Wanted, Salt, Mr and Mrs Smith and Maleficent.
One of the most beautiful women on the planet, Angelina is the epitome of girl power.
Jennifer Lopez
Age: 48
Jennifer Lopez has a secret to her stunning youthful looks – she doesn’t drink.
Hear that, ladies? If you want to hold onto your youth for as long as possible, you’ll have to give up cocktails with the girls at the weekends!
Of course, Latino-American beauty J-Lo has so much more going for her aesthetic appeal than her abstinence. She has one of the most famous, curvaceous booties in the world (which she allegedly insured for $27,000,000) and has always had pure sex appeal.
Jennifer – who became famous for a string of hits in the early 00s – started her career as an actress, starring alongside Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson in 1993’s so-so thriller The Money Train.
But it wasn’t until 1998’s Steven Soderbergh film Out of Sight that people began to notice her. A scene involving herself and George Clooney trapped in a car boot together got men all hot and bothered – as well as women (because George Clooney, come on!).
From there, she signed a record deal and became famous for being “Jenny from the block.”
Her musical career has gone from strength to strength since then, and as evidence by the 2015 music video she did with Iggy Azalea, in which the two danced around in the rain wearing just leotards, she proved that, despite being on the cusp of 50, she’s still a goddess.
Jennifer Aniston
Age: 49
Movie star Jennifer Aniston has always been in the media for the right reasons. A squeaky clean actress, a woman any man would be proud to take home to meet his mom and grandma, Jennifer is loved by everyone. Not only is she beautiful, she’s smart, funny, confident and an all-round good egg.
However, she’s rumours have recently been circling in the media that she’s about to get back together with Brad Pitt, with her friend Courtney Cox begging her not to do it.
Jennifer and Brad dated in the late nineties, and during that time they were one of the hottest couples on the planet. Since their split, Jennifer has dated the likes of Vince Vaughn and Justin Theroux.
Most people know Jennifer Aniston for her role as the cute but dim Rachel in Friends. The show ended in 2004, with Jennifer arguably going onto enjoy a better career than any of her former co-stars. She’s since starred in Marley and Me opposite Owen Wilson, The Cake, Along Came Polly and, of course, He’s Just Not That Into You.
Beyonce
Age: 36
We’ll admit it – we had a little cry when Jay Z revealed her cheated on Beyonce.
It’s hard to imagine how anyone can earn the right to marry the most beautiful singer on the planet in the first place, but it’s even harder to imagine how one would risk losing her by being unfaithful.
Either way, Beyonce was gracious and understanding enough to let bygones be bygones. She forgave her man and they moved on.
It’s a testament to her beauty that Beyonce was able to do that, and is one of the reasons why she’s so loved and admired all around the world. From her humble beginnings as an unknown singer who auditioned for Destiny’s Child in the mid-nineties to one of the most successful female pop artist ever, Beyonce is one heck of a powerful woman who has a body to die for.
And we absolutely love her!
Kat Dennings
Age: 31
Kat Dennings first appeared on our screens in Sex and the City but it was her role in smash hit teen TV series Raising Dad that brought her recognition.
However, most people know her for her part in CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls, in which she plays Max.
Kat has also starred in Big Momma’s House 2 and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and has eyes that no one can ignore.
Kate Winslet
Age: 42
Kate Winslet is the quintessential English rose, whose beauty has blossomed more and more as the years have gone by. Time – and her career – has been kind to her, and she’s emerged as a true vixen of the screen who people can’t help but fall in love with.
Kate achieved instant fame and sealed immortality when she starred opposite a fresh-faced, fellow relative newcomer Leonardo Di Caprio in 1997’s epic romance, Titanic. It was a movie that launched both careers, and since then she’s gone from strength to strength, rarely choosing a bad movie or doing something that could cause a fallout with the media.
In fact, the only faintly gregarious act Kate has ever been “guilty” of is taking her clothes off one too many times in movies. With a heavenly body like hers, though, why shouldn’t she be proud to show it off?
Kate is twice divorced from movie directors Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes, and is currently married to businessman Ned Rocknroll.
