According to science that isn't true. There are very specific dimensions to face and body that are universally considered attractive. It doesn't matter if there are other physical differences besides those necessities of physical attractiveness.
She wore an incredibly tight corset, like most women at the time. Probably not very comfortable for her. Either way, a small waist has always been considered attractive and always will, though a 19 inch waist is probably small enough that even the most particular people would find it scary.

Besides, ask any of us Europeans what it means to be European and we'll almost certainly mention culture or birthplace. We don't really think blood makes you linked to a country.
JFK also used quite a bit of cortisone, which actually filled out his face. Because of various afflictions, he was given last rites three times before he actually died by assassination.
I feel like most of these people may have been more charming or charismatic than attractive. Or people simply swooned over them like rock stars, no matter their looks. Seriously, who really thinks John F. Kennedy was any better than average looks?

@Morphelia Awww poor you get over yourself you wannabe victim, as I said the video should've stressed what beauty standard they were referring to, and if you dont like my opinion then tuffshit.
@Morphelia all they was saying is that if it's "the most beautiful people in the world" then it should include all the continents on the earth instead of just Europe. Europeans aren't the only people in the Earth
@@alessiodecarolis I know that Romey did it best. There's another version of her in Silent Films! I think 1922. I only saw 👀 it once about 6 -8 years ago !
Totally agree with Empress Sisi, Lord Byron and JFK. I would also add young Ernest Hemingway (seriously my idea of handsome 😍), Nefertiti (based on her famoust bust, her features are literally our current standard of beauty), Lewis Powell (dude looked like a model), Nicholas II of Russia and his Empress Alexandra (their daughters Tatiana and Maria were considered great beauties too, their death was tragic tho), young Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, Felix Yusupov, Lady Emma Hamilton, Lola Montez, young Zhou Enlai, young Stalin and young Johannes Brahms Nikola Tesla was pretty cute too.
Lillie Langtry was incredibly intelligent as well as being the reigning beauty of her day. She was fluent in several languages and was almost as charismatic as she was beautiful. A hard working and ultimately successful actress, she was a fascinating person who still intrigues to this day.
I am really surprised that Maria Feodorovna, tsarina of Russia didn't make the list, as well as her son, the last tsar, Nicholas II. Both of them were very beautiful. Also, this is Western history.
Elisabeth had FOUR children. One died in infancy, a baby named Sophie, and her ONLY SON, Crown Prince Rudolf, committed suicide with his mistress Mary Vetsera. It was a blow from which Elisabeth never recovered, she removed herself from the Royal Court and lived as a private citizen until her murder.
Hatshepsut should be on here, her face on her statues is just perfection. Rameses II's favourite wife Nefertari seems to have been very beautiful as well
Kathryn of Aragon was considered highly beautiful. Mary Boleyn was considered attractive and more so than her sister. Anne was never considered attractive looking. She was average but was 'sexy' in her demeanor. Anne and Mary's mother Elizabeth Howard was considered one of the most beautiful women in the kingdom and gave Kathryn some competition. She was more attractive then her daughters. Anne Boleyns 1st cousin Katherine Howard, the 5th wife of Henry VIII was also considered attractive. Just like her cousin, she lost her head.
IMO: Jayne Mansfield, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly are the most attractive women in Hollywood since 1940. Audrey Hepburn is especially noteworthy given that she's among the hottest despite not even being blonde. I'm a big fan of blondes.
Joseph Clegg Emma Hamilton had a personality that matched her radiant beauty, she was kind, empathic and genuine, this endeared her to so many people.

I watched the Kennedy-Nixon debate as a kid and I've always been of the opinion that Kennedy won the debate and is wrongly considered one of the greatest presidents not based on his personal attractiveness, but rather because of his rhetorical skills. He had a great way of ennunciating what he wished to say and was flawless in his delivery. And he exuded great charisma which I'm sure had something to do with his appeal along with his looks. And we can't discount the fact that his beautiful wife Jacqueline Kennedy also added to his admiration. And I should think the fact that he was murdered in the waning days of the third year of his presidency also added to his reputation as a great president. In retrospect it was the VP who succeeded him Lyndon Baines Johnson who got most of JFK's policy agenda passed. Had not Johnson gotten caught up in the debacle of the Vietnam War I'm almost certain his presidency would have been looked upon as near equal to the president who mostly inspired his political career Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
You forgot Marie Duplessis, a courtesan, who was the real-life inspiration for The Lady with the Camelias, and thus, La Traviata. She was described as the most beautiful woman in France during her lifetime
As the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" ..haven't we all heard how attractive someone is and when we finally see them are like ..umm... yeah ..I guess?!
There is some misinformation about Empress Elisabeth. 1st There was no "Empress Sisi", just like there was no "Queen Lizzy II of England". She was Empress Elisabeth. 2nd Franz Joseph became deeply concerned and disgusted with her dieting, her being skinny even for her era was not her main appeal. 3nd she didnt only have one child that died, and it certainly wasnt the only nail in the coffin. Literally. She had four children and the first one died aged two and it was Rudolph's suicide that had a great negative impact on her life's trajectory- but she had been depressed since her early days.
Byron, the Photoshop king before Photoshop was invented, the master of merchandise...yet, can you blame him? Obese or not, a talent is talent and weight means nothing. Self-conscious, but probably beautiful still if it wasn't for his fear of being recognized as anything other than perfect. LEARN PEEPS, JUST BE YOURSELVES, TALENT AND A GREAT PERSONALITY GOES A LOT FURTHER THAN LOOKS. YES SIR.
From the photos of the Sundance Kid, (the real one) he looked to be quite handsome. Louis XIV and his brother the Philippe Duke of Orleans were quite handsome when young. Nelson and the Duke of Wellington also, and Napoleon wasn't bad but who knows how realistic their portraits were. Also Michael Collins from Irish history.
even today, Austrians refer to Elizabeth as "the beautiful Sisi" (said with an Austrian accent) There was a young guy who was involved with Boothe in the assassination. That guy was HOT. (according to todays standards). Lilly Langtree was born on Jersey, an island in the English Channel, which led to here being called "the Jersey Lilly")

