The ten most beautiful women in the world that I know of who are also famous enough to be in the Wikipedia. Some are old now, but I think of them as they were in the flower of their beauty, when it was hard for me to tear my eyes off them.
1. Sophia Loren (1934- ) is an Italian actress. I saw her in the film, “Boy on a Dolphin” (1957). I have never seen a more beautiful woman in my life. More than perfect she was beyond anything I thought possible. More.
2. Elizabeth Taylor (1932- ) is an American actress. What eyes! More.
3. Vilayna Lasalle is an American swimsuit model and video vixen. Her face is perfect. More
4. Jill Marie Jones (1975- ) is an American actress. She starred in the television show “Girlfriends” and was once a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys. What lips! She is not beautiful in an ordinary way, but somehow I cannot take my eyes off her. More
5. Kim Kardashian (1980- ) party girl and friend of Paris Hilton. Did not like telling her grandmother that her sex video was on the Internet. More.
6. Maria Shriver (1955- ) is the first lady of California. She used to be an American television news presenter in the 1980s. I would eat my Corn Flakes and just look at her, barely hearing the news. What a jaw! Because she is more famous now as the first lady of California, it is hard to find pictures of her when she was young and incredibly beautiful. Most pictures you see on the Internet from her younger days are done in the dreadful 1980s style. A pity. She is over 50, but even now she looks better on television than in still pictures. More.
7. Sanaa Lathan (1971- ) is an American actress. She is probably best known as the heroine in “Alien vs. Predator”. I saw her in “Disappearing Acts” (2000) and could not take my eyes off her. Looking at her is like eating ice cream on a summer day. More
8. Rachel Ward (1957- ) is an British actress made famous in the early 1980s by playing a priest’s lover in the “Thorn Birds”
9. Heather Headley (1974- ) is a Broadway actress and singer from Trinidad. She starred in “Aida” and “The Lion King” on Broadway. More.
10. Gabrielle Union (1972- ) is an American film actress. Of all the women here she is easily the one I have mentioned most in this blog. More
Honourable mentions (not in any order): Naomi Campbell, Brooke Shields, Sade, Ally Sheedy, Sarita Choudhury, Gina Torres, Gloria Reuben, Solange Knowles, Paulina Porizkova, Ann Curry, Susanna Hoffs, Angela Bassett, Patricia Ford, Pia Reyes, Tia Carrere, Yasmeen Ghauri, Eva Longoria, Amy Weber, Genevieve Nnaji, Dakore Egbuson, Suman Ranganathan, Bria Myles, Natalie Imbruglia, Monica Vitti, Monica Bellucci, Angell Conwell, Karyn White, Sharon Leal, Angelina Jolie, Bipasha Basu, YaYa Da Costa, Tamara Tunie, Brandy Norwood, Lela Rochon, Audrey Hepburn, Omotola, Charmaine Sinclair, Claudia Lynx, Ananda Lewis and Rosario Dawson.
So for me eyes count the most, then lips and then high cheekbones. I love hair that is thick and black.

you dont like monica belucci or katherine zeta jones
Sat 9 Jun 2007 at 23:07:48
I thought I had listed Monica Bellucci. Thanks. As to Catherine Zeta Jones – not quite, but almost.
Fri 12 Oct 2007 at 11:27:52
hi,please i would like to know the name of a woman who was once a refugee and was rated top 50 among the beatiul women in the world
thanks
Fri 12 Oct 2007 at 17:39:06
You are thinking of Alek Wek.
Sun 18 Nov 2007 at 01:45:19
You’re crazy! You don’t have one single Asian woman on here. Asian women are the most perfect on Earth! Gong Li, Lucy Liu, and about a hundred thousand more over there….
You need to expand your horizons.
Sun 18 Nov 2007 at 02:24:30
Ann Curry is half-Japanese, does that count?
Sun 18 Nov 2007 at 03:13:01
In my younger days I liked Asian women. I even had an Asian girlfriend once. I love their high cheekbones and black hair. Still do.
But as it turns out I like black and Mediterranean women better. Women are beautiful all over the world. It is true! But I cannot like all women equally. Sorry.
If you notice there are no blondes on my list either. The same reasoning applies.
Tue 18 Dec 2007 at 07:10:29
Aaliayah should be on that list!
