Banyak daftar Wanita Tercantik yang dikeluarkan oleh berbagai lembaga dan media. Berbagai majalah serta website setiap tahun berlomba-lomba menggelar survey maupun berembuk secara internal untuk menentukan siapa saja wanita tercantik di dunia. TC Candler adalah salah satunya.
Sejak tahun 1990, website ini rutin mengeluarkan daftar The Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces. Uniknya, pemilihan wanita-wanitanya bukan berdasarkan survey, dan bukan juga berdasarkan popularitas sang selebritas. Mereka mengklaim bahwa daftar ini disusun dari ratusan nama seleb dari berbagai penjuru dunia, berbeda dengan daftar lain yang biasanya hanya memuat nama-nama seleb Hollywood saja.
Maka tak heran jika dalam daftar 100 Wanita Tercantik versi TC Candler, seringkali ditemukan nama dan wajah yang kurang familiar. Maklum saja, wanita tersebut adalah seleb yang berasal dari negara-negara "nomor dua" seperti India, Rusia, Israel, dan sebagainya.
Siapa saja wanita-wanita tercantik di dunia pilihan website tersebut? Berikut ini daftar 100 wanita tercantik di dunia.
100. Penelope Cruz
At 36 years of age, the legendary Spanish beauty makes the list for the 6th time in the last 10 years. Look for her unforgettable song and dance routine in her recent film “Nine” to understand why she is so beloved. The Academy Award Winner has one of the highest quality filmographies of any actress of the past decade.
Yearly Rankings: 21 – 12 – 4 – 38 – NR – NR – NR – NR – 75 – 100
99. Esti Ginzburg
The twenty year old Israeli is one of the new “it girls” in the modeling industry. Esti is jaw-droppingly gorgeous and appears on this list for the first time. She is primarily famous for her lingerie and bikini shoots, but we think her face is her best feature. She is here to stay.
Yearly Rankings: 99
98. Yulia Volkova
With her 10th consecutive year on the list, this Russian makes the Beautiful Face Hall of Fame. Yulia’s band, t.A.T.u, seems to have taken a hiatus recently, with Lena off doing her solo project. Lena also appears on the list for the 10th time.
Yearly Rankings: 61 – 42 – 31 – 28 – 5 – 17 – 97 – 91 – 77 – 98
97. Isla Fisher
As long as this 34 year-old Aussie keeps lighting up screens with that incredible smile, she will be on this list. We feel that Isla is this decade’s answer to Meg Ryan. It is virtually impossible not to like her in any film she’s in.
Yearly Rankings: 100 – NR – 58 – 97
96. Frankie Sandford
The prettiest member of British girl-band, The Saturdays, makes the list for the first time. At only 21, it will definitely not be the last. She is one of the few women in the world who has the facial perfection required to pull off a pixie-cut hairstyle.
Yearly Rankings: 96
95. Pixie Lott
With a stunning debut album and some of the most aesthetically pleasing music videos you will ever see, 19 year-old Pixie Lott debuts at 95. She should rise fast in the coming years.
Yearly Rankings: 95
94. Faye Reagan
A redheaded, freckled porn star made the list? Yep… We said it. Faye Reagan did a fantastic “interview” with KassemG on youtube. It is hilarious stuff. If I haven’t convinced you after seeing that — then watch some of her more “artsy material”.
Yearly Rankings: 94
93. Naomi Watts
After peaking at number 8 in 2004, the 42 year-old Miss Watts is still hanging on at #93. We’d like to see her stick around for a few more years. She is one of the best actresses in the world today. Her best film still remains “Mulholland Drive”.
Yearly Rankings: 22 – 19 – 8 – 15 – 27 – 41 – 57 – 49 – 93
92. Lyndsy Fonseca
Lyndsy is popping up in everything these days. The 23 year-old seems to be becoming a huge favorite with producers and directors. No complaints here, as she looks to be a bright new star.
