[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one calls Kate Middleton a classic beauty, at least no one with eyes. I think of timeless faces like Ava Gardner or Grace Kelly. Today I would say Angelina Jolie. Assuming of course that most people who use this term think exclusively of white women as classic beauties. I would put Iman or Rita Hayworth in this category as well and among modern women, Aishwarya Rai.[/quote]

Angelina Jolie looks like a porn star, not a classic beauty. [/quote]

She’s skinny as hell which isn’t classically beautiful.

You are wrong to think that no one of another race is a ‘classic beauty’ .

Serena Williams. Queen Rania of Jordan.  Michelle Kwan. Vanessa Williams. The list is endless.
You are prejudiced.[/quote]

You misunderstand me. I said that Rita Hayworth, Iman and Aishwarya Rai are classic beauties but the assumption on DCUM tends to be that only white women can be called that.[b] In fact, the premise of the thread is about a basic white woman, Kate Middleton being called a classic beauty, which is preposterous because she is basic,[/b] but not because she is white. OP seemed to imply that whiteness was part of it.[/quote]

+1
it's the shape of the face (bone structure) + proportions of the facial features + plus general stature, elegance. it has nothing to do with color of the skin or hair.[/quote]

Exactly!

That is why Halle Berry tops the list.

It is funny, I googled classic beauty and three of the first few pictures that came up were Grace Kelly. Audrey Hepburn and Halle Berry.

So even "the internets" agree with those three.