Thu 27 Dec 2007 at 07:56:19
asian women are definately not the most perfect on the earth. i don’t think there is a race that is most perfect, i just think u get what u get. i still was surprised lucy lui wasn’t on there, she is gorgeous
Thu 17 Jan 2008 at 23:39:51
I’m still confused about Marie Shriver?!? Really? huh…there’s something to think about…. :-/
Thu 17 Jan 2008 at 23:55:16
Well, I am remembering how she looked in the 1980s. I loved her jaw:
http://abagond.wordpress.com/2007/06/21/maria-shrivers-jaw/
Sun 20 Jan 2008 at 09:08:12
You must have been high off crack, crack rock that is. no Nia Long, Jada P(will smith wife), Bria Myles, Christina Applegate, or even Catherine Zeta Jones in your top 10!! My man you smoking heavy for real say no to drugs!
Sun 20 Jan 2008 at 09:12:59
I almost forgot my baby Aaliyah. Me being from the D she stays #1 in my book all day
Sun 20 Jan 2008 at 17:40:32
I have seen pictures of Aaliyah where she is very beautiful, as beautiful as anyone on this list. But that is just in certain pictures. Sanaa Lathan, on the other hand, is beautiful not just in certain pictures but no matter what she does.
Sun 20 Jan 2008 at 17:51:20
Christina, Catherine and Nia are all great looking but for me they are not as good looking as the women on this list.
I love Jada as an actress, but I would not call her beautiful.
I love Bria, the way she looks. I will add her to honourable mentions. She should have been there already.
I have separate posts on Nia and Bria:

Wed 19 Mar 2008 at 23:59:13
Charlize Theron?
Thu 20 Mar 2008 at 01:36:27
I loved how Charlize Theron looked on the poster for “Aeon Flux”:
http://movies.about.com/library/weekly/blaeonflux092605.htm
But in general she is more good-looking than beautiful. Thanks for the suggestion. I had forgotten about her.
Thu 3 Apr 2008 at 20:39:07
I will *NEVER* understand how *anyone* can find Angelina Jolie remotely “attractive” much less “beautiful” with her ugly overly huge lips that have the shape and appearance of a trout fish! I can’t even look at her face if there is a picture of her on the internet I have to click it off right away!She is really one of the ugliest celebrities I have ever seen!
I have found many heterosexual men saying the exact same things on many different message boards,they say they find her ugly with her overly huge fish looking lips! Two guys even posted pictures of fishe’s faces and said she looks just like them and she really does! Quite a few men said that the last time they saw something that looked like her mouth it was on the end of a fish hook!
One guy asked on a message board,how can anyone find her huge sausage lips attractive,and a guy said he disagrees and that it’s like sausage but like this,and he posted a close up of a fishe’s face and he posted an eek emoticon right next to it. Another guy said on another message board,that John Voit doesn’t make pretty babies.
I saw a picture of Angelina at about age 11 and she was so sacary and ugly looking,she had bulging eyes and huge fish shaped lips. And on another site they posted celebrities as children and they posted a picture of Angelina at about 5 years old,and someone said Angelina Jolie was ugly,she still is!!
Her mother was very pretty with normal sized and pretty shaped lips,it’s too bad she doesn’t look anything like her.Marylin Mopnroe,and Elizabeth Taylor had full lips but not overly abnormally huge and they had a very pretty shape they weren’t shaped anything like an ugly fish like Angelina’s lips! And Scarlett Johansson’s lips are too big also but at least she has pretty shaped lips that don’t have any appearance of a fish!
Thu 3 Apr 2008 at 20:54:35
Also my mother was an artist and she even sold some of her sculptures in local galleries,and she drew me in pastels when I was 5,and when I was 7 she sculpted my head and neck,but it came out looking more like my best friend accross the street than me and we all laughed at this,and when I was 18 I sat for her and she drew me in charcoal pencil.She never drew or sculpted anyone with huge fish shaped lips!
I was always considered to be beautiful since I was a baby,and strangers used to come up to me and my parents in public places when I was a baby and a little girl and say what a beautiful baby and child I was,and I never had full lips,I never had thin lips either though,but I have a delicate pretty shaped mouth,light skin,high cheekbones,light auburn hair although my hair was much more red when I was younger,I was born with red blonde hair that was much more red than strawbery blonde and I had very big beautiful deep set dark brown doe eyes,(that don’t look as big as they used to)which is unusual because most natural redheads have light eyes,blue or green. I never had any feckles either thank G*d.
Also on many different message boards from 2005 to the present many men and women are saying that Brooke Shields looks like an ugly tranvestite,a man,and a tranny etc. in recent years.Quite a few men and women said they never found her attractive and some said they always thought she was ugly.
She was very pretty when she was a child,teenager and in her 20’s but it’s really true that in some pictures over the last couple of years she looks odd like a man wearing women’s make up! Many people say that her jaw got to big and manly looking,but you find that attractive in Maria Shriver.
