This talented and gorgeous Lebanese singer and actress is like our middle-eastern version of Avril Lavigne, only with many traits and features that make her utterly unique and special. In fact, Wehbe was included in People Magazine’s ’50 Most Beautiful People’ list in 2006, and we can clearly see why.
The Arab singer was also ranked 8th on the 2006 Edition of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women by the website AskMen.com. Unfortunately, due to her revealing outfits, some conservative Arab countries have tried to ban the talented singer from performing. Wehbe managed to stop the efforts by performing in more modest apparel in these countries.
Beyoncé
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, Bey, or Queen B for short, is not only a worldwide celebrity singer, actress and dancer, but she is also an inspiring career woman and an incredible mother.

Both ultimately raising her status and getting her on this list.
Ratajkowski is apparently a big fan of Bernie Sanders and recently supported his campaign.

Emma Watson is a great example of what beauty and brains look like, and has worked extensively to promote women’s rights. When asked about the impact of her role as Hermione, she said, “Young girls are told you have to be the delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be the warrior” too.
Aishwarya Rai
No list of the world's most beautiful women is complete without the 45-year-old actress, model and Miss World 1994 winner, Aishwarya Rai. She is considered one of the most popular and influential celebrities in India. For good reason, just look at her 'smize'!

Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr, whose beauty and brains lead her to an incredible modeling career from a young age, was originally born in Sidney, Australia. Her modeling career began at age 13, which caused, among some, a "concerned outrage" due to the vulnerability of her young age. This raised some question as to the correctness of glorifying young girls within the fashion industry. Fortunately, Miranda didn’t let all that get in her way and has since become a much aspired to Victoria's Secret angel, launched her own brand of organic skincare products, and written a self-help book.
As if that weren't enough, this beauty also managed to tie the knot with Orlando Bloom, whom she was married to from 2010 to 2013. Kerr does at times express a longing for her simpler life before becoming a world-class model. When remembering her childhood years in the countryside in Australia, she says it was "very grounding ... there wasn't any pretentiousness and no one really cared what you were wearing. You could just be you."
Scarlett Johansson
The American actress and singer, known by geeks all across the world as Black Widow, is 2018's highest-paid actress and has been the recipient of several awards, including a Tony Award and a British Academy Film Award.

Standing at 6ft tall, Dunn claims she was always self-conscious of her height. She claims that growing up, people often told her she should be a model. Luckily, she was scouted by an agent at age 15 while shopping in a London clothing store. The model has since gone on to win Model of the Year in 2008, 2013, 2015 and also Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017. Dunn has also secured some minor roles on TV and film.

I wouldn't want them to uproot their lives from Bengaluru just to be with me." Besides, with her busy work schedule, there barely seems to be time left for friends and family. Bonus fact: Padukone considers religion an important part of her life and is a practicing Hindu.
Taraneh Alidoosti
Voted the best Iranian actress of the decade by Sanate Cinema Magazine, Taraneh Alidoosti and her Persian beauty is something you don't want to miss. Alidoosti began her acting career at age 17 and was highly acclaimed from the beginning.
The 35-year-old actress has maintained a steady body of work in film and is known for being very choosy about her roles, only going for challenging, dramatic characters. In early 2017, the Iranian actress announced she would be boycotting the 89th Academy Awards ceremony due to stringent visa restrictions imposed on Iranians by the Trump administration. She may not have made it to the Academy Awards but her beautiful face and talent did make it to our list.
Zoe Kravitz
You may recognize Zoë Isabella Kravitz's name because she's the daughter of famous musician, Lenny Kravitz. The actress made her debut in the 2007 romantic comedy-drama, 'No Reservations', but her breakthrough only happened in 2011, when she played the mutant Tempest in 'X-Men: First Class'.

Upton has appeared in many magazines and commercials and was nominated as the fifth-sexiest model by Models.com.
The actress is a religious person and claims her belief in God is important to her.

