Adding Honour Blackman to my list.

No idea what she looks like now, but I once worked at an event where Dutch supermodel Karen Mulder was appearing. If you like the classical beauty look, the word stunning doesn’t even come close.

Nenah Cherry when she was younger.
Nigella Lawson

Karen Gillan for me. Even when she's bald and blue and terrifying in GOTG.

I learnt something today. If you loved someone, they will always be with you.

Not sure if she's been mentioned, but Hedy Lamarr. Not only beauty, but brains. She co-invented frequency hopping, intended for use in blocking the jamming of guided torpedos in WWII. And which is the core idea behind 'spread-spectrum' which is used in mobile phone technology.

OOPS, someone beat me to it. Oh well, here's another picture. She's well worth looking at.

Debbie Harry.

A matter of opinion I guess but I genuinely think Michelle Keegan is perfect.

SewYellowLikeButter · 31/08/2026 10:05

Courtney Cox in the 90s/00s!

She’s had a LOT of work done and still somehow just looks like a pretty woman you’d see walking down any street in Britain to me.

Courtney Cox in the 90s/00s!

She was very pretty, but the horrific amount of plastic surgery she had made her unrecognisable and terrifying-looking in my view. Watching all the Scream films from the beginning makes you really see the complete transformation.

If beauty is an inner quality - Dolly Parton and in any case, she was good-looking.

TheSmellOfSea · 31/08/2026 10:40

Controversial but Blake has to be up there imo

Yes she was a beautiful soul. She didn't think she was pretty. Her old photos without lots of make up say otherwise.
