Yes! 100%! Although I think that Paul Newman is one of very few men who could have stood next to Elvis and not looked like a gargoyle in comparison 🤣

New nomination for this thread: Priscilla Presley.

Edited to add: cheers for the link to the Beautiful Man thread! I couldn't find it before but was following the old thread avidly. ❤️

Most of mine have already been mentioned but wanted to add - Mischa Barton but only as Marissa in The OC. She was breathtaking.

Unfortunately she didn't age very well although at least she didn't succumb to tons of work on her face.

I watched Pride and Prejudice last night and was reminded of just how pretty Rosamund Pike is!

Properjob · 30/08/2026 21:12

No one mentioned Charlize Theron? The most perfect face surely and incredible figure too.
Kate Moss is also incredibly beautiful in the flesh but not asclassic.

Someone said Lucy Liu and I'd agree that she's stunning

I'd love to look like Isla Fisher. She might not be the most stunning but she's beautiful, looks a nice person and is youthful looking.

And yes Elizabeth Taylor!

In your photo Liz is already an ageing beauty and she didn't age well, but in her earlier roles she was absolutely breathtaking. Her alongside young Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was like the two most beautiful humans on Earth came together.
