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.

Taylor Hill and Olivia Palermo for me are just perfection

One of the most beautiful women I ever met was a young woman I met up with who writing an article for the publication I edit. She was a fairly archetypal idea of 'stunning' - huge green eyes, snub nose, pouty lips, lovely skin, long blonde hair. I found it quite hard to look at her she was so insanely beautiful! There's something almost unreal about the best looking people (male or female) that I've met.

@DrSbaitso

My husband would say me. No, he really would.

He's got shit in his eye, obviously, but it works for me.

Same here!

But that sums it up doesn’t it? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and it comes from deep within.
It’s faithfulness and a sexy glint in the eye, it’s feminine curves from carrying your children and a deep belly laugh at your jokes. It’s all these things and so much more.

  • impossible to quantify.

Isabella Adjani
Emmanuelle Beart
Olivia Hussey

When they were young. Before all the work.

Nick Kamen is pretty enough to be included with the women. It's in the candid shots that you really see how breathtakingly beautiful he was. Reminds me of a young Jolie.

Penelope Cruz in vicky cristina Barcelona, in fact everyone in that film is gorgeous

Allmyfavouritepeople · 07/05/2021 22:12

Came here to say Vicki McClure so am happy to see she's already been mentioned.
For me it's cheekbones and confidence so I'd add Angelina Jolie, Mila Kunis, Alison King and Surrane Jones to that list.

Yeah i have a type...

I did see a woman waiting for a train at Tottenham Court Road about 13 year ago and I was just stunned by her beauty. She was tall and slim, short hair and the most beautiful face but didn’t seem like she knew she was beautiful. I was so drawn to her but thought I was being weird. I still wonder about her lol.

ChocAuVin · 07/05/2021 22:13

Angelina. Mesmerising.

calmMedownplease · 07/05/2021 22:13

Isla fisher for me -stunning

rarzy · 07/05/2021 22:14

Tbh I think there is a difference between being sexy or beautiful or stunning. For me beautifulness has an elegance & a certain maturity in that you have it at 28 as opposed to 18, perfect features etc & although it fades it's still there eg Christy Turlington will still be beautiful at 80.

Being sexy or stunning tends to dim with age & you don't have to be beautiful or even conventionally attractive.

FreekStar · 07/05/2021 22:15

To be stunning you need the whole package- beautiful and striking face, fabulous slim, strong and tall physique, confidence and elegant, great posture .

rarzy · 07/05/2021 22:15

Yes Nick Kamen was gorgeous

GeorgeandHarold66 · 07/05/2021 22:15

Rosie Marcel from Holby City and Heather Peace.
Both have amazing bone structure and a natural look.

I'm not a big fan of the big lips, fake lashes trend and don't find that "stunning" at all.

Each to their own though.

I think Ashley Graham has a beautiful face & is very striking/stunning to look at. She's not slim.

@CocteauTwin

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.

She was definitely a natural beauty.

I think it is hard to describe what a "stunning" woman looks like. If i was to name a top 10 most beautiful they would all have very different features.

TruffleShuffles · 07/05/2021 22:17

The first name that came to mind when I saw this was Eva Green. She is mesmerising, her face isn’t perfect but I think that’s what makes her so stunning. Symmetry and conventional features can be quite boring.

Cam2020 · 07/05/2021 22:18

Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christie Turlington, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

MrsJBaptiste · 07/05/2021 22:19

Nicole Scherzinger
Eva Mendes
Kim Kardashian

Blonde hair just doesn't say 'stunning' to me 🤷‍♀️

rarzy · 07/05/2021 22:19

What I think is so rare with Angelina Jolie is that she can be very sexy & elegant, that's unusual!

StormBaby · 07/05/2021 22:21

It’s nothing to do with looks. It’s a confidence, a sparkle, an inner light. Facial features don’t come in to it at all

ChocAuVin · 07/05/2021 22:21

@ClaireEclair I have known Martina very casually (close friends with family) since earliest Tricky days and agree — she’s ethereally beautiful, but it’s not skin deep — in ‘real life,’ I can only describe it like being in the presence of Prince.

SwedishK · 07/05/2021 22:23

When I think of stunning women, there are definitely similarities between them. They are all brunettes, they all have a strong nose and cheek bones and soft lips. I really like Helena Christensen, Stephanie Seymore, Linda Evangelista, Ingrid Bergman and her daughter Isabella Rossellini for example.

Blondes tend to be more cute than stunning in my opinion, but there are exceptions I'm sure.

Natalie Umbruglia

Iheartmysmart · 07/05/2021 22:24

I used to work with someone who I thought was absolutely stunning. She must have been in her late 60s, very tall and slender with a white grey crop hairstyle and was never seen without her signature red lipstick. She always wore beautifully tailored wide leg trousers, a twin set, brogues and a beautiful necklace. I know it sounds cliched but she had a real presence. Short, dumpy me was in awe as she glided elegantly down the corridor.
