The 1950s — Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn

Marilyn Monroe is always brought up when people talk about the most beautiful women in the world. After making the movie Niagara in 1953, Monroe became one of Hollywood’s best-paid actors. By this time, she and her makeup artist had come up with what they called “Marilyn’s signature makeup”: dark, curved eyebrows, pale skin, and shiny red lips. The New York Times said in a review of Niagara that Monroe wasn’t the best actor at the time, but that she could be seductive even when she was just walking around.

Audrey Hepburn was a style star and a woman with a lot of skills. Not only was she a great actress, but she was also a dancer and a model. Audrey’s sweet innocence made everyone around her fall in love with her. Critics said that she had “an elfin, wistful beauty.” In 1954, Hepburn was called the “personification of our new idea of a woman.”

Elizabeth Taylor is another woman with great style and beautiful eyes. Cat-eye makeup became very famous because of how she looked in the movie Cleopatra.

Under the name Twiggy, Lesley Lawson is a beauty who is known all over the world. She was a fashion star in the 1960s. She made it cool to be both male and female, to have very short hair, and to have a thin body. But Lawson couldn’t figure out why she was so popular. She said, “I hated the way I looked, so I thought everyone was crazy.”

The 1980s — Michelle Pfeiffer

In the 1980s, Michelle was one of the most well-known actors. After the movie The Fabulous Baker Brothers, both fans and reviewers fell in love with her even more. People even said that Pfeiffer was just as good as Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe.

The 1990s: Cindy Crawford and Sharon Stone
