The most beautiful and popular girls. The most beautiful girl in the world - who is she
Blondes and brunettes, thin and plump, tall and petite - the standard of female beauty has changed at all times.
Looking at the portraits of the recognized beauties of past centuries, contemporaries feel good if they honor them with the epithet “pretty”. Or they will shrug their shoulders in bewilderment, marveling at the “tastes” and beauty standards of bygone days ...
What are they, the most beautiful women in the history of mankind? There were many beautiful women at all times. Not all of them left a mark in history, but there are so many of those whose names have become synonymous with female beauty that it is very difficult to even list them!
Every year, the most famous magazines and online publications publish their ratings of beauties. They are all different, all have different names. Well, beauty is subjective...
Keeping this in mind and that they don’t argue about tastes, let’s just “go over” through world history, remembering the most beautiful women in the world of all times and peoples, ranking not by beauty, but by era. Well, who of the beauties is worthy of the first place, let everyone decide for himself!
With all the desire to include at least the most famous in the list of the most beautiful women, such an undertaking will unfortunately remain unfeasible, there are too many beauties around, so this thematic article will definitely have a continuation))
So, let's begin….
Ancient world
NEFERTITTI
“The beauty has come” - this is how the name of the Great wife of King Amenhotep is literally translated. We can judge her appearance only by the bust found at the beginning of the last century. But legends say that Egypt has never seen such beauty. Contemporaries called her "Perfect", and her face could be seen in all the temples of Ancient Egypt.
Once upon a time, I, who did not particularly “understand” the beauty of Cleopatra, came across a small story told by the same non-connoisseur of the beauty of the queen, when in her presence the artist began to paint the familiar white bust of Cleopatra with colors.
And then the beauty appeared and played in a different perspective. Therefore, it is worth believing the words of contemporaries who claimed that the queen was a true beauty, perhaps in addition to the correct facial features, there was a luminous skin color, an unusual shade of eyes, and a snow-white smile. How do you like this modern interpretation?))
CLEOPATRA
What the last of the Ptolemies really was, we will probably never know.
Her image is “not visible” both because of the romantic veil woven by writers and directors, and because of the dirt in which Roman historians smeared her name. There are no images of her in her lifetime.
Well, let's believe Plutarch, who noted the enormous charm of the queen of Egypt and her irresistible charm, which literally crashed into the soul.
Middle Ages
QUEEN TAMARA
A wise ruler and a beautiful woman, whose name is associated with the "golden age" in the history of Georgia. 
Poets called her "smiling sun" and "slender reed", tirelessly praising her mind, charming beauty and talent as a commander. Her hands were sought by the eastern rulers and princes of Byzantium.
She fought very successfully (in the literal sense) with her ex-husband, defeating him near Tbilisi, and found happiness in her second marriage.
Eleanor of Aquitaine
She was a duchess and countess, wife of King Louis VII of France and, later, King Henry II of England, mother of 10 children, among whom were two future English monarchs. Her role in history cannot be overestimated (no wonder she was called the grandmother of medieval Europe).
... And another was just a beautiful woman, whose angelic beauty was sung by troubadours, and whose eccentric behavior drove men crazy.
AGNES SOREL
The favorite of the king, who managed to make friends with the queen, a trendsetter (it was thanks to her that diamonds became the “best friends” of women, and fashionable dresses exposed one breast) and an incomparable beauty, whose beauty was recognized even by the Pope.
Her life was bright, but short - one of the champions of morality, without thinking twice, poisoned a girl pregnant with four children with mercury.
SIMONETTA VESPUCCI
Incomparable and beautiful. The first beauty of Florence of the Renaissance and the "lady of the heart" Giuliano Medici. Botticelli painted Madonnas and Venus from her, men went crazy over her, but, oddly enough, it never occurred to any of them to be jealous of her. And women did not envy her and praised her for her meek disposition and sweet manner of communication.
… Simonetta died of consumption at the age of 23. But even in death she was beautiful...
new time
16th century
BARBARA RADZYWILL
The romantic love story and the tragic death of the 30-year-old handsome Barbara have been haunting the minds of historians, writers and artists for several centuries.
The recognized beauty and beloved wife of the Grand Duke of Lithuania and the King of Poland, Sigismund II Augustus, was called “the great whore of Lithuania” before the wedding and compared her with Helen of Troy.
And after her death, she was prepared for the role of the Black Panna - a ghost that roams the corridors of the ancient Nesvizh castle.
DIANA DE POitiers
Lady-in-waiting and mistress of King Henry II of France.