Thu 3 Apr 2008 at 21:03:47
Not to sound conceited but I forgot to mention I had a really small pretty shaped nose that was smaller before age 12,but I still have a cute small to average sized nose.I wish my nostrils were a little smaller though,but they only show too much if I’m looking up.I also have an oval shaped face which is the prettiest shape to have,shape face is impoprtant too. Even though Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful when she was young,I never liked her heart shaped face because of the slightly pointed chin instead of a more pretty rounded one.
Thu 3 Apr 2008 at 21:15:19
Also Lauren Bacall was really beautiful when she was young and is still very attractive at her age 83! Milla Jovovich is really beautiful too,and I think and I’m not alone either,that Jaclyn Smith is one of the most beautiful famous women ever and is still beautiful in her early 60’s!
Thu 3 Apr 2008 at 23:28:04
I like your sense of humour. Thanks for your comments. You should do a blog.
Thu 3 Apr 2008 at 23:28:13
Of Brooke:
LOL – about her looking like a man wearing women’s make-up. I have not followed her lately, so maybe you are right. Like with Maria Shriver, I am thinking of her as she was in the 1980s. Yes, her bone structure is probably what drew me to her, as with Maria.
Thu 3 Apr 2008 at 23:28:20
Of Angelina:
Just as white men look at Halle Berry and like the white beauty in her, so I look at Angelina Jolie and like the “black” in her, meaning her cheekbones, her eyes and her lips. They are not that far off from a black woman’s, if you think about it.
Thu 3 Apr 2008 at 23:28:29
Thanks for your suggestions.
Milla – there are some good pictures of her, but in general I do not like her eyes. She looks kind of mean.
Lauren Bacall. Yes, that was an oversight on my part. I have liked her for a long time. Good call.
Jaclyn Smith, like Catherine Zeta Jones, has the right general look, but somehow does not quite hit the mark, whereas Monica Bellucci, say, does.
Tue 3 Jun 2008 at 18:17:56
shes most beautiful.shes intelegent.shes perfect.shes 100%.shes camilla belle.
Wed 4 Jun 2008 at 00:49:37
Thanks, but she is not to my tastes.
Wed 4 Jun 2008 at 16:53:44
tot every1 used to scream angelina jolie is the sexiest woman alive i am surprised she is not on the list bt am also glad cos i dnt support the fact that she is rily beautiful
Sat 14 Jun 2008 at 22:25:16
Bitch Gabrielle Union should be in the top 5 of couse your just a racist bitch
Tue 5 Aug 2008 at 23:36:22
hahaha try claudia lynx=)
Wed 6 Aug 2008 at 01:23:51
Wow, she is awesome! Thanks.
Wed 13 Aug 2008 at 06:43:34
I think Aisha Tyler is beautiful. How would u rate her?
Thu 14 Aug 2008 at 12:15:27
Aisha Taylor is pretty and easy on the eyes, but I would not call her beautiful.
Sat 20 Sep 2008 at 05:41:31
For all the talks and buzzes.. I sincerely agree that monica belucci is quite possibly the most beautiful woman in the world.
Even at her 40’s her beauty is such that; perfect face at all angles, perfect natural body, not mortal like beauty that even if she poses nude all day long i find her not slutty at all maybe because of her angelic face.. aura maybe… or maybe she is a goddess after all! ^_^
Thu 20 Nov 2008 at 04:03:55
To the person who is hating on Angelina, stop. She is beautiful. You must be obsessed with her or even jealous to go on message boards about her and come here and write the negative things people say about her. Who cares? For every man that doesn’t find Angelina attractive, there are many who do. Is there some reason why you were describing your features on here to us? You are obviously insecure. No secure, self-confident, truly beautiful woman will get on a message board to trash a beautiful celebrity, and then describe their own facial features. You are truly a case.
Thu 20 Nov 2008 at 04:12:21
Abagond, All of the women in your top 10 are beautiful, but I am curious about some of your choices based on your description of what you find beautiful: thick hair, high cheekbones, etc.
I assumed your top 10 would look like this in no particular order:
1. Angelina Jolie
2. Naomi Campbell
3. Monica Bellucci
4. Nia Long
5. Angela Bassett
6. Sophia Loren
7. Pam Grier
8. Catherine Zeta Jones
9. Gabrielle Union
10. Lena Horne
Thu 20 Nov 2008 at 22:13:41
Interesting list! I think nearly all of them would be seriously considered for my top 25.
Pam Grier and Lena Horne are before my time – so are Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor, but I have seen them on Turner Classic Movies.
Catherine Zeta Jones is someone I should like – I know what you are saying – but there is just something about her, something missing. Most likely it is her eyes.
