Ranking the Most Beautiful Women in the World

Most celebrities end up looking good – after all, money buys beauty – but some are undeniably stunning. There are English roses, Latin bombshells, striking athletes, adorable soap stars, and long-legged models. Among Hollywood’s elite are women with unusual looks, diverse features, and bags of talent. Supposedly, beauty fades, but for these women, it’s not going anywhere. Let’s take a look at some of the most beautiful women in the world.

With her large features and modelesque figure, South African model Candice Swanepoel has been in magazines in most countries in the world. Swanepoel is best known for her work with Victoria's Secret, and was the 8th highest-earning model in the world at one point.

Penelope Cruz was born in Madrid, Spain to a hairdresser mother and a mechanic father. In Spain, people refer to the beautiful actress as the "Spanish Sorceress." This should come as no surprise considering Cruz's incredible long-lasting beauty.

Another face from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is top model Gigi Hadid, daughter of Dutch former real housewife Yolanda Hadid, and property developer Mohamed Hadid. Gigi - real name Jelena Noura Hadid - was the captain of the varsity volleyball team in high school, and a competitive horseback rider.

Actress and TV host Olivia Munn is an absolutely gorgeous woman. Munn was born in Oklahoma City to a German, Irish, English father, and a Vietnamese mother of Chinese descent. Munn's mother moved to the US as a refugee following the Vietnam War, and later remarried a member of the US Air Force. Because of this, Munn spent her formative years in Tokyo, Japan.
