What famous GG would you consider your glamour idol?

[Davina Diamond]

For me it has to be Hayden Panetierre -

http://www.haydenpanettiereweb.com/pictures/hayden-panettiere-1.jpg

I just think she always looks amazing, has flawless makeup and a gorgeous wardrobe.

What about you girls?

Davina, X

[kaleyg]

catherine zeta-jones comes to mind -- there are others, tho . . .

[Davina Diamond]

Yeah there will always be others kaley, hehe

Catherine is a good choice tho, x

[Barbara Dugan]

Annie Lennox a solid Diva
116869

[Davina Diamond]

Totaly agree barbara and she's from the same area in scotland as me :D

I like how she carries different looks from masculine to complete femininity.

When I did my makeup earlier it kinda looked liked hers in that pic too with the bold pink/lilac eyeshadow,x

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Kaley

Catherine Zeta-Jones

I must agree she has all the right stuff in all the right places.

Orchid

[Jennygurl]

I love Hayden too. I think for me has to be Mandy Moore.
She is very sweet and cute and has always looked good.

I want my hair to look like hers :)

[Angiemead12]

My GG SO! And there is always Angelina Jolie :love:

[Tara Lutschich]

Right now, Miranda Kerr cover photo on GQ June 2010 issue.

http://showstalker.net/2010/05/miranda-kerr-gq-magazine-june-2010/

but then the classic beauty of Marion Cotillard on the cover of Vogue July issue is stunning.

[Hannah_Rose]

Living in the south and being a fan of music. I'd have to say Carrie Underwood.

http://www.totalhair.net/hairstyles-blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/carrie-underwood-43-cma-th.jpg

[Maryesther M.]

Someone got there before me. Catherine Zeta-Jones for me. Her roles in 'Entrapment' and 'Chicago' demonstrate that she hasn't just got a pretty fsce...her gymnastic ability is unsurpassed, too.

[Diane Elizabeth]

For it me I would go back to the late 60's/ early 70's. Dyan Cannon. She had the looks as much as anyone today. But it was her personality that I loved. Then Farrah came along.

[NV Susan]

Oh, for me it would be Crystal Gayle.....

[Monica73]

Mine is definately Reese Witherspoon. Although I'm hispanic so not sure that would work...but she is just stunning!

[jennifermay]

I would have to go back to the 60's/70's for a GG idol. Does anyone remember Katherine Ross...she was in The Graduate, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Stepford Wives. Her image is burned on my mind.

[Paula_56]

For me it would be Bea Aurther,....................just kidding.....for it would be anyone one of the professional, sucessful wellput together women I see in airports as i travel across the country, so often I wish I were in her shoes for a night!!!!

[BRANDYJ]

I honestly can't say. There are so many beautiful feminine women that I admire, I could make a list as a glamor idol. But like others, I'd have to go back to the 60's and 70's to pick. I'm not big on movies or even TV shows, so I don't even remember the names of most of the stars. In fact, some of the actors and actresses I see and consider my favorites, I can't even tell you their names! Just not into it that much.

[kellyanne]

Sophia Loren

[Shelby]

For me it is either Jennifer Aniston or Rita Hayworth. Jen always is dressed so nicely even when she is dressed down. Rita was drop dead glamourous. I have an old movie called Down to Earth and she is so stunning.

[GingerLeigh]

Audrey Hepburn

[michellebesweet]

There is no other choice for this Girl. She is the complete package. I say no more.

[Davina Diamond]

Yeah shelby, rita is a goddess.

I knew someone would say miss munroe at some point too, this would'nt be an idol thread withour her.

Thanks for your input girls :D

[Michelle8]

I agree with the others Catherine Zeta-Jones definitly.
In Zorro with that tight corset on.Wow!

[Sara Jessica]

Reese Witherspoon as mentioned above is a winner but the one who makes me look every time I catch her gracing the television is Jennifer Love Hewitt if for no other reason than her beautiful eyes which are nearly always done up to glamourous perfection.

