To ask if you have a girl crush.

I’m 99% straight, but have a slight girl crush on Sophie Ellis Bexter: don’t fancy her, but think she always looks amazing and lots of fun. And she manages to be successful and have lots of kids.

Does anyone else have a celebrity girl crush ??

If I was going to turn Lily James would be my girl crush. Glad nobody else seems yo have nabbed her!

Keeley Hawes
Billie Eilish
Margot Robbie

Paige from Neighbours (Olympia Valance), she's a bloody goddess- even if the character was a bit irritating!

Oti Mabuse.

HandforthParishCouncilClerk · 14/04/2021 07:33

Ooh, Florence Pugh.

PyjamaFan · 14/04/2021 08:06

Nigella

Dawn French. Beautiful, funny, kind. I'd marry her and we would live by the beach with lots of dogs.
Jessica Chastain - pure sex.
Angela Basset - can't pinpoint it. She's just stunning.

StCharlotte · 14/04/2021 08:21

Still faithful to Keeley Hawes...

ToffeePennie · 14/04/2021 08:24

Karen Gillan

Rosie Ramsey!

Florence Welch has been my girl crush for years now, also quite like Vicky McClure.

littlepattilou · 14/04/2021 10:41

Ooooh, a few more people have named I also think are girlcrush material, incl Gillian Anderson, Ruby Rose, Keely Hawes, and Kelly McDonald. Also Viola Davis, and Zoe Kravitz. Smile

My No 1 girl crush is still Rihanna though. Smile

northernsquirrel · 14/04/2021 12:40

Mariska Hargitay (Olivia Benson, SVU)

HerbErtlinger · 14/04/2021 12:43

Christina Hendricks. Absolutely stunning

Squidgling · 14/04/2021 13:14

I'm bi anyway but at the moment my absolute favourite is Katheryn Winnick, especially as Lagertha in Vikings. Also Evan Rachel Wood.

traumaticconversations · 14/04/2021 13:28

At the moment, oddly - Jodie Foster .

Longer term ones that just don’t go away -
Kylie Minogue, Tess Daly, Hermione Norris, Natasha Lyonne, Nicola Walker .

I am as gay as the day is long, however !!

I like a very obvious type of beauty. Of course it's in the eye of the holder, but I would describe many of these women as mildly attractive.
To me, however, Sofia Vergara is absolutely mindblowingly stunning.

BrownEyedGirl80 · 18/04/2021 17:08

Megan Fox.Shes not a natural but she's stunning imo.

BrownEyedGirl80 · 18/04/2021 17:09

natural beauty I meant

GrolliffetheDragon · 18/04/2021 17:13

I'm bi so have loads, but I'm going to join in with the Gillian Anderson appreciation here. Absolutely love her.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 18/04/2021 17:16

The younger Diana Rigg or Stevie Nicks for me. There's something compelling about both of them, not only in the way they look but the way they speak and carry themselves.

Academics: Susannah Lipscombe and Janina Ramirez. Absolutely not Alice Roberts. She has a supercilious air these days that I find anything but attractive.

Nigella is incredibly sexy, I'd agree. And Lily Allen has a naughty air about her, which despite her silly pontifications at times, I quite like!

pinkstripeycat · 18/04/2021 17:23

I can see that some women are beautiful, the same as some men are handsome but don’t understand the girl crush thing. I don’t fancy every nice looking bloke I see and I’ve never fancied a woman