Margot Robbie
Most of us first saw Margot Robbie in her 2013 breakthrough role as the rich and seductive Naomi Lapaglia in 'The Wolf of Wall Street', and we couldn’t get her out of our heads ever since! The Australian actress later went on to play the beautiful, yet totally psychotic, Harley Quinn. Robbie is currently filming Suicide Squad’s sequel, 'Birds of Prey', where she reprises her role as the woman of crime and makes our eyes pop, our jaws drop and our mouths water once again.
Robbie received critical acclaim in 2017 for her portrayal of the disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, in the biographical film 'I, Tonya', and was nominated for 7 awards throughout the years. Although, if it were up to us, she would have won them all!
Angelina Jolie
Before actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson stole our hearts and drove us to theaters, we had Angelina Jolie dazzle us in roles like Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Mrs. Smith (Mr. & Mrs. Smith), and most recently, Maleficent (Maleficent). Besides an incredible acting and directing career, Jolie is noted for her humanitarian efforts, for which she has received many awards.
Jolie was cited for many years as the world’s most beautiful woman, and as one of the most influential and powerful people in the American entertainment industry. Since her breakup with Brad Pitt, we've been rooting for her to find her prince charming but truthfully, no one really compares to this American heartthrob. For now, she will just keep dazzling us on the red carpet.
Ronda Rousey
If there's one woman on this list that can truly 'kick-butt', it's Ronda Rousey. The former MMA fighter and current WWE wrestler shows women everywhere just how powerful they can be, all while looking absolutely fabulous and having the brains to boot.
Rousey became the first American woman to win an Olympic Judo medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics. She has since become the MMA Women's champion, which led to an incredible career, including various acting roles and being the cover athlete of the UFC videogames.
Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham is unarguably the most beautiful plus-size model in the world. She was spotted at the young age of 13 by an agency, while shopping at a mall in Omaha, Nebraska, and her modeling career began from there.
In 2017, Graham released a book 'A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty, and Power Really Look Like', where she tells of her experiences as a plus-sized model and body positivity advocate. Graham also gave a TED Talk advocating for self-acceptance, in which she stared into a mirror and made comments that many teen (and adult) women can relate to, like: “Back fat, I see you popping over my bra today. But that’s all right. I’m gonna choose to love you.” We could all learn a thing or two about self-acceptance from her.
Halle Berry
Halle Berry began her career as a model and almost won Miss USA in 1986. The actress went on to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the only woman of African American descent to have won the award. During the 2000s, Berry became one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood.
Nobody was surprised when she won first place in the 2003 Time's list of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" (notice that she beat the men too!). She was also named Esquire magazine's "Sexiest Woman Alive", which was a huge compliment to the 42-year-old actress who had just had a baby.
Taylor Hill
When she's not uploading cute pictures with her dog Tate to her 13 million Instagram followers, Taylor Hill spends her time modeling as a Victoria's Secret Angel. Born in Palatine, Illinois, Hill was a gymnast before becoming a model.
She was also discovered at a very young age, 14 in fact, when she was in a barn in Granby, Colorado. Hey, those piercing eyes and charming smile will trap you anywhere.

Dakota Johnson
Despite acting minor parts in various small films, this actress is best known for starring as Anastasia Steele in the franchise that grossed over $1.3 billion, '50 Shades of Grey'.

Niki Karimi
If you believe that a woman doesn't have to be half-naked in order to be considered beautiful and attractive, you should look no further than the very attractive and talented, 47-year-old Iranian actress, director, and screenwriter, Niki Karimi.
She is, without a doubt, the most famous actress and director in Iran, and even translated Marlon Brandon's biography from English to Persian. She was recently awarded the best director, actress, and producer for her last film "Night Shift", and it looks like she's not intending to stop anytime soon!

In 2017, she intended to travel to China in order to participate in the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but could not get her Visa for allegedly 'being racist towards Buddha'. Yikes!

Manuela Arcuri
A true Italian beauty, Manuela Arcuri was raised in Latina, Italy and often appeared on covers of tabloids from a very young age. It's highly recommended not to get on her bad side since she has a black belt in karate.
Arcuri is considered a sex symbol in Italy and was attracted to show business from a very young age. The actress played in soap operas and films, and currently lives with her partner, Giovanni di Gianfrancesco, and their child.
Anne Curtis
Both us and Curtis's 13 million Instagram followers agree, that the 34-year-old Filipino-Australian actress, model, television host, VJ and recording artist is one of the most beautiful and talented beings Australia has ever produced. Did you know that she even wrote a successful children’s book?
The beautiful actress has received various awards and nominations, and even launched her own makeup line, called BLK Cosmetics. You don't get a body like that without some proper exercise and nutrition, which is why we were excited when Curtis launched a marathon called the "Heroes for Children Run", seeking to benefit UNICEF's "1,000 Days of Life" campaign.
Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis is a household name at this point, due to her jaw-dropping beauty and fantastic roles in various TV shows and romantic comedies. The actress gained her first critical acclaim for her performance in the 2010 psychological thriller, 'Black Swan'.
Mila Kunis was born in Soviet Ukraine, but her family quickly moved to the United States when she was just 7 years old. She was discovered by an agent shortly after enrolling in after-school acting classes and landed her first significant role at age 14, as Jackie Burkhart, in the American sitcom, 'That '70s Show'.

Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell established herself in the late '80s and early '90s as one of the most popular and sought-after models in the world, and was one of the six models of her generation declared by the fashion industry and press as a "supermodel". The model also acted in several films and TV shows, and even made her own R&B pop studio album.
After finding herself earning less than her caucasian model colleagues (despite being the most famous African-American model of her time), Campbell began investing in the political world. The now-49-year-old is an enthusiastic activist and philanthropist, fighting for racial equality between photoshoots. In 1991, she said, "I may be considered one of the top models in the world, but in no way do I make the same money as any of them." Which is why she has since dedicated much of her career to fighting against racial bias.
Natalie Portman
Our second Israeli beauty on the list is none other than Natalie Portman, arguably the best actress in the world. She was originally born as Neta-Lee Hershlag in Jerusalem and moved to the US in 1988. Portman has won numerous awards, including two Golden Globes and one Academy Award.
Portman has played in too many blockbusters and award-winning movies to count, with her newest films grossing hundreds of millions of dollars in the opening month. She is a strong supporter of the Democratic Party and campaigned for various nominees. She recently spoke at the Women's March in Los Angeles about the "Sexual Terrorism" she experienced in Hollywood. "I understood very quickly, even as a thirteen-year-old, that if I were to express myself sexually, I would feel unsafe. And that men would feel entitled to discuss and objectify my body to my great discomfort", Portman said at the #MeToo Event.
Alicia Vikander
From her talented acting to her innocent Swedish beauty, actress Alicia Vikander couldn't stay unnoticed for too long. Alicia got her big break playing the artificially intelligent humanoid robot in the science fiction film, 'Ex Machina', and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the role. Vikander was born and raised in Sweden. She began acting as a child and trained as a ballet dancer from a young age.
Vikander identifies herself as a feminist and promotes gender equality in films. "I'd just made five films in a row" she explained, "and [Tulip Fever] was the first one where I had a scene with another woman...There's a change happening, and I want to be part of that. You see something like The Hunger Games or Insurgent proving that a female role can carry a successful blockbuster", she told The Guardian.
Gal Gadot
The 34-year-old Israeli actress and model, Gal Gadot, took the world by storm when she wore that Amazonian armor in 'Wonder Woman'. Her first appearance on the big screen was in 'Fast & Furious', which she starred in just 5 years earlier, after being crowned Miss Israel in 2004.
Her Hebrew name means "riverbanks wave" and she completed 2 full years of military service in the Israeli army as a combat instructor, which she claims helped her win the breakthrough role in 'Fast & Furious'. When asked about her service, she said, "You give two or three years, and it's not about you. You learn discipline and respect."
Angelababy
Born Angela Yeung Wing, fans know her better by her very cute stage name "Angelababy." The half Chinese and half German model, actress, and singer (hello, triple threat) was actually dubbed as "the woman with the world's most beautiful face."
In addition to starring in a slew of Hollywood blockbusters, the stunning starlet was elected as one of the New Four Dan Actresses in 2013, the term was coined to describe the four of Mainland China's most bankable film actresses.
Charlotte McKinney
Charlotte McKinney found fame like many a millennial - on social media. The Florida native who was born in 1993 was trying to make it as a model but found little success. Well, she showed them, because after creating an Instagram account in which she showcased her look, she gained far more attention than she ever expected.
After that, the deals rolled in, and ever since she has worked with Esquire Magazine, made an iconic appearance in Carl Jr's and even made TV show appearances in "Dancing With the Stars" and "Baywatch"
Ariana Grande
Today's ultimate pop diva, Ariana Grande has enormous vocal talents, a superstar quality, and of course, drop-dead gorgeous looks. With beauty and cuteness combined Grande is one of the most recognizable faces in pop. We would be remiss if we didn't mention her successful acting career.
The singer actually got her start on stage, starring in some famous musicals, namely "Annie" and "13." She also starred in Nickelodeon's "Sam & Cat." Her impressive yet funny appearances on The Tonight Shows where she showcases her vocal impressions are probably one of the best things on late-night talk shows.
Charlize Theron