Yearly Rankings: 92
91. Madison Welch
Lucy Pinder has reigned as the British Glamour Model Queen for years… until now. Madison Welch will be gracing the covers of the lads mags for the next few years. Visit the 22 year-old’s official site here.
Yearly Rankings: 91
90. Rachel Bilson
If Rachel would just find more quality projects, I am sure that she would scale new heights on this list. The 29 year-old Californian hand only been in a handful of movies and TV shows over the past 5 years… far less than you would expect.
Yearly Rankings: 73 – 31 – 35 – 71 – 60 – 90
89. Hayden Panettiere
Wladimir Klitschko scores yet another knockout by dating young Hayden. I’ll bet he would take a dive for this beautiful babe. Look for this 21 year-old “Heroes” star to shine in the 2011 film, “The Amanda Knox Story” as the controversial title character.
Yearly Rankings: 69 – 14 – 73 – 64 – 89
88. Natalie Tran (communitychannel)
Hi! The angelic 24 year-old YouTube sensation is one of the most charming and hilarious “new generation celebs”. She has one of the loveliest smiles in the Top 100. Check out her superb channel to understand why she makes this list. (a big thank you to Natalie for the photo!)
Yearly Rankings: 88
87. Bar Refaeli
What does Leonardo DiCaprio have that I don’t? Talent, Wealth, Looks? OK fine… I give up. The 25 year-old Israeli is a swimsuit goddess and is known for being one of the sweetest and smartest girls in the industry.
Yearly Rankings: 87
WINNER: BEST BODY 2010
86. Margarita Levieva
The 30 year-old Russian-born actress is a breath of fresh air in the industry and on this list. She used to be a professional gymnast before going on to star in films like “Adventureland”.
Yearly Rankings: 86
85. Karen Alloy (spricket24)
Usually, insane hotness and goofy humor do not mix. It is a rare combo. Nevertheless, this energetic 33 year-old YouTube funny babe is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Check out her crazy channel.
Yearly Rankings: 85
84. Meghan McCain
The daughter of Senator John McCain is the only Republican I can stand listening to — partly because I am distracted by the hotness and partly because she is reasonably moderate with her views. She gains bonus points for crushing Ann Coulter’s soul on a regular basis.
Yearly Rankings: 84
83. Lady Gaga
We concede that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is easily the most controversial choice on the list. She has a little of that “Christina Aguilera Syndrome” in her — they can both look gorgeous or hideous, depending on the day, the outfit, the make-up and the hair. We chose the up-side. When she gets it right… it works.
Yearly Rankings: 83
82. Katherine Heigl
We just wish she would stop doing the simple rom-coms and live up to her full potential as an actress.At 32, she has been on the list 9 times in 10 years, peaking at #24 in 2008.
Yearly Rankings: 99 – 93 – 94 – 100 – 90 – 95 – NR – 24 – 38 – 82
81. Heather Graam
It’s the first time in 13 years that Heather has ranked outside the Top 50. A few significant drops in recent years means that this may be one of her last appearances on the list.
Yearly Rankings: 27 – 10 – 5 – 11 – 24 – 13 – 11 – 31 – 21 – 26 – 32 – 50 – 81
80. Melissa Theuriau
The French newscaster makes her 4th appearance in as many years. She might be as naturally beautiful as anyone on the list. Why hasn’t the rest of civilization caught on to the fact that pretty female newscasters are far better than crusty old male ones?
Yearly Rankings: 82 – 68 – 31 – 80
79. Kelly Rowland
After living in the Beyoncé shadow for years, Kelly has risen above and now rules the music charts and this chart. Her recent fantastic collaborations with David Guetta have propelled her to megastardom and she is a lovely new addition to the Top 100.
Yearly Rankings: 79
78. Evangelline Lilly
This is a nice return for Lilly, who soared to 4th place when “Lost” was the hottest show on TV. Welcome back! She seemed to get “Lost” on that show — forgoing big movie roles. We hope that she takes the end of series as an opportunity for more exposure.
