The Most Striking Faces

I was watching a music video the other day, and I thought - not for the first time - how beautiful the singer's face is. Then I realized that I tend to have "favorite faces" when it comes to actors or singers or models. And I wonder what makes a face memorable to a person? I've also noticed that I tend to be most enchanted with dark haired, dark eyed people. Is it because I'm fair and blond, and opposites attract? Who knows?

This is just a fun thread to talk about beautiful, striking, or otherwise amazing famous faces. It can be someone current, someone from years past, it doesn't matter! Whose face never fails to make you go "WOW" when you see it? It doesn't even have to be about beauty, if they just strike you in some way... tell us about it here. And include pictures!

Note* Please stick to faces... if you wanna drool over someone's hot body, this is not the thread for that

I'll start with...

...Jennifer Connelly!


Yes, she's been gorgeous throughout her career, but when she was a teen, she was just breathtaking. Granted, the incredible hair and costume really added to her beauty in the lovely ballroom scene in "Labyrinth"

Winona Ryder


Crazy train antics aside, she's got a timeless face. Delicate and sort of sad, with those big, soulful eyes.

Shania has a brilliant smile. You can't beat it.

Joan Fontaine



With her pouty smile and that one arched eyebrow and those lidded eyes.. she comes across as sweet and sad at the same time.


Grace Kelly

She could come across cold and strong...



...but her smile is infectious and playful!

Forgive me, Britain, but I don't see anything really attractive in either of their faces... Kate has a sweet smile, but that's about it for me. Sorry!

Their hearts make them beautiful.

However, I find them physically beautiful too.

I understand about their hearts, but the thread is about faces... I know you find them physically beautiful, too, so that counts.



Emma Watson has an incredible face.


The way her mouth naturally turns up at the corners makes her look infectiously mischievous and cute. She's been cuteness personified ever since she was cast as Hermione for "Harry Potter" at just 9 years old. Can't believe she's 24 now!!

Lily Collins



She's so pretty it's almost mind-bending. No one else in the world could pull off those thick eyebrows, but on her, they just add to her striking beauty. A perfect pick for Snow White!
