10. Twiggy

Twiggy was arguably the first supermodel. With her short hair, big eyes and tiny dresses, she epitomized the swinging ’60s. To this day, she is considered a controversial figure for having popularized the waif look. She represented everything that was fun about mod London in the late ’60s. She dressed in a way that was more appealing to women than to men. She favored straight sheath dresses that made her look even younger and more childlike than she already was. Her sex appeal came from her seeming obliviousness to the fact that she was attractive.

9. Blake Lively

Blake Lively is a recent addition to the canon of beautiful blondes, but she earns her status by embracing her all-American appeal. She got her start as the effortlessly appealing Bridget in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and she went on to embody upscale bohemian glamor on Gossip Girl. Though she fits the California blonde archetype perfectly, her features are actually somewhat unusual. She stands out among other Hollywood blondes. Her business sense is unparalleled among her peers. She recently launched Preserve, a lifestyle and fashion website that allows her to share her voice with her fans on her own terms. Her unguarded smile and perfect figure guarantee that she will enter the pantheon of timeless blondes.

8. Grace Kelly

Grace Kelly was the original classic blonde beauty. Her face is so iconic that she remains a legend despite acting in only five films. During the ’50s and ’60s, she was the standard against which all other women were measured. In fact, her pert nose, wide-set eyes and full lips are still very much in fashion and probably always will be. She was the pinnacle of the Hitchcock Blonde phenomenon, and she won an Academy Award for her performance in The Country Girl. Her win ignited a feud with Judy Garland, who felt that Kelly had stolen the Oscar that was meant for her. Always the good girl, Kelly reacted by marrying a prince and quitting acting for good. She was a perfect portrait of the mid-century American Dream: silver screen royalty who became actual royalty.

7. Farrah Fawcett

Farrah Fawcett exuded a combination of sex appeal and innocent wholesomeness that still feels wholly contemporary. With her feathered hair and toothy grin, she was every boy’s fantasy. Every week, fans would tune in to see her fight crime on Charlie’s Angels. Though the show seems silly in retrospect, Farrah and her costars were creating a new kind of action star. They were strong women with no-nonsense attitudes who did not turn their femininity into a farce. The famous 1976 poster of her in a red swimsuit is one of the most recognizable images of all time.

6. Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson’s attractiveness is as relentless as her presence in the pop culture landscape. She got her big break when she attended a football game with friends and randomly appeared on the audience video screen. Her image was met with such fervor that she was immediately awarded a Playboy cover. She went on the grace more Playboy covers than any other woman, and she is practically synonymous with the Playboy brand. She briefly played a minor role on Home Improvement before landing the Baywatch role that would make her a household name. When she married rocker Tommy Lee four days after meeting him, she became an inescapable media force, redefining rock and roll outlandishness for the age of MTV.

5. Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence emerged out of nowhere in 2013 to become America’s sweetheart. She won her first Oscar the next year, and at the age of 23 became both a seasoned veteran of acting and the most beloved young woman in the country. She possesses a refreshing candor and a quick wit to go along with her stunning beauty. As Katniss in The Hunger Games, she is a flawed heroine who inspires a revolution simply by being herself and speaking her mind. In real life, Lawrence makes no apologies for her outspoken personality and curvy figure, which is not the norm in Hollywood. Her spur-of-the-moment haircut is currently the hottest look in fashion, with long, shaggy bobs being the defining hairstyle of the new millennium.

4. Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Bardot’s image was pure fantasy. Her gigantic bouffant hairstyle, slanted cat eyes and puffy lips were almost too much to take in at first glance. Her figure was even more exaggerated, curving above and below an impossibly small waist. She is the rare famous beauty who did not spark many fashion trends, as she rarely wore much in the way of clothing. Her hair was always artfully tousled as if she had just gotten out of bed. Her sharp eye makeup made her look positively unreal, even as her markedly gapped teeth grounded her beauty and made her even more desirable.

3. Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston is a shining example of a beautiful woman who only gets better with age. As Rachel Green on the television juggernaut Friends, Aniston became the standout comedic presence during an era of classic sitcoms. Her charisma was unmatched by anyone else on the air. The whole country watched as her character transformed from a spoiled rich girl into a fully-fledged adult. Everyone laughed and cried along with Rachel as she navigated her turbulent relationship with David Schwimmer’s Ross. Aniston’s 1995 haircut, known simply as “the Rachel,” was imitated by women all over the world; Aniston hated the cut the entire time she had it. When Friends ended in 2004, she embarked upon a film career and maintained her reputation as a great comic actress. She also came to settle on a look that consists of low-key natural beauty and a minimalist wardrobe. She confidently lets her work and personality speak for themselves.

2. Madonna

Madonna is a legend, pure and simple. Her punk roots gave her an edge that, in the early ’80s, forced a dramatic shift away from the schmaltzy balladry of the ’70s. Always a very beautiful woman, she did not care about looking conventionally attractive, sporting messy hair and ripped clothing, which were duly copied by her teenage fans. She sang about racy and provocative subjects with aplomb and rotated through different personae without getting lost in the farce. As a fresh-faced pop singer, she introduced the mainstream to a new kind of female brashness. Now in her fifties, Madonna refuses to allow anyone to dismiss her because of her age.

1. Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe is probably the most famous film star of all time. No one will ever be more beloved or imitated than Monroe, whose stunning beauty and heartbreaking fragility are now so familiar in young starlets that it is hard to believe that Marilyn was the first actress to be known for her vulnerability. Her features were slightly unconventional at the time of her rise to fame, with everything being just a touch too wide-set. Prior to Monroe, Grace Kelly’s icy perfection was the standard. Monroe dismantled that archetype with a face that betrayed every emotion behind it and a figure that is still revered, regardless of shifting preferences regarding body type. She was sorely underrated as an actress, giving raw, natural performances at a time when her costars were still using the showy mannerisms of the Golden Age films. Her legendary romances and tragic death have eclipsed her talent, but her beauty will never be overshadowed.