Does this mean she is now called Kate Rocknroll? Thankfully, no.
Emilia Clarke
Age: 31
British Belle Emilia Clarke is most famous for her role in the smash hit TV series Game of Thrones.
More recently, she appeared in the latest Star Wars film, and has won several awards throughout her career, including the Scream Award for Female Breakthrough Performance.
Cameron Diaz
Age: 45
Jim Carey was one very lucky boy when he got the chance to get up close and personal with Cameron Diaz for 1993 smash hit movie The Mask. That dancing scene and that dress sent young teens wild all around the world, and since then Diaz has wowed us with her acting skills, starring in movies such as Charlie’s Angels, Vanilla Sky and, of course, There’s Something About Mary.
Cameron’s physical beauty is built on stunning bone structure, but she’s got so much more to offer. She’s also a fashion model, a producer and an author.
Is there anything she can’t do?
(Well, has she ever dated Justin Timberlake? – ed)
Um, yes?
She’s also currently married to Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden and is still going strong in Hollywood – her move grossed over $3,000,000,000 in 2015. Wow, and she’s one of the highest pad actresses over 40.
Go girl!
Natalie Portman
Age: 36
Arguably one of the nicest, most elegant and charming people in movies, Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman shot to fame when she starred as youthful Padme Amidala in 1999’s Star Wars prequel movie, The Phantom Menace.
However, film buffs know that her career started five years earlier. In 1994, she played Mathilda, in a role opposite Jean Reno in the stark thriller Leon.
Since then, Natalie has landed roles in The Darjeeling Limited, Garden State and Black Swan.
Like fellow Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, Ms Portman is known for her activism work outside the silver screen. She became a dedicated vegetarian since before she even started acting, and champions animal rights. In 2009, she became a vegan and refuses to wear real leather, fur or feathers.
Natalie, who studied at Harvard, supports antipoverty campaigns too and is married to Benjamin Millepied.
Kiera Knightley
Age: 32
It’s hard to think that Kiera Knightley, that eternally youthful girl with the finest cheekbones ever who burst onto our screens in Bend It Like Beckham, is now in her early thirties.
Of course, she doesn’t look 32. She still sports her finely chiselled jawline and still looks as young and as radiant as ever. A true English rose plucked from the finest garden!
Kiera has been acting for a long time and, unknown to many, actually acted alongside a young Natalie Portman in Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace. She played a lesser character – Sabe – but it wasn’t until 2003’s Pirates of the Caribbean that her career really took off.
Since then, this London girl has starred in numerous other films, including The Duchess and 2012’s wacky Friend For The End of The World. She’s also got hitched and works as a celebrity endorser for the likes of Chanel and Asprey.
Scarlett Johansson
Age: 33
Another actress who’s probably going to remain eternally young forever, Scarlett is one of those women who can look classically Hollywood with the blonde curls and luscious red lipstick one moment, and dowdy, girl-next-door the next.
And she looks fab either way.
Scarlett’s film career began to take wings in 2001, when she starred in quirky, offbeat drama Ghost World. Bt it was her mature performance in 2003’s Lost in Translation that she really caught the eye.
More recently, Scarlett worked in Scotland on the horror film Under the Skin.
Considered by many to be a Hollywood love symbol, Scarlett is twice divorced, has one child, and launched a music career in 2008, with the album Anywhere I Lay My Head.
Taylor Swift
Age:
Taylor Swift has broken many boys hearts.
Or is it the other way around?
Just as famous for her relationships with the likes of Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal as she is for her music, Tay Tay uses her life stories as fuel for her lyrics.
Indeed, it’s her deeply personal lyrics that make her so universally loved. Fans like the fact that she sings about things they can relate to, such as ripped out hearts and wrecked prom nights.
Like Beyonce, Taylor Swift epitomises girl power in music. So far, she’s released 6 albums, been on 5 major world tours, and she’s picked up 7 Grammy awards along the way. Her songs have also been downloaded more than 130 million times.
Is she as fearless as her album title? She sure is. She’s one of the best female role models there is and that, coupled with her obvious female beauty, is the reason she makes this list.
