"Classic beauty" in the western sense means women who have that specific look that is most common among white women.

As I said previously, other cultures have their own standards of a "classically beautiful face."

You can't judge Indian, Asian or African bone structure by white beauty standards.

actually you can, and there are many examples who fit into those standards. in fact those tend to be the very women who are considered exceptionally beautiful in their own cultures.

What? So women from Africa who have white beauty features are also the most beautiful in their own country and considered so by their own people? Surely you mean, models who are found by WHITE agencies for being models?

yes absolutely. Black women (found by "white agencies" - though if you were close to the industry you would know that's it's far from white) and top of the crop not only in the US but international markets as well. They just happen to be universally beautiful.

I don't know what thread you are reading but other PPs and I have named:

Iman
Aishwarya Rai
Halle Barry
Lupita Nyong'o
Kerry Washington
Gal Gadot

I think I even cited Nefertiti.

None of whom are the white beauty standard.

All of whom are classic beauties.

Apart from Lupita, I am reading the same thread as you. Plus what is Gal Gadot doing on your list of African or partially African women? She is as white as it gets. Halle Berry has extremely white features, you are clearly clueless about African, Asian and other ethnicity and their beauty standards, classical or just cute. Aishwara Rai? Really? You found the whitest feature looking Indian woman to prove your point? Nefertiti, historians and archaeologists speculate was of North East African heritage, which has facial features similar to white ethnicity. Look up Ethiopian women.

so your problem is not that women listed are white but that they have "white features"? first of all features are not necessarily white (more women in Ethiopia have high cheek bones than in any white country), they just happen to be what everyone everywhere likes. imam is gorgeous not only by white standards but also by "black"' and "Asian" standards. you can stamp your feet all day long but you wil never make fat ass Serena Williams or some such "a classical beauty".

that's not necessarily what everyone everywhere likes. please stop speaking for all of humanity.

The short voluptuous one in the center front is not a classic beauty. She is too curvy.

by all means keep telling yourself that you are beautiful but there is a lot of research on this, sorry!

Her make-up is complementary and understated. She isn't trendy or trying to look younger than she is. She also has class, compassion and carries herself with integrity. It's no all about how you look.

Huh? She is middle eastern version of SJP.

Agree completely

While I am no huge fan of the Kardashian clan, I do have to agree that Kim is insanely beautiful.

For someone who doesn’t sing, act or do anything else talented, she sure is our Queen of pop culture now.

Plus many people claim to dislike her.

But I have never heard a soul state that she is not pretty.

She has been body shamed a lot, but she does have the birthright of beauty.

You've never heard a soul state that she is not pretty. Who do you hang out with? 20 year old frat boys?

Its symmetry and that golden ratio thing that you can easily google. Ethnicity doesn't matter- anyone who falls with a high level of symmetry and facial measurements closest to that golden ratio is going to look like a classic beauty.

I'm not hating, but that girls' face has been pushed, pulled, injected and sliced- so calling it birthrite is interesting. She has always had very very nice eyes and high cheek bones for sure which made her pretty. The, um, additional help has made her face very beautiful.
