The best British beauty icons

Like our very own homegrown beauties, there are a lot of simply stunning ladies living on foreign shores. And since today we’re celebrating the Queen’s Birthday, we take a look at some of the most beautiful British women in the biz.

Who knew they were such a gorgeous bunch?


Kate Moss

Britain’s most iconic supermodel, Kate’s beauty is like no other. It’s her slightly crooked teeth, the odd freckle or two and indefinable quirk that make her the “It girl” of our era.

Adele

When it comes to the perfect winged liner, there are very few who could outdo Adele. And with her jaw-droppingly big, beautiful voice (and soul to match), there’s nothing we don’t love about this retro-inspired British lass.

Alexa Chung

Whether she’s giving a classic bob edge with choppy, face-framing layers or pairing an inky cat-flick with a natural glow, Alexa’s cult cool-girl status is going nowhere.

Emily Blunt

Though she’s experimented with a number of hair colours over the years (and somehow manages to pull them all off), it’s her chocolate-coloured locks paired with her alabaster skin and pale blue eyes we love the most.

Lily Collins

With her striking brows, petite features and big brown eyes, Lily is one alarmingly beautiful Brit. Her chin-skimming bob is a bold statement, but still stays super ladylike, youthful and flirty.
