Margot Robbie
Even before Australian star Margot Robbie made waves in the Leonardo DiCaprio movie "The Wolf of Wall Street," she had already made a name in her hometown through the soap opera "Neighbours." It wasn't surprising that this gorgeous blonde made it big in Hollywood—she isn't just pleasing to the eyes, she is equally talented, too!
Soon, she bagged major roles, more notably as Harley Quinn in "Suicide Squad" and "Birds of Prey" and the titular character in the biopic "I, Tonya." What makes Robbie more beautiful for us is how she flawlessly gives life to her portrayals, including Barbie in the 2023 live-action movie.
Jennifer Lawrence
Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence was thrust to greater heights after landing the lead role Katniss Everdeen in the hit "Hunger Games" franchise in 2012. While she is relatively a newcomer, fans have seen how she blossomed into a versatile actress, whose acting chops we saw in "Red Sparrow," "Passengers," and "Don't Look Up."
But perhaps, Lawrence is most beautiful when she is being her quirky, uncensored self that she always displays during interviews. The Academy winner's sense of humor effortlessly came out when she revealed that she was thinking about cake when she tripped while walking to receive her Oscar Award in 2013.
Megan Fox
This list would be impossible with Megan Fox, who rose to fame for starring as Mikaela Banes in the 2007 movie "Transformers." At the time, critics touted her as one to watch and indeed, she successfully bagged roles in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," "Jennifer's Body," and "Rogue."
Despite being seen as an actress with a pretty face, Fox is refreshingly honest about the unhealthy beauty standards that society imposes, especially on women. She admitted that she didn't like the way she looked for many years because of the culture we have today. See, even stars suffer the same predicaments average people have.
Hayden Panettiere
Not many know that Hayden Panettiere was already acting in the '90s because she was shot to stardom after starring as Claire Bennet in the 2006 show "Heroes." She went on to star in a handful of projects like "Bring It On: All Or Nothing," "Scream," and "Raising Helen."
Still, even with many years in the industry and a lot of people looking up to her, Panettiere doesn't aim to be perfect. In an interview with Women's Health, she noted how she worked on the inside as much as the outside because being truly happy does show. She also learned that this is the most attractive about a person.
Ruby Rose
Starting her career as a model, Australian star Ruby Rose's rise to stardom came quickly after she began to act in 2008 following a stint as a host for MTV. It took a few small roles before she landed her breakthrough in 2015 in the Netflix show "Orange Is The New Black."
Since then, Rose has become nothing short of an in-demand star, who starred as the titular character in The CW series "Batwoman" and Calamity in "Pitch Perfect 3." The actress, whose beauty is more than what meets the eye, is also an inspiration for people struggling with their orientation after having revealed that she was fluid.
Emily Ratajkowski
Anyone who has ever seen Robin Thicke's music video for "Blurred Lines" will probably recognize Emily Ratajkowski. Despite shooting her to international stardom, the model spoke up about her harrowing experience on the set of the production, inspiring others in similar situations to come out of their hiding.
The gorgeous Ratajkowski didn't just become an activist, she also empowered women through her New York Magazine essay titled "Buying Myself Back," earning praise for her writing skills. She is the woman of the hour because her business Inamorata continues to rake in sales. First an actress, the London-born star is a happy mom to Sylvester Apollo Bear.
Mila Kunis
Born in Ukraine but grew up in the United States, Mila Kunis started her career when she was a teen. She rose to stardom after bagging the role of Jackie Burkhart on the hit series "That'70s Show," in which she was partnered with Ashton Kutcher, whom she went on to marry and have a family with.
Apart from her acting pizzazz seen in films like "Ted," "Black Swan," and "Friends with Benefits," Kunis is attractive not only because she has doe eyes but also because of the woman she came to be. As a mom to two kids, she often shares relatable moments with them, even revealing her biggest parenting fail.
