Top 10 Most Beautiful Actresses of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Grace Kelly Grace Patricia Kelly (November 12, 1929 – September 14, 1982) was an American actress who retired from Hollywood to become Princess of Monaco after marrying Prince Rainier III in April 1956. She died on September 14, 1982, a day after suffering a stroke while driving her car, which caused a crash... read more

Grace Kelly was flawless in every aspect of her outward appearance, the way she carried herself, her poise, and her constant state of calm in front of the public. As far as I am aware, there was absolutely no scandalous behavior in her or about her. Her beauty, her poise, and the way she carried herself all around made her my choice.

Grace Kelly screamed "class." A classic blonde beauty blessed with exquisite bone structure, flawless skin, and impeccable facial symmetry, Kelly was surreal perfection. She was also a very talented actress who made her mark on history and the hearts of all who know her story and enjoy her films.

Grace Kelly is an eternal beauty. She even captured the eyes of the Prince of Monaco.

2 Audrey Hepburn Audrey Hepburn, born Audrey Kathleen Ruston (4 May 1929 – 20 January 1993) was a British actress and humanitarian. Recognized as a film and fashion icon, Hepburn was active during Hollywood's Golden Age. She was ranked by the American Film Institute as the 3rd greatest female screen legend in American film history and was inducted into the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame... read more

I personally think she is really beautiful. She has such a pretty face and gives me a different reaction than all the other "beauties" of Hollywood. Personally, I think she's pretty underrated for her looks. Of course, they could have picked a much better picture than the one they've picked here, but she's still pretty. And for all of you who don't think so, don't worry, there are plenty of these kinds of lists where they haven't even considered her. I just think she has a very honest, sweet face.

Audrey Hepburn was absolutely beautiful and by far the most beautiful actress of all time. Furthermore, she was classy, which separates her from all the other actresses, apart from Grace Kelly, who was also a beautiful, classy actress. Audrey Hepburn's voice was divine. It's always an absolute pleasure to watch her on the silver screen in all her movies.

She was such an elegant and gracious lady, and unlike other actresses, her body didn't pave her way through. She had a tall and elegant frame, and those dove eyes could just see through you. And of course, when she wore that "trademark" black dress, many men's hearts skipped a beat or two. Really, she is the epitome of beauty and enormous talent! I always want to be like her.

3 Marilyn Monroe Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson Baker; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) was an American actress, singer and model. Decades after her unexpected death, she has remained one of Hollywood's greatest sex symbols with her eye-catching style, champagne blond hair, and breathless manner of speaking. She continues to be considered a major popular culture icon... read more

I think Marilyn was beautiful, but each to their own. What one person may find attractive, another may find ugly. Marilyn had her own distinct look, though. She owned that short blonde hairstyle and those blue eyes.

Overrated, overrated, overrated, and really overrated. There are so many others far more beautiful than her. More exotic, more naturally beautiful, and so much more graceful in their presentation.

Marilyn Monroe is the definition of beauty, flawless complexion with that 'oh my my' charming smile and last but not least, her style!

4 Elizabeth Taylor Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress, businesswoman, and humanitarian.
She began as a child actress in the early 1940s, and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s. She continued her career successfully into the 1960s, and remained a well known public figure for the rest of her life.
The... read more

She is by far the most beautiful actress on this list. She has perfect violet eyes and natural cupid's bow lips, which other actresses have to draw on with lip pencil. Liz only needs lipstick, no lip pencil. She also has such thick lashes that she did not need false eyelashes during a period when every actress used them. She also had a "real" beauty mark that she usually hides. In her younger years, her figure rivaled that of Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren. Even Alec Baldwin, in a TCM interview, called Elizabeth Taylor the most beautiful woman to grace the silver screen.

I don't understand why Elizabeth Taylor is not the first to be considered the most beautiful of all time. It is a known fact she has perfect facial features. Also, can you tell me who else but Elizabeth has violet/purple eyes? Very rare. Did you ever see Cleopatra? Oh my God, only Elizabeth Taylor could look breathtaking with the Egyptian makeup! She made the perfect Cleopatra. Despite her beauty, she was very modest and was a great lady who did charitable work for AIDS and helped other people not as fortunate.

5 Scarlett Johansson Scarlett Johansson (born November 22, 1984) is an American actress, model, and singer. She made her film debut in North.

Johansson is considered one of Hollywood's modern sex symbols, and has frequently appeared in published lists of the sexiest women in the world. As of February 2017, she is the highest-grossing actress of all time in North America, with her films making over $3.6 billion.