[eluuzion]

I have never really had any "idols" other than Superman when I was a kid. When George Reeves committed suicide, it kind of sucked all of the oxygen out of that concept for me...lol

I don't really have "glamour idols" I guess. But I always thought Shana Hiatt (Poker After Dark) and Traylor Howard (Monk) were hotties. Not just what they wore, more attractive from a personal "sexiness" I can't describe.
:love:

[Prissy Linda]

Marie Osmond always looks very beautiful, I love her makeup, hair and clothing selection whether she is thin or a bit heavier.

[Sarah Doepner]

Two at the top of a very long list are already here, Zeta-Jones and Bea Arthur, for very different reasons of course. How about Karen Allen with her freckles and strong right cross in the "Indiana Jones" movies?

[Leslie Langford]

...hands down, it has to be Raquel Welch.

I saw her on the Oprah Show the other day, and even though she just turned 70, she is still as sexy and as glamorous as ever. Granted, she may have had some "work" done on her over the years, but to me, she is still represents the epitome of femininity - beauty, brains, a sense of self-worth, realistic, grounded, and very much her own person. Raquel is a beautiful woman both inside and out, and sophistication and class ooze from her every pore, much as they do with Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve, Tina Turner, and the like. Not many 70-year-olds still have such amazing figures, the incredible fashion sense, or are able to still wear killer stilettos as effortlessly as she can

She also has great business acumen (Raquel Welch line of wigs) which she was able to capitalize on as a result of her former celebrity status, and has chosen to re-invent herself and move beyond the "pretty face/killer body" persona that so many performers and actresses are unable to do and as a result, almost become caricatures of their former selves (e.g. Brigitte Bardot).

And bonus - Raquel once played a transsexual in that 70's movie Myra Breckenridge before being TG became almost fashionable, so she is no stranger to our community.

[TGMarla]

I dunno...maybe Jaclyn Smith?

[Nicole Brown]

No question at all, for it has to be Diana Rigg. She was just so beautiful and classy when she portrayed Emma Peel in the Avengers.

[VeronicaMoonlit]

Diana Rigg ~ Emma Peel

Yep Nicole have to agree with you :)

[kathtx]

The voice, the looks, the gowns... I want to be her!

[Cheryl T]

Catherine Bell...people say we could be sisters...:heehee:

[Toni_Lynn]

Kinda of an interesting question here and i think I've answered it before. The answer varies based upon the time in my life. As a teenager, I'd have to say Jodie Foster as a teenager (seen her in another thered http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=101801&d=1258216454).

Nowadays it goes from one end of the spectrum to the other -- basically someone like Hillary Swank especially as her portrayal of Brandon Teena in Boys Don't Cry -- the reason is so that I could do that really cute tomboy look.

At the other end is the really cute 60s look typified by women like singer Billie Davis. So it would be almost any of the British girl singers from the late 1960s. So cute and girlish.

Huggles

Toni-Lynn

[Teri Jean]

Abbie from the TV show NCIS.

[AKAMichelle]

Too bad we have to name only one or two. Who cares what the rules are I don't follow them anyway.

Reese Witherspoon
Carrie Underwood
Charlize Theron (Absolute Doll)
Jennifer Anniston
Catherine Bell
Sandra Bullock

[Billie1]

Does Jessica Rabbit count?

[Leyna]

Not that she is a glamour idol, but I do bear a resemblance to Cloris Leachman. When she was younger, that is.

[Jonianne]

Sandra Bullock is awesome!

116924

[Davina Diamond]

I'm loving the varied taste shown in this thread. Now imaging hayden panettierre dressed up as jessica rabbit is a hot thought indeed,lol

I expected sandra to make an appearance too, I always though she looked quite androgynous.

;)

[lisa_vin]

Most definitely Jennifer Love Hewitt!

[Davina Diamond]

Yeah sarah silverman is both sexy and funny, I follow her twitter and she posts quite regulary.

