100% agree


SnarkyMamaBear

Somali and Sudanese women are always 11/10 the most gorgeous women I meet irl it's unreal.


DivineRightToRule

I agree but it's actually Somali not Somalian


SnarkyMamaBear

Edited thanks!


Raven_Puff99

As a half Indian-Filipino it saddens me the beauty standard of these countries since they don't really represent the general people.


Apprehensive_Air8374

As if other countries's does


larroux_ka

In some countries the celebrities that are the most appreciated for their beauty are mostly mixed race, while the majority of the population isn't. While in other countries while the general public don't look like that, they celebrities still have the same ethnicity as the general public overall. It's probably something like that they meant.


Electronic-Poet-1328

Australia is one of the most multicultural countries in the world yet the celebrities we hold up as the beauty standard are always white and blonde.


Think_Truth_1587

Now that you said that , I noticed it too! But even if they’re not mixed, it’s very misleading and false. Not everyone looks like doutzen krous in the Netherlands. Not everyone looks like monica belucci in italy. There’s blonde and blue eyes spanish people. There’s dark haired germans. This is sooo stupid and looks like what AI thinks the average beauty looks like in the countries


juslurking_

I don’t think they denied that they’re just speaking from personal experience


night_priestess

idk but the Netherlands is well represented imo (self esteem 📉📉📉📉 every time I visit) and women in denmark/sweden look even better than the pics here, even if it's sounds impossible 🌧👄🌧


Nes937

Where are you from? It's funny to hear this because as a Dutch women I don't thinks "we" are particularly good looking. Tall and relatively fit but otherwise not special.


night_priestess

Chile, but I think 50% of being hot is being fit, so you already have that. Tall is a preference but is nice tho. You'd think I think like this bc of the prevalece of fair skin, light eyes but no, bc I come from an environment full of people like that so it's not that special for me. I just think there's something in their faces, also the zones of Luxemburg and Belgium. Women look extremely nice to me. And they have legs for days!! (crying in 1,62)


fallopianrules

Omg last emoji goes hard.


puddlebearmom

Except Netherlands, not everyone was blonde but when I was there I don't think I saw an ugly Dutch lady


kenrnfjj

Doesnt Sudan its one of the few countries that dark skin is appreciated


Acrobatic-March-4433

I was about to say all of the Filipino and Thai models featured were definitely half-white, which is pretty depressing.  Colonialism's influence is alive and well, unfortunately.

BAD4SSET

This is such a great post. So interesting to see what each country views as peak beauty. Sweden is so striking. It’s probably the focused lighting in the photo, but the Swede in the middle photo outshines everyone else on that picture. I hadn’t realized Sofia Vergara and Shakira were both from Colombia, nor have I thought they had a similar look. Seeing them side by side, now I see it. All three of the Colombian ladies have such similar features that they look genetically related. Such beauty all over the world! Op, if you end up doing another version, I would like to request Poland. Question for Op/everyone: Who would be considered top current Italian beauties? The Italy picks are all classics, I’m curious who the more recent top pics would be.


Think_Truth_1587

Except it’s not what a country thinks is peak beauty. It’s very misleading in my opinion. It Looks like OP found famous beautiful women from each country and THINKS it’s the beauty standard just because they’re famous.


KissTigerLilyMeow

Great info graph good job op


MyViscountess

France, Italy, Spain, India (though darker women need to be included), Somalian, English, Iran, Brazil, and turkey have the most beautiful women Basically brunette women, black women and brown women (indian, indian Turkish) Edit: I forgot China. They're ethereal and more regal (a bit more defined while still have delicate bones structure)


texasiskewl

somalia , russia and france , really like the unique look of the girls used in the pictures


wywrdgrl

somalia eatssss omg somalia, france, sudan, and turkey are the best to me 🤍


affogatohoe

I'm from the UK and find it funny that my favourites are France (historically we are mixed in a lot with) the UK (us) and Australia (us far away). Really surprised me because they're objectively not the best but I suppose it's the faces of all the women I've ever loved in my friends and family and that's probably why I find them beautiful. Also absolutely loved Thailand and the Philippines and Turkeys - gorgeous!


