Top 10 Hottest Raven-Haired Beauties: Iconic
Special thanks to our user MikeyP for submitting the idea on our Suggestion Tool at http://www.WatchMojo.comsuggest
#10: Diana Ross
Today we make a 'supreme' start with one of music history's most iconic women, a pioneering pop star, and an exceptionally attractive lady! For Diana Ross is all three of these rolled into one! Former lead singer of ‘60s vocal group "The Supremes", Ross is perhaps the biggest reason as to why African-American R&B was allowed to thrive as it did! She's donned all sorts of hairstyles over the years, and she's looked stunning in each and every one!
#9: Demi Moore
Our next raven is a record-breaking money-earner, and one seriously good-looking lady! Demi Moore raised more than a few eyebrows when she pocketed $12.5 million to star in the 1996 film "Striptease" - a sum which made her the highest paid-actress in history up until that point! A film that helped cement her 'iconic' status forever, the movie might've flopped a little, but there are certain scenes well worth repeating over and over and over again... You know the ones we mean!
#8: Catherine Zeta-Jones
An icon of the '90s and noughties, Catherine Zeta-Jones' hair is jet black - and Catherine Zeta-Jones in general is just beautiful! An Oscar winner for her role in "Chicago" (in which she sensationally sported a bob!), she's also well known for her part in "The Mask of Zorro" and for donning an especially, fantastically figure-hugging attire in "Entrapment"! Married to Michael Douglas, she's one half of one of Hollywood's most powerful couples... And she's made Mr. Douglas a most envied man!
#7: Pam Grier
Our seventh placer has been turning heads ever since the 1970s, when she began her acting career by starring in the blaxploitation pictures that were popular at the time! Pam Grier also played the 'woman in prison' role on more than one occasion, perhaps most notably in "The Big Bird Cage"... More modern audiences know her best as the title role in Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown", but all generations should take the time to see her as the eponymous "Foxy Brown" - that movie's a rollercoaster of raven-haired hotness!
#6: Aishwarya Rai
Next, to an icon of Bollywood cinema and a former wearer of the Miss World Crown! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan won this planet's most prestigious beauty pageant in 1994, and used her success as a springboard into acting - starring most famously in films such as "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Devdas". A much decorated star of Indian cinema and one of India's most popular celebrities, Bachchan is a beautiful as she is successful... And she's very successful!
#5: Cher
So iconic she goes by but one name, Cher seems to have been a leading light within almost every aspect of the entertainment industry at various points throughout her career! A pop star to begin with, she's since tried her hand at TV, film acting, fashion and directing - gaining awards and acclaim in every field! She's had more highs and lows than most, and she might want to 'turn back time', but whatever generation you're affiliated with, you wouldn't be alone in wishing 'she got you... Babe'!
#4: Halle Berry
A modern actress and maker of many an iconic moment, Halle Berry is hot without question! Well worth 'dying another day' for, this one-time Bond babe has kept hundreds of thousands of pulses racing throughout her career! An Academy Award winner for "Monster's Ball", her cloud had a sexy silver lining as she played Storm in the "X-Men" franchise, and all puns aside she was perfect looking in "Catwoman"! Still her most scintillating moment has to be that scene in "Swordfish" though! How the hell Hugh Jackman notices the wire we'll never know!
#3: Bettie Page
Regularly referred to as the 'Queen of Pinups', Bettie Page steps onto our podium with style, aplomb, and something a little different! Modelling most prolifically throughout the 1950s, Page was a pioneer for alternative style, and she's still seen as a trendsetter of sorts, over half a century later within the modern world! What with her trademark bangs, her blatant desirability, and her famous brushes with bondage, Page demanded attention and deservedly got it! There will likely never be another model like her!
#2: Naomi Campbell
One of six late '80s/early '90s models for which the term 'supermodel' was actually coined, Naomi Campbell was arguably the most 'super' of them all! During the height of her career, there seemed no magazine cover, no catwalk, no commercial that she couldn't star in! With raven hair almost as long as her trademark legs, Campbell was wanted by almost every high-end fashion outlet on the planet - and is it any wonder?? A winner on the runway, she's runner-up today!
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
- Rose McGowan
- Beverly Johnson
- Joan Jett
- Gong Li
#1: Elizabeth Taylor
For our gloriously gorgeous gold medal winner, we head back into Hollywood's 'Golden Age'... Elizabeth Taylor was an undisputed icon for her generation, and she continues to be an inspiration today! A Dame of the British Empire, she won two Academy Awards for Best Actress, is considered a legendary film star, and boy is she lovely to look at! Her dark hair perfectly complimented by her famous dark blue eyes and 'double eyelashes', she's perhaps most well known for playing Cleopatra, and she takes our throne today!