Lana Del Rey
Of course, iconic singer Lana Del Rey is easy on the eyes but this aside, there are other things to love about her. Her vintage style is a breath of fresh air in the dense industry. On top of this, her musical flair as can be observed in her songs "Summertime Sadness" and "Young and Beautiful" is on point.
Fans can also count on her to be financially wise, too! In 2020, Del Rey attended the Grammy Awards wearing a glittery silver dress that was a last-minute purchase from the local mall. Nevermind the bespoke pieces, the "Love" hitmaker showed us it is not about the outfit, it's about how the attire is carried.
Anne Hathaway
Another Hollywood shapeshifter who can transform into any character she wishes to portray is Anne Hathaway. Fans may have seen this skill exhibited in the movies "Les Miserables," "Princess Diaries," and "The Devil Wears Prada." Partnered with her striking appearance, it's no doubt that she managed to stay at the top of the game.
Hathaway also has enviable flawless skin, which is probably because of her love for moisturizers and staying hydrated. According to StyleCraze, the award-winning star believes that the skin is best when it is nourished. And we should be taking note because a dry complexion meant premature aging!
Cara Delevigne
Coming from a famous family, it didn't take long before Cara Delevigne broke out of her shell and entered the world of modeling and then, later, acting. As a bankable star, a lot of luxury brands, such as Burberry and Chanel, want her to be their muse. There's no doubt that her huge fan base is a factor in her success, boasting over 42 million followers on Instagram.
Aside from her obvious physical appeal, Delevingne stands out because of her quirkiness and ability to make people laugh by poking fun at herself. Because of this outgoing attitude, the "Paper Towns" actress has forged friendships with Selena Gomez and Kendall Jenner.
Elizabeth Olsen
Nineties kids would probably be familiar with the family name Olsen because they grew up watching celebrity twins Mary-Kate and Ashley in "Two of a Kind" and "Full House." While the duo became inactive in the biz, we got to know their lovely sister, Elizabeth, who is equally talented!
Some of Elizabeth's impressive feats include "WandaVision," Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," and "Wind River." Aside from her genes, the actress' knowledge on taking care of skin greatly help her seem youthful and radiant. As per CNN, the California native knows the importance of removing her makeup as soon as work is done.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vaness Hudgens earned her big break when she starred as lead Gabriella Montez in the hit franchise "High School Musical," and since then, we have seen her come out of her shell, dipping her toes into other film genres as seen in "Tick, Tick... Boom!" and "Bad Boys For Life."
Hollywood fans can count on Hudgens to slay red-carpet events, and she is usually one to watch because of her unexpected glam, just like when she donned Cleopatra-esque winged eyeliner here. Perhaps, more than her looks, people love that she could confidently sport such trends even though they're not always timely.
Ashley Benson
Ashley Benson's claim to fame is her role as Hanna Marin in the hit show "Pretty Little Liars." However, in real life, she doesn't seem to have a magnet for anything complicated. Even her beauty routine, she tends to believe in the adage "less is more," and we're totally buying this since she leans on light glam looks.
According to PopSugar, Benson only prefers to use moisturizer and lip balm before heading out the door. Plus, because she spends a lot of time on the makeup chair, her routine became as simple as possible. We believe she learned what worked for her, resulting in a timeless glow!
Kate Upton
One of the most gorgeous actresses we have is Kate Upton, who first gained waves for gracing the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Anyone with eyes knows that she attractive, even People included her in its 2021 Beautiful Issue. And while the model admits that her fans adore her for her confidence, she admitted that she doesn't always feel beautiful.
Upton described this as a constant journey for her but whenever she feels overwhelmed or stressed, "The Other Woman" star reflects on the beautiful relationships she has not just with herself but with other people as well. Luckily, she has a very supportive husband in MLB superstar Justin Verlander.
Sandra Bullock
In 2015, Sandra Bullock, star of "The Proposal," "Miss Congeniality," and "Ocean's 8," was declared the World’s Most Beautiful Woman by People Magazine. At first, she didn't believe it and didn't even tell other people because she wasn't too concerned about her appearance.
