Lisa Bonet! Her name escaped me for a minute, she’s still utterly stunning.

Rosario Rawson.

Rosario Rawson.

Dawson, but yes, definitely.
I'd add Oti Mabuse and Holliday Grainger.

Interesting … Every single time Motsi Mabuse appears on Strictly I find myself photographing the screen. She is indescribably beautiful.

I have never seen any woman more beautiful than Kate Moss in her hay day.
I can watch videos of her all day, she was just magical.

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

She is very pretty. I wouldn't call her the most beautiful ever, but she is easily better than some on this list (I don't get the big deal about JLo or Jennifer Aniston, I think that's more about nostalgia)

Isn’t it lovely that we have different tastes.
There’s quite a few mentioned on here that I wouldn’t regard as being beautiful but each to their own.

Hannah Waddingham 😍

Hannah Waddingham is stunning and quite an inspiration. 😃

Claire Forlani... amazing. So mesmerizing in Meet Joe Black. Great acting.

Of all the photos on this thread, Hedy Lamarr stands out as the most beautiful to me.
I never understand why Jennifer Aniston is described as beautiful. Very pretty, extremely attractive, but not beautiful.

When? No one in the Royal family was particularly good-looking before Diana and Kate added their good genes.

What on earth are you on about.
Princess Margaret was absolutely stunning as a young woman.