With those icy blue eyes and statuesque body, it's a no-brainer that the South African-born actress was the long-running face of Dior. But she's not all about looks. Charlize Theron is a world-class actress who effortlessly bounces between Hollywood Blockbusters and indie hits.
She has captivated us in films like "Mad Max", "Bombshell", "Prometheus", and more. The actress is also not afraid of ditching the glamour either with killer roles in films like "Monster" and "Tully."
Hannah Jeter
Derek Jeter is one lucky man to be married to one of the most successful Sports Illustrated Models around. The model and TV personality was born in the Virgin Islands and shot to stardom after modeling for a string of campaigns for Victoria's Secret, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ralph Lauren.
These days she lives a quiet life with her former baseball champ hubby and their two kids. The Sports Illustrated model showed off her on-screen charm as host in "Project Runway: Junior" from 2015-2017, showing the girls how it's done.
Taylor Swift
The country-pop icon has been wowing her fans since 2006 with her catchy "makes you wanna jump on your bed" kind of tunes. There's nothing more beautiful than singing your heart out about your relationships, and that's exactly what Taylor does.
Her musical talents have landed her countless awards such as American Music Awards, numerous Grammys, and even a Guinness World Record! The record? "Most No.1s On The US Digital Song Sales Chart." That's pretty darn impressive.
Isla Fisher
The talented Australian actress Isla Fisher showed us her comedy chops early on in her career. She made her debut in 2002 "Scooby Do" started her acting in 2002 with "Scooby-Doo" and ever since has been making us chuckle hysterically in theaters in films such as "Wedding Crashers" Keeping Up With the Joneses" and more.
There's also her more serious films like "The Great Gatsby" and "Nocturnal Animals." In case you didn't know, the actress is very much taken! She married fellow funnyman and master impressionist Sacha Baron Cohen in 2002 and has been with him ever since.
Olivia Wilde
If the name Olivia Wilde doesn't inspire thoughts of the Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde then we'd be surprised. Fun fact; she actually lent the writer's name and used it as her stage name. The actress has a special connection to Ireland and wanted to find a way to pay homage to her family of writers (many of who used pen names.) If that's not beautiful, we don't know what it is.
Wilde got her start in theater in the Gaiety School of Acting...in Dublin! It was only upward from then. She made her TV debut on the hit medical drama "House" and shot to stardom in a number of films such as "Tron: Legacy," "Cowboys and Aliens", and "Rush." Wilde has also flexed her directing chops with the films "Booksmart", "Wake Up" and "Don't Worry Darling."
Jennifer Lopez
You can't really get more iconic than Jennifer Lopez. The singer, actress, and dancer blew up after appearing in "Selena" as the title role. Of course, if we remember the years that followed, there were countless hits like "Let's Get Loud", "Jenny From the Block", and "Medicine." Not to mention countless romcoms.
Aside from her wildly successful film and music career that has stayed strong for decades, J.Lo has had a crazy love life with some big stars. From dancers to athletes, fellow actors, and singers, the talented woman has seen it all.
Emily Blunt
We all fondly remember the day we witnessed the lovely Emily Blunt as the uptight assistant to Amanda Priestly in "The Devil Wears Prada." Her talent landed her in much bigger roles after that, proving that she had a lot to offer.
With films like "A Quiet Place," "Sicario" "The Five-Year Engagement", "Mary Poppins Returns" and so much more Emily Blunt has become a household name. She's got quite a few awards to prove it too, with a few BAFTA nominations, a SAG, and a Golden Globe, Emily is no doubt, an accomplished actress.
Nina Dobrev
Born in Sophia, Bulgaria, Nina Dobrev moved with her family to Toronto, Canada when she was a tiny two-year-old. She is mostly known for her role as Elena in "Vampire Diaries." In it she played the sweet teen who finds herself in the middle of a love triangle between two dreamy vampire brothers.
Before that, however, she got some solid screentime in another Canadian teen drama! We'll let you guess which one, that's right..."Degrassi: Next Generation."
Selita Ebanks
As a model, it makes sense that Selita Ebanks would appear on this list, but not all models are in the same league as her! The international style icon represents some of the biggest brands in fashion today.
Betsy Johnson, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria’s Secret Angel are just some examples. The Caymanian model has also appeared in Vogue, international editions of Elle, Marie Claire, Sports Illustrated and more. Recently she even created her own clothing line.

