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 once had quite an awkward moment when a friend (who’d been raving about how staggeringly beautiful this woman she knew was) showed me a photo and clearly expected me to reel back from the glare of her stunningness, her image obviously melted onto my retinas...and I saw a very nice looking lady and sort of went ‘oh’. It did not go down well, but it was the build up beforehand!

I once met Rihanna in the flesh without makeup. She was standing outside the makeup room waiting to go in and I thought she was one of her backing dancers. She was so stunning it took my breathe away. Proper thunderbolt. Then later when she was performing on the show I realised she was the beauty outside the room. And I've seen hundreds of celebs yet she really stood out (although Gillian Anderson was incredibly enticing and Dawn French so effervescent she almost exploded with charisma). Lots of celebs look smaller, skinnier and more haggard that in films/photos.

Oh and Tuppence Middleton.

Kate moss back in the day. Not being ageist in saying she's not aged well, I think she has over indulged on certain things!

PompomDahlia · 07/05/2021 21:44

Gemma Chan
Michaela Coel
Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman
Meghan Markle

Are the first ones I think of as stunning. It's about having striking strong looks IMO, rather than 'pretty' like someone like Reese Witherspoon who is gorgeous in a more conventional way

Mile Kunis

Sonja Morgan from RHONY is absolutely stunning imo. Not classically beautiful at all and all the more stunning because of it.

ShamrockHillz · 07/05/2021 21:52

Charlize Theron is stunning to me. She just so statuesque. Everything’s in proportion.

Also Margot Robbie, Lupita Nyong'o, Shay Mitchell, Alicia Vikander and Zendaya.

Eva Longoria

Beyoncé

I once read that there wasn’t a human society that has ever existed where Beyoncé wouldn’t have been painted, photographed, celebrated. And I agree.

@artquejtion

I have heard that before about Christy Turlington, in the flesh she is utterly stunning. Her daughter is incredible looking too.
Christy's daughter favours her father more I think. Her nephew though, my goodness he got all the good genes!

Marilyn Monroe. She was absolutely perfect. It was tragic she died so young but as they say - die young, stay pretty.

I have never seen anyone else quite as stunning as she was.

Tossblanket · 07/05/2021 22:04

Angelina Jolie is beautiful.

Mila Kunis also.

@AnonGlitterBomb

Catherine Zeta-Jones in The Mask of Zorro is the pinnacle of a stunning woman to me
Ha, so funny, I came on here to say CZJ too, although I was going to say in the Darling Buds of May. But Zorro too!
harknesswitch · 07/05/2021 22:05

Kate Middleton- I find her absolutely breathe taking

Me too, absolutely agree

ScienceSensibility · 07/05/2021 22:05

Elizabeth Taylor was luminous in her beauty, a one in a generation level of beauty.

With some women there may be a superficial prettiness, but too often a spiteful character shows through on the face, one woman already named above immediately springs to mind.

Today’s generation of so-called influencers ‘may’ look beautiful in a heavily filtered, heavily made up moment.
Remove all of that and they don’t hold a candle to the timeless beauties we’ve been talking about.

hyperbole001 · 07/05/2021 22:06

Emma Watson is very plain looking to me, but just shows how beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder!

trunumber · 07/05/2021 22:06

My mum.

ClaireEclair · 07/05/2021 22:07

My eternal crushes are Debbie Harry and Lisa Bonet.

I will add Jennifer Aniston in her youth (so sexy), Martina Topley Bird, Brody Dalle (singer, musician), Winona Forever, Susie Cave, Uma Thurman, Alison Mosshart, Gillian Anderson....

It’s so easy to name sexy women. Men is more difficult. I can think of about 3 famous men I find attractive.

@prettylittlestar

Interesting thread I've always admired Kate winslet Faye from steps. She is stunning in recent videos they've released. Cameron Diaz Dutchess of Cambridge
@prettylittlestar I came on to say Faye from Steps - she really is gorgeous! I think as well she seems like such a lovely person that it shines out of her if that makes sense like?!