What I most like in women, more than their cheekbones or hair or lips or figure, are their eyes:

Fri 5 Dec 2008 at 17:23:31
funny how allof them are just black n white… racist! u forgot aishwariya rai! search her name n see her eyes most beautiful she won miss world n miss india n is the most prettiest eva!
Sun 25 Jan 2009 at 01:02:23
Your posts are always so interesting and thought provoking. As an Italian-American gal, it’s flattering to find a place here on your list reserved for one of my shared lineage. I know we’re not mainstream beauty, but it’s refreshing to hear a guy interested by the very features which make us so different from the majority.
Sun 25 Jan 2009 at 01:05:08
PS–Where does Thandie Newton fall on your beauty meter? She’s the most beautiful woman to me, if not a tad scrawny. (She just needs some Italian friends with cooking skills to plump her up!)
Mon 26 Jan 2009 at 01:56:58
Thandie Newton is a beauty, but she would not make my top 20. Maybe top 50. I last saw her in “The Pursuit of Happyness” with Will Smith where she played a terrible, selfish wife, so that might affect my judgement of her. She is admittedly a bit thin from my point of view. Even Sophia Loren admits that Italian cooking helped to make her into a beauty.
Thu 12 Feb 2009 at 05:39:00
What about Rachel McAdams from the notebook! She is the most beautiful creature on earth ! Lots of the chicks on your list are very, very fugly! I do like elizabeth taylor though. She’s a classic beauty.
Thu 12 Feb 2009 at 06:02:05
Thandie Newton is just fine how she is and doesn’t need to eat anymore to plump up. She’s a classic beauty.
Sat 14 Feb 2009 at 17:58:59
Too many awesome drop-dead perfect girls to be able to squeeze into a top ten list. And I won’t even attempt putting them in order except I do list the all time most beautiful girl ever on the planet. My list is basically of those I want to spend some time with and make out:
Actresses: Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four), Gabrielle Union (Breakin’ All The Rules), Sanaa Lathan (Nip/Tuck), Jamie-Lynn Chung (Samurai Girl), Catherine Zeta-Jones (The Mask of Zorro).
Singers: Kelly Rowland and Beyonce Knowles (both Destiny’s Child), Ashanti, Leah Dizon (google her if you don’t know the name).
Reality Stars: Stacy Keibler (Dancing With The Stars), Angela Simmons (Daddy’s Girls), Meghan Allen (Fear Factor).
Models: Brooklyn Decker, Tori Praver and Irina Shayk (all Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition models), Grace Kim (Guitar Hero, Playboy), Hiromi Oshima (Playboy).
ALL TIME MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL ON THE PLANET EVER: Vanessa Hudgens (singer, dancer, actress from High School Musical films).
Mon 16 Feb 2009 at 10:58:53
Interesting list. Thanks!
Thu 26 Feb 2009 at 21:59:06
I love the phrase…opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one. With that said thank you for yours…..by the way check out Asian women also; without the filter, you will then come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as the most beautiful women, will find your self on a planet with a “buffet” of incredibly beautiful women. Don’t overeat!
Tue 10 Mar 2009 at 05:52:51

This list is herendous. Are you serious. Some of those women shouldn’t even be in the top 1,000. PS Check out leighten Meester
Wed 25 Mar 2009 at 19:47:04
Now I know you value the cheek bones, eyes and lips as well as figure but what do you think about Aishwarya Rai. I’m with you in that my ideal of beauty usually includes a WHR in the “thick” range (less than .67) But, Aishwarya Rai is so incrediby striking to me that she is ranked among the top of my personal all time list.
Tue 31 Mar 2009 at 18:38:54
Aishwarya Rai… who is that?
Oh, my! Yes, I saw her in Bride and Prejudice. Absolutely gorgeous!
I’m a girl but my list would probably be:
1. Sanaa Latham
2. Catherine Zeta-Jones
3. Juliet Benoche and Julia Ormond (both remind me of my mother)
4. Elizabeth Taylor
5. Aishwarya Rai (after looking at her picture again)
and maybe Angela Bassett or Robin Givens.
And, of course: my mother. At least when she was younger.
Can’t really think of many more who I think are truly beautiful. Halle Berry and Heidi Klum are pretty but not really beautiful to me.
LOL! Strange that I can’t think of 10…
Fri 15 May 2009 at 11:24:20
Lets face it european women are the nicest in the world dont be in denial about it, every guy i know says ‘well some indian women are nice, but it has to be european women cause you get a differant variety eg. blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes, blonde hair, red hair, black hair, brown hair. Indian women even try to look european not that they should but they wear blue contacts ect, Ask any asian guy they are obsessed with white women. French – Brigett Bardot, Italian – Sophie loren Elizabeth Taylor – english decent Britt Eckland – Sweden cathrine zeta – welsh, english and irish decent marylin monroe – Norwegian decent ursualla andres – .Look at the bond women. Have u seen some of those beautifull turkish who are just as nice as indian women. Some of them have natural grey eyes.
