It is not only how a woman looks that makes her beautiful, but also how she speaks and how she carries herself. This is indeed an impossible task, since judging beauty is completely subjective. With that said, here are my choices for the top 20 prettiest models and actresses.

Kate Beckinsale - She's HOT at times, and SWEET at others, but with an accent like hers, who's cares WHY? Those piercing eyes and perfect lips will have any man crawling to her door.

Zhang Ziyi - She has the most beautiful face that just seems to pierce through your soul and capture it. Despite the evil villains she loves to portray, she melts you like she's made of sugar and spice.

Charlize Theron - Perfect cheekbones, piercing eyes, and a real natural beauty.

Scarlett Johansson - Who doesn't love Scarlett? She has the most beautiful face, even without makeup, and a strong sensual body. You can tell she really takes good care of herself.

Angelina Jolie - The lips! But that goes without saying. Her humanitarian heart also makes her very beautiful.

Gabrielle Union - Gabrielle is timeless. From the luscious curves to the chubby cheeks to her killer smile, girls wanna be her and guys want to be with her.

Natalie Portman - Natalie is soft, sweet, and gorgeous. Some of her coy looks could stop any man dead in his tracks.

Milla Jovovich - She's tough, bad-ass, and has the prettiest eyes of any girl on this list. Her beauty comes like shock-waves through your body and leaves you aching for more.

Marisa Tomei - She looks a lot like Ashley Judd sometimes. They both do that squint with their eyes.

Selma Hayek - Her beauty seems to come from somewhere deep within. Her piercing eyes and perfect lips and sense of confidence are what puts her on this list.

Penelope Cruz - She has this quality about her that makes you want to protect her and never let anyone hurt her. A shy innocence that you know comes from somewhere deep. I think it's the dimples.

Ashley Judd - She's probably every guys "girl next door" fantasy cause she's just so darn sweet!

Catherine Zeta Jones - I put her on the list even though my boyfriend adores her and it makes me soooo jealous! I have to give the girl props for being hot even tho she's older than most on this list.

Sophia Loren - A timeless beauty.. I think it's the flames in her soul and the fire in her red locks.

Halle Berry - She has the most beautiful flawless looking skin. She's either taken very good care of herself or has the best makeup artist in Hollywood.

Keira Knightly - Young, sweet, fit, and sexy. Of course she's on the list.

Tyra Banks - Tyra is beautiful, smart, tough, and super sexy.

Nicole Kidman - Nicole is creamy and dreamy. Creamy dream with blonde hair or fiesty fox with red hair. We all love her!

Julia Roberts - The big mouth, the big heart, and the big hair. What's not to love?

Grace Kelly - Gorgeous chin, beautiful side profile, and flowing hair. This list would be a joke without her on the list.