Her beauty saved the life of the rebel father (the king, like many men, could not stand the tears streaming from her beautiful eyes) and allowed her to "take over" not only Henry, but all the power in the kingdom, making her the true Queen of France.
17th century
NINON DE LANCLO
She was a courtesan and mistress of a literary salon, a writer and an educated woman who knew several languages and owned several musical instruments.
Ninon was strikingly beautiful - to a ripe old age. And at the same time - smart and ironic, freedom-loving and extravagant.
ANGELIQUE DE FONTANGES
"Charming creature" and one of the many favorites of Louis XIV.
Her fate is a clear illustration of male deceit: for only a year she bore the "title" of the official favorite. And then - a difficult birth, a dead child and a farewell gift from the king - the title of Duchess de Fontange.
Official resignation. Rejected and so recovered after giving birth, she retired to a monastery, where she died at the age of 20.
18th century
Madame Recamier
Julie Recamier. Smart and beautiful. The wife of a banker and the mistress of the salon famous throughout Paris, where not only writers, but also opponents of Napoleon's policy gathered.
She captivated with her charming beauty, made her lose her head and broke hearts. But - did not cross the border, preferring to leave their fans in the category of friends.
KITTY FISHER
What was she like, Kitty Fisher? History is silent on this.
It is only known that she was a priestess of love, that artists loved to draw her, that her beauty was mortally envious, that she was beautiful and did not know the measure in make-up. This led to her death from lead poisoning, which at that time was contained in whitewash.
19th century
LINA CAVALLIERI
She was called the first fashion model and the last "fatal woman of the Belle Epoque." Artists painted her portraits, and postcards with her image scattered around the world in millions! Films were made about her and books were written ... She was an opera singer who was applauded by the whole world.
But the reason for the success was by no means the exceptional voice of the prima donna, but her unearthly beauty. A dark-eyed brunette who broke the hearts of men and made the halls cry. A broken-hearted beauty suffering from lost love...
NATALIA GONCHAROV (PUSHKINA)
Her name is forever associated with the name of Pushkin. “The purest charm is the purest example,” the poet wrote about her. She was his love, his muse, the mother of his children.
She was directly and indirectly accused of his death ... A fragile beauty with an aspen waist. Aristocratic pallor. Gentle hands. Charming smile and expressive eyes. Classic antique beauty.
Is it any wonder that among her admirers was the emperor himself?
Beauties of the twentieth century
Beginning of the century
FAITH COLD
30 roles in 4 years. Millions of fans around the world and huge queues at the cinema (and this at a time when the First World War was raging!). And a ridiculous death at just 26 years old ...
Who would have thought that a quiet and obedient girl, a “Poltava dumpling”, as her mother called her, would be destined for the “queen of the screen” - so bright and so dramatic ...
LILY ELSI
The refined beauty of Lily evokes admiring sighs even today.
But she herself did not consider herself a beauty at all. Shy and insecure, she saw in the mirror only excessive thinness and not at all spectacular appearance. She changed only on stage.
twenties
GRETA GARBO
Cold Scandinavian beauty and piercing blue eyes. Huge talent and a halo of mystery.
One of the greatest actresses of the last century was called the "Swedish Sphinx" - for her unwillingness to give interviews, appear at the premieres of her films and sign autographs for fans. But this only fueled interest - all her films made a splash, and an intriguing look hypnotized and conquered ...
MARLENE DIETRICH
A blonde in trousers, with scarlet lipstick on her lips and an invariable cigarette.
Queen of the screen and revolutionary in fashion. Sultry woman and style icon. Rebel and muse of Remarque and Hemingway. She was smart and educated, but believed that female beauty was more important than intelligence. After all, it is much easier for men to see than to think. And they, justifying this statement, stacked at her feet in piles!
Thirties
LOVE ORLOV
Not everyone knows that the first film star of the USSR was from an old noble family. Hence the refined, “aristocratic” beauty, which even the images of the housekeeper Anyuta and or the letter bearer Dunya could not hide.
She was idolized and copied. Psychiatrists even introduced the term "Orlova's syndrome." However, the ideal was almost unattainable - a waist of 43 cm, always a straight back, slender legs in high heels - and an eternal struggle for beauty.
VIVIEN LEE
Her life was full of dizzying ups and downs. Two Oscars (one of which was for the role of Scarlett in Gone with the Wind) and devastating reviews of the play Romeo and Juliet, the roles of Cleopatra and Ophelia, passionate love that sweeps away all obstacles, and a painful divorce, the most severe work on oneself and poor health.