For her, what's really beautiful is her relationship with her son, Louis, whom she adopted in 2010. Interestingly, Bullock revealed that her child didn't know that she was an actress and that the boy thought she was an astronaut. In terms of staying youthful, the "Bird Box" actress maintains a healthy diet by drinking green juice and having an active lifestyle.
Lea Seydoux
Siren Léa Seydoux began her career in European cinema before she was catapulted to stardom with the critically acclaimed movie "Blue Is The Warmest Color," for which she won the prestigious Palme d'Or during the Cannes Film Festival, becoming one of the few French women to have earned the award.
Seydoux has also become popular after joining Daniel Craig in the Bond film "Spectre." With top-notch movies like "Midnight In Paris" and "Inglourious Basterds," it's not surprising that she always appears at red carpet events. Be it with her long strands or chic pixie cut, the celebrity always stuns her fans.
Bella Hadid
Scientifically speaking, Victoria's Secret Angel Bella Hadid might be the fairest of them all. Research has shown that the placement of her facial features like eyes, mouth, and nose goes with Beauty Phi's Golden Ratio, which is basically the ancient Greek's way of measuring one's beauty.
Well, aside from her looks, Hadid also has an impressive list of achievements. Sure, she may have come from a famous family but she has also built a career in modeling, winning Model of the Year and gracing fashion magazines like Vogue. She is also vocal about her mental health struggles, inspiring her fans who go through the same thing.
Adriana Lima
Even at such a young age, Adriana Lima was already a scene-stealer. At 17, she began to walk the runway for Victoria's Secret, officially becoming an Angel for the brand. In the years that followed, she became synonymous with the lingerie company until she decided to retire her wings in 2018.
Still, Lima made sure that her fans see an incredibly persistent woman in her by staying active in the biz. But more than the pretty face, the Brazilian star also has a big heart, and is known for her humanitarian works. In 2013, partnered with St. Luke Foundation for Haiti and traveled to the country.
Amanda Seyfried
It's hard not to stare into Amanda Seyfried's captivating eyes because of how expressive they are. Of course, we are familiar with how they look because of her movies like "Jennifer's Body," "Mamma Mia!" and "Mean Girls," which put her on the map. It does seem that she has figured out her life.
Not only is she a successful actress, she is also a proud mom of two, Nina and Thomas, who she rarely brings along to high-profile events. Still, Seyfried still finds time for herself and her wellbeing. As far as glamorous looks are concerned, the "Dropout" celebrity told Women's Health that she prefers to be bare-faced.
Marion Cotillard
It is not easy to break into the competitive international scene but French star Marion Cotillard had successfully done it. It wasn't surprising that she would make it big in the industry because apart from her sheer talent, she came from a family of actors. Some of her highly acclaimed projects include "La Vie En Rose," "Inception," and "Assassin's Creed."
The attractive Academy Award winner also boasts a BAFTA, Cesar, Academy, New York Film Critics Circle, and Golden Globe awards under her belt. Nothing short of a Hollywood chameleon, Cotillard is highly celebrated not only because of her charm but also because of her impressive portfolio.
Yvonne Strahovski
Remember Sarah Walker in the 2000s show "Chuck"? Australian star Yvonne Strahovski played the part. After studying performance in the Land Down Under, she moved to Hollywood to get more opportunities. It didn't come too long before projects started hiring her, and despite the competitive arena, she managed to stay active.
Now, Strahovski is renowned for her work in "The Handmaid's Tale," "Dexter," and "The Predator." According to Sydney Morning Herald, the actress' friend revealed that the star worked hard to get out of the blonde stereotype. Apart from this admirable move, the Primetime Emmy-nominee also supports PETA and promotes the "Adopt, Don't Shop" advocacy.
