The concept of ‘beauty’ has changed radically in recent centuries.It is a transformation of 180 degrees!Makeups, hairstyles and more muscular, firm and stylized bodies bind to great freedom of thought and action, innovative fashions, active and ultramodern lives physical care, to modify the image of the woman of the 21st century.

And those who were famous for their beauty in the 50s or 60.

Beauty with scalpel: What aesthetic arrangements do women ask for more?

The legendary ‘BB’!Other modern celebrities have taken their place, and to the plastic surgeons the new patients no longer ask to have Marilyn Monroe's mouth or the perfect features of Catherine Deneuve (whose face, at the time, served as a model for the busts of 'Marianne', the sculpture that represents the French Republic), or the lips of Princess Carolina de Monaco, but the nose of Meghan Markle or Kate Middleton (considered 'mathematically perfect');the eyelids ‘de Paloma’ by Keira Knightley;The breasts of the Kate Upton model (no longer those of Pamela Anderson!), And in general be as similar as possible to Bella Hadid.

To the famous Dr surgeon.Julian de Silva, from the Center for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in London, his patients request the cheekbones of Angelina Jolie, the lips of Penelope Cruz and the Derrière (in addition to the arch of the eyebrows) by Jennifer Lopez.

According to De Silva, his clients "know exactly how they want to look and every day they are more perfectionists and know everything in the world of beauty".Thus, looking beautiful is less ‘traditional’ every day, and although Elizabeth Taylor's face was perfect and had the most wonderful eyes of those years, very few remember her and is classified as an "old" beauty.So I invite you to travel, decade after decade, the most beautiful of each era, and let's see if an icon of the past is still in force.

Historical beauties: How was beauty considered in the past?

In ancient Egypt, the perfection of Queen Nefertiti's face was legendary, and to check is the bust that protects the Neuesum Neuesum from Berlin.Also famous was the Allure of another Egyptian, Cleopatra, which the story describes as a "men's devouring" and, in addition, the sexiest woman of her time.

Before the twentieth century:

Mona Lisa

In the sixteenth, in the Renaissance, the image of "La Gioconda", the famous painting of Leonardo da Vinci, was an example of female grace, although today, surely, it would be seen as an unattractive woman.At that time, in the absence of photographs, art projected the beauty canon that we found in iconic paintings such as "The young woman of La Perla", of Vermeer, or "The Birth of Venus", by Botticelli, which shows the beautiful SimonettaVespucci, the woman with long and curly hair (and very thin for the time!), Which he modeled for the painter.

Isabel i

In the 16th century, in the Elizabethan period in England, female beauty 'hardened', and women, trying to imitate the powerful and very hard monarch, the eyebrows and the beginning of the hair were shaved to make their forehead the forehead;They dyed their hair alive and looked for an uberpalid and touched face, based on white creams that in many cases had poisonous ingredients.It was not a good time for the appearance of women!

Marie Antoinette

In 18th -century France, the image of women was as feminine and baroque as its queen, with complicated pastel colors, tons of jewelry, huge wigs, makeup in pink and even the use of ‘lunares’ fake.Their bodies were described as ‘solid and curvilinear’, but they were not athetic, because they never exercised and their figures were rather flaccid.Fragonard's paintings show females of collected hair, clothes with wide skirts and very fitted, almost always sitting, resting and reading.

Beauties in court

In the nineteenth century, in the Napoleonic Empire, women are released and teach breasts like never before with the risky "empire" style!They also project sensuality to the maximum with daring transparencies and models, since Napoleon worshiped to see his cut -out of half -naked women, and as the Empress Josefina was addicted to the coconut oil masks that he had met on his native island of Martinica, the beauty treatments of beautyThey became popular.

Years 20, 30, 40

Pronounced curves

At the beginning of the 20th century, the female image was marked by the libertine Eduardian period, with voluptuous women of accentuated pompis and small, irreverent and flirtatious waist to the maximum.

In the United States the image of the courtesan was that of the dancer and model Evelyn Nesbit, a girl with morenos hair and provocative figure, who barely 15 years modeled naked for artists like John Singer Sargent and drove two millionaires crazy: her lover, her lover,The well -known architect Stanford White, and her husband, Harry K.Thaw, who in a jealous attack killed the first at the Madison Square Garden and ended in jail!

