The Fairest of Them All: Ten Tanless Beauties

By Angela Vertucci

It’s true that beauty comes in all different shapes, ages, and sizes, but there is something that these ten gorgeous ladies all have in common—their snow white skin. Read on to find out what some of their many best features are.

Anne Hathaway

This stunning leading-lady and Oscar nominee is known for her performances in “Love and Other Drugs,” “Rachel Getting Married,” and “The Devil Wars Prada.” She is often spotted with her long locks styled in loose waves and parted down the center. Big brown eyes and a star-powered smile are among her most beautiful features. Look for Anne in the upcoming films “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Les Misérables.”

Amanda Seyfried

While she is known for her roles in movies like “Mamma Mia” and “Dear John,” it comes as no surprise that this fair-haired beauty got her start in modeling. We first fell in love with her when she played the stereotypical dumb blond in “Mean Girls,” and coincidentally, her long golden hair is one of her best features (along with her heart-shaped pout). Amanda will be staring in the upcoming film “Lovelace” and joining Anne Hathaway in “Les Misérables.”

Scarlett Johansson

As famous for her status as a Hollywood bombshell as she is for her roles in films like “He’s Just Not That into You” and “The Avengers,” Scarlett has an obvious place on this list of pale beauties. Her voluminous lips and curvy physique make her an icon, and before walking the red carpet, she often plays up her best facial feature and ethereal white skin with bright red lipstick.

Kristen Stewart

As the shining star in the newly released “Snow White and the Huntsman,” Kristen is definitely among ’the fairest of them all.’ She is best known for her role as the human-turned-vampire Bella Swan in the ‘Twilight’ Saga, another character whose most notable physical attribute is her alabaster skin. Kristen’s tousled tresses are her most beautiful feature.

Dakota Fanning

Though she got an early start by acting in movies like “War of the Worlds” and “Uptown Girls,” this sweet-faced starlet is all grown up and knows how to own her exquisite beauty. Dakota’s porcelain skin is one of her strongest features, and while she is on top of the soft and simple makeup trend, she has totally rocked the thick black eyeliner look for more recent roles in “The Runaways” and the ‘Twilight’ Saga films.

Avril Lavigne

This pop-punk princess is an icon for unconventional beauty, making her even more apply suited for this list of beautiful pale celebrities. Known in her youth for her tomboy appearance, her style and look quickly evolved, with a complete transformation when the platinum recording artist went platinum blonde. Avril’s girl-next-door smile, which adds a subtle softness to her edge, is easily her most beautiful feature.

Marcia Cross

Television just kissed her and her Wisteria Lane neighbors goodbye as the series “Desperate Housewives” came to its dramatic end. Marcia is as worthy of a spot on our list of fair-skinned beauties as she was of a place among D.H.’s gorgeous cast. Her angular bone structure and shocking red hair rival each other as the features that make her most beautiful.

Zooey Deschanel

This fair-skinned brunette is most famous for her role in the movie “(500) Days of Summer” and the TV series “New Girl.” Her contrastive coloring makes her stand out, and her bright blue eyes are her most notable feature. Zooey’s indie style and playful sheath of bangs give her a classic, throwback look.

Emma Stone

Emma’s career took off with the debut of her film “Easy A” and progressed at a fast pace with movies like “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and “The Help.” We would love her just for her dynamite acting ability and funny-lady antics, but the ‘Amazing Spiderman’ star is also a knockout. Among her most beautiful features are her sharp blue eyes, high cheekbones and warm smile.

Taylor Swift

It’s hard to believe that America’s sweetheart was once dumped by friends in junior high who didn’t think she was pretty or popular, as she reported to People Magazine. Now the 22-year-old is known, not only for her six Grammy Awards and successful country music career, but her stunning beauty and role as a Covergirl. Taylor’s bright blue eyes and big corkscrew curls are what set her apart.
