Charlotte Kemp Muhl, longtime partner of Sean Ono Lennon. I thought I looked alright but I feel like a sack of potatoes in comparison! Also she's 36 but somehow looks 22?

I was watching Portrait Artist of the Year last night and Dr Jane Goodall was the subject. She was stunning when a young woman, and at nearly 90 she is still beautiful, elegant and amazing. The finished portrait of her brought me to tears.

Michael Hutchence of which I think Harry Styles has a resemblance. David Bowie. Mark Bolan. Susan Sarandon. Alex Kingston. Princess Anne has the most beautiful skin

Seen IRL or seen on screen?
It makes a huge difference.

Thea Sofie Loch Naess

She played Skade in The Last Kingdom.

Stunningly beautiful

BebbanburgIsMine · 13/12/2023 18:37

Oh forgot to say Stefanie Martini.

Eadith in The Last Kingdom.

Jane Birkin! I saw her play a gig at the Glasgow Arches 10 years ago. It was seated and we couldn’t see a thing with so many tall people sat in front of us. I thought I’d rather be at home with a glass of wine listening to one of her records… When about half way through she left the stage, meandered through the audience, paused when she reached us and sat on my knee and sang to me. It was just superb. I remember thinking, gosh she’s still so beautiful! She could totally read the room and she made that gig better for everyone! She was 66!

It must mean in person, from fairly close by. In which case Kate Moss, I was surprised by how beautful she actually was. Shouldn't have been, really! 😏

AustralianCrunch · 13/12/2023 18:39

Audrey Hepburn

A young woman I saw in a coffee shop in Oxford. She was absurdly beautiful. I

This is very true. There are people the camera loves that look positively non-descript in the flesh. Cillian Murphy looks wonderful on screen, but in person looks skinny, pale and in need of emergency vitamins.

MrsPebbles · 13/12/2023 18:43

Debbie Harry and David Tennant.

Mt61 · 13/12/2023 18:44

Julianne Moore stunning red hair
like most actresses that don’t have, Botox, fillers/ lip fillers, eyelashes like melted LPs

I don't think most people are meaning in person, as I doubt most of them have seen Audrey Hepburn or Liz Taylor in their heyday. As I said earlier in the thread, the only two celebrities I have seen in person were a lot plainer than they appear in pictures (not that either of them were my idea of stunning beauties even in their pictures) Honestly, very very few people are breathtakingly stunning, and those that are are often not the most famous. When you see pictures of Fashion Week, and editorials with no name models, the nameless ones are often the most stunning. Some of the famous names mentioned on this thread really have me shaking my head. I mean Jessie Buckley, Hayley Lou Richardson, Michelle Keegan. Really? Pretty-ish, sure, but nothing out of this world.

MagicFarawayTea · 13/12/2023 18:47

Got to be Natalie Portman. Luminous beauty personified.

Maia77 · 13/12/2023 18:47

Crista Cober (a model), Huw Evans aka H Hawkline (a musician) and Sergei Polunin's not bad (a dancer).

LindorDoubleChoc · 13/12/2023 18:48

Paul Newman. Hands down.

JoeyRamonesHair · 13/12/2023 18:50

Definitely Grace Jones - her looks are surreally perfect. The Jean-Paul Goude photos of her in particular.

alltoomuchrightnow · 13/12/2023 18:24

Resting..the video where she's poledancing though.. just perfection.. she's quirky and I like quirks

Well yes, her cervix is definitely prettier than her face. 😂

I’m just teasing. Quirky is definitely the word.

Morten Harket. I could just stare at him for hours.

Yes to Morten Harket.

There's been some thumbs up and thumbs down for David Tennant. But I will attest that there was a magazine spread open on a table across the room from me, and I crossed that room because who the hell was that. Yup. David Tennant. I crossed a room for him, and subsequent viewings make me think I might cross a continent for him.

SpringerLink · 13/12/2023 18:53

Beautiful is so subjective - I looked up several people mentioned on here and find the odd looking or even unattractive. It really is I'm the eye of the beholder.

RestingMurderousFace · 13/12/2023 18:53

David Tennent is so…mundane. Better than that slithery Chalamet chancer though.

Trixiefirecracker · 13/12/2023 18:54

Sophia Lorenzo, Jane Mansfield, Liz Taylor. Old school beauties. Also Patti Boyd who was Clapton and George Harrison’s wife.

pinkhousesarebest · 13/12/2023 18:54

Kate Moss and Christy Tutlington. I could look at their faces forever
Emmanuelle Béart before she had her lips done.
Catherine Zeta Jones in Zorro.
Audrey Hepburn