Alexandra Daddario
It's hard not to notice Alexandra Daddario with the crop of actresses we have today. The "Baywatch" star can easily hypnotize anyone into staring at her striking blue eyes and infectious smile! This is perhaps why she was tapped to raise awareness on making eyesight a priority in 2017.
The "San Andreas" star also understands what is best for her skin because she stays out of the sun as much as possible, which is quite interesting because she played a lifeguard in a film. As if these things weren't enough, Daddario is also an advocate for animal adoption after getting a rescued pup herself.
Miranda Kerr
Australian star Miranda Kerr is beautiful in many ways: she is the first from her country to become a Victoria's Secret model in 2007. Then, she worked with many luxury brands like Givenchy and Prada, and launched her own skincare line. She got a lot of people hooked up on her, including her ex-husband and now-friend Orlando Bloom.
It's hard to believe that she ever ages because of the youthful glow that she often displays in bare-faced selfies. Her secret? Kerr has been using the dry body brushing method since her teenage years. According to Healthline, this is the process of using a brush to gently exfoliate the skin.
Cobie Smulders
A lot of people fell in love with Cobie Smulders' Robin Scherbatsky in the hit show "How I Met Your Mother." That's because the Canadian star did an amazing job portraying the part to the point that it seems impossible to separate the actress from her character. The celebrity eventually showed she was capable of portraying other parts as well.
As per The List, Smulders was a model in her teenage years, but it wasn't the life that she preferred. As such, she went on to impress us with her performances in "The Avengers," "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back," and "A Series of Unfortunate Events."
Lupita Nyong’o
It's hard not to stare at actress Lupita Nyong'o because of how luminous and radiant she has always been. In fact, People named her Most Beautiful Woman in the World in 2014, inspiring young girls who look up to her. The Academy Award winner went on to take Hollywood by storm, starring in "Black Panther" and "Us."
Another admirable thing about the Kenyan-American star is how she often champions diversity in Hollywood. Speaking about the matter in 2019, Nyong'o explained that there's a need for representation of people of color in the industry because it gives the youth a chance to continue this trend.
Rihanna
Barbadian singer Rihanna matches her good looks with her talent in making music, releasing hits like "Diamonds," "Umbrella," and "We Found Love." As if these successes weren't enough, she is also a girl boss at the helm of Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty, which were instrumental in making her a self-made billionaire.
More than the superficial, Rihanna has a special place in her heart for helping. In 2017, she was named Harvard University's Humanitarian of the Year for all her contributions to making the world a better place. For one, she launched the Clara Lionel Foundation Global Scholarship Program for Caribbean students wishing to study in the United States.
Rachel McAdams
We love her as Allie Hamilton in the classic romantic movie "The Notebook," we despise her as the lead of the pack Regina George in the teen flick "Mean Girls." This is how effective Canadian actress Rachel McAdams' performances are. This may be because she had been training since she was a child, joining the local theater company's plays.
While many fans are familiar with these achievements, not a lot of people know that she supports a lot of causes behind the scenes. McAdams is not afraid to take it out on the streets, too, just like when she attended the Day Without Immigrants demonstration in 2006 in Los Angeles.
Mahira Khan
One of, if not, the biggest superstars in Pakistan is Mahira Khan, who shot to stardom for her 2011 movie "Bol," which is the country's highest-grossing film. Then, she followed this up with another project "Humsafar," where she gave another notable performance. After this, she became an international star after she was tapped to act alongside Bollywood celebrity Shahrukh Khan for the 2017 picture "Raees."
To cut it short, her influence is vast, especially in her home country. This is why she uses this power to spread awareness on a lot of things. In 2019, Mahira was appointed UNHCR's National Goodwill Ambassador.
Emilia Clarke
What's actress Emilia Clarke's greatest asset apart from her acting skills? Her contagious smile and her ability to light up a room with just a few sentences. She was already a big name in the theater community before she became Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO show "Game of Thrones," which was based on George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" books.