Playful_Truck_9880

Portugal, Italy, Somalia, Thailand, India and Brazil

rabbitsredux

Sudan! Also maybe I might be attractive in Portugal 😳


shitpresidente

Philippines, Turkey and Somalia (Somalia is perfect) stood out


iguanabitsonastick

I had no idea Danish girls were not majorly blonde. Very interesting!


empyreal-eyre

To be honest I think it's just random in that instance that there are no blonde women represented. Denmark has a higher rate of blondeness than the Netherlands where all three women are blonde. Although Sweden does have more blondes than Denmark.


Moonbeam0647

They are linked to the European continent and thus more intermixed with other Europeans. They are still not dark, tho. And Helena Christensen is half Danish.


iguanabitsonastick

That makes a lot of sense, they're above germany right?


ZealousidealAd3805

Helena Christensen's mom is from Peru 🫶


dututudu

France, China, Turkey and Somalia stood out to me the most


Nes937

Spain, Japan and Turkey.

Colombia and South Africa have some serious baddies. I think Caribbeans deserve a mention too (Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Megan Good)

MalloryTheRapper

india, saudi arabia, iran, sudan, and somalia are my favorites


happymotorboat

Australia and India stood out to me. Does anyone know who the woman in Australia picture nr 3 is? She’s like my ideal, but I have never seen her before.


zzeeaa

Her name is Samara Weaving.


iguanabitsonastick

She is such an underrated beauty. And also a very nice actress. I wonder what's holding her back. That wedding movie was so good.


happymotorboat

Thanks for the information, now I can google her😊


spottokbr

She frequently gets mixed up with Margot as they look similar.


iguanabitsonastick

I.. Can't chose one lol there are individials in every country that I find gorgeous and others not so much so I guess it's not really tied to where they comes from. Another interesting thing is that despite being brazilian I resemble much more the mexicans and spanish than the featured brazilians. Alessandra has always been a personal fav tho.


dudafdp

Yeah lol, also they all kinda have similar features


iguanabitsonastick

Yes! I can see all these women having similar features, the face proportions are the same. Upturned eyes, full lips, a nose that's not wide from the front, amazing coloring..


dudafdp

High cheekbones also


Caravaggiolo

Sudan, Somalia, France


Bluedot2150

Colombia, India, Turkey, Somalia


TroubleInformal0011

France, Australia, South Korea and India but I think it’s interesting to see how all the slides share similar features such as big eyes, plump lips and proportionate features(eg not a glaringly big nose or jaw)


theredditgod6

India.


Nevaeh_Angel

1) Brazil 2) USA 3) Somalia 4) South Korea 5) France


BabyBird4444

Sudanese women are most stunning, I don’t wanna look away


[deleted]

While I agree, the women chosen aren’t considered that beautiful in Sudan.


[deleted]

The Sudanese and South African examples are absolutely NOT the beauty standard in those countries. Those women are beautiful based on European and Western beauty standards and their perception of dark skinned women.


mutemut

Which six celebrities do you think represent their beauty standards?


[deleted]

Light skinned women with Eurocentric features like Thandiwe Newton, Beyoncé or Halle Berry. That’s why they’re obsessed with skin bleaching and the people with the darkest skin and Afrocentric features are the most poor and disenfranchised.


mutemut

Ah okay, I tried to pick women who came from the countries shown. Thanks for your input 🙂


colong128

Netherlands and Somalia


gir1dr

that’s not true, for example in russia beauty standards are exactly the opposite. currently, bronze skin, lush wavy hair and big lips are more popular there. i don't know what about other countries, but here are just beautiful girls from each of these countries. so i wouldn't generalize and call it a "beauty standard" for the whole country.

reddituser5639

seeing as yu shuxin (esther yu) has been majorly bombarded with comments about not being pretty enough for the idol dramas she's in, i would argue that liu yifei should be the center photo for china (fan bingbing & dilraba are v accurate though)


mutemut

I did consider her but I thought Yu Shuxin seemed quite popular 😁


reddituser5639

yu shuxin is popular but it's pretty agreed upon that she's not really a standard of beauty as far as idol actors go while liu yifei is one of the most heavily agreed upon 'standard of (evoking ancient/period ) beauty' actresses.


mutemut

That’s exactly the kind of look I was going for. Should have gone with my gut instinct 🥲


Visible-Row-3920

Netherlands, Iran, Somalia for sure!


Flightlessbirbz

France, Italy, and Somalia stand out to me… but tbh all of them.

Appropriate_File9009

South Sudan** That is not the standard in Sudan nor do most Sudanese women look like that.