She... read more

Scarlett Johansson is the most beautiful woman of all time. I know a lot of people say otherwise, but it's only because they are irritated that she comes out on top of their favourites. Scarlett easily has the BEST bone structure with her chiseled jaw and high cheekbones. Not to mention her well-proportioned lips and captivating eyes.

Not eye-catching? How is she not eye-catching! Nice excuse, but it's not fooling me. Look at her body! Look at her hair! Look at her eyes! Look at her lips! Listen to her voice!

People calling her overrated have to be kidding themselves. Scarlett Johansson has perfect bone structure (those cheekbones and that jawline!), mesmerizing eyes, beautiful lips, and warm skin. She is, simply speaking, the most beautiful woman to have ever lived.

6 Angelina Jolie Angelina Jolie is an American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards. She has also been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress.

Jolie's starring role as the video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider established her as a leading Hollywood actress. She continued her successful action-star... read more

She is the most beautiful actress living at the moment. She is a truly beautiful woman who helps people and is beautiful inside and out.

The most beautiful actress alive today. She has an unusual beauty and doesn't look like just the average Hollywood pretty face.

Doesn't come any more beautiful or graceful than Angelina. Love her.

7 Michelle Pfeiffer Michelle Marie Pfeiffer is an American actress and producer. One of the most popular actresses of the 1980s and 1990s, she has received international acclaim and many accolades for her work in both comedic and dramatic films.

She blew me away in Dark Shadows. She is still so beautiful. But she had my heart as Catwoman. Ah, that outfit.

I admire her independent nature, but imagine if she existed in the studio system? She would have been the biggest star of them all.

Incomparable in everything. Looks, brains, kindness, talent. She is the best there is.

8 Keira Knightley Keira Christina Knightley is an English actress. She began acting as a child on television and made her film debut in 1995. She had a supporting role as Sabé in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and her first significant role came in the psychological horror film The Hole.

She is the prettiest woman I have ever seen in my entire life.

I don't know where to start. Any Elizabeth she portrays is amazing. I can't stop watching her movies.

Keira Knightley is a really nice actress but also really beautiful.

9 Monica Bellucci Monica Anna Maria Bellucci (born 30 September 1964) is an Italian actress and fashion model. Bellucci began her career as a model and made a transition to Italian films. She played the role of Persephone in the 2003 science-fiction films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, Mary Magdalene in the 2004 biblical drama The Passion of the Christ, Malèna Scordia in the 2000 film Malèna and... read more

The most classically beautiful woman on the list, and maybe ever, especially in her 40s. She would have been a beauty in Rome 2,000 years ago, just like today. Perfect body with real curves too.

Truly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen (Opinion). She actually makes my heart beat faster just looking at her!

Love her.

Beautiful and a great role model for women not to starve themselves and to show you can be beautiful without being a size 0.

10 Kate Beckinsale Kathrin Romary "Kate" Beckinsale (born 26 July 1973) is a British actress. After some minor television roles, she made her film debut in Much Ado About Nothing (1993) while still a student at the University of Oxford. She then appeared in British costume dramas such as Prince of Jutland (1994), Cold Comfort Farm (1995), Emma (1996), and The Golden Bowl (2000), in addition to various stage and radio... read more

What do you mean, personality, charm, and approachability are lacking? She's always nice towards her fans, taking pictures, signing autographs, and talking to them. Just look at YouTube "Kate Beckinsale full panel / fanx2016". I've never seen a nicer celebrity than her. If you mean by approaching, trying to kiss her or ring the doorbell of her home to come in, it's obvious that she isn't. She's one of the most beautiful and nicest actresses of all time.

The most beautiful girl in the world, and I heard that she is recently single again because she divorced her cheating husband. What an idiot if you ask me. I mean, cheating when you got a beauty like Kate Beckinsale.

VOTE FOR HER! She's number one material. Better looking than Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Monica Bellucci, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kathie Evancho, Rhamba (Who the hell is she?), Hedy Lamarr. And we're talking about actresses here, so she should be up without a doubt on this list. One of the most talented actresses in the world. THANKS!

The Contenders
11 Hedy Lamarr Hedy Lamarr, born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler (9 November 1914 – 19 January 2000) was an Austrian-American film actress and inventor. Often called “The Most Beautiful Woman in Films”, Hedy Lamarr’s beauty and screen presence made her one of the most popular actresses of her day.

