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.

A stunning woman in my humble opinion is one who has confidence, allure, happiness and natural beauty in equal measure. Natural born and not made up or enhanced being paramount. I truly doubt any of the above mentioned publicly known figures are purely natural and not physically or digitally enhanced. They are though mostly “stunning” given the amount of effort to get their desired look.

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

Helluva woman!

Incredible! Now she is stunning to me in a way that Marilyn Monroe never was.

Kim Gordon in Sonic Youth. So cool!! Debbie Harry at any time. Emmylou Harris who has changed so much over the years.

Audrey Hepburn - I just think she's heartbreakingly beautiful and I love her fashion sense and look. I died my hair black to try to emulate her when I was younger which is something someone fair with blue eyes should never, ever attempt.
Grace Kelly too. Stunning.

Joan Fontaine. Saw her in Jane Eyre and was just gobsmacked that there could be someone so beautiful created!

Clear skin, glossy hair, good bone structure, posture and self-assurance. (Sadly, I have none of the above)

ThornAmongstRoses · 08/05/2021 15:12

Dakota Johnson in FSOG films 2 and 3.

She looks stunning in those films!

COPPER3 · 08/05/2021 15:15

Sophia Loren.... (classic beauty)
Jean Shrimpton (natural beauty)
Heidi Klum (gorgeous blonde)
Abi Clancy (bloody stunning!)
Don't think Kate Moss is 'beautiful'. She photographs well and is attractive, but not a beauty imo.

Women who are mixed race tend to have beautiful skin, dark eyes and dark hair. They are generally stunning

Crayfishforyou · 08/05/2021 15:25

Red heads
People with figures in proportion
Oval faces
Curly shiny hair
People who know who they are and are quietly confident about it.

kerstina · 08/05/2021 15:49

Oh yes Abbie Clancy is exquisite, so pretty . Also didn't mention Kiera Kightley on my list but agree with her . Such amazing bone structure and perfect skin . Talking as a 52 year old most teenagers are stunning to me . Glowing skin, bright eyed , shiny hair . This thread makes me miss being young !
Beauty is mesmerising though you can't help staring and nothing to do with sexual attraction .
DH has only said one Kate Beckensdale where as I don't see it .
Interesting someone said women like masculine women faces I guess there could be some truth in that .

Quirrelsotherface · 08/05/2021 16:19

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Also agree stunning is not always physical beauty, it's an aura and glow that comes from within. It is bandied about a lot on social media, mainly to those Instagrammers who are filtered so much that they don't even look like themselves.

rarzy · 08/05/2021 16:33

I find people like Abigail Clancy or Kim K who go overboard on the fillers/work that it's the work you notice. When I look at them I can't help looking at the lips for example, I don't think it's just me hence why Kim Ks crying face became a meme!

It is a matter of Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' because there are some celebrities being mentioned on here where I see absolutely no appeal whatsoever and would never call them stunning but obviously that's just mo and other people would disagree.

Loving the stealth boasts on here with posters claiming they are hailed as stunners - according to their partners! It makes me laugh as many of us (men and women) are obviously seen as 'stunners' by our partners but I think we're generally talking about celebrities here.

Heatingsystemwoes · 08/05/2021 16:44

As others have said, beauty is firmly in the eye of the beholder.
I work with a woman who works out, has long hair, nails and fake tan, eyelashes, pumped lips, the lot. Male members of staff definitely go a little bit gooey eyed when she is around - ok, a lot. Some can barely hold it together.
Her style or features don't look at all good to me - she is really lovely but I wouldn't describe her as stunning. I know some of my colleagues would.
People find beauty in different things. I think my DH is really handsome... Others might disagree!

Pink - not conventionally beautiful in the sense of the rest of the women on this thread maybe but she knows who she is and she owns it. What can be more attractive than that?

Most celebrities are stunning. That's why they are celebrities.

IMO, Vivien Leigh was an outstanding beauty and if I could pick someone to look like, it would be her.

In RL, I used to work with someone who was out of the ordinary stunning. It was hard not to stare at her; she was that gorgeous. She was about 5'8" and had an incredibly slim waist that she used to accentuate with big belts and full skirts like a ballerina.

She had an equally gorgeous, high earning DH and 2 lovely looking DCs and seemed to live a pretty charmed life.

BetterThanKleenex · 08/05/2021 16:58

Someone confident. Whether they're in a tracksuit or a ballgown, size 4 or 24, tall or short, if they're confident they'll be beautiful.