[t-girlxsophie]

Cheryl Cole is my Glamour Idol she is always dressed so well In really gorgeous Outfits with beautiful make-up and gorgeous silky hair,She is a role model to millions of young girls,and even to older Broads like myself.Love her music too
116936

[prene]

Catherine Bell...people say we could be sisters...:heehee:

I agree Catherine Bell or the look and shape of Denise Milani and a crazy part of me likes the sexyness of Lady Gaga

[Davina Diamond]

Cheryl cole has good clothes but I think she puts on way too much fake tan,lol

[Davina Diamond]

When it comes to natural beauty, shakira has it all -

http://images.askmen.com/galleries/celeb-profiles-actress/shakira/pictures/shakira-picture-3.jpg

Her makeup, choice of clothes and hair are all gorgeous

[Susan4]

how about someone from an earlier generation? ... Jamie Lee Curtis. Her smile is wonderful, her looks are unique ... and she has presence on camera and off.

[Anneliese]

Kate Winslet (especially in "Eternal Sunshine...")

http://theurbanwire.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/77aa_a1718-p-1.jpg

Chloe Sevigny (especially in "Boys Don't Cry")

http://dailystab.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/chloe-sevigny-perfume.jpg

[Lexine]

Mine's definitely Ayumi Hamasaki. Most of my earlier fashions were patterned after her, but in general it's her look that I'm constantly trying to mimic.



117059 117060

[SuzanneAZ]

I guess you can always tell who the "old timers" are here. A lot of these names I don't even recognize. :doh:

For me, my 3rd favorite would have to be Katharine Ross (who first appeared in "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman). Then, maybe Raquel Welch coming in second. But undeniably, my first would be Barbara Hale, better know as Perry Mason's secretary!

[Ms. Emily]

I'd give almost anything to look like Zooey Deschanel just a little bit.

[MsJanessa]

No question at all, for it has to be Diana Rigg. She was just so beautiful and classy when she portrayed Emma Peel in the Avengers.
---
Ditto--one of My favorites---I only wish I good look as good in leather

[Miss Misery]

How about Eva Longoria? I saw her on a PBS interview about family history - she looked wonderful both glammed up for awards stuff and dressed casual w/ jeans etc. WOW.

BTW - Although my name, Vitalia, is hispanic - I am not. I have a good story about the Vitalia I met many years ago but that's another story ..... not sure what part of the forum it would fit into.

[Jessica Kelly]

http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00047/0507_pixie_02_47893a.jpg

I never really had one until Pixie came along!

[Dalece]

Well sart with Sandra Bullock, Then some of the older stars from the 30 and 40 era. like Kathern Hepburn when she was younger.

[Bethany38]

I do agree with Emily that Zooey Deschannel is soo beautiful, she was my first avatar on this board. Lately though I would give anything to look like Marianna Van Zeller, her looks coupled with her intelligence is intoxicating. For those who do not know her she is a correspondent for Vanguard.

[tanyalynn51]

I didnt have to even think about it- I wanted to be Stevie Nicks since the first time I saw her picture when I was 16 or so.

[Dee2U]

Without a doubt it is Audrey Hepburn. She was the epitome of the feminine, lithe, graceful. She is perfect....Dee

[joann07]

For me, it has to be Jessica Alba. :love:
I love everything about her. She's got an all natural look that's so beautiful and she has a great sense of style and fashion which I try to emulate.

http://www.superphotospace.com/images/jessica_alba5_469f8862d4c39.jpg

Hugs!

[BRANDYJ]

Jane Mansfield. And a few others that were the sexiest pin-up or actresses of the late forties and early fifties. Back when it was sexy to have larger thighs, hips and be anything but skinny. I don't find skinny as attractive as the GG's that have a few extra well placed pounds. Definition between their waist and well rounded hips and butt. Larger thighs and calves. I like a woman to look like a woman, not one that can be mistaken for a skinny little boy. lol

[Miss Misery]

I do agree with Emily that Zooey Deschannel is soo beautiful, she was my first avatar on this board. Lately though I would give anything to look like Marianna Van Zeller, her looks coupled with her intelligence is intoxicating. For those who do not know her she is a correspondent for Vanguard.

