By: iTopTopics Staff

Celebrity's beauty, fame and success

“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” but whether the beholder’s opinion is a product of genetic features or of environmental factors has long been an interesting study for scientists. In the recent report published on October 1st, 2015 by Current Biology has found that individual aesthetic preferences for faces are shaped mostly by environments, not genes. Our individual life experiences lead us to form our definition on beauty.

Every year we see new celebrities popped up in the list of the most beautiful women in the world but one thing they all have in common is that their beauty brings along their success and fame. The factors to weigh their beauty are not just how gorgeous they look genetically, but also how well-known they are. Fame is a big attribute on how you view a celebrity. A celebrity who makes to the most beautiful women in the world last year might not be in the list this year just because she hasn’t been in the public eyes as much. Her fame is fading, not her God-given beauty.

Here is our list of the top 20 most beautiful female celebrities for 2016, not in any particular ranking order, as their names have been popped up frequently in the list of the top beautiful women all around the world.

Scarlett Johansson - The most beautiful celebrities

Scarlett Johansson was born on November 22nd 1984 in New York City. She was considered as a child actor with her first acting role when she was only 9 years old. In 1996, she played Amanda in “Manny & Lo” and received positive reviews for the role. She was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Lead Female. San Francisco Chronicle movie critic Mick LaSalle commentated on her "peaceful aura", and wrote, "If she can get through puberty with that aura undisturbed, she could become an important actress."

LaSalle’s prediction of Johansson’s success with maintaining her “peaceful aura” turned reality. With her airy, nonchalant persona, she becomes the sexy movie goddess in the later roles she took as an adult actress.

Scarlett Johansson made the transition from teen roles to adult roles in the 2003 American romantic comedy-drama film “Lost In Translation”, written and directed by Sofia Coppola. She played Charlotte, a listless and lonely young wife, opposite Bill Murray. Her break-out role as an adult earned her a Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival, Golden Globe Award for Best Actress nomination.

Scarlett Johansson was named the sexiest woman alive in 2013 by Esquire magazine with her curvy body, seductive pouty lips and soultry eyes. Critics described her sexiness as her given talent, as how she’s seducing the camera in a very casual but effective way, to lure you into her seductive roles.

How does she react to the world’s perception of her sexiness and her God-given curvy body?

“I'm curvy - I'm never going to be 5' 11' and 120 pounds. But I feel lucky to have what I've got.”

In an interview, Johansson revealed that she caught in her own cleavage, sort of:

“I was driving through Los Angeles and I look up and see the biggest photo of me I have ever seen in my life on a massive ad space. I screamed and slammed on the brakes. I couldn't believe it. It's very strange to see my cleavage the size of a brontosaurus. My breasts were huge. I had long hair and my goodness, I couldn't get past the cleavage.”

In our list of the most beautiful celebrities of 2016, this movie goddess Scarlett Johansson is still very much a desirable face and body in the entertainment industry.

Jennifer Lawrence was born on August 15, 1990 in Louisville, Kentucky. She starred in various supporting roles since 2006.

In 2010 she had her career breakthrough with the acclaimed role in the independent drama “Winter's Bone” as a poverty-stricken teenager who cares for her mentally ill mother and younger siblings while searching for her missing father. A week before the filming, Jennifer Lawrence traveled to the Ozarks to live with the family on whom the story was based upon to learn, to prepare to be in Ree Dolly character, she learned to fight, skin squirrels and even chop woods. She gained raving reviews from movie critics for her performance. Peter Travers of the Rolling Stone magazine wrote:"Her performance is more than acting, it's a gathering storm. Lawrence's eyes are a roadmap to what's tearing Ree apart." The role landed her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress and a Golden Globe nomination.

Jennifer Lawrence’s career took off strong after that. She played Mystique in X-Men: Days of Future Past, which served as a sequel to both X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and X-Men: First Class (2011). Her lifetime role was to play Katniss Everdeen in the big-screen adaptation of literary sensation The Hunger Games in 2012 and its 3 sequels which makes her the highest paid actress in the world for 2 consecutive years, 2015 & 2016.

