Final Thoughts

As we said earlier, this list is very subjective and we understand it misses some of the women that you find extremely beautiful. These women are not only genetically gifted, but they work very hard on their personal health and grooming to look this much attractive. Everyone should invest themselves into healthy regimes, if you are overweight then try hitting a gym and wear nice in fashion clothing and have some grooming routines.

Please feel free to let us know of your list in the comment sections. Also, please remain civil in comments.

      • How can yo say that
        178cm
        Blue eyes
        Red lips
        Rosy cheeks
        Blonde hair you are definitely blind

        • I see a lot of anti white talk on these threads!!! Women of northern European descent are very beautiful and are women of other races & ethnicities!!!

      • Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What is the instrument used to measure this beauty?

        • The true beauty is of the soul, and Taylor Swift has one. I for one hope to see it emerge one day. More people listen to her songs than Mozart's and if that is not a reflection of a beautiful soul, what is?

      • Omg, she is beautiful and how can you say she's not? people like you need to look within yourself and get to the root of your own self needs because Taylor Swift is not some ugly girl that is a ordinary chick. she's talented sweet smart beautiful hard worker, loving, giving? Caring she was born with a gift from God, so she knows how special she is so next time you want to put down God's children look in the mirror and think about how lowdown you are to put a good person down, that you have no reason to do in the first place I'll pray for you that you get some kinda love in your heart for beautiful decent people that are what you wish you were.

        • Calm down, sweetie, for crying out loud. That person you are attacking is also a Children of God. So, as an advice, I would tell you to go pray in your corner and let people alone.

        • Thank you thank you thank you!! I was waiting for someone to say this! Taylor Swift is amazing. And even if she wasnt drop dead gorgeous-which she is-you shouldnt say crappy things like that about beautiful people. Thank you.

    • Well according to there piles which are all celebrities of some sort but come boy they are all very beautiful but i think there are much pretty ladies in our own neighbor hoods that aren't recognized. God bless the not famous.

    • Everyone is beautiful, you just have to know where to find the beauty. PLEASE, if you don’t have anything nice to post just don’t post at all.

    • Everyone is beautiful, they should be able to find someone to love and appreciate them. Beauty is skin deep.

    • Same bro I think there i no beautiful person. probably the most beautiful person in the world is someone you are married too, or someone that you love and you date with. So stop looking at these pages and go out there and find a mate you love.

    • "I think there is no beautiful women in the world"?? "is no"? Ya mean "are no", right? Why aren't there any? Are you misogynistic? The "list" is only that - a stupid list of a subject that is totally subjective - - it's akin to trying to list the best sounding speakers - you can't, simply 'cuz it's all based on each person's OPINION. I know you're reply was four years ago, but it still applies. What a waste of time. We all know Salma Hayak (sp?) should be listed, as well as the stunning J'lo. We all know that, right? See what I mean?

  • Um... there are only 2 women who are not white on this list... and no African women who surely are some of the most beautiful in the world.

      • Yes it does matter , the most beautiful women in the world are from Ethiopia , Brazil & the U.S , have u felt a black woman’s skin & how their skin glows in the sun, look how beautiful & full their lips are, so many white women are getting lip & but injections fake tan etc....black women are so lovely at times they can be breath taking.

    • We all prefer women in all colors. Sorry, that's is just the way it is. We all have to live with what talents we have. And the older I get, the more I realize that beauty fades. But we are wise if we love other people and forgive them for their offenses. -Truly, this makes real beauty that shines in your face.

      • Deepika Is the best as well as aishwarya.
        It is not necessary that only white are beautiful it is about their creativity and diversity.

      • You mean YOU PREFER WHITE WOMEN. Please don't speak for all men. There are many black women 100xs prettier than these women. Thank you very much.

        • I respect the comment and I agree, But Scarlett Johansson, She's up there no matter what the preference. Also the only one from the MCU.

      • Mate that is not the case, not everyone prefers white women no, that’s what you prefer and only like my husband is white and he sought after me so don’t push your beliefs on the rest of the world

      • Not all of us. I agree. This is some unfair things - I mean, what about that one lady who played Nakia in Black Panther? She was awesome. why isn't she on the list?

      • You are so right. Once Bridget Bardot was considered the world's greatest beauty. She did not age well. Actually she is frightened to look at.

    • It's show business and there has been AAW. On here before .. imo. Half of them are not qualified to be on here any how . Like the last 5 of them.
      But this does not have to turn in to a race thing .. grow up .. I'm sure these women were voted for any how so if you don't like it vote next time.

