Top 10 Most Beautiful Actresses of All Time
When it comes to beauty in Hollywood, it's impossible to ignore the sheer influence that certain actresses have had over the decades. Some names transcend generations, their allure shaping the standards of cinema's golden age and beyond. These actresses don't just appear on screen. They leave a lasting impression that becomes part of their legacy.Yet, the concept of beauty isn't static. What made someone the embodiment of elegance in the 1950s might differ from how we perceive beauty today. This evolution is what makes a conversation about the most beautiful actresses of all time both fascinating and endlessly debatable.
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.
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... 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.
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... 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!
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... 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.
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... 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!
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... 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.
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.
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 Her career continued with roles in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride & Prejudice,... read more
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.
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... 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.
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... 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 have a beauty like Kate Beckinsale.
The Newcomers
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... 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 and 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?
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... 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 one. 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.
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... read more 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.
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.

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... read more 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 number one on this list.
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... 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.
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's very beautiful, especially when she portrayed Storm in the movie Wolverine and the X-Men.
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... read more 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 ten 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'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!