Fri 15 May 2009 at 22:16:49
I agree with Sophia Loren. I think she is hands down the most beautiful woman I have ever seen black, white, purple or green! As far as black women I think Naomi Campbell is the prettiest black woman I have ever seen. And I pick her because she looks so strikingly black african and exotic. Like someone carved her out of a single piece of mahogany.
Fri 15 May 2009 at 22:18:34
Oh, yes I can’t forget my Asian sisters. The most beautiful East asian woman I’ve ever seen is Joan Chen. I don’t know enough about Indian women, but the dark ones I’ve seen are just lovely.

Well, speaking as a guy I think black women in general are the best looking. I do not secretly like white women either nor am I obsessed with them.
Some white women are beautiful, of course, but that is true for women of any race or any country.

Megan. Fox.
Thu 4 Jun 2009 at 21:35:04
I would never see awhite website put a black chick ahead of any whites on the beauty stakes; I would never see an asian website put a black chick above one of their own..in fact no other race on this planet denigrates themselves the way you blacks denigrate your women..you are sick!! The most beautiful woman of any race is a black woman i saw on a bus in peckham..and I have seen a lot of beautiful women of all races..with me its a reflex thing.
Thu 4 Jun 2009 at 21:36:23
niggas! you never learn, do you? learn and appreciate yourselves first. Self pride you must have.

MARIA SHRIVER??? NO WAY!!
Mon 27 Jul 2009 at 19:45:45
Aishwarya Rai in my opinion has got to be the most beautiful woman in the world.She is a goddess.Those of you who know her know what I’m talking about.Trust me her face will be remembered long after she’s dead like Audrey Hepburn or Angelina Jolie.I love Aishwarya Rai.Even her name sounds like a goddess.
Fri 14 Aug 2009 at 19:50:35
the most beautiful woman a woman will ever see is the one who looks back in the mirror.
Sun 30 Aug 2009 at 12:06:32
What about Aicha Diallo (Burkina Faso), Nidise Disosa (DRC)and many other lesser known African models? I am amazed for people who don’t find Agelina attractive, they spent a lot of time talking about her. There are a lot of beautiful women in the world, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Sat 7 Nov 2009 at 16:35:20
You had 2 white women on top of the list, and you claim to be a black man who likes black women. OH wait you like white women too!!!!
IS THERE A BLACK MAN who just loves black women and black women only.
The author of this list sounds schizo and brainwashed.
Sat 7 Nov 2009 at 16:37:31
WHAT A SHAME, A BLACK MAN MAKES A BEAUTY LIST, and a white women is put on the top of beauty pedestal.
I DEFINITELY DO NOT TRUST BLACK MEN AT ALL…
Sat 7 Nov 2009 at 19:19:16
@MzMee
It’s his oponion! Get over it!
Sun 8 Nov 2009 at 06:13:12
MzMee:
When I made the list I tried to be as unracist and honest as I could. To tell you the truth, I was surprised it came out as high as half black simply because in America there are way more famous beautiful white women than black ones. The full range and beauty of black women does not make it into the mass media here.
Sun 8 Nov 2009 at 21:56:06
Vindicator its his opinion ITS MY OPINION AS WELL. But i hope you are NOT A BLACK MAN!!! Because if you are, you truly show how insensitive black men are towards black women. And what i said probably holds true FOR YOU as well!!
@ Abagond
You couldn’t find one black beauty that outshine Elizabeth Taylor. WHOM HAD PLASTIC SURGERY ON HER NOSE.
at least dorothy dangdrige was a NATURAL BLACK BEAUTY. You don’t remember what the young naomi campbell looked like!!! I have a list of SO MANY black women who outshine those two white women you listed. If you need me to compose a list i will so you won’t have any excuses.
that sophie loren, is not prettier then halle berry. And she still looks good at 43
You were NOT surprised, you made the list, its not surprising you said yourself you like white girls. So how is that a surprise you would choose their beauty over black women.
That is just how many black men think. and pretend they are “Surprised”
I just don’t think you can have a whole blog about racism and being black and brainwashed, and then sit up here and praise white beauty, your oppressor. You look like a hypocrite.
Sun 8 Nov 2009 at 21:57:26
oh by the way show your black wife and daughters this list…. i wonder what they look like and what they would think……??????
Sun 8 Nov 2009 at 23:06:02