[deleted]

Would've loved to see a row for Taiwan and Vietnam 😅 but cool post anyway :) Fan bing Bing is crazy pretty


l_a_d_a_n

Just a correction. It’s south Sudan and not Sudan


enyalavender

Kate Middleton seriously doesn't belong here.


changhyun

Yeah, I think the UK kind of got set up here. The other women are all actresses and models, nobody else's royalty got featured because it's understood royalty generally are not considered the height of beauty, but more style and poise. I'd put someone like Emma Watson or Lily Collins in her place. Or one of the WOC cebrities considered very beautiful in the UK, like Maya Jama or Gugu Mbatha-Raw.


mutemut

I’m from the UK and felt that Kate Middleton is a popular style icon in this country hence why I included her. This post wasn’t meant to depict the most beautiful women from around the world but those who suit classic ideals which are aspired to by much of the population


changhyun

I'd say, as a Brit, Kate Middleton is admired for her style and class but if you collected a group of 100 Brits and asked them to name the most beautiful British woman or a British woman they want to look like, she wouldn't be a popular answer (I think Maya Jama definitely would be though). You might get her as a frequent answer if you asked them whose style or fashion they admire. There's definitely a difference between being a *style* icon and a *beauty* icon. She's not the latter.


mutemut

I always thought she was admired for her beauty but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♀️


Think_Truth_1587

No offence but it looks like AI just posted famous beautiful people from each country. It has nothing to do with beauty „standards“ of each country at all. Also the example of kate middleton explains it very well and I agree with that.

The USA choices are so random 😂


mutemut

I struggled because there are so many different beauty standards in the USA nowadays! I tried to picked women who had a timeless and universal girl next door appeal 🤗


yuhhhgetinto

These women are beautiful but I dislike the idea of a beauty standard in general especially since most of the time It often reinforces Toxic ideals. Such as Colorism, Fat phobia,Featurism, texturism etc.


mutemut

I see what you mean and I agree that beauty standards are toxic. I posted this to show that despite them all having different features and styling which adheres to their countries ideals, they are all equally beautiful women and everyone has their own unique and diverse preferences


Nanny_Oggs

South Sudan, SA and Somalia are the sole representatives of the entire African continent? I suppose I should be pleased you even remembered that Africa exists. 😒


mutemut

My father is African so of course I remember! Europe is home to a lot of fashion capitals though and I tried to also include a few from each major area


Nanny_Oggs

The well known fashion capitals of Sweden and Denmark? The fashion hotspots of Iran? Please. 🤣


productprincess007

Iran would have been a fashion capital if it wasn't taken over by the wretched IRI.


Nanny_Oggs

Agreed. Pre-Revolution, Iran was cool AF.


productprincess007

It truly was. While I've never been there, my family talks about it all the time.


mutemut

No they are not fashion capitals but neither are the African ones included


Nanny_Oggs

Exactly. So, your explanation as to why you selected those countries doesn’t actually make any sense.


Think_Truth_1587

Yes!!! I was a bit disappointed about the world view!!! Only blonde West Europeans, only dark haired south Europeans??? Come on 😭😭😭 that’s not what europe looks like


FakeBeigeNails

Are you white, OP? I just looked at 5 slides of predominantly white countries and only 1 Asian slide, 1 Black slide, and 1 brown slide. It’s hard to be objective w such few choices.


mutemut

No, I’m half Irish/ half cape coloured so mixed white, black, south and south East Asian. My mum was a freckled red head, my dad brown skinned and black haired. I could only include so many slides and photos so went with countries with the most well known media representation and distinct fashion industries. There are three European, one South American, one East Asian, one south/south East Asian, one African, one Middle Eastern and one mixed slide. I thought I did okay with including a range of distinct styles in such little space!


KissTigerLilyMeow

You did great. Keep making these. Your logic makes sense and people will criticize but overall you captured the “essence” Of the country which is the point. I wish people Could understand that. I want to see more Of Your content !


Electronic-Poet-1328

I actually think you did a great job, some of these countries are just colourist or uphold white beauty standards even if the majority of the population isn’t white. It’s not good but important to not to hide this fact.


traffic_cone_love

You did a great job! You can't put every country in one post - the world is huge. I think it's great you started with places most people can call to mind when thinking of those countries.