Jennifer Lawrence
Age: 27
Jennifer Lawrence is an American actress whose movies have grossed over $5.5 billion around the world. Born in Kentucky, her breakthrough role was in the American indie drama Winter’s Bone.
Since then, Ms Lawrence – who once dated Coldplay singer Chris Martin – has starred in huge hits, including X Men: First Class, American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook.
Big fans of Jennifer will know all about her advocation of gender equality and feminism, and the actress founded the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation to better support her charitable pursuits.
As well as dating Chris Martin, Jennifer has been in relationships with Nicholas Hoult and movie director Darren Aronofsky.
Ariana Grande
Age: 24
Pop starlet Ariana Grande is one of the cutest and loveliest people in the world. In 2017, fans of hers were killed by a suicide bomber as they exited her concert in Manchester, UK. In a hugely warm-hearted display of affection and generosity, the singer arranged a benefit concert in the same city, returning just a few weeks after the attack to sing for families and friends of the victims. Manchester – and indeed the world – took Ariana to their hearts.
Ariana Grande’s career began in 2009 when she appeared in the Nickelodeon sitcom 13. Realising how popular she was with viewers, she launched a singing career just a year later.
To date, Ariana has released 3 albums and continues to star in movies and television shows.
Mila Kunis
Age: 34
Sultry beauty Mila Kunis is an American actress who is currently married to Ashton Kutcher. She previously dated former child star MacCaulay Culkin and is easily one of the most beautiful women in the world right now.
It took a while for Mila’s film career to get going, although she enjoyed a strong television career when she landed the role of Jackie Burkhart in That 70’s Show in 1998.
However, she had to wait ten years for her Hollywood breakthrough, when she starred in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. From there, she hasn’t really looked back, and has enjoyed success in movies like the raucous Ted, the rom-com Friends with Benefits and the set piece-laden, fantasy drama Oz the Great and Powerful.
Kunis was actually born in Ukraine, and Russian is her mother tongue. Her family moved to LA in 1991, and it was then that Mila developed the acting bug.
Even if she hadn’t become an actress, she’d still be one of the most beautiful people on the planet (we just wouldn’t know it).
Kylie Minogue
Age: 49
Is Kylie really almost 50? Really?
The fact that she well and truly is proves that real beauty is timeless. It transcends age.
Kylie is perhaps most famous for having one of the pertest bums in the music industry, but there is so much more to her. She’s beaten breast cancer in a defiant act of girl power, released 14 hip-shaking albums in a phenomenal career and has remained free from negative tabloid press for almost all her career.
Indeed, it’s a testament to this queen’s virtuous nature that few – if anyone – has a bad thing to say about her.
That’s not to say she’s squeaky clean – just check her music videos out – but throughout a long and successful career that began in the 1980’s with a stint on American soap opera Neighbours, Kylie has remained the embodiment of the wholesome girl-next-door figure who fans continue to cherish.
Rihanna
Age: 30
Born in Barbados, pop singer Rihanna has been shining like a diamond ever since she burst onto MTV with her smash hit songs SOS and Pon de Replay in 2006.
Yep, she was the one who sang those songs, and yep, they really are that old!
Rihanna, of course, is now at the peak of her powers and has never looked so gorgeous. She has a net worth of over $230,000,000, and Forbes have ranked her as one of the top five most powerful celebrities in the world.
Rihanna sparkles in more ways than one. As well as being a gifted musical artist, she founded Believe Foundation in 2006 to help terminally sick children. She’s also fought hard to raise awareness of AIDS and her contribution the Stand up to Cancer TV special in 2008 helped to raise millions of dollars for cancer research.
Bless her heart, Rihanna is also deeply religious and reads the Bible frequently.
Christina Aguilera
Age: 37
American singer Christina Aguilera is widely recognised as having one of the most powerful voices in pop ever. She sings like an angel and looks like one, too. With cascading blonde hair and red lipstick, her look is feisty but refreshingly classical.
Christina shot to fame at the tail end of the nineties with her smash hit single Genie In a Bottle.