It’s her talent and her genuine persona that brings out her sexy appeal. Jennifer Lawrence has been voted to be one of the most beautiful celebrities in the world for 2016.

Amber Heard

Amber Heard - The most beautiful celebrities

The model-turned-actress Amber Heard was born April 22, 1986 in Austin, Texas.

Amber Heard’s career breakthrough started with her supporting role in “Pineapple Express”, a 2008 American action comedy film directed by David Gordon Green and the martial arts drama “Never Back Down”, both of which were box office successes. The role in “Pineapple Express” earned her the 2008 Young Hollywood Award.

In 2011 she starred alongside with Johnny Depp in “The Rum Diary” based on the novel of the same name by Hunter S. Thompson. Johnny Depp and Heard met on the set of the film, where they played each other's love interests. The two later married in February 2015, an intimate ceremony on Depp’s private island in Bahamas. In 2016, their marriage ended after 15 months of marriage after Amber Heard filed for a temporary restraining order against Depp, alleging he had been both verbally and physically abusive to her throughout their marriage. She made headline news with a total divorce settlement of $7 million to be donated to the 2 charities: the American Civil Liberties Union — with the money earmarked to prevent violence against women — and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Some said her action was a little too late to shut down the rumors swirling around the beginning of their divorce that she was seeking $55,000 a month from Depp. Amber Heard cleared it once and for all, that all she wished for was some good coming out of their ugly divorce: “I know these organizations will put the funds to good use and look forward to continuing to support them in the future. Hopefully, this experience results in a positive change in the lives of people who need it the most.”

Amber Heard was also outspoken about her sexuality. She is content with herself and her beings so when people talked about her “coming-out”, she casually explained: “I don't want to be labeled as one thing or another. In the past I've had successful relationships with men, and now I'm in this successful relationship with a woman. When it comes to love I am totally open. I don't want to be put into a category, as in I'm this or I'm that".

For this gorgeous celebrity, her career has been taking off slowly because Amber Heard has carefully chose the roles she wanted to perform. Heard once said: “I'm looking to find good stories, not big commercial pieces of work.” With that work ethics in mind, we are expecting great roles for her in the future and she will continue appearing on the most beautiful women in the world list for years to come.

Katy Perry

The singer, song-writer Katy Perry has not only one of the highest earned celebrities but also one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Perry grew up with strict Pentecostal Christian parents who are both pastors. Katy Perry wasn't even allowed to watch The Smurfs or read Harry Potter. Ironically enough, in July 2011 Katy made her film debut as Smurfette in The Smurfs.

Interesting fact about Katy Perry’s behind the song “I Kissed A Girl” inspiration came from a picture of Scarlett Johansson she saw on a magazine. In an interview to promote her album “One of The Boys”, Perry revealed: “I’m not going to lie: If Scarlett Johansson walked into the room and wanted to make out with me, I would make out with her.”

Her public image has been sketched as a copy of some comic Katy Keene character. But as a smart performer like Katy Perry, she and her team know how to turn up a notch with her stage look to target younger audience. GQ has named her "full-on male fantasy" image and Elle magazine described her body “as though sketched by a teenage boy”.

Her fashion sense also emphasized her bubbly personality with bright colors, big prints, even food-related prints on her dress. Vogue described her as "never exactly one to shy away from the outrageous or the extreme in any realm". Glamour magazine named Katy Perry the "queen of quirk". With no limit to her creativity and no shy from expressing herself through her fashion, Katy Perry has earned another title to add to her long list as one of the most beautiful celebrities in the world of 2016”.

Taylor Swift

On our top 20 most beautiful celebrities in the world, Taylor Swift took a solid spot on the list. 2016 has been a great year for Taylor Swift, not only she’s on top of the gorgeous women but also the richest, top earning, highest paid entertainer in the world with an impressive 70 million in earnings from her tours and endorsements.

Her look is as beautiful as her music. Her song lyrics speak from her heart. She grew up in the public eyes and every relationship; she bares and tells it all in her music to the world. Fortunately, Taylor Swift is an acclaimed poet who knows how to express her feelings out so beautifully. When she was in fourth grade, Taylor Swift won a national poetry contest for her poem called “Monster in My Closet”. And guess whose closet she would want to raid? Blake Lively.

