A woman who I know well-ish, she is in early thirties now but has quite frankly won the genetic lottery. She is stared at and drooled over by everyone in the street (men and other women)

Oh to be her...

Who's the most beautiful/attractive woman you've ever met and why?

It doesn't necessarily have to be completely based on appearance either, maybe the way they carry themselves etc

I'm intrigued to know.

My friend is beautiful, she has a really classic and classy look. I can imagine her portrait in a palace hundreds of years ago.

When I was teaching there was a girl who everyone described as 'drop dead gorgeous.' I believe she still is. She certainly won the looks lottery, as her sister was nowhere near as attractive. Both now married with families.

One of my close friends is absolutely gorgeous. She gets a truly unbelievable amount of male attention. Objectively speaking, she is very pretty but it's more her aura, the way she carries herself and her personality that actually make her so attractive.

She has a huge amount of friends, people just gravitate to her. She's one of my favourite people, she's genuinely lovely and very kind.

I would love to be her tbh!

As others have said most people are ordinary. I really don’t see stunning men or women
However, when I was at college many years ago there was this mixed race girl who looked exactly like Sade. Long jet black hair which she wore in a sleek ponytail, large gold hoop earrings and red lipstick.
I remember getting on the same bus with her and every single person on that bus stared at her
She was truly stunning

I've met 2 women who are just undeniably perfect.

Both are beautiful, have lovely kind personalities and confidence which I think just adds to it. One has a really cool job as a folk singer/musician and has travelled the world, has plenty of money. I wonder what it must be like to be them. I could only imagine what it must be like to be the full package. Unfortunately I am very average but aware I'm luckier than a lot of people.

TammyJones · 03/07/2023 12:56

Yes
I saw her for the first time in a restaurant
Beautiful dark, thick hair
Big brown eyes
Immaculate make up and clothes
Years later I ended up going out with her dhs cousin - what's the chances ??
At first I was in awe, but once I got ti know her , I found her ti be the most loveliest person.
No airs at all.
Even now , some 30 years later, if we crossed paths she (not with cousin) she always speaks and be please to see me.
And she's still as gorgeous as ever

YesYesAllGood · 03/07/2023 12:59

A girl I was friends with at uni. She was Scottish but both parents originally from Nigeria. Not only was she absolutely gorgeous looking but she had a really funny sense of humour and the most infectious laugh. She was just a joy to be around.

Paulina Porizkova sat in front of me in the theatre once, about 20 years ago. She was bone beautiful. I probably spent more time gazing at her than I did the stage. 😊

Backtoblack1 · 03/07/2023 13:12

Catherine Zeta. Truly naturally beautiful.

I saw a young mixed race women in sainsburys who was so beautiful i was looking round like is everyone seeing this. I thought people were going to stop in their tracks.

She was so beautiful it made me feel insignificant and ugly.

Most mixed race people are gorgeous,

Catherine Zeta. Truly naturally beautiful.

Years ago a plastic surgeon told me that she has the most perfect female face. I didn’t particularly rate her at the time but looking back at the Darling Buds of May era, she really was a knockout.

My answer is difficult.

I grew up in a very sheltered environment, on an executive estate. Very few of the mums worked or had had large lives before marriage. The women in our neighbourhood had a good friendship network.

My own DM had a good friend down the road who had moved here from Germany to marry a soldier after WWII. That fell through but she became a fairly successful model, married a City executive and had DC before we met. She was a devoted wife and mother and a really intelligent, lovely woman at the personal level. Best babysitting gig ever! To this day she is the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and although she is old now she still has a smashing figure.

But her father was SS and had gone into hiding before she left Germany. She never saw him again and thought the SS were treated badly by the Allies. She retains vestiges of highly troubling racial prejudices. Her politics are right wing, I mean really right wing.

The combination of these qualities is surprisingly hard to process. Most who know her, including me when young, try to find excuses for her views.

It is interesting that this woman like others mentioned above is also very self contained, though unfailingly courteous to people who approach her. (For some reason she has seldom been harassed by men.)

What does self contained mean ? Sorry for being dense

MynameMyname · 03/07/2023 13:25

I can count the amount of truly beautiful people I have seen on the fingers of one hand. However, one of my sons teachers was absolutely beautiful , in her early twenties, she looked just like a young Grace Kelly , tall and slim .

It was amusing to see the dads go gaga Looking at her at parents evening and becoming tongue tied when it was their turn to speak to her . That's when I realised the power true beauty has over men

Namechangexyzw · 03/07/2023 13:25

Hi, @MynameMyname

This woman is quiet and reserved. She doesn’t reach out much to people she doesn’t know well. I don’t think she would be comfortable chatting to a stranger on a plane or at a public event. That kind of thing

A friend looks like Megan Markle. A relative looks like Kendall Jenner. They are both like a work of art and it's very hard to not just openly gawp. I stood next to a catwalk model in a loo queue once. She was memorising but also very other-worldly looking. I used to date a famous male model. He was quite something to behold. Watching him get out of bed in the morning was like watching a Greek god brought to life!!