    • Deepika Padukon and Aishwarya Rai are indians, there are south africans too though not black...

      • You need to go put your glasses on dude.Almost every woman on the list is from a differrnt part of the world.Smh.

    • WRONG! There are 3 Asian women in here (India is part of Asia) and 1 black also. So several on this list are not white. Indians are not white BTW.

  • IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOUR MAGAZINE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND / RECOGNIZE THE BEAUTY OF ALL ETHNICITIES. THIS IS SO SAD, SOOOOOOO SAD

    • If you have any suggestions to make please feel free to let us know of some of the prettiest girls. We already have included "Indian" "American" and some other nationalities, but we are open to add other ethnicities as well.

      • Ok so American, erm, what is that exactly? I'm British, so are u assuming I'm Caucasian? Face it whoever made this list just done a quick google search and picked out a bunch of random females that they personally found aesthetically pleasing and your magazine paid them (probably him) for there trouble. These kind of lists are all bull shit, at least the likes of FHM are voted for by the public are have a MUCH broader, and imo more accurate list. Clearly whomever devised this list on while on there lunch break has a thing for skinny white chicks.

      • Someone might say that it iss sad east Asian women were not on the list. other sad hearts from blm may miss African american women there. other people may miss Muslim, hijab-wearing women. politically correct liberals may require you to add transgender women on your list...
        You don't need to ask for suggestion from complaining so sad people. It is your web so you decide who is on the list. CHERLL can create their own list of colour so she/he doesn't need to feel so sad..
        greetings from central/eastern Europe, where men are still men and women are still women (and beautiful)

        • 1. That’s a lie if I’ve ever heard one. Yes, I’ve seen some very beautiful black women and I’ll admit, I’m a little jealous of them sometimes because I myself do not believe I’m all that beautiful compared to conventional standards (tan, gorgeous, sporty, etc) I don’t go calling them n***** then go get surgery to look like them. You forget some black women bleach their skin to look white.

          2. I do not tan my skin because I want to look beautiful. I do it because I have nothing else to do while laying outside in the pool in the dead of summer. Some of us want a fan because we think it will make men like us more.

          3. Most of us do not talk about fair skin anyway. I’m fair skinned myself (though not extremely pale, but my skin is sensitive to sunlight). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common skin cancer among African Americans and Asian Indians. That’s only one type. The average annual melanoma rate among Caucasians is about 22 cases per 100,000 people. In comparison, African Americans have an incidence of one case per 100,000 people. All of us are susceptible to skin cancer cause we go outside. At least those of us that don’t live underground for our entire lives.

          4. Black women don’t always have better shapes. You clearly are blind because I’ve seen white girls, Asian girls, etc. with better curves and ‘more beautiful’ features than some black women. We all strive for better features because it makes us feel better about ourselves because ignorant men like you think all women need curvaceous bodies and drop dead gorgeous looks. Then you criticize us for not being pretty enough, not skinny enough, not curvy enough, etc. you judge a woman’s beauty based on her looks. Sweetie, that’s not the way it works. A truly beautiful woman if one who is beautiful on the inside.

          5. White women aren’t always hating on black women. I’ve had good friends that are black and I’ve never said a bad word about them in my life. Yes, I complain about some cause they walk around acting and looking trashy but most are teens. That’s what a lot (notice that phrase ‘a lot’) of teen’s do. I feel like they do that on purpose to get on people’s nerves. Make no mistake though, I complain just as bad, if not worse, about white women too. I’ve seen trashy white girls acting that like and worse too. I see it every day. So don’t you dare group us all in that category.

          6. The maker of this list doesn’t necessarily hate black women. Never said that.

          7. Not all of us white women are fake, trashy, plastic Barbie dolls that get surgery.

          8. You’re a Christian, right? Or you worship some type of God. Think of this. James 4:11-12 “Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?” Exactly. Who are you to judge others? No one can. So be quiet. All of us our beautiful and no race is better than another because we are all God’s children and he made us all equal.

          9. Please go back to school. Learn how to use proper grammar and spelling.

          You must be one of those people who think they’re all that and a bag of Diamonds from your comments. People who don’t know God so know how to behave. Some just don’t do it. Also, that little snippet about punishments and hell? Are you saying they’d go to hell? You can’t decide that. You are God. Only God decides who goes to hell or not.

          So with all due respect, please be quiet.

          Thank you for making me in a bad mood.