In 2012, Michelle Obama presented Taylor Swift an award for her humanitarian endeavors. The First Lady viewed Taylor Swift as a singer who "has rocketed to the top of the music industry but still keeps her feet on the ground, someone who has shattered every expectation of what a 22-year-old can accomplish" and still stay true to herself. Swift admitted she hasn’t let fame changed her as a person. Her best friends are still her friends from high school. To stay true to herself and be the role model as it shaped her career and music, here is how Taylor Swift keeps herself out of trouble: “I think it all comes down to who you surround yourself with and how strong your morals are. Before I make a decision, I stop and think about the 10-year-old girl I saw last night at my concert in the front row. I think about her mom. I think about how they bought my CD, thinking that I’m a good role model.” Taylor Swift keeps her fashion style feminine, appealing but not revealing or exposed. In 2014 People magazine voted her on the best dressed list. In 2015, Taylor Swift was named Woman of the Year at the Elle Style Awards. Taylor Swift was named as sex symbol by Bloomberg LP and ranked first in Maxim's Hot 100 list. As glamorous as she is, her favorite places to shop is Forever 21 and BCBG.

Beyonce

It was Beyonce and her signature dance that led to another word to add to our vocabulary – “bootylicious”. It’s officially in the Oxford English Dictionary as an adjective for “sexually attractive, especially with curvaceous buttocks”. Though Beyonce was embarrassed to be the author or creator of such a word full of sexual innuendo being added to the dictionary, but it has set the signature performance style for her going solo later. The song was the 2nd hit from Destiny Child’s album “Survivor” which earned the group a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. It was on the Billboard Hot 100 for nineteen consecutive weeks since June 1st, 2001.

Beyonce had her own definition for “bootylicious”, she added: "I don't know what it says (officially) in the dictionary, but my definition (of bootylicious) is beautiful, bountiful and bounce-able." Bounce-able like jelly, as in Destiny Child’s single hit “Bootylicious”:

I don't think you ready for this jelly

I don't think you ready for this

Cause my body too bootylicious for ya babe

With her curvaceous body, Beyonce knew how to use it on stage, choreographed cleverly in her dance moves to command attentions from her fans. In September 2010, Beyoncé made her runway modelling debut at Tom Ford's Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show. She was on the top list of many magazines for the "Hottest Female Singer of All Time" (by Complex), "World's Most Beautiful Woman" (by People) in 2012, GQ featured her on the top list of its "100 Sexiest Women of the 21st Century". This year is no exception for her and her long-standing rein as the Queen of Bootylicious style. Beyonce continues to stay on top of the list for the most beautiful celebrities in 2016.

Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale - The most beautiful celebrities

Kate Beckinsale is an epitome of Beauty Goddess. She was best known for her breaking role as a nurse in “Pearl Harbor” and as an action movie role of a vampire in the 2003 thriller series “Underworld”. Her graceful beauty would be perfect for poets to get inspired.

But her natural and timeless beauty didn’t always catch Hollywood producers and directors at the first glance. In 2001, she gracefully portrayed as nurse Evelyn in the American epic historical romantic war film directed by Michael Bay “Pearl Harbor”. It was her breaking role to embark on Hollywood. Her look didn’t strike director Michael Bay at first. He hired her for the role anyway because Bay thought Beckinsale’ beauty wasn’t threatening, she wasn’t "too beautiful. Women feel disturbed when they see someone’s too pretty." Michael Bay even requested her to lose weight for the role. Beckinsale knew her beauty, her body didn’t fit in with the typical Hollywood movie star molds. Kate Beckinsale told her body trainer at the time: “I think he was baffled by me because my boobs weren't bigger than my head and I wasn't blonde.” When she was only 15 years old, she was suffering anorexia for all the external stress of living with her step-family. At an adult, Kate Beckinsale knew that being a female actress she would have to learn to take criticism on her look and didn’t let it get to her head. She added: "If I had come on to a movie set at [a younger] age and someone had said, 'You're a bit funny-looking, can you go on a diet?'—I might have jumped off a building. I just didn't have the confidence to put that into perspective at the time."