At the beginning of World War II, Lamarr and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied... read more

Lamarr will ALWAYS be my favorite screen beauty. What is Liz Taylor doing at the top of this list?! All she had was a pair of eyeballs. Yes, apparently they were a rare/freakish violet color, but that alone doesn't make you an all-around beauty. Vivian Leigh should also be highly ranked, in my opinion.

Subjective lists like this are often so bizarre to me. I suppose we all feel that way. You wonder how humans can have such differing opinions. And each of us thinks we're correct and the other guy is a jerk, right?

It's been said that one of the great tragedies in the history of Hollywood is that Hedy Lamarr wasn't filmed in color until she was 36, appearing as Delilah in Samson and Delilah. She had the most spectacular eyes, skin, coloration, and perfect features. She had a distinct accent and was not a great actress either, but she was just breathtaking to look at. Google her images, and you will see how exquisite she was, even if the pictures are just in black and white. She doesn't have the hype as some that are shown higher on this list, but for pure beauty, she should be number one.

12 Sophia Loren Sophia Loren is an Italian former film actress and singer. Encouraged to enroll in acting lessons after entering a beauty pageant, Loren began her film career in 1950 at age 15. She appeared in several bit parts and minor roles in the early part of the decade, until her five-picture contract with Paramount in 1956 launched her international career... read more

I think Sophia is beautiful inside and out. I saw her movie "More Than a Miracle" and was amazed at how beautiful she is. Even if you dressed her in a potato sack, her beauty would still shine through!

I always thought she was number 1. When I was a kid back in the early '50s, she was my heartthrob and still is. I told my wife I would never leave her for another woman unless Sophia wanted me.

As a young actress, she had a magical beauty and is still stunning at 80 plus! A wonderful actress too.

13 Jennifer Lawrence Jennifer Shrader Lawrence is an American actress. Lawrence began her career in television, playing her first major role as a main cast member on the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show.

11th!? She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! Come on, she should be higher, if not first.

Why aren't people voting for her? She is gorgeous! Those angelic blue eyes, cute lips, plus she is a really good actress.

She isn't ugly or overrated! She's beautiful and is a very talented actress.

14 Catherine Zeta-Jones Catherine Zeta-Jones is a Welsh actress. Born and raised in Swansea, Zeta-Jones aspired to be an actress from a young age.

I think Catherine Zeta-Jones is stunning! How can people say she doesn't deserve to be on this list? She's a beauty. Her beauty may not be 100% natural, but most celebrities aren't completely natural. They've all had nips and tucks at some point. I think she has a lovely figure as well. It's nice to see that most of the women on this list are women with full figures, instead of women who starve themselves until they become anorexic twigs.

She has the most perfect-looking face I've seen.

Her beauty is unreal.

Her beauty is plain and simple but damn, this woman is sexy.

15 Emma Watson Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is a British actress, model, and activist. Born in Paris and brought up in Oxfordshire, Watson attended the Dragon School as a child and trained as an actress at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts.

She is the most beautiful actress in my opinion. I think she started to be pretty since Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In the Yule Ball scene, she was absolutely stunning. Since then, as Hermione, she was so beautiful. Then, in her recent movie Little Women, she was still so beautiful. I think that she has a natural beauty.

I vote for Emma because she is pretty, and unlike other actresses that got surgery, she didn't. She has natural beauty! She got the role of Belle in Beauty and the Beast and the role of Hermione. She also played Meg in Little Women, and Meg is the prettiest one. So, she is super pretty and has a beautiful voice. In my opinion, she should be the number one most beautiful actress. So, sorry Emma Watson haters, she is super pretty, has a beautiful voice, natural beauty, hasn't had surgery, and she played Belle in Beauty and the Beast. She should be #1 on this list.

16 Margot Robbie Margot Elise Robbie is an Australian actress. Robbie started her career by appearing in Australian independent films in the late 2000s. She got her big break in 2013 with The Wolf of Wall Street, where she was acclaimed for her performance, and being hailed "the hottest woman I've seen in a while" by many.

Maybe the most beautiful of our young stars.

One of the most radiant beauties on this planet!