And despite the beauty standards imposed on actors, Clarke is adamant she would never try to adhere to them, even describing them as "ridiculous." She also made it clear that she would tell someone off if they convince her to go under the knife.
Jourdan Dunn
British star Jourdan Dunn seems to be a walking goddess since her teenage years. She was discovered when she was just 16 while at the Hammersmith Primark and it only took a few years before her career truly took off to greater heights. In 2008, she was named Model of the Year.
At the height of her popularity, Dunn became pregnant at 19 but that didn't stop her from taking over the industry by storm. She walked the runway for Jean-Paul Gaultier with a baby bump, winning over onlookers' hearts. What's more inspirational about her is that she also supports a foundation that provides aid to the sickle cell community.
Doutzen Kroes
Dutch model Doutzen Kroes will forever be known for her work with Victoria's Secret, having been an Angel from 2008 to 2014. Since then, brands like Miu Miu and L'Oreal made her their muse. She also graced Vogue numerous times, holding the record for having the most covers in a year!
Along the way, she did dip her toes into acting, most notably portraying Venelia in the "Wonder Woman" and "Justice League" franchise. Kroes also proves that she is not one to cower down to naysayers who slam her for her health beliefs. On Instagram, she boasts over seven million followers, with whom she loves sharing throwback snaps.
Sofia Vergara
One of the most popular Colombian stars is Sofia Vergara, who is best known for being Gloria in the hit sitcom "Modern Family." However, fame didn't immediately come knocking at her door when her family transferred to the United States. While she landed a lot of small roles, some execs told her to lose weight if she wanted to be successful in Hollywood.
It didn't help that Vergara had the problem of finding clothes that would fit her, and the she faced the same predicament when she borrowed designer dresses. However, she chose to embrace her curves, and continues to refuse the standards imposed on Hollywood celebrities.
Kat Dennings
With only a few decades under her belt, Kat Dennings has done an amazing job cultivating her portfolio. She may be recognized as Max Black from the hit show "2 Broke Girls" or as Darcy Lewis in the "Thor" movies. On top of her acting credits, she is also famous for being an animal advocate.
What does Dennings also do best? She can perfect a winged eyeliner. According to her interview with Allure, she can do it in three seconds and prefer to do it on her own when production even though she has a makeup artist. After all, she said she knows her eyes better than anybody else!
Emma Watson
What's not to love about Emma Watson? Since she graced the big screen as Hermione Granger in the cult classic "Harry Potter" franchise, fans have come to love her personality off-cam as well. "Beauty and brains" is how we could describe her, especially because she completed her schooling at the prestigious Brown University.
That's not all, she is also a staunch supporter of women's rights, who promoted the UN Women's HeForShe campaign in 2014. In her speech, she touched on pressing matters such as gender pay disparity and equality. In fact, Watson has taken on feminist-charged roles, including in "Beauty and The Beast" and "Little Women."
Gal Gadot
As a former beauty queen, Israeli star Gal Gadot proves that women can also excel in acting. Under her belt are credits like "Fast & Furious," "Death on the Nile," and "Red Notice." But don't let her angelic facade deceive you; she is known for being vocal about the advocacies she believes in, just like her titular character in "Wonder Woman."
In an interview with Elle, Gadot noted that even though she is righteous, she also knows when to stand up for herself and others when the time is right, even if it meant going against a renowned executive who mistreated her. Kudos!
Priyanka Chopra
Another beauty queen to have found success in acting is Priyanka Chopra, a Bollywood star who made it big in the United States after starring as Alex Parrish in the series "Quantico." The Miss World 2000 pageant winner became 2017's second most beautiful woman in the world, and no one is wondering why.
Her undisputable appearance aside, Chopra is also heralded for having a great soul. In 2016, the "Jumanji" star was named Unicef's Goodwill Ambassador. On top of this, her namesake foundation also aids underprivileged kids in education and health in her home country. The mom of one also reportedly gives 10 percent of her earnings for the cause.
