Whenever someone says they/someone they know is stunning,all i ever want to ask is what do they look like.

Not because i doubt them, not at all, i just really want to know what does a stunning woman look like TO THEM.

I think it's all in the cheekbones.
And the woman who has the best cheekbones is Michaela Coel IMO. Now she is stunning.

Kristin Scott-Thomas in 4 Weddings, and Yasmin Lebon

@ihavethehighground have just googled Gal Gadot and have to say I agree with you.... she's lovely.

@Chocolatier9 apparently Henry deemed her ‘too unattractive to marry’ not because she actually was, but because she damaged his ego. He did the dress up thing he usually did and she didn’t fawn over him and he was hurt so he said she was too ugly to remained married to to save himself. Awful really, as she has carried that label throughout history and she is always ignored amongst his wives. Mind you, Cromwell was killed for it so I guess she didn’t have it that bad..

Mmmm, although she had a comfortable and quiet life and didn't get beheaded so perhaps she didn't mind all that much.

Don't know how true this is but I've head that Holbein got sent to paint her and her younger sister Amalia to take back to Henry so he could choose one. Holbein fell in love with Anne so his portrait made her look beautiful as that's how he saw her.

I think Michaela Coel is incredibly striking. It's that model thing where you can't decide if the overall look is beautiful or just different.

Theres a mum used to go to the mother and baby group I went to who I'd class as stunning simply because her eyes are amazing... so blue you notice them across the room. The rest of her was fairly normal, healthy looking, no makeup, slouchy clothes, tied up hair, nothing remarkable, but her eyes made her really stunning.

Women I've thought are beautiful are Felicity Jones, Gemma Arterton, Rachel Weisz, Winona Ryder

Liv Tyler is her prime was such an ethereal beauty. I had a serious girl crush on her in the 90s and early 00s.

Princess Grace of Monaco. Now there was a beauty!
Agree with Helena Christensen.
Funnily enough, I don't agree with Angelina Jolie being beautiful. Striking, yes, but I feel she has a hardness to her for some reason?
Iman Bowie!

Sophie Turner and Indira Varma

'The former queen received a generous settlement, including Richmond Palace, and Hever Castle, home of Henry's former in-laws, the Boleyns. Anne of Cleves House, in Lewes, East Sussex, is just one of many properties she owned; she never lived there. Henry and Anne became good friends—she was an honorary member of the King's family and was referred to as "the King's Beloved Sister". She was invited to court often and, out of gratitude for her not contesting the annulment, Henry decreed that she would be given precedence over all women in England save his own wife and daughters.'

Not bad for a woman who everyone thought was ugly! And she didn't have to go through 1500s childbirth either!

Ava Gardner. My late aunt was the absolute spitting image of her. Alas, I am not...

Helluva woman!

There was a lady in her 80’s - Hungarian (?) who used to be a singer. She still looked amazing and had the most beautiful eyes and bone structure. She must have been even more stunning as a young woman. I was mesmerised by her!

I went to a friends Indian wedding & one of her older relatives had the most amazing face, with killer cheekbones. I couldn't stop looking at her, she was late 60s & quite overweight but stood out. I said to me friend who is that women, "she is incredible looking?". I'd love to see photos of her young.

Interesting subject. I think Gillian Anderson and Lily James are both absolutely stunning. Gillian has this glacial coolness and Lily has fabulous features.
