Subjective Versus Objective
Beauty may be subjective, but sometimes it’s hard to deny the fact that a certain few have won the genetic lottery. When it comes to objective attraction, there are some countries that consistently garner praise for hosting beautiful people. While every person should be celebrated for their differences, here are 20 countries ranked in no particular order for hosting gorgeous individuals.
1. Denmark
Danes have often been voted as some of the most attractive people out there. Their beauty standard focuses on Eurocentric features. So if you have an aptitude for symmetrical faces, high cheekbones, and natural blondes, then this is a country worth visiting. Considering the Viking ancestry, the looks add up. Both Scarlett Johansson and Viggo Mortensen come from Denmark.
2. Brazil
Brazil has impressed the world with its natural take on beauty. The beauty standard emphasizes embracing one’s curves. Most denizens have dark hair and tanned skin, which adds up to the warm climate. Aside from the people, Brazil is also home to a chunk of the Amazon Rainforest, meaning there are plenty of reasons to visit. Famous Victoria’s Secret angels Adriana Lima and Gisele Bündchen are both from Brazil.
3. Sweden
Sweden is another country that often gets featured in beautiful country lists. Most Swedes share a similar look: expect soft eyes and blonde hair. Many credit the high standard of living and per capita income as contributing factors to the fact that everyone’s so good-looking. Self-care comes easy when you’re rich.
4. South Korea
South Korea shook typical Eurocentric beauty standards with its take on Asian beauty. Now, many Westerners are flocking to Korean makeup and fashion to mimic staples like glossy lips or puffy eye shadow. South Korea also has a bustling plastic surgery market; however, this can lead to people looking very similar.
5. United States
Plenty of countries look to the United States for beauty inspiration. The country is a big melting pot, which means you’ll find all sorts of different people carving out their own niche of attractiveness—from high-end fashionistas in New York to sun-kissed cowboys in Texas.
6. South Africa
Did you know Charlize Theron is from South Africa? Either way, this country is celebrated for its take on sustainable and organic beauty products, as well as cultural diversity and versatility. This is also another country that embraces natural curvy bodies.
7. Venezuela
Did you know in recent times Venezuela has won more beauty titles than any other country? That is quite impressive, and it adds up when you consider the stunning and bold features most Venezuelans have. Some people get all the luck.
8. Norway
Returning to the Nordics, it adds up that Norway also boasts a lot of beautiful people. Similar to Denmark and Sweden, the high capita gives citizens plenty of time to take care of themselves. To acclimate to cold temperatures, most Scandinavian people take advantage of extensive skincare routines and are quite accustomed to the cold and dry weather.
9. Japan
Many people are eager to visit Japan, as it is one of the most unique countries out there. From bamboo forests to cherry blossoms to cityscapes, Japan has a lot to offer, and the people are no different. From the bold Harajuku street fashion to the traditional grace of the kimonos and geta sandals, there is certainly a lot to appreciate.
10. Ethiopia
Ethiopia is another country that is often praised for its people. The beauty standard focuses on big expressive eyes and long wavy hair, while men prefer well-trimmed beards. Plus, the country’s colorful fashions only add to the appeal.
11. Pakistan
Pakistan has perfectly melded Eurocentric beauty values with its own emphasis on dark and natural features. While they are known to participate in skin whitening and hair straightening, there are plenty of different looks to appreciate. Many people consider those from the Kashmiri region to be the most beautiful.
12. Vietnam
In recent times, Asian individuals have experienced increased attention. While not all of this is founded with good intentions, it’s hard to deny how beautiful Vietnamese people are. The beauty standard involves dark straight hair and pointed faces.
13. United Arab Emirates
While you will find people from all walks of life in the United Arab Emirates, those of Arabic descent in particular are praised for their unique looks. They emphasize dark and deep eyes, and the fashions involve colorful and light materials that help them stand out.
14. Russia
Russia, in particular, is known to host some of the most beautiful people around. Most Slavic countries have this reputation, and it adds up when you consider how glamorous Russian people can be. Unfortunately, many Russians feel they are heavily valued for their looks alone, which is why many put a lot of work into presentation. Famed tennis player Maria Sharapova also comes from Russia.
15. China

17. Argentina
Buenos Aires is a wonderful city known for its beautiful people. Did you know at one point Argentina was known for its high rate of silicone implants? Either way, the fashions often complement natural bodies, and most prefer natural faces to full-makeup looks.
18. Thailand
Thailand is unfortunately another country that practices skin whitening, but regardless, many of the people are beautiful either way. They emphasize dark soft eyes and dark hair and aim for lithe or fit body shapes.
19. Australia
A vacation to Australia is a must for most foreigners. Known for its wild coast and beautiful beaches, Australia can be a bit intimidating at first glance. But the locals are perfectly acclimated to life in the sun. The beauty standard involves tanned skin and toned bodies fit for surfing.