She was a gifted actress and a stunningly beautiful woman, and her fate in itself could be the plot of a movie.
forties
RITA HAYWORTH
The famous Hollywood actress, who became a princess in her third marriage. Not relying on nature, she slightly corrected her appearance (and this was in the 40s of the last century!).
Then for the first time she performed a striptease in front of the camera (even if it was just a high glove) - and became the sex symbol of America of her era.
BETTY BROSMER
The owner of an absolutely fantastic figure (91-45-96), she was a real sex symbol of the 40s and 50s and the highest paid model of that time.
Starting her career at the age of 13, she wore the crown of the beauty queen in various competitions more than fifty times, posed for more than 300 magazine covers and smiled invitingly from all the billboards of the country.
Fifties era
MARILYN MONROE
A sexy blonde with a vulnerable soul of a child…
A talented actress and an unhappy woman, bright and dazzling in the movies - and naive, trusting and at the same time reserved - in life. Her aura captivated everyone without exception.
She was loved by the camera and directors, and she loved life ... Perhaps that is why the official version of her suicide seems so ridiculous.
SOPHIA LOREN
The famous Italian actress celebrated her 82nd birthday. She does not hide her age. Moreover, she actively acts in commercials and leads a social life, striking everyone with her slender girlish figure, perfect hair and makeup.
She has 181 films, 12 film festival awards (including the Oscar), 2 sons and the love of millions of admirers of her beauty and talent.
sixties
AUDREY HEPBURN
It was said about her that at birth she was kissed on the cheek by God. She was not only an outstanding actress and fashion model, but also a goodwill ambassador, and her name has forever become synonymous not only with talent, but also with femininity, true beauty, generosity and charm.
Her eyes always radiated kindness and a smile, she had an angelic character and an amazing capacity for work, she gave herself to people without a trace - and became the standard of a Real Lady.
BRIGITTE BORDEAUX
In the early 50s, she made a splash when she appeared in the movies.
Then on the beach in a bikini, then gave the famous “babette” to fashionistas, became a model for the bust of Marianne, the symbol of France, and on the eve of her 40th birthday, she announced her retirement from the profession and decided to devote herself entirely to protecting animals.
seventies
CLAUDIA CARDINALE
One of the most beautiful women in the world never dreamed of becoming an actress, planning to become a teacher to teach literacy to children in Africa. But fate decreed otherwise.
Striking beauty, magical black eyes and His Majesty Chance made her a star of world cinema, a favorite actress of Luchino Visconti and Federico Fellini.
IRINA ALFEROVA
Charming cornflower blue eyes and soft feminine beauty brought the actress more trouble than joy.
Even in her youth, she was burdened by her appearance: men showed increased attention, women frankly envied. Yes, and in her career, beauty did not really help her: the role of Dasha in Constance is rather an exception to the rule. So the actress herself does not like it when her beauty is praised - she prefers that her acting abilities would be appreciated.
eighties
Childhood in a family of alcoholics, participation in a TV show and the subsequent immersion in a wild life - with clubs, endless parties and cocaine. She was able to overcome it all.
The amazing resilience of her character allowed her to achieve world fame - one of the most beautiful women on the planet became the first actress with a 10 million fee. Although his personal life was not as successful as his career ...
KIM BESSINGER
Kim's beauty blossomed only at the age of 17. But what a magnificent color!
The title of "Miss Georgia", a successful career as a model, then - no less successful - in the movies. She was a sex symbol of the 90s: she posed for Playboy, starred in the erotic melodrama 9 1/2 Weeks, and even won an Oscar for her role as a prostitute in the movie L.A. Confidential.
End of the century
A sultry Italian, a model in the past and an actress in the present, although she has crossed a half-century milestone, she still “strikes on the spot” with just one look.
Her beauty is almost perfect. The directors saw in her both Mary Magdalene, and Cleopatra, and a courtesan. She was the "face" of Dior and represented the Dolce & Gabbana brand, posed naked for gloss (even being "in an interesting position") and posed for legendary photographers.
Claudia Schiffer
Height - 180 cm, 41st leg size - as a teenager, Claudia was terribly complex and shy of her completely "non-feminine" parameters. And even an invitation to a trial photo shoot, she considered a mistake.
Well, and then there were - the cover of "Elle" (and later - Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Playboy, Vogue and other magazines), countless shows of leading fashion houses, a contract with L'Oreal and Chanel. And the great Lagerfeld, for whom she became a muse.
