I don’t generally care about the Met Gala, but my jaw dropped when I saw this photo.

Can you imagine walking around looking like this?!

Where do you live that you see people that look like her ‘all the time’? Where there are millions of women who look like top models?

Is this like that thing where even portly out of shape men think they could take a game of tennis off Serena Williams?

Facially, yes I see woman who are just as beautiful daily. Big eye roll to you. Just because they are famous it doesn’t mean they are another species nor should they be put on a pedestal.

A very beautiful actress would be Sara Martins, I don't believe the was at the met but she is stunningly beautiful.

Megan is also an incredibly beautiful woman and I really don't believe people disagree, I think it's possibly an attack of the green eyed monster. As a person i have no idea what she's like but superficially you would not call Megan plain.

Anok Yai also looks very lovely in the met photos but I'm not sure I would say the most beautiful woman in the world.

If you’re famous for being beautiful, then it’s generally because you’re more beautiful than most other people. That’s rather how it works.

You said you saw women who looked like her, every day. That is a direct quote. The likelihood of similar levels of attractiveness being that ubiquitous aside, it’s highly unlikely to be true unless you currently live in East Africa. You’ve apparently realised this and are now amending it to ‘women who are just as beautiful facially’, which is something entirely different.

Do keep rolling your eyes, though.

Anok is utterly stunning imo. I know we're talking primarily about women here, but have you seen Anok's boyfriend, Alton Mason? He's gorgeous.

Tospyornottospy · 07/05/2024 20:57

I had to Google Kaia Gerber today as I thought she was so bloody beautiful!!!

I'm not a fan of Meghan but she is absolutely stunningly beautiful. I would argue that that even her detractors wouldn't deny that.

Same, I think she's extremely self absorbed but she is beautiful.

In which way would her hair be 'glued' on, and what gives you that impression?

In the same way Rita Ora's hair was given the wet look... Confused

I agree with Anok being incredible. She's absolutely breathtaking, she's got the loveliest skin & facial features

Seriously? I mean Megan is attractive but she’s hardly beautiful,it would be a rare person who thought that.

I was excited to read a positive thread uplifting women, and only a few posts down there’s this 😂

I, too, think Meaghan is stunningly beautiful. Her smile, her freckes/moles, she just has a warmth about her. Someone pointed out on reddit the other day that she looks very similar to Shantel VanSanten which I agree with - same wide, natural smile. Also a very beautiful lady.

Anok Yai is very beautiful and symmetrical. Her face is perfect down to the last millimetre.

Some people are more attracted to less symmetrical, more unique/quirky appearances, finding them eyecatching and beautiful (thankfully my
husband included). See the legions of women who would prefer Jeremy Allen White to Chris Evans.

See how it’s possible to discuss these things without putting women down.

I think that she is striking rather than beautiful.
I think that Kaley Cuoco has always been girl next door pretty. However, she strikes me as the type of person who would be prettier in real life
Meghan Markle is very naturally pretty.

There is nothing ‘natural’ about Meghan Markle

thebabessavedme · 07/05/2024 21:02

@DazedNotConfused1 , no, I don't believe you see women who look like Anok everyday . She is one of those human beings who just seem to have a very unusually put together face, she is beyond beautiful.

So many are pretty, lovely, etc, as striking as Anok is a rare thing.

boysgrove · 07/05/2024 21:06

She would also be just as striking without any hair glued on her head. Its her face that's beautiful

BlueSlate0 · 07/05/2024 21:09

There are soo many photos of young Meghan on the internet, her as a child
even. So it’s plain to see her beauty is natural. Her face has changed very little beyond ageing. Any work she has had done is very subtle.

Btw people who slag off other women online are massive losers.

Sara Martins was SO GORGEOUS! She also had a certain innate elegance. I haven’t seen her in ages. Will Google what she’s been up to.

I think it’s generally best to ignore the Megan detractors. At this point, it’s like they think they’ll burst into flames if they say anything positive about her.

Farah Fawcett was the most stunning woman ever, and knocks Anok Yai into a cocked hat.

No he isn't. His neck is scarily long. Very odd looking.

She does look like Shantel VanSanten! I’d never noticed before!

Also, excellent comment.

She certainly had a truly spectacular smile.

No. She's very striking but I dont immediately jump to beautiful. Thats a very flattering picture of her.

I think he looks like a work of art. Who do you consider beautiful?

Worthitforthe · 07/05/2024 21:37

I thought Meghan was beautiful but her character has overshadowed that initial opinion sadly. Can't get past it when I see her picture.

StoneTheCrone · 07/05/2024 21:37

I also agree that Meghan is extremely attractive. The first time i saw her was in a film and I watched the credits to find out who she was.

qwertyqwertyqwertyqwerty · 07/05/2024 21:39

CwmYoy · 07/05/2024 15:17

No. She looks quite plain in some photos.

She has a fabulous body but her face doesn't quite have it all.

There were several more better looking than her there last night.

Hahaha 'plain'.

She speaks very highly of you Grin

Halfheadhighlights · 07/05/2024 21:40

The dress is beautiful and she carries it well with her lovely figure.

Facially, nothing special in my opinion.
