I was born in '73 and have always had a huge passion for music. I suppose most of the female celebrities that I wanted to look like were singers. My top 4 were (and still are),

Sade (the most beautiful woman in the world imo and I still adore her music)

Debbie Harry

Susanna Hoffs (still stunning at 66)

Belinda Carlisle

And Pam as a stunning fellow Island girl. She’s an amazing person.

born in 71 and I always thought Paulina Porizkova gorgeous and Patsy Kensit and the late Paula Yates had something about her. Now it’s Marilyn Monroe. She was absolutely beautiful.

sciaticafanatica · 07/04/2025 17:09

all the above as I’m a 70’s child
but I honestly thought Madonna was absolutely stunning!
she was flawless with sass!
her style changes & different hairstyles were amazing.
Think I’ve still got my lace gloves in attic

Caron Keating - I always thought she was both beautiful & just a lovely person.

Kelly Brook would have been the celebrity woman I most wanted to look like.

Julia Roberts & Sandra Bullock are also beautiful.

JohnTheRevelator · 07/04/2025 17:15

I was born in 1963 so was a teenager during the 70s. I always thought Debbie Harry was beautiful.

Maggie Cheung
Gillian Anderson

I thought Gillian Anderson was gorgeous in her X file days.

And Nicole Kidman too. Now I hardly recognise them.

This is a bit embarrassing but when I was 14 I’d seen on tv a couple of times a girl I REALLY wished I looked like , she had a beautiful complexion and I went and got my hair cut the same and persuaded my mum to let me get blonde highlights . Couple of weeks later I found out that this beautiful girl was actually a boy - Taylor Hanson !

I'm 66.
Debbie Harry was stunning with her blonde hair.
Lisa Stansfield
Gorgeous clear skin and beautiful mouth.
Kim Wilde simply stunning.
But if we are talking stunning men you can't beat these two.

Born in 1974.
To be honest, in my teens it was all about the men for me! The only one I can think of is Sara Stockbridge, who used to model for Vivienne Westwood, and I thought/think was absolutely gloriously beautiful.
Oh, actually, I thought Sherilyn Fenn in Twin Peaks was gorgeous. I used to love her clothes.

I Think her and David Duchovny have both aged beautifully.

Demi Moore in Ghost has been my answer to “which celebrity would you most like to look like?” for 35 years, although I was only just a teenager in 1990.

Runners up would be Katharine Ross and Lori Singer.

DejaMooo · 07/04/2025 17:33

I was a huge X-Files fan in my teens and had a big girl crush on Gillian Anderson.
