40 Most Beautiful Women In The World - 2021

We've all heard the saying "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" and indeed it does. We all have our own different views and notions of beauty.

Let's begin our article with a quote from Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), one of the most beautiful women this world has ever seen:

The beauty in a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart; the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

Beauty lies in everyone and everything. But we have to agree that some women are blessed with captivating good looks. 

So without further ado, let's take a look at 40 of the most beautiful women in the world in 2021.