      • Black women is the most beautiful hands down. They have better shapes…more beautiful features..when white women are getting surgery to look like them…Trying to get fuller lips, hips and tanning your skin. What that tell you. Accept the facts. Black women are the most beautiful women in the world and other women are color are also beautiful…and white people always want to talk about fair skin. When our skin can not even stand against the sun without getting skin cancer. You can call me n***** lover or whatever you want. It’s the truth. If you didn’t despise black people so much why are you always hating on them and trying to call them the n word then you want to make yourself look like them. Geez God made every race better in their on way

        • That’s not fair and there is no race, humans are humans the “race” is equal so no you can’t just say black women are more beautiful. Maybe that’s what you think but it’s not genuinely true and btw to me god does not exist but that’s another question and you can believe in him if you want to.

          • U think god doesn't exist!? Look God created this universe and plus us! If u think god isn't real then I bet you that u don't well behave because people who believe in god know what's right to do and what punishment they get for it so there is also hell and heaven so if u think that way then u might change your opinion.

        • Agree! My parents are black and beautiful. I feel offended that White peoples are considered the best.

          • I don't see black people who are super beautiful 😍😍😍😍they need to do more research
            They should not consider skin colour as beauty
            There's black beauty 😍

          • Retreat to your "safe space" then. It's a fact that most successful black men are with white women. Why? Because black women probably need to work up on their dress, actions, etc.

        • Dear ethan i read your statement about how you said black women are the most beautiful women in the world that's a lie.if black women are so damm beautiful .why do they bleach there skin to look like a white women. because they know the world sees white women as the most people on the plant. like other race of women who is not black like halle berry, megan markle.and they are not black with one of there parents are white

          • Well why do SOME white women get tans? Why do SOME black women or middle eastern women bleach their skin? Why do some asian women put white makeup on their face?

            To create a list of who is the most beautiful is in itself unfair. Nobody can decide who is more beautiful than the last because it is all subjective. I am astounded to even read some of these comments stating that one race looks better than another. It is purely opinion based. What kind of person has the right to say who is beautiful and who is not?

            Simply put, beauty is a form of attraction. A man (I am speaking in psychology terms so Keyboard warriors please hold your horses) is attracted to a woman because his basic instincts tell him that the girl should be able to reproduce with him and carry on the best traits. This is fact. The attraction is bred from Nature as well as Nurture. You are raised by your parents/caregiver or whatever to develop preferences based on your location (whether it be a strong woman to help the man on the farm or a smart woman to bring in the most income). Then there is nature which is more basic and says find a woman who can produce the most children and carry on the best traits.

            So how about everyone keep quiet and just accept everyone else's opinion without saying they are wrong. Because with that exact mindset you are also wrong.

      • Pretty clear that you are looking for glamour and not beauty...I am surprised that you did not truly represent the concept of beauty and what it represents. These lists are nothing more than what you might see in a tabloid magazine while standing in a cashier's line at a market.

        • This article is about who has beautiful features or body, not having a beautiful heart. Of course, having a beautiful heart matters immensely if you want to be beautiful, but that is not what we came here for. If we had come to see who are the kindest people in the world, and then we would instead see beautiful or handsome men, then yeah, I would agree with you. But, that is not the point of this article. I think that all of these women. And by saying what you said, you offended the writer of this article. This person has feelings too!

      • Ummmmmmm white women are not the only type of beautiful women. And the ones that you picked as beautiful are laughable. I've seen stunning black women just walking down the street 100xs as beautiful as these women

      • If this result is on the basis of public vote then mostly Asian women must be in the list and Asian's vote should matter just because they are Hollywood actress should not dominate in this survey .even in Indian subcontinent women are more beautiful than white women .

    • Black women don’t age as much as white women as white women get older, their skin looks awful, they look older than what they are, the skin on black women looks silky & smooth at any age, to me they are also the best lovers too.

  • WHAT ABOUT HANDSOME MEN? WE TAKE MUCH OF OUR TIME TO PRAISE WOMEN AS THOUGH THEY ARE SUPERIO TO THEIR MEN COUNTERPARTS.

  • These lists are proof positive that all the propaganda in the world will not be enough to make people truly believe that African women are as pleasant looking as those with fairer skin. Why should we all have to tip toe around this truth?

    It's like trying to convince people that pitbulls are equally as cute as Yorkshire Terriers. It's not true, so why are you going to throw a fit when someone says so? Of course one can point out one or two instances where a pit bull is exceptionally cute looking, but

    A) it still doesn't stand up to the exceptional Yorkshires and
    B) It certainly does not equate to pitbulls and yorkshires being equally cute breeds.