Children of the choir

The famous New York Chorus girls of Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway established new beauty concepts at the beginning of the 20th century.Sexy girls, half -naked and without a drop of shyness, who not only cut their hair "almost like men", and used very thin eyebrows and red and well -delineated lips, but also taught the legs with pride.

They were called flappers and they wonderfully represented that time.The dancing with furious speed and passion El Chale.Female gyms opened worldwide following the example of Empress Elisabeth ‘Sissi’ of Austria-Hungary, who had an exercise hall at the Vienna Royal Palace.

Display goddesses: the most famous actresses of the time

The queens of the cinema were the ones who set an example with their styles, such as Rita Hayworth and Katharine Hepburn's red hair;the arrogant air and fine eyebrows and arched on intense green eyes of the English Vivien Leigh;The waved hair, the constant smoking and the hoarse voice of Lauren Bacall or the serene air, but cheerful of the Swedish Ingrid Bergman.

Hollywood studies took full care of their images, so that they always appeared without the slightest carelessness and with a 100% perfect makeup.So it was that the young millionaire Gloria Vanderbilt, with a very different style, became one of the most portrayed women and held in the United States;She made an exotic look fashionable, with makeup that accentuated the Asian air of her eyebrows and eyes, and a broad smile, with not so perfect teeth, but that were enormously attractive.

Friend of Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, the New York socialite and designer (mother of the journalist of CNN Anderson Cooper) loved to carry a different and avant -garde fashion, and was portrayed since the age of 15 by the great photographers of the world, such as Cecil Beaton.

50s, and 60

The golden age of great beauties

The 50s was the golden age of the great beauties.Fashion designers such as Balenciaga, Dior, Chanel and Edith Head.It was the best moment of Elizabeth Taylor, with purple blue eyes and protagonist of countless loves, marriages and divorces.Her ex -husband Richard Burton affectionately said she was the most beautiful in the world, "although she had too much chest, the high waist and short legs," and it was true!

It was the years of the arrival of a new beauty style: the wonderful Audrey Hepburn, one of the most admired women in the world, with her black garments of Givenchy, thick eyebrows, large eyes (accentuated by short postpage tabs), and a bodyvery thin, bony and elegant, which became fashionable.In addition to the most genuine and warm smile of the universe!No one like her!

Who were the most famous blonde women in the 50s?

Another famous smile in those years was that of Grace Kelly, owner of a serene and classic beauty and a natural elegance.A high woman, with an average figure, whose face and elegant style were the basis of her appeal.

However, the canons changed to the emergence of the platinum blonde hair of Marilyn Monroe and its sensuality without artifice, sometimes careless, hand in hand with a vulnerable and close personality, which made women and men not only admire it, but also thatThey would also want to protect her.

And let's not forget the mythical Brigitte Bardot, the Parisian imitated by all the girls in the world, and who in the 50s and 60s gained a daring reputation (he undressed in his first film: and God created the woman, directed by hisHusband Roger Vadim), and fascinated everyone with their natural naivety, thick lips and imperfect, but lovely, smile.

The chic style is imposed with Jackie Kennedy

The 60s had a great protagonist: Jackie Kennedy Onassis, who for decades (until his death, in 1994) was a symbol of chic elegance and ‘mystery air’.She made us see that it is not necessary to be perfect: despite having a square face, dark and waved hair (which smoothed), eyes quite glued to the nose and somewhat irregular teeth, which were never 'straightened' with orthodontics,The image I projected was one hundred percent perfect!

70s, 80s and 90s: a serene beauty

In the 70s, the decade of sophistication, actress and model Marisa Berenson was an example of the beauty of the time.The granddaughter of designer Elsa Schiaparelli, was one of the most worshiped by photographers Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton;In addition, Yves Saint Laurent and Halston fought for her to wear her clothes.

Marisa imposed a style of Baroque beauty, with very 'of her' clothes and makeup, and when I once interviewed her at her Nyc house and let me see how she made up (herself!), I had her green eyes-grams., natural curly hair to the Botticelli and the way it moved, just like a sinuous cat.

