Over the past hundred years, the ideals of female beauty have changed countless times. Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Twiggy, Angelina Jolie-these women have become standards of style and beauty, each in their own time. But there were others besides them. Every decade boasts its most beautiful woman in the world.
41950s: Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn
No conversation about the most beautiful women in the world is complete without mentioning Marilyn. In 1953, after filming the movie “Niagara”, Monroe became one of the highest-paid Actresses in Hollywood. By this time, she and her makeup artist had come up with “Marilyn’s signature makeup”: dark arched eyebrows, pale skin, and shiny red lips. In a review of “Niagara”, journalists of the New York Times noted that although Monroe is not an ideal actress, but she is seductive, even when just walking.
The style icon Audrey Hepburn had plenty of talent. She was not only an outstanding actress, but also a ballerina, model, and singer. Audrey captivated others with her charming innocence. Critics called her a “brooding elven beauty”. And in 1954, Hepburn was declared “the embodiment of a new female ideal.”