Then, her career took a controversial turn in 2002 when she released the raunchy single Dirty, which was accompanied by an even raunchier video.
Despite this, she’s known as a stonewall Pop Princess who has her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as well as 5 Grammy Awards. Over the course of her mega successful career, Christina has released 7 albums, including a Christmas songbook.
One of the most beautiful women in the world, she was also listed by Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world.
Preach, girl.
Shakira
Age: 41
Where would Shakira be without those hips?
Where would the world be without them?
Colombian singer Shakira is known for her swaying hips that can literally send people into a trance, but she’s also an incredibly successful singer in her own right, who’s an icon in her home country.
However, it wasn’t until her fifth album that she achieved worldwide fame. Hit single Whenever, Wherever was released in 2002 and since then her star has risen. She’s collaborated with Beyonce, married footballer Gerard Pique, and picked up 3 Grammy Awards and 5 MTV Video Music Awards.
Oh, and she’s also the biggest selling South America singer of all time.
Penelope Cruz
Age: 43
Dark-haired, Spanish maiden Penelope Cruz has been the envy of women everywhere since she achieved world-wide fame with the 2001 movie Blow, in which she starred opposite Hollywood hunk Johnny Depp.
Before then, she was already famous in her home country Spain, after playing roles in popular Spanish films such as All About Your Mother and Live Flesh.
Part of Penelope’s global appeal is her accent, her eyes, her elegance and her clean-cut image. With eyes men get lost in, she’s a sultry beauty who has played powerful, relatable roles over the years, such as in Volver, a smash hit movie for which she was nominated for dozens of awards.
As well as acting, Penelope is a spokesmodel for L’Oreal, has guest edited the French version of Vogue, and – according to a report by The Telegraph – has more sought-after body parts for those seeking plastic surgery than any other women.
Voluptuous but petite, Penelope has the perfect figure and we can’t get enough of her!
Salma Hayek
Age: 51
Who remembers where they were when JFK was shot? Everyone who was alive at the time.
Who remembers where they were the first time they saw Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn? Men, that’s who. Men.
Salma Hayek exploded into the public consciousness when she starred as a stripper in the Tarantino-penned mid-nineties thriller From Dusk Till Dawn. Cast as some sort of bikini-wearing vampire, she looked amazing.
Fast-forward twenty years and Salma still looks amazing. Nature has been kind to this Mexican goddess who continues to wow audience with her figure.
Salma has been married since 2009 and has one child. She also works as a model and producer, and was depicted in art pieces by Robert Rodriguez as an Aztec goddess.
Well, isn’t that what she is?
Of course.
Kendall Jenner
Age: 22
Love her or hate her, there’s no denying that fierce Kendall Jenner is one of the most beautiful women alive right now.
Aged just 22, her best years are still ahead of her, which is amazing. She currently works as a fashion model, but is no doubt most famous for her role in reality TV show Keeping up with the Kardashians.
As of the time of writing, Kendall is one of the most followed people on Instagram and is the world’s highest paid model.
She’s edited issues of Vogue and LOVE, as well as starred in their page, and has walked for Victoria’s Secret.
With incredible legs, eyes and bone structure, she deserves her place on this list. We just can’t wait to see what she does with her image next.
Kim Kardashian
Age: 37
Like half-sister Kendall, Kim Kardashian is very much a love-or-hate figure. Her legions of fans (and she has millions) see her as a modern day icon for the digital world. Time have described her as one of the most influential people in the world, Vogue has called her a “pop culture phenomenon,” and she is the biggest paid reality TV star in the world.
Confident, entrepreneurial and family focused, she’s a queen that we at Beauty and Tips love.
Her flair for eye-catching spectacles is, of course, a major reason why she’s successful. In 2007, a leaked video was condemned by many but it thrust her into the public eye, while her 72 day marriage to NBA star Kris Humphries in 2011 has been described as “sham” by many.
But apart from the controversy, there’s no denying that Kim is a natural beauty and a bold, powerful female personality who deserves our respect.
Cara Delevigne
Age: 25
British model-turned-actress, Cara Delevigne is still only 25, still looks so youthful, and yet – like so many other women on this list – seems to have been around forever.
