"However, there was one picture in this magazine where her beauty just shown. It was an outdoor shot of her and her husband. She was older at the time it was taken and she was dressed very simply and her hair (which she used to have in very elaborate "dos" during some of her formal Princess events) was very simple." I know that photo, and you're right, she looked stunning, and it's impossible to believe she's about 51, she practically looks the same as she did when she married. She also seemed to look thinner than she usually did in her later years, so I don't know if her weight fluctuated up and down or if that was just the perfect angle. I also agree that she sported some really dowdy hairdos in her later years. I remember one hideous coiff where she had a braid that kind of wrapped up and around her head; she looked like an elderly extra from Sound of Music.

Wouldn't Princess Diana be considered beautiful? Her features were unusual, and she didn't look like anyone else.

I think the distinction should be made between beautiful and attractive. Beautiful is someone with classic features (Jacklyn Smith) and attractive being someone who had odd features but is still appealing (Julie Roberts). Also, handsome applies to men better than beautiful.

"For the person who said blondes are not beautiful, apparently somehow in your lifetime you have missed ever laying eyes on Catherine Deneuve, who many people (including myself) consider one, if not THE, most beautiful actress ever." Deneuve is a natural brunette "For all those who doubt blondes can be beautiful: Julie Christie." Also a natural brunette

I agree with r127 that Kate Winslet is beautiful, but the rest? No. Speaking of stars from Little Children, I don't know about being completely beautiful, but Patrick Wilson has a beautiful ass. When they were younger: Harry Connick Jr.--pretty, Antonio Sabato Jr.--beautiful Oh, and since I linked a Janet Jackson video, I'd say Janet is pretty and Djimon is rather beautiful (or maybe it's the video that makes him so).

Looking at all these examples of what ppl consider beautiful vs. pretty, I would have to agree that bone structure and certain, striking features elevates a person from being merely pretty to a true beauty. All of those mentioning the INSIDES of a person as making them beautiful, while it may be true for some, there are plenty of beautiful ppl out there with black hearts. I can't freaking believe this thread has made it to page 5 and NO ONE has mentioned Isabella Rossellini (although, points for her mother). Unbelievably beautiful. I agree about Sela Ward and Pfieffer, too. Since so many mentions have been centered around actors who we mainly see through photographs, I would also remind you that often it's not until you are face to face with that person, in the flesh, that you can see how truly beautiful they are, and as someone brought up, how they can affect a room full of strangers. It's the whole package, and that includes watching them move. For me, it's the eyes. A real beauty has amazing eyes.

Kate Winslet is very attractive but not beautiful. Jennifer Connelly is naturally beautiful even without make up and she never had a nose job. Her nose has a distinctive shape even in her heavier days. Jennifer Aniston is not beautiful. In fact she's homely. We're not talkng about hair, we're talking about facial features. Patrick Wilosn is striking but not beautiful. Leeza Gibbons, also homely but has been made attraactive like Anniston. Linda Darnell was beautiful. Julie Christie cute/pretty. Catherine Deneuve beautiful. Diane Lane pretty. Sharon Tate beautiful. Halle Berry with short hair beautiful. Halle Berry with long hair pretty. Or so it seems.

Beautiful I think is a lot more polarising. Generally, people I consider pretty, are universally accepted as such, and I find that isn't so with beauties. Nicole Kidman is beautiful to me, at least she's getting there again (see link). She stands out in a room. Whereas, I think Catherine Zeta Jone is just pretty. Another example would be: Young Gwyneth Paltrow--pretty, her mum--beautiful.

Let's not forget Greta Garbo, if we are talking about bone structure and eyes. Dolores del Rio was beautiful, too. But the fairest of them all is Elizabeth Taylor between the ages of 17 to 23. (From "A Place in the Sun" to GIANT) Those who saw her at that time agree she was breathtaking, you could not get your eyes off her. Also, in person she was more beautiful than in photographs because pictures didn't capture the dramatic color of her eyes, the sooty thick eyelashes and the amazing skin. And, there wasn't much difference at this time between her candid/paparrazi shots and her glamour studio photos.

You are forgetting Uma Thurman, who is a timeless beauty who happens to be blonde. Pfeffer and Thurman are as beautiful as any brunette out there, ask any straight guy. There are plenty of gorgeous blondes who remain gorgeous. It's just that there are more brunettes in general, so we focus on them. also beautiful - Christie Brinkley - if you saw her on the street you would be amazed

Uma Thurman was beautiful when she was younger. After she hit her 30's she started looking very rough and the distinctive features which made her beautiful then now make her ugly. Beautiful - a young Liz Taylor, teenager Brooke Shields, teenager Olivia Hussey and her partner Leonard Whiting, Paul Newman well into his 602, a young Robert Redford, Cary Grant, a young Rob Lowe, Rock Hudson, Vivien Leigh, Catherine Zeta Jones circa The Mask Of Zorro, Ava Gardner, Hedy Lamarr abd Rita Hayworth, the fairest of them all.

I am a bit surprised not to see Audrey Hepburn mentioned more often. To me she was the epitome of womanly grace and beauty. Sorry to sound trite,but it came from within as well as from her physical appearance. Barbara Stanwyck is an example of someone who started out attractive and grew to be beautiful as she aged.

Because Audrey, from a strictly physical POV, wasn't as beautiful as the others mentioned here. She did have grace, elegance and style that went on forever. Probably the most charismatic actress ever to appear in films. So many other beauties appear flat on film compared her. I had a forgetten about Maria Feliz and, yes, Uma Thurman was impossibly beautiful in her early twenties. Here's another blonde beauty - Cybill Shepard, eary 70s.

Zhang Ziyi - pretty (very) Maggie Cheung - beautiful Gong Li - man I agree with those who said that Natalie Portman went from beautiful to pretty. In "The Professional" (which btw was kind of creepy) she was a very beautiful little girl. Now, still very pretty but not the same as before. Kind of like Brooke Shields.