Though “Pearl Harbor” didn’t get positive reviews from movie critics but it was still a commercial success, grossing $449 million worldwide. Kate Beckinsale quickly became a shiny star on the big screens. Her performance in “Pearl Harbor” was moving and real. Owen Gleiberman from Entertainment Weekly praised Beckinsale for her look: "the avid eyed, ruby lipped Kate Beckinsale, the rare actress whose intelligence gives her a sensual bloom; she's like Parker Posey without irony." Her striking beauty hasn’t aged over the years, only adding maturity to her look. 2016 Kate Beckinsale turned to be forty-three years old but she is still on the top of the list of the most gorgeous celebrities in the world.

Charlize Theron

The South African and American actress and film producer Charlize Theron always looks stunning and glamorous on the red carpet. She is on the top list of the most beautiful women in the world, not just in 2016 but she has been bestowed that goddess sex symbol status for more than a decade. In January 1999, Charlize Theron was on the cover of Vanity Fair and voted as the “White Hot Venus”. Her photos taken when she was a model were published on May 1999 issue of Playboy magazine, though without her acknowledgement.

Charlize Theron - The most beautiful celebrities

Charlize Theron embarked on Hollywood since she was 19 years old. Not until 3 years later she hit her box-office success with the female leading role in “The Devil's Advocate”. After appearing in other films, Theron starred as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster (2003). Movie critic Roger Ebert called it "one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema". On February 29, 2004, she won her first Academy Award, for her performance in Monster. She was the first South African to win an Oscar for Best Actress. Since then, her career took off on a great start. She became one of the highest-paid actresses in the world.

Despite her stardom and success, Charlize Theron lives a very private and simple life. In an interview with GQ magazine, she viewed being beautiful is a curse, a burden because there are certain expectations to maintain that persona, that perfect looks all the time. Not with Theron, she loves simplicity and causality. She was once said: “I'm 50-50 on glamour stuff. I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.”

Her take on being a sex symbol: “ Well, guess what? I'm a sexual creature. There's nothing wrong with that. Why do we have to be ashamed of being so many different things? Why do we have to be only one thing, a good mother or a hooker? I don't think that what's under my clothes is evil. I'm a woman, I'm feminine. And I like the way I look. And I celebrate that. And I don't make excuses for that.”

Charlize Theron is a grounded and smart lady. She knew in Hollywood, good looks could get your feet in the door, but to get far ahead of others, there got to be talent.

“Looks alone won't get you that far. It may get you in the door, but there's always somebody younger, somebody prettier. You have to rely on something else.” – Charlize Theron.

Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde - The most beautiful celebrities

The American actress, model, producer, director, activist, and entrepreneur Olivia Wilde is well known for her role as Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley on House which ran from 2007 till 2012 and her roles in Disney’s Tron: Legacy (2010), Cowboys & Aliens (2011), Her (2013), Drinking Buddies (2013), and Rush (2013).

As a mother of two young children, Olivia Wilde spoke out on the high expectation of female actresses to quickly lose the baby weight shortly right after giving birth: “I believe in a world where mothers are not expected to shed any physical evidence of their child-bearing experience. In that same world I believe there is space for exercise to be as much a gift to your brain as it is your body. I don't want to waste my time striving for some subjective definition of perfection. I'd rather rebuild my strength while dancing my ass off...literally.”

Olivia Wilde stirred up public criticism when Glamour magazine published her photo breast feeding her son Otis in public. Her response to the public backlash to public breast feeding: “I was shocked that there were still people who find it inappropriate because they think it’s a sexual thing. I think that says a lot about them.” There you have it: this sex symbol celebrity embraced her motherhood, no sexual innuendo in public breast feeding. Since then, she has received out-poured supports from mothers all around the world posting their own breast feeding photos in public. The proud mother of two, Olivia Wilde loves to dance to exercise her mind more than her body. Her natural beauty puts her on the top 20 most beautiful women in the world in 2016.