Yearly Rankings: 29 – 4 – 49 – NR – NR – 78
77. Cheryl Tweedy Cole
It now seems that she is more famous for appearing as an X-Factor judge than her music career. Still, let’s hope Girls Aloud aren’t done for good. Also, she isn’t the only Girls Aloud member on the list in 2010… and she isn’t ranked as high.
Yearly Rankings: 32 – 77
76. Emmanuelle Chriqui
Her role on HBO’s “Entourage” has propelled her back onto this list quite regularly. It is now 6 appearances in 7 years for this natural beauty.
Yearly Rankings: 86 – 77 – 73 – 60 – NR – 79 – 76
75. Jessica Biel
This list is solely about beautiful faces. However, if we did a “best ass list”, Jessica would win it almost every year.
Yearly Rankings: 57 – 34 – 21 – 87 – 54 – 75
74. Victoria Pendleton
The greatest female cyclist in the world also happens to be one of the most beautiful athletes of all time. And she isn’t afraid of a sexy photoshoot either. The gold medalist and record holder enters the Top 100 at 74.
Yearly Rankings: 74
73. Hayley Marie Norman
This gorgeous model makes the list for the second year after her extraordinary #11 debut last time. She is also attempting to transition into the acting world.
Yearly Rankings: 11 – 73
WINNER: BEST HAIR 2010
72. Paz Vega
The sultry Spanish actress makes the list for the 7th time. Make sure to seek out her filmography — there are tons of cinematic gems in there. After her breakout role in “Sex and Lucia”, she debuted at #3 — but she hasn’t returned to those heights since.
Yearly Rankings: 3 – 14 – 15 – 16 – 62 – 95 – 72
71. Katharine McPhee
The American Idol contestant deserves to be far more famous than she already is. The incredible vocalist is also trying her hand at acting, recently co-starring in “The House Bunny” with Anna Faris.
Yearly Rankings: 42 – 5 – 48 – 71
70. Katherine Jenkins
The angelic Welsh singer is a classy addition to the list. Let’s hope it is never “Time to Say Goodbye”. (ugh… terrible joke)
Yearly Rankings: 70
69. Andrea Corr
She topped the list in 1999 and 2002 when her band, The Corrs, were simultaneously topping the charts. The hall of fame beauty is sadly falling down the list but still ranks as a legendary beauty.
Yearly Rankings: 1 – 2 – 3 – 1 – 4 – 6 – 8 – 10 – 11 – 28 – 40 – 69
68. Justine Ezarik (iJustine)
A hot geek!? She became a lock to make this list when she turned up to the Streamy Awards in that pink little number. Check out her great youtube channel.
Yearly Rankings: 68
67. Anna Kendrick
Her performance in Clooney’s “Up In the Air” shot her to worldwide fame. Look for Anna to stay on this list for a very long time.
Yearly Rankings: 67
66. Emma Roberts
We predict that Emma will top this list someday. Like her aunt previously, she is the new “Pretty Woman” and she is a fantastic young talent on her way to super-stardom.
Yearly Rankings: 66
65. Ophelia Lovibond
She reminds me a great deal of Rose Byrne (last year’s #1). She is packed with talent and has a quirky beauty that is hard to deny.
Yearly Rankings: 65
64. Megan Fox
Megan has always been more sexy than beautiful. Sometimes it is hard to make that distinction. Many would have her ranked higher because of that confusion.
Yearly Rankings: 64
63. Vanessa Minnillo
We wish we could see more of this young woman. She is immaculate.
Yearly Rankings: 55 – 16 – 51 – 63

Yearly Rankings: 26 – 3 – 9 – 31 – 41 – 61
60. Giovanna Mezzogiorno
My favorite actress. Giovanna is a mega-talent and one of the most famous Italian actresses of all time. She reached #2 a few years ago. This is her 7th year on the list.
Yearly Rankings: 22 – 2 – 11 – 13 – 11 – 25 – 60

46. Lindsay Lohan
No one has yo-yo’d as much as Lindsay. The former #1 in 2004 (“Mean Girls”), she is making a minor comeback after a few years of significant drops.