The change of the beauty paradigm in the 80s

Already in the 30s and 40s, the African -American Joséphine Baker had triumphed with her exotic appeal in Paris, but several decades passed so that black or mestizo beauties conquered the world.It was in the 80s when shocking women, like the very high Somali model iman, almost 1.80 meters, very educated and speaking five languages, or the ‘Fiera’ singer Jamaican Grace Jones, imposed looks in the field of fashion and music;Many even inspired new cosmetics lines "for color skins".

In those years, models like Jerry Hall (then Mick Jagger's wife) and the elegant Carla Bruni (now wife of former President Sarkozy) triumphed flatly in the catwalks and as images of perfumes and jewels.

The Cheryl Tiegs and Christie Brinkley models, stars of the Sports Illustrated swimsuits, with their blond and 100% American style, are also referents of those years.

In the sphere of royalty, Princess Diana was very admired.Its beauty, with a pink and smooth skin 100% English (I have never seen a complexion like hers!), A high and shape figure (which timidly hunched up walking next to lower people than her), a genuine smileAnd the joy of living that overflowed when he was with his children, won the sympathy around the world.

Who have been the most 'rebel' women of the time

The canons of beauty were radically modified with the groundbreaking and irreverent image of Madonna, who transformed his look every day, challenging everyone with their original clothing or hair -colored changes.In books and documentaries, it caused everyone appearing naked and flaunting a free sexuality.

The first women with tattoos that were cool emerged in these years, just like wearing blonde hair with thick black roots, which until then were a ‘no, no’!At this stage, the eyebrows, the finer, the better!And a very young and rebellious Drew Barrymore was also proof of this.

In the 90s the Super Models Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Christy Turlington and Elle Macpherson, and the beauty of actresses, such as Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie.

The concept of beauty in the 21st century

In the not so new century, the universe of beauty has experienced deep changes.Freedom reigns and there are no ‘rules to follow’.Everything is permitted!A great help is the usual use of digital retouching, which can make us look at all ‘beautiful and perfect’.

The same, the world of cosmetics has launched thousands of excellent products for any part of the body!Although we do want to see ‘in flesh and blood’, even young girls pass through the plastic surgeon scalpel and receive the effect of liposuction, fillers ’and botox.The beauty of the 2000 has at your disposal many new techniques.

The era of bloggers and influencers

Now, beauties are singers, actresses, models, socialites and something totally new, bloggers, such as the veteran it girl 'Olivia Palermo, who being moderately pretty, although very photogenic, since 2006 became famous for lifting photos for millions of followers, imposing fashion and recommending beauty items, in addition to traveling through the planet without spending a single penny.

And we can't stop talking about the phenomenon created by the Italian blogger Chiara Ferragni (with 25.6 million followers, where he shows every minute of his life), and whom they hire a large number of international beauty and fashion houses for millionaire figures to be ‘ambassador’ of their products.

The mastery of the Kardashian clan to impose beauty canons

Among the models and reality stars (examples of extravagant styles in the 21st century), we have the multimillion -dollar Kardashian Jenner sisters, including Kim, who is done treatments in the body weekly and recorded them for their television program!;Her sister of her Kylie, owner of a successful beauty line (considered the richest young businesswoman in the world) and the Kendall Jenner supermodel, with 202 million followers on Instagram and the longest legs in the world of modeling.

Today's beauties do not follow rules, but create them.The color of the hair is changed, the breasts are increased or tattoos are made without thinking twice!, As is the case of Paris Jackson and Lady Gaga.Others, like Jennifer Lopez, take care of their body with silk gloves and spending several hours in the gym.In the case of Rihanna and Beyoncé, they both worship their curves, and as they are also sweet, even if they win or lose weight, they do not diet, but they do massages and spend calories dancing!

The royal attractiveness

And in the world of Royals three very different women stand out for their attractive: the 100% English look of Kate Middleton, the mestizo beauty and the style when dressing Meghan Markle (many girls already want to have their nose) and the beautiful CarlotaCasiraghi, who looks like a clone of her mother, Princess Carolina de Monaco.

In 2020 comes the most powerful era of body positivity and the movement of self -love - since you have 15, 25, 40 or 60 years.That is why we have the photos where celebrities show their natural beauty and how they age with grace.