Her modelling career began in 2003, when she was just ten years old. She later signed to Storm Model Management and became an overnight sensation when she was cast in Burberry’s spring/summer 2011 campaign.
Since then, Cara has become one of the most widely recognisable faces in the world. Whether partying the night away in clubs or passionately embracing her lovers, Cara is one beauty we can’t get enough of.
Since giving up the catwalk, she’s appeared in movies such as Suicide Squad and Tulip Fever, as well as numerous commercials for the likes of Apple and Chanel. She’s also taken up various writing ventures.
Pixie Lott
Age: 27
Blonde-haired pop singer Pixie Lott is another gorgeous girl who’s flying the flag for British beauties in this list.
Known for her music and her legs that seem to go on forever, Pixie sports a casual, friendly girl-next-door image that, combined with her sugary music, has won her fans all around the world.
So far, Pixie has released 4 albums and is engaged to fashion model Oliver Cheshire. She has been named one of the world’s sexiest women by UK publication FHM numerous times, and is currently preparing her fourth album after a stint in theatre.
Gemma Arterton
Age: 32
We clearly can’t get enough British beauties, and actress Gemma Arterton is another fine example of what the country has to offer, both in terms of acting talent and natural beauty.
Gemma achieved her international breakthrough when she starred in James Bond movie Quantum of Solace as 007’s love interest. Since then, her career has rocketed and she’s appeared in the films Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia and The History of Love.
Before achieving world-wide, red carpet fame, Gemma worked in theatre, making her stage debut in a 2007 production of William Shakespeare’s Love’s Lost Labour.
But it was, of course, Quantum of Solace that was the making of her, and Gemma fended off 1,500 other candidates to land the part.
Jessica Alba
Age: 36
With a net worth of over $340,000,000, Jessica Alba is one of the richest, as well as one of the most stunning actresses, on the planet.
As well as acting, Jessica is also a smart businesswoman who has made money from ventures outside the silver screen, too.
Her Hollywood career began when she landed the lead role in cult TV series Dark Angel. From there, Jessica was cast in smash hit movie Sin City, and her career has taken on huge strides since then.
Jessica has consistently been include in lists of the most attractive women on the planet, and her inclusion in this one is certainly nothing news.
Indeed, people find her so attractive that they’re even prepared to go to amazing lengths to look like her. In 2010, it was reported that a young Chinese woman wanted to go under the knife so that she could look just like Jessica. The reason? So her ex-boyfriend would want her back.
Despite her obvious good looks, Jessica has repeated over the years that she wants to carve out a career as a serious actor and does not want to be known simply for being beautiful. She has also always insisted that she would never bare all for a movie.
Rooney Mara
Age: 32
American actress Rooney Mara is proof that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. A petit figure, she’s a world away from the physical stature of Beyonce, but like all the women in this list, Rooney has an inner power, radiance and confidence that adds to her delicately innocent beauty.
She’s starred in a number of movies down the years, many of which are known for their interesting, psychological examinations of people, such as Carol, Her and Side Effects.
Fun fact about Rooney: She loves football. In fact, it was her family’s father that founded the New York Giants. And as if that wasn’t enough, it was her mom’s family that founded the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rooney says that football is “the glue that holds our family together.”
Emma Watson
Age: 27
Yet another English rose on this list, Emma Watson is an English actress who starred in the Harry Potter franchise of films as Hermione.
Since then, she’s added the likes of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Noah to her filmography, but has spent much of her time in school. Emma studied at Brown University, which she graduated from with a BA in English literature.
Emma has many interests outside of acting, and is a certified yoga and meditation teacher. She once said that she needs to “find a way to always feel safe an at home within myself. Because I can never rely on a physical place.”
Emma is a well-known champion of feminism, and describes her faith as spiritual universalism. She is currently unmarried but was recently linked with Glee star Chord Overstreet.
Reece Witherspoon
Age: 42
New Orleans gal Reece Witherspoon is one of our favourite people who starred in one of our favourite movies ever, Legally Blonde (and the later, less well-received Legally Blonde 2). She’s blonde, hot, and works as an actress, producer and entrepreneur.