Knightley told in an interview that she despised exercise and was thankful for her good gene. Talking about her slender figure, Keira Knightley was baffled to be called a “tomboy beanpole”:

“The beanpole bit, is that good? Can you be a sexy beanpole?” She added in another interview: “I don't have a problem with my body. I'm not just going to strip off all my clothing, but if the part calls for it and I don't think there's any way round, I'm absolutely fine.”

Stripping it all, Keira Knightley did in the September 2014 issue of Interview, posed topless without any photoshopped work to draw attention to how "women's bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame."

From a beauty queen to another, Eva Mendes admired Keira Knightley’s beauty and personality: “I’m obsessed with Keira Knightley. I think that she's just got it down. She takes chances, she's edgy, but she's always a lady. She is so unconventionally beautiful.”

Megan Fox

The foxy American actress and model Megan Fox got her career breakthrough role as Mikaela in the blockbuster action movie Transformers (2007 & 2009). The movie instantly put her in the sex symbol stardom with the unforgettable scene of Fox, dressed in tiny outfits, bending over to open the hood of a broken car. Like that was not enough to drive men wild, the 2009 sequel of the Transformers franchise, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, Fox, again in a curve-skimming tiny outfits, lied along the motorcycles showing her God-given foxy body.

The Los Angeles Times called Fox a "sex symbol of the highest order" and "a woman whose hotness has become emblematic of a specific era. Call Megan Fox the first bona fide sex symbol of the 21st century.”

For someone with her fame, Megan Fox lives a very withdrawn social life. Megan Fox dated Brian Austin Green when she was only 18 while he was 30 years old in 2004. They got married in 2010 and had 3 children together. The young Megan Fox felt safe with her relationship with Green versus other men couldn’t see her beyond her look: “I don't trust male intentions, usually, because they don't approach me for intellectual conversation.”

She once revealed that she would have wished to become some sort of an alien species who came to earth to conquer men. She didn’t need to be an alien to achieve that, with her sultry eyes and gorgeous body, she has captivated the world with her beauty. Even though she was considered as a sex symbol, she doesn’t like to flaunt herself out in public like other celebrities: “I can't be naked in front of people.” So how did she feel about her being the most desirable, sexiest, most beautiful celebrity status? She replied in an interview:” I felt powerless in that image. I didn't feel powerful. It ate every other part of my personality, not for me but for how people saw me, because there was nothing else to see or know. That devalued me. Because I wasn't anything. I was an image. I was a picture. I was a pose.”

In “Jennifer’s Body”, a 2009 supernatural horror black comedy film written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama, there was a scene Megan Fox kissing her co-star Amanda Seyfried. But she set the record straight that she was not a lesbian. If she found herself attracting to a female, Megan Fox revealed it would be Olivia Wilde: “Olivia Wilde is so sexy, she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She's mesmerizing.”

The British actress Emma Watson was born April 15th 1990 in Paris and brought up in Oxfordshire. Her best known role was Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series. Emma Watson started to play Hermione when she was only 9 years old. The last Harry Potter, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” released in 2011 when she was 22. Playing the role of Hermione for so long, it consumed almost half of her life. Watson tried to find herself in an adult role to shake off the image of a witty, smart, courageous and lovely Hermione. Emma Watson is described as book-smart, level-headed, clever, compassionate and a bit bossy like her fictional Hermione in real life. Watson uses her public influential image to promote education for girls, visiting Bangladesh and Zambia to spread the importance of being educated to improve quality of life. In July 2014, she was appointed as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.

Her intelligence and compassion add a unique cleverness edge to her beauty. Emma Watson didn’t always like to be the subject of attention. Emma Watson once expressed her thought on her fame: “Most people are really nice but some stare, like you're some kind of zoo exhibit and not a real person with real feelings. Even when you take away all the glamour and attention and premieres and everything, it still comes down to the fact that I'm acting.”

Emma Watson's upcoming project is to play Belle in a 2017 live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast” opposite Dan Stevens as the Beast.