Beyonce Knowles
Fans wouldn't call Beyoncé a queen if she is not perfect. Kidding aside, the former Destiny's Child member is one of the most recognized artists in the industry, having a stronghold in music. According to Oprah Daily, a certain Dr. Julian De Silva touted the "Lemonade" hitmaker the second most beautiful in the world.
This was declared on the grounds of face-mapping technology and Beauty Phi's Golden Ratio, the latter became the standards of Renaissance artists. Aside from this, what fans adore about Beyoncé is how she bravely addresses political and social issues, a lot of times through her powerful songs, including "Formation," which celebrates her roots.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
The first thing that fans will notice about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is her deep green-grey eyes that make it seem she is wearing contact lenses. The former 1994 Miss World is more than a pretty face because she also has the talent to compliment this up. A few years after the pageant, she successfully entered Bollywood after starring in the movie "Iruvar."
Bachchan is the first Indian to have become a part of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. The UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador also proves that even one of the most successful Bollywood stars doesn't give in to pressure because she revealed that she doesn't adhere to diets.
Halle Berry
Halle Berry is considered a Hollywood darling because of how she is able to portray different roles effectively. After having won a pageant, she began her career as a model. Fans would think that this made things easier for the star, but the "Catwoman" actress encountered a lot of problems because of her looks.
Named a couple of times as People's Most Beautiful Woman, Berry had to fight hard not to be dismissed as a pretty face. As a result, she went for challenging roles. According to E! Online, she even had to prove herself to bag the job in "Monsters Ball," which won her an Academy Award.
Angelina Jolie
Fans of Angelina Jolie probablsurprised surpsised to see the "Maleficent" star on this list. In the 2009 Vanity Fair survey, many respondents touted her as the Most Beautiful Woman in the world. With striking eyes and luscious lips, the influential actress really is easy on the eyes.
However, her appearance aside, Jolie is also equally recognized for her humanitarian efforts. As a UNHCR Special Envoy, the mom of six is setting a good example by traveling to other war-torn parts of the world where children are adversely affected. In 2018, the "Eternals" star brought her young ones to Jordan to visit refugees and immerse them in what was happening.
Blake Lively
One of her acting stints was "A Sister of Traveling Pants" but it wasn't until she played socialite Serena van der Woodsen in the iconic show "Gossip Girl" that she became a star to watch for. Blake Lively has since carved her path in Hollywood through her portrayals in "A Simple Favor," "The Age of Adaline," "The Shallows," and "The Town."
Through the years, Lively also cultivated a working relationship with luxury brands and designers. As a muse, she is often one of the most anticipated during red carpet events like the Met Gala because of how she always impresses spectators with her expensive looks.
Scarlett Johansson
A lot of fans recognize Scarlet Johansson as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, she also boasts a diverse filmography that consists of "Lost In Translation," "Under The Skin," and "Her." She is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after actresses of her generation.
Just like her heroine role, Johansson is also a brave soul who fights for the right.

It wasn't until 2006 that she landed her breakout role in the soap opera "Hollyoaks." She gained waves when she also played Daenerys' sidekick in the HBO show "Game of Thrones."
While she found her footing in Hollywood with her performances in "Furious 7" and "Maze Runner," she made sure that she embraced herself and stayed authentic. Even when societal standards demanded her to ditch her natural curls, she learned to represent and inspire women who also have the same hair.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez is one of the most successful child stars that has stayed relevant to this day. We first saw her singing and acting chops in "Barney & Friends" before becoming a Disney Channel celebrity with her portrayal of Alex Russo in "Wizards of the Waverly Place."
However, being this famous took a toll on the Rare Beauty founder, who doesn't shy from revealing that the pressure to look a certain way when she was young affected her mental health. As such, Gomez told Glamour UK in 2022 that she hoped to serve impressionable kids these days by reminding them that it's OK to be themselves.
