According to a recent piece in the Telegraph, a new poll acknowledges all that and names Angelina Beauty Icon of the Decade. Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman, even if her beauty is what many call “unconventional.” However, what the actress has brought new to the table is an attitude that made her stand apart from all the other women in showbiz, thus building for herself a larger than life persona that continues to fascinate fans and even get them into bitter disputes.
The poll, conducted by Superdrug, included answers from 3,000 respondents, the majority of them also saying that it’s Jolie’s “strong character” that entitles her to the distinction. Jennifer Aniston, ironically enough, Brad Pitt’s ex before becoming an item with Jolie, comes in second, followed by Kylie Minogue, Catherine Zeta Jones and Cheryl Cole. Still, it’s diversity of all kinds that makes this poll different from others of its kind, Steve Jebson, commercial director for Superdrug, notes for The Telegraph.
“Angelina Jolie is not a conventional beauty but her strong character shines through her fabulous features to give her a unique standing in the beauty world. It’s worth noting that while everyone talks about Angelina’s pout we find that its her long thick lustrous hair that really makes British women envious, as well as a figure made for red carpet posturing,” Jebson explains.

“This is the third time we have run an annual poll to find the face of the year, with previous winners including Cheryl Cole and Keira Knightley. This year to celebrate the new decade we decided to look past the face du jour and see who has really struck a beauty chord. But the message from our stores for 2010 is you don’t have to be a film star or celebrity to be a beauty icon,” a spokesperson for Superdrug adds.
Beyonce, Liv Tyler, Megan Fox, Kate Beckinsale, Joanna Lumley, Halle Berry, Myleene Klass and, of course, Scarlett Johansson have also been voted as gorgeous women who have shaped this decade in terms of beauty trends.
