[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Symmetrical features, good bone structure, and usually conventional taste in hairstyles and clothes. Nothing too extreme or exaggerated or "cute" (like Angelina's lips, which are out of proportion to her thin, angular face, or giant Kewpie doll eyes and a button mouth). People using this term in the west are probably thinking from a western perspective, of course. A "classic beauty" in Japan may mean something different (though symmetry is pretty universally admired). [/quote] ^ P.S. there are great beauties who are not "classic" beauties. Sometimes an unusual feature can render the whole structure more sublime or arresting. When people refer to classic beauties (again, in the west), I think of someone like Betty Draper. Conventionality is key. Someone like Rooney Mara could be considered a classic beauty if she dressed and styled herself like Audrey Hepburn, but her taste is too avant garde for that designation.[/quote]