17 Ava Gardner Ava Lavinia Gardner (December 24, 1922 – January 25, 1990) was an American actress and singer. The American Film Institute ranked her as the 25th greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema . Her third marriage was to singer and actor Frank Sinatra, from 1951 to 1957. She would later say in her autobiography that he was the love of her life. Sinatra left his wife, Nancy, for Gardner and their... read more

Ava Gardner's (gorgeous) face combines Liz Taylor's wide-cheeked femininity, Vivien Leigh's cat-eye seduction, and Audrey Hepburn's chiseled uniqueness with full lips and a delicate cleft chin to boot! Plus, she was leggy and buxom. Of course, she belongs in the top 10!

Even at a very old age, she was very beautiful. Watch "Cassandra Crossing," and you will see. I hardly can believe people put Kate Beckinsale in a higher ranking. People mix up being sympathetic with beauty. Beauty requires charisma and killing eye looks with oval features.

Perfect bone structure, perfect skin, perfect eyes, perfect lips, perfect hair, perfect body, perfect everything. Never had any work done. A true Venus rising from the sea. My absolute favorite movie goddess.

18 Halle Berry Halle Maria Berry is an American actress. Berry won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the romantic drama Monster's Ball. As of 2018, she is the only black woman to have won the award.

Truly a beauty and should be in the top ten. She is one of the few actresses I would like to meet because she is awesome, very talented, and my favorite female actor.

She's very beautiful, especially when she portrayed Storm in the movie Wolverine and the X-Men.

19 Gene Tierney Gene Eliza Tierney (November 19, 1920 – November 6, 1991) was an American film and stage actress. Acclaimed as a great beauty, she became established as a leading lady. Tierney was best known for her portrayal of the title character in the film Laura (1944), and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Ellen Berent Harland in Leave Her to Heaven (1945).

Ridiculously attractive. Compelling to watch her in her heyday movies. I have a few saved on my DVR, but I never delete them. Who made this list? Gene Tierney should easily place in the top 10 of any all-time beauty list.

Gene Tierney ranked at number 40? Hugely underrated! Ms. Tierney's classic features were absolutely perfect, not to mention her lustrous hair and her lovely figure. A complete goddess. In my opinion, she's [arguably] the most beautiful woman ever to walk the Earth. Many of those listed above her are back-benchers when compared to Gene Tierney.

She was gorgeous. She should be much, much higher on this list. I agree that she and Hedy Lamarr were the most beautiful actresses of all time.

20 Emma Stone Emily Jean "Emma" Stone (born November 6, 1988) is an American actress. She is the recipient of various accolades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and a Golden Globe Award. In 2017, she was the world's highest-paid actress and named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world... read more

The perfect woman for me! Beautiful, funny, cute, smart, sexy! Simply perfection! And her eyes... The most beautiful I've ever seen!

She looks just as beautiful without makeup.

21 Natalie Portman Natalie Portman is an actress, film producer and film director with dual American and Israeli citizenship. Portman is best known for her roles as Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and Nina Sayers in Black Swan. She won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, among other accolades, for her performance in the latter.

I knew it when I saw her in the movie "The Professional," that she'd grow up to be a great beauty. Beauty and brains, Natalie is the complete package.

The first time I saw her, I knew she was a special actress. She has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Natalie is perfection.

Natalie Portman is so pretty! Her eyes are beautiful, and she looks amazing without makeup too! So, she is naturally beautiful.

22 Megan Fox Megan Denise Fox is an American actress and model. She began her acting career in 2001, with several minor television and film roles, and played a regular role on the Hope & Faith television sitcom.

She's the most stunning woman. She has the best dark, long hair, most beautiful light eyes, and a great sculpture. She's the most perfect-looking woman. Her personality is amazing. She's very honest and loyal. No one can reach up to her.

She has beautiful eyes. Look at her eye color. It's the perfect shade of light blue!

She is stunning. So, so beautiful. She is not the fake blond, curly-haired doll, which is the thing I like most about her.

23 Rebecca Ferguson Rebecca Louisa Ferguson Sundström (born 19 October 1983) is a Swedish actress.

She came to international prominence with her portrayal of Elizabeth Woodville in the British television miniseries The White Queen (2013), for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film.

She achieved fame during the 1940s as one of the era's top stars, appearing in a total of 61 films over 37 years. The press coined the term "love goddess" to describe Hayworth after she had become the most glamorous screen idol of the 1940s. She was the top pin-up girl for GIs during... read more

Wow, I cannot believe Rita Hayworth is only 18! She was stunning! She was classy and beautiful. She should be higher than this.

Classic beauty with the type of sexiness that was tastefully pushed to a nice limit.

She was a stunning redhead. She epitomized Hollywood glamour.