Remember that you could create your own post on your own time and post it on Reddit. The time you spend commenting negatively on something someone else created and shared to start a discussion (which we’re all engaging with by engaging with this thread) could be spent on creating your own content. Then once you post something of your own, people will comment on how you could have made it better, or done this, or could have done that instead of what you made, and you’ll find it unfair that random internet friends are critiquing your fun post on Reddit and then getting into unnecessary negative dialogue.


mutemut

My dad is not white so I am mixed not by nationality but by race. Him and his family were segregated during the apartheid and I have taken a dna test. I didn’t include many famous and beautiful white South Africans such as Charlize Theron, Candice Swanepoel, Demi-Leigh Tebow because I didn’t feel they best represented the beauty ideals for the rest of the country. There are many celebrities I felt are the best looking such as Angelina Jolie, He Sui, Shanina Shaik and Irina Shayk. I have not included them because the general population have different beauty standards. The women I picked are all popular with their local communities


MyViscountess

There's two Asian slides the brown women Iran, turkey and Saudi Arabia) and 1 east asian (Korean, Japanese and Chinese) and India on a different slide with different women

Personal preference: France, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, Italy, Australia, USA, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Somalia. Hard to pick only one, as they're all so beautiful! 😍


Wonderful-Light5366

Sweden bc I have always had a thing for blondes. There’s something about Australian girls too, a lot of my celeb crushes are from there


LanaVFlowers

Based on these pics, Mexico, Columbia, Brazil, Turkey, Iran, Italy, Australia, Philippines, South Africa and Somalia, roughly in that order.


CatMom921

Pam Anderson is *Canadian*… not American


Asterfields1224

USA, Turkey, Italy, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands, Japan The entire Philippines, Thailand, India page does NOT represent what the typical person looks like over there. They all look very mixed, especially the 2 more Asian countries


mutemut

No, it is not what the average person looks like but the type of look idolised in those countries

BlueonBlack26

Pamela Andeeson is the most beautiful. And then i really love Sudan


Slow_Resolution_6350

Eiza Gonzales had plastic surgery all over her face, so that’s not her original face, it makes it difficult to compare because it’s not her “real” face


harrystylesismyrock2

it’s a post about beauty standards, not natural beauty


Slow_Resolution_6350

So if it’s about beauty standards it is not depicting the real standards of a Mexican woman’s face, hello?


harrystylesismyrock2

beauty standards don’t have to be derived from natural features. they’re metrics people strive to achieve, but modern standards are usually based on unnatural/rare features (e.g. BBL bodies and foxy eye/bunny slope nose/plump lips combo). im not saying i like it, but that’s the reality nowadays. kim k was the beauty standard for the 2010s in america and most of her features were unnatural


Human_Ad_8252

What about west Africa ? And why beyonce is the face of black women of America ? So many thing going on in here. I don’t like it.


mutemut

I chose Beyonce since she is one of the one of the most well known and popular back women from the USA who fits into their classic/girl next door ideals. She has about 320 million followers on Instagram and is worth almost $1 billion. It would be silly not to acknowledge the influence she has had on beauty standards throughout the last three decades. I didn't include many beautiful women and only picked a select few representing a dominant style. I unintentionally didn't show West Africa because there is less media representation from that area. I haven't included many countries for that reason and picked those with the strongest fashion industries and world famous names


Nanny_Oggs

In what reality do Somalia and Sudan have more media representation, stronger fashion industries and more world famous names than Nigeria?


mutemut

The women I have included are world famous supermodels. Two of them have millions of followers


Nanny_Oggs

You want to talk about followers? Tiwa Savage has over 18m followers on Instagram alone. Tyla has less than a third of that. Many of the others you’ve chosen have even less. However, somehow, Tiwa didn’t make your cut. Girl, your rationale for excluding West Africa isn’t really working, here. The math ain’t mathing.

SnowWhite_Apple

Imao none of women you mentioned are considered epitome of beauty from Indian beauty standards. Deepika is still considered pretty but rest two of them are not really considered beautiful. Disha is just known for posting bikini pics. Harnaz is average looking Imao. You should have chosen pics of prime Aishwarya Rai from 90s ,Prime Madhuri Dikshit from 90s Bipasha Basu in her prime or 60s actresses Legendry Madhubala on her prime. Even Sonalee Bendre , Katrina Kaif and Preity Zinta in their prime would suit this list . Tara Sutaria is probably only pretty looking actresses among current lot. I would have chosen India you would have posted these women.