Good call Bethany. I thought I was the only one with a "thing" for Marianna Van Zeller:) What about Michelle Lombardo?

[Inna]

I had a privilege to be compared with Catherine Zeta Jones I think by the way of hair:heehee: and yes her stunning beauty would melt me in an instant but there is something about her, feistiness or strength which turns the dial a bit for me.
117109117110


But when it comes to an absolute femininity, sensuality, vulnerability, soft sexuality, everything I believe to be an ultimate woman, Kylie is the only one
117111117112117114

[Tina P Hose]

Me being so shallow, I can only come up with woman who are or were actors. Anyway this is...

My Top 8.
8. Jean Arhur
7. Maureen O'Sulivan
6. Dawn Wells
5. Maureen McCormick
4. Linda Kelsey
3. Lea Thompson
2. Julia Louis-Dreyfus
1. Peggy Lipton


Honorable Mention: Judy Jetson

[Vickie_CDTV]

The women I was fascinated with were probably different than for everyone else. For me, it was Joan Collins, Dixie Carter, Delta Burke and Candice Bergen (mature, always well dressed and elegant women of the 80s.)

[Inna]

OMG I totally like, spaced out forgetting my teen favorite
117118

Yeah baby, she was ah, superb :daydreaming:

[Lorileah]

I am too lazy to find pictures but I love Marilyn (yes THAT Marilyn) and Carole Lombard (right now everyone under 50 is going ..."who???")

117120

[lynda o]

For me it would have be Angie Harmon

[Davina Diamond]

Thanks for your input girls, this is turning into a great and interesting read :)

Oh and stevie nicks....now there's a dream woman :D

[Diane Smith]

Hands down, Audrey Hepburn. Cute, glamorous, smart, socially committed, with a bit of an attitude. And she aged beautifully.

- Diane

[Inna]

You know, it is kind of crazy but for every girl here I see a tremendous likeness to her favorite famous GG. Literally!

[Julianne]

And many great responses. Can't pick just one so:

Audrey Hepburn
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Reese Witherspoon

[veronica]

Christina Aguilera 2008-2009 (platinum blonde and bright red lip stick):doll:

[Rachel M]

Im still a Robin Meade fan. I so try to emulate her looks. I wake up and the first thing I do is turn the TV to HLN to see her.

[Kathryn Martin]

For me definitely Helen Mirren, she is gorgeous and dressed so perfectly

http://www.realistichair.com/store/images/helen_mirren.jpg

[daviolin]

I always thought Goldie Hawn was a stone fox. It's hard to pick just one. But I will stick with Goldie. :thumbsup:

[Fab Karen]

I am too lazy to find pictures but I love Marilyn (yes THAT Marilyn) and Carole Lombard (right now everyone under 50 is going ..."who???")

117120
Is the cupcake your idol too?
Oh yeah Carol...uh, I mean, WHO?:battingeyelashes:

[Karen Johnson]

Sophia Loren

[FeliciaK]

monica bellucci would be mine :daydreaming:

[Shananigans]

I'd literally sell my soul to look like these women, and thus I copy their looks a lot...

Katie Holmes. (pre-mom hair)

http://www.realbollywood.com/news/up_images/11112317.jpg

Angelina Jolie

Yes indeed, Mine too ;)

*hugs*

Zarabeth

[Ashley Lynn Swift]

I seriously doubt that anybody it going to have heard of my idol, unless maybe they are from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. She was the number 2 model in Rio before she retired from modeling last year. She was a great friend and a hugh source of strength and courage for me through the first year of my transition. and my inspieation to go back to school to follow my dreams of becoming a famous Fashion Photographer. My late and dearest friend Giona Flores-Bohannon. Who was Tradically taken from all of us who loved her and had the honor of calling her one of our dearest friends. when she was killed in an accident involving a semi. May you R.I.P. my Friend.

