I thought I would start a thread were we can post our favourite beauties, both classic and unconventional. Who is your favourite in each category? Which kind of beauty do you prefer? Which category are you most like?
 
Idk why, but I actually find Lady Gaga quite special. Her body is pretty nice, but also her face is so unique.

However, not fan of the things she has done to her face:

In my opinion Sigrid is a classic beauty:

Karlie is an unconventional/unique beauty:

I thnk Sigrid is an amazing classic beauty too, but I think Karlie is a little more classic than really unconventional like lily cole or Sasha Pivovarova:luv:

While I agree all of these girls have beauty, I think some of the definitions of classic/ unconventional aren't quite on the money. Maybe I misunderstood the question, and it's just what we think, but the whole point of classic is precisely that it isn't as subjective as unconventional. Classic features are a symmetrical oval shaped face, tapered jawline, straight nose, high cheek bones, large eyes and full hair. Karlie is absolutely a classic under this. Audrey has become a classic beauty in the sense she has an enduring appeal, but it is her overall elgance, rather than face that give her her timelessness. She has a square jawline, and thick straight brows, as opposed to classically full arched ones. Both are completely lovely to me, but there's a difference between classic as in 'classical' (stems from Roman-Rennaissance perceptions of beauty), and classic as in 'iconic'.
 
I don't think I can tell the difference very well - I tend to thing 'classical = boring', so I'll stick with someone I'm sure of...