After her time with Disney, she went on to pursue a singing and songwriting career and has writing credits on over 40 songs. As of today, she enjoys a hefty estimated net worth of $75 million.
Nana Im Jin-ah Nana
Possibly the most recognizable face inSouth Korea, Nana Im Jin-ah Nana is a singer and actress who has held her spot as one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Women for three years. On top of that, she's on the top list of the Independent Critics List of 100 Most Beautiful Faces.
Aside from being one of the most beautiful women in the world, she is also a singer in the popular South Korean pop group After School and its subgroups, Orange Caramel and After School Red.
Janelle Monáe
Honestly, Janelle Monáe has it all. An immaculate voice that can go as high as anything, killer rap skills, dance moves, and that X-factor swagger that give her a total star quality. It's a shame she's not bigger than she is right now.
The singer is famous for being quick to dismiss labels. Whether it be in her music or identity, Monáe embraces pretty much all styles, giving her music a distinct and colorful style.
Jennifer Aniston
She's no doubt our favorite friend, and we adore her in absolutely every role. The gorgeous film and TV star have been leading a mega-successful screen career for going on decades now. With countless Emmys, Golden Globes, and MTV Awards, Jen's got it all.

As a recipient of a Screen Actors Guild Award and Critics' Choice Television Award, and six Emmy nominations, Hendricks has been recognized as one of the greatest TV actresses today.
Christina Aguilera
If ever there was a pop diva, Christian Aguilera is it. The pop singer exploded in the 2000s with "Genie in a Bottle" and has shown no signs of stopping ever since. Having had recieved countless music awards and as a judge on "The Voice" it's safe to say Christina is one of the pillars of today's music biz.
Oh, she's also appeared in over forty films and can still carry a tune like it's nobody's business. We will always love Christina Aguilera
Shakira
The Colombian singer, songwriter, and dancer first made her recording debut at the age of 13! She is known for her yodeling-style singing and her hips that "don't lie." Before she made it in the U.S. market she was widely loved in the Spanish-speaking world, but once she started translating her songs into English she was well-received in the western markets as well.
As of today, she has produced 11 studio albums and has written over 70 songs, and if you've caught her last performance at the Superbowl, besides Jennifer Lopez, you can tell she's showing no signs of slowing down yet. At 43, she's still got a lot of music, and dance moves, to share with the world.
Cara Delevingne

These days the actress is on a bit of a hiatus raising her two daughters with her equally gorgeous hubby, Ryan Gosling.
Solange Knowles
Move over Beyonce. You're not the only Knowles around here. Solange, her younger sister has been climbing her way up in recent years with her own unique sound. While the two are often being compared, Solange has created a very different sound to her sister and is substantially less commercial, but in the best way possible way.
Billboard ranked her the 100th most popular artist in the dance genre of all time. Considering your sister is one of the most iconic singers that ever lived.
Megan Fox

Of course, her career skyrocketed as far back as 2014 when she landed a contract with the IMG Models model. Ever since she's been at the forefront of some of the world's biggest brands such as Marc Jacob, Tommy Hilfiger, and Diane von Furstenberg. Just look at her perfect jawline and electric eyes, the woman is a real sight.
Kim Kardashian
Well, well, well, if it isn't the iconic Kim K! She might be the most famous person in America, other than the president (who for many is far more interesting!) To get that kind of status you have to have a mega-successful TV show all about your life, be a savvy businesswoman, marry the biggest name in hip hop and break the internet with a photo of your booty.
Magically she did all that, all whilst looking completely flawless. Recently the media queen has actually shifted into more serious issues involving politics, specifically focusing on prison reform. Beautiful, right?
Kendall Jenner
Hailing from the American royalty, Kendall Jenner hasn't just relied on her name to get by. The beautiful media personality is also a super savvy businesswoman who also happens to be, according to Forbes, the world's highest-paid model.