117290

117291

Giona Flores-Bohannon 5-1-1986 to 6-1-2010

[Annaliese2010]

I resonate with Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I also see something of myself in Scarlett Johanssen; Christina Ricci and Heather Graham.

But most of all I am closest to Kirsten Dunst in Elizabethtown. At least that's the kind of girl I aspire to become.

[Jennifer Marie P.]

For me its Angelina Jolie shes very sexy and always dresses beautifully.

[Inna]

I'd literally sell my soul to look like these women, and thus I copy their looks a lot...

Katie Holmes. (pre-mom hair)
Angelina Jolie
Catherine Zeta Jones

Funny how life is, I would think every gurl here would love to be in your shoes and yet you would like to be someone else. You are beautiful:daydreaming: and perfect and a woman, OMG, what a bliss!
But as it may, life is a journey to the ever so distant shopping mall and so if we focus on shopping we miss all the beauty of the road there.

[Shananigans]

No one is ever happy with what they have. My hair is stick straight, thus I want it to be curly. My best friend has crazy beautiful curls, but she confronted my in the elevator with my sopping wet head one day stating, "I just wish I could just hope out of the shower, run a comb through my hair and it look presentable!" We have different definitions of "presentable," apparently.

I've always been tall...I wish I was short. It goes on and on. My lover was born a man, but he dresses like a woman. I bought the pink dress, he steals the pink dress. :Angry3:

Haha

[daphne g]

liz taylor

[Michaela42]

Although I idolize/envy some of the modern women I would have to say that I tend to lean towards the classic beauties like Rita Hayworth and Audry Hepburn. Sure they were lovely and sexy but they also had such class and sophistication :daydreaming:

[Annaliese2010]

I'd give almost anything to look like Zooey Deschanel just a little bit.The resemblance is striking Emily - you already ARE her, girl!

[Davina Diamond]

I've been having a 'Gloria Estefan' day. Been practising putting my makeup and trimming my wig to look like hers, she's so stunning -

http://www.cool-midi.com/photo/gloria-estefan.jpg

:D

[Nicola2876]

For me Nicole Kidman is the model of femininity and beauty but I just love Katy Perry too!

[Billie1]

http://img.youtube.com/vi/L97pXkcMEds/0.jpg
Stevie Nicks from the old days.

[Colleen03]

Jennifer Love Hewitt is my first choice....
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nvTplFDoeo0/TClcVur9adI/AAAAAAAAD84/DiaiA1PCgBQ/s1600/jennifer-love-hewitt-2-gm_l3.jpg
Though after seeing this picutre of Heather Thomas, not only have I forgotten how hot & sexy she is, but she's even better in this black leotard....
http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/1181/heatherthomas01ko9.jpg

[Ashley_Marie]

So Many to choose from.

My Top 3, in no particular order...

Alyssa Milano, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Norma Jean Baker (I always preferred the way she looked before she became Marilyn Monroe).

Oh, I love so many beautiful women, but nude model Carli Banks to me is the most beautiful woman on earth and I think everything about her is just perfect and flawless.

[docrobbysherry]

Over the years, there's just TOO many to list! The Bond girls alone could fill a PAGE!

Today, my pic would be:

118543

[gabe]

Definitely Christa Tippett. I admire her sensibility, her mind, her intellect, and that voice!

[Funny Girl]

J-Lo (remember her white dress in PR concert ?)
Daisy Fuentes
Vanna White
Streisand (love that 94 concert gown and many other outfits :daydreaming:

:love:

[Colleen03]

Another one I would consider a glamour idol is Victoria's secret model Alessandra Ambrosio... she looks stunning whether she's fully clothed or sporting those sexy Victoria's Secret lingerie items ;)
http://cdn.mademan.com/chickipedia/images/b/b7/Alessandra-ambrosio-new-05_657.jpg

[Kate Lynn]

Jane Russle,a very stunning woman,talented,could wrap any man around her little finger.

[Ukiah]

Penelope Cruz, beautiful eyes.