Her acting career goes as far back as 1991, but it was really her turns in movies like American Psycho, Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama that thrust her into the limelight. In 2005, her raw portrayal of Johnny Cash’s with June Carter Cash in the film Walk the Line got her numerous plaudits, and she continues to pick some amazing films.
In 2014, she produced the riveting and chilling smash hit movie, Gone Girl.
As well as acting, Reece is known for her charity work. She has been a supporter of Save the Children for a long time, and helped out with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which affected her home city.
Reece has been twice married, with Jim Toth her second husband.
Megan Fox
Age: 31
Megan Fox is an American actress and model who must possess the most piercing eyes since Cleopatra.
Megan has enjoyed a semi-successful acting career so far, with her role in Transformers as Mikaela Banes literally changing her life. Since then she has starred in Transformers spin-offs, as well as the recent Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles films.
Megan has sad that the increased media spotlight on her has been hard to adjust to. Naturally shy and insecure, she’s never enjoyed being cast as a role model, although she later said that she would be happy if she could help young women feel “strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right.”
Megan Fox is a Christian who says that she is asocial.
Anne Hathaway
Age: 35
Anne Hathaway has been acting for a good few years now, but while we at Beauty and Tips have always been aware of her beauty, it was only when she played the sultry Catwoman that men started to crazy over her.
Anne Hathaway as a feline? Certainly!
Maria Sharapova
Age: 30
Russian tennis ace Maria Sharapova has done it all in tennis in the few years she’s been playing it professionally. A Wimbledon champion aged just 17, Maria’s talents are meteoric, and she has since gone onto win all 4 Grand Slam Titles.
A stunning athlete, her total prize money at the time of writing is $37,205,769.
Maria has the body and flexibility of a proper athlete, but she has the mind of a Mensa member. As well as her great successes on court, Maria has a launched a programme to mentor female entrepreneurs.
Although she represents Russia and has Russian citizenship, Maria has lived in the U.S. since 1994. On her Russian citizenship, she says: “it is about the family environment, it is about the rich culture. Just life experiences that I look back to and I know that for so many years I was shaped into the individual I was from those experiences. And not necessarily simply the country, but the people, the mentality and the toughness and that never giving up attitude.”
Eva Mendes
Age: 44
American actress Eva Mendes has been in a relationship with Ryan Gosling since 2011, a relationship which continues to break female hears everywhere!
Naturally, the handsome Gosling would only date the most beautiful women on the planet, and Eva is certainly that. She’s also a fine actress, who has starred in films such as 2 Fast 2 Furious, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Hitch and We Own The Night.
She also owns a line of dinnerware and bed linen that sells in Macy’s.
Oh, right.
Demi Lovato
Age: 25
No article dedicated to the most beautiful women on the planet would be complete without Ms Lovato.
Demi is a singer and actress who was born in New Mexico, but who now lives in Los Angeles. She achieved early mini-fame playing a character in Disney’s Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2, before signing a record contract with Hollywood Records.
Then her career really took off, and Demi has released a string of hit albums, including the number one Here We Go Again.
Demi’s music is widely recognised and she’s won all kinds of awards, including MTV Music Video Awards and five People’s Choice Awards.
Easily one of the most stunning young women on the planet, Demi is equally talented; she plays the piano, drums, guitar and, of course sings fantastically.
Demi Moore
Age: 55
Speaking of Demi’s …
Demi Moore might have entered her 55th year, but her beauty is showing no signs of fading. In fact, this foxy lady is, well, even foxier than ever.
True, Demi’s career peaked in the mid-nineties, after she starred in a number of critically acclaimed films, such as Ghost and A Few Good Men.
However, while her career has dovetailed since then, Demi continues to look amazing and we for one wish we could see more of the woman who was previously married to Hollywood hunks Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher.
Monica Bellucci
Age: 53
If we had to pick the biggest goddess on this list, it would have to be Italian actress and model Monica Bellucci.
Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek would run her close, but with those long legs and the dignified way she handled her recent divorce from actor Vincent Cassel, we’d have to give it to Monica.
And if you needed proof that her beauty hasn’t waned despite her age, Monica became the oldest James Bond girl when she appeared in Spectre.
It wasn’t the first time she’s chosen a – shall we say – unusual role. In 2002, she starred in violent and hugely controversial French film Irreversible opposite her husband.
Never one to shy away from challenging films, Monica is gorgeous and talented. We can’t wait to see where her career takes her next.
Lea Seydoux
Age: 32
French actress Lea Seydoux achieved a kind of infamy when she starred in controversial French film Blue is the Warmest Colour. But while that film brought herself, the rest of the cast and the director a heap of attention (mostly good, it has to be said) the amazingly pretty Lea’s career has got much more to it.
After starring in numerous French films, Lea hit the Hollywood big time in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds. She then appeared in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Beauty and the Beast, The Lobster and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
With that accent, that smile and those skills, Lea has got so much more to offer the world yet.
Jessica Biel
Age: 36
Justin Timberlake kinda ruined it for men everywhere when he proposed to girlfriend Jessica Biel, but what really ruined it for them was when she accepted his proposal and went ahead and married the former NSYNC wailer.
Oh well, life goes on!
Easily one of the most beautiful women on the planet, Jessica is also a fine actress who won the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Feature Film in 1997. Since then, she’s appeared in the likes of The Illusionist, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Hitchcock.
However, Jessica is an indie girl at heart and has been busy working in independent productions of late. She’s also made the transition to producing and is known for her charitable work.
Rachel McAdams
Age: 39
Fresh-faced Rachel McAdams might be approaching 40 but she doesn’t look a day over 25. Still as innocent-looking as a flower on a spring morning, Canadian actress Rachel is the kind of wholesome woman you’d love to be sat next to on a long flight.
Rachel has starred in movies such as Red Eye, Wedding Crasher and Mean Girls, and has picked up several awards along the way, including a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Nope, this isn’t just a case of a bunch of lecturers getting hot under the collar by the appearance of a cute student. Instead, mathematicians used scientific precision to work out which woman had the most beautiful face on the planet and Florence Colgate – a then-unknown 18 year old student from the UK – came out on top.
Florence’s features are flawless and no one can argue with her because she has math on her side.

Or – gulp – our own faces.
Um, let’s not ask.

We love all the women on this list, but we have a very special place in our hearts for Miss Katy Perry, a true individual who speaks her mind and who is the true embodiment of girl power.
Katy – like so many women in this list – seems to have been around forever, yet she’s still in her early 30’s. She rose to fame with her I Kissed a Girl single in 2008, a song that attracted a heap of controversy.
That may have been the point, but when you look at its lyrics now, there’s really nothing controversial about them.
It’s the same for Katy herself. Over the years, she’s attracted the tabloids simply by being herself. Her clothes are outlandish, her hair styles are daring but they are so Katy Perry – and we love them!
With 4 Guinness World Records and 5 American Music Awards behind her, the former wife of British motormouth Russell Brand continues to excite and dazzle. We just wonder what this femme fatale will do next.

Britney Spears
Age: 36
Come on, you didn’t seriously expect us to omit the modern day queen of pop, did you?
It might not be 1999 anymore, but Britney has still got it. Still making danceable music, still touring and still looking amazing, the Oops! I Did It Again singer bounced back after her very public meltdown in 2006 and has never looked back since. That resurgence took the kind of courage and mental fortitude that only a woman strong and beautiful enough to deal with constant media intrusion and pressure like Britney has.

Martina was a prodigy, winning the Wimbledon, Australian and U.S. Open titles when she was just 17 years old. It was a remarkable feat, but she didn’t end there; Martina went onto win the Australian Open when she was 18 and 19, too.
Unfortunately, she was never to reach such formidable heights again and retired prematurely in 2003, citing injuries and constant pain.
Recently, however, Martina has returned to the world stage, competing for doubles titles. She’s won three, and returned to the world number 1. It was an incredible turnaround by an incredible woman.