Jennalong · 03/07/2023 13:31

Years ago when I had a Saturday job in a deli there was a woman there who was probably in her late 50s / maybe even 60s ( would be 100% now dead ) whilst not beautiful per se , had the most glowy skin I've ever seen on anyone . She was very softly spoken , very refined , and had a lovely personality.

honeylulu · 03/07/2023 13:54

A work colleague's girlfriend (now wife). The first time I saw her was when he brought her as a plus one to our wedding. She was so striking looking everyone stared at her without meaning to! Really beautiful bone structure, high cheekbones, perfect pale skin, very dark hair and light blue eyes. Classically beautiful and surface pretty at the same time. A bit mean of me but work colleague wasn't really blessed in the looks department so her stunning beauty was a surprise in that respect. I met her a few times after that and she always wore very understated clothes, almost bordering on dowdy. My husband and I used to joke that she had to wear clothes like that to tone herself down a bit! Really lovely person too.

catscatscurrantscurrants · 03/07/2023 13:56

There was a girl at school in the same year as me. Her mum was an artist and she and her daughter always dressed in the most effortlessly bohemian style, carried themselves so gracefully and unassumingly, exuded goodness. Both were truly beautiful in all senses.

LadyAstor · 03/07/2023 13:57

A friend (now 55) who Ive known since school looks like Claudia Schiffer - truly stunning. Tall, slim hourglass figure, natural blonde hair, light grey/green eyes, perfect nose, milk white teeth, bone structure to die for. She used to model then settled down and had children.

An absolutely incredible dancer.

She used to stop traffic and everyone used to stare at her. She's also completely down to earth and funny. Men still go a bit mad when she's around.

Wiennetta · 03/07/2023 14:15

A friend of mine is really beautiful. She’s naturally lovely but when she wears make up she just looks amazing - she has just one of those faces which wears strong make up well - she has very defined almost oversized features like big eyes and bold eyebrows and she’s dark skinned so she can do really bold/bright colours. She also holds herself very well and is very graceful. She’s a lovely person which shows through I think.

HectorPlasm · 03/07/2023 14:30

To echo what some others have said, its often the way they glide elegantly above all else

FictionalCharacter · 03/07/2023 14:39

A long time ago I was in the Covent Garden area and a young woman walked in front of me with an older man. They were walking very briskly, laughing and chatting. She was tall, stunning and beautifully dressed, and was one of those luminous people - like she was lit up by an inner light. Sounds corny but I’ve seen very few people like that. It was Princess Diana and the man would have been her bodyguard. It was impossible not to stare because she looked so different from everyone else. I think there are women who are more beautiful in the sense of classically beautiful faces, but she had incredible presence.

MrsMarzetti · 03/07/2023 14:43

Sarah Duchess of York was stunning when i met her 30 years ago, her skin looked so soft and luminous. My Mum ( i am not biased) she was so beautiful everyone stared at her, men and women always wanted to talk to her but she never thought she was beautiful. She had such poise and grace.

PopsicleHustler · 03/07/2023 14:59

An old friend of mine. She is Asian. But looks more like mixed black and white. Very gorgeous hair, gorgeous eyes, full lips. But she did love herself quite a bit and thought everyone fancies her. She was also down to earth and bubbly. Even though she did constantly carry a compact mirror in her hand. We grew apart as I wanted to marry and settle down and she wanted a constant club and pub partner.

Also, my husband, obviously I think he is the most handsome man in the world.
But i kid you not, he is 40 and looks 30, he's black and its true, Black doesn't crack. Men literally stare at him. Women stare at him and nudge their friend to look. He is very muscular and has lovely lips and eye lashes, black curly hair. The thing is he doesnt actually see it. Women wave at him and stare even when he is walking down the street, even with me they stare , they don't care am there, they even wave at him pushing the pram or holding the toddler.
He is extremely friendly and polite, caring and sweet. He is very bubbly and kind and asks my friends or cousins or aunty questions about their day and how are their families/work/health.
People always tell me how lovely he is and my aunt says he is more handsome every time she sees him . He is so gorgeous but he isn't arrogant or anything. His name on my phone is literally hunk husband. Haha.

I also see lots of nice looking ladies, but I think also personalities make ladies more beautiful.
I prefer natural looking ladies, a lot of mums I see on the school run are botox mad and caked in foundation, yet when you see them natural with nothing on they are so insecure, but I actually stand admiring some of them, saying wow she looks so much better without all that makeup on.