    That is life. Maybe it's time to start coming to terms with reality, rather than pressing people into obediently telling you that the sky is green? Just a thought.

    • What are you talking about? So you are saying black people are not pretty enough? Right....um we have plenty of unattractive white people in this world too. Just because this bias list does not have black women on it doesn't mean that there aren't lists that actually showcase beautiful black women.

    • We develop our concept of Beauty instinctually and through what we are taught. Instincts tell us facial symmetry and hip to waist ratios and healthy skin and teeth and youth and etc makes someone physically beautiful. Women that have those features that we are instinctually attracted to are presented to us constantly in our media. But they are presented predominantly in combination with European features like blue eyes and straight hair and and thin noses and fair skin. Many times a day, from birth. So we associate beauty with European features. By the time we are adults we have a European standard of beauty in combination with the influence of women that we come in contact with in real life.

    • I am not sure what you mean but, there are the same amount of beautiful black women as there are oriental and Latina women, also Arab and let us not forget the trully beautiful woman , the mixed race, my Lord, they really are some of the best to look at, for example, black Vietnamese or Russian American, Guatemalan with Puerto Rican, anyways the list goes on and on those Pacific islanders are also up there and Hawaiian mixed race and so on. Ok the list has beautiful woman on it but you seem to be kissing ads to the rich, how about random women, our neighborhood is full of pretty young ladies.
      So you have a list of successful women, I could of did that. Go to work in the field, the planet is full of not known talent and beauty. The family members of rich people, that is just too easy to produce. All countries have beauty in them. America is a melting pot yet the list kind of looks vanilla to me. I am Dutch Puerto Rican, look white but my accent is there. I use to be good looking in my younger years, now at 51, well I am old but still represent. Happy New Year to you and all who participated in the list.
      Now make a new list of unknown women that are poor and beautiful, beauty had no money sign next to it.

    • Beauty comes not from outside. I know many white people who are uglier than black women. You describe beauty is with white skin, big eyes, and blonde hair, perhaps. WOW! I can't believe someone with such thought process still exists today. Yes, sky is not green and that's the fact. Beauty is relative. You can't compare them both together.

    • These lists are not propaganda, they only convey the personal taste of whoever made them. And whoever made this particular one (and we're left in the dark about the identity) is no authority in this or any other matter. They don't represent any ethnic, national, political, gender or anything else you can think of group! I don't agree with any of the choices from this list as being a top ten beauty. But I'm not gonna get caught in arguing about this stupid stuff.

      Why does any of you believe this list is important enough to get angry or contentious about its choices???
      IT'S A TOTALLY IRRELEVANT "TOP" LIST !!!!!

    • Africans can have a strikingly beautiful, proportioned face and body. There are really beautiful women every where. But to be honest for some reason africans don't look that great. White women face doesn't seem always that fantastic but the look can be one of the best, even the not unusual ones have something really pretty though. Mongoloid have flat noses, not much of a variety of a eye so not sure if the beautiful look they give is one of the best or not-they look mostly like beautiful but not classic modern beauty, especially east asians. Never seen a classic sort of south east beauty except a kid who seemed to be with south east asian adults but don't know them. Asian who are from middle-east, india seem to be the best overall in striking look though even their features aren't that great and they don't look as good or ethereal as white women but at times you think they look better than white women. Even the black, dark brown are really good looking in india, middle east such as having striking cheekbones or triple eyelids. But I could be biased by looking at the striking part of a women-like eyes, hair or look. I'm in england, around london and they are very attractive women from all parts of the world. This is how I would have judged then but now I find all types of women beautiful. Not sure if you should listen to what I say cuz I'm just a below average/average douchebag.

  • Deepika Padukone is first!! I'm so happy for her, she's ruling the world ❤ Most beautiful woman she is

    • excuse me u Indians are not beautiful u all r doing surgeries but we Pakistanis are most beautiful and we have natural beauty

      • Both the Indian women are beautiful either in makeup or without makeup I agree that Pakistanis art beautiful whole India agree with this but you can't change the truth

      • On which earth r u living? Almost 80 percent of the Indian women are blessed with natural huge eyes with natural thick lashes and have smaller nose than Arab girls ok.. And have natural thick lips and most of them possess round face OK... Indian girls are natural beauties, most of the middle class girls I have met were looking lot more prettier than Bollywood actresses without a touch of makeup lol.. well I know clearly that most of the western girls are heavily relied on makeup... But Indian girls only apply kohl and lip balm..

  • Song Ji Hyo is a south korean actress and model, she is one of the most beautiful asian actresses she should definitly be on the list