Kennedy good looking?Huh? I never knew that was a thing. I always thought he married so far above his level that I assumed Jackie was really poor and money had a lot to do with it - it surprised me when I found out she came from wealth.
When "Wolfrel" was a little lad, he gave a concert to the Austrian Court, with Marie Antoinette in attendance. She was a really cute little girl, and she and Wolfrel had instant crushes on each other, but this was all sadly unrequited, as these two youngsters were hide-bound, to different stations in life. They'd occasionally moon sorrowfully over each other, as they became adults. And, I believe that they died in the same time frame, at the same age of Thirty-Six.
What about Marie Duplesis, a celebrated courtesan from Normandy France during the 1800? She's quite a stunner with dark hair, rosy white complexion, super model figure. Then there's Mata Hari, Margaretha Zelle in real life, a Dutch woman who got divorced from her abusive husband. She was a well-known spy all throughout Europe moonlighting as an Indian temple and exotic dancer. Mary Stuart Queen of Scots was also a looker- standing around 5'11", with alabaster skin, auburn hair and gray eyes. She got married thrice- first in her early teens to the young dauphin of France until his death at age 15. Then to Lord Darnley who was later on proven to be quite a jerk until he got killed on some kind of plot orchestrated by the queen herself according to rumors. Then the third one who have hostaged Mary and forced her to marry him. I forgot the name of the third one, by the way, but generally speaking her second and third marriages were totally disastrous. Oh well- you can't have everything you want just because you are beautiful.
"Her waist was just 19 and a half inches so it's really no wonder that Franz Josef fell for her." WTF? Who writes these stuff? Put her in the time of Helen of Troy and her waist could have launched a thousand ships too.
The Helen of Troy rant is ridiculous. If you know the story at all, you know that it she was not vilified "for her beauty" but because she committed adultery and left her husband. If you want to defend her, you can say she may not have had a choice. Aphrodite made Helen fall in love with Paris after Paris gave Aphrodite the Apple of Discord (signifying that Aphrodite was the most beautiful goddess). He could have been a great leader, a great warrior, or be loved by the most beautiful woman in the world. He chose the later, ultimately dooming his entire nation.
I've never thought of JFK as really handsome...charismatic yes, pleasant and classy looking, yes, elegant and eloquent, yes...but not super good looking (he had little, beady eyes, and too close together). Same goes for Jaqueline, pretty and classy, but not gorgeous. But, their son on the other hand...extremely handsome. As for the people in this video, You'll see many more gorgeous people walking down the street everyday. They just aren't public celebrities.
Why include Helen of Troy if its based purely on her reputation? No one knows what she looked like.....Overall, from comments: I don’t think we should bring race into this as beauty is a subjective personal evaluation.
Lillie Langtry didn't start out as an actress. Sh was what was called a "professional beauty" It was only after her affairs with Edward VII and Louis Mountbatten that she went on the stage.
She wasn’t very pretty, but supposedly she gave great head. There are documented instances of her taking care of multiple men in one night. Does that qualify her for this list?
since we really have no idea what she looked like and a contemporary Historian wrote that it was her intelligence and charm rather than any physical beauty that drew men to her she really doesn't belong on a list based on physical beauty.
What happened to Prince Rupert. He was the best looking of the Stuart men and also a legend during the English Civil War. I think you will find that he tops all these in this video.
HECK yes!!! I vaguely remembered he was a looker, googled, & yep, he wipes the floor with everyone here imo! Most appropriate; the actor I think is the hottest guy ever played Prince Rupert in a few sketches :D A lot of the Stuarts were beautiful, or thought to be at the time: Mary Queen of Scots, her husband Lord Darnley, Bonnie Prince Charlie (duh!), & I think James IV was quite alright.

You made a huge mistake. Empress Elisabeth of Austria actually had four children. Only one of them was a son who later commit suicide in a suicide pact with his mistress. Her oldest daughter died at the age of two.

Back then, a small waist was a very desirable trait.
a small waist is a mark of femininity and will always be a desirable trait.
Remember, corsets were mandatory for beauty. The smaller your waist the more attractive you were considered.

She was a well-known spy all throughout Europe moonlighting as an Indian temple and exotic dancer. Mary Stuart Queen of Scots was also a looker- standing around 5'11", with alabaster skin, auburn hair and gray eyes. She got married thrice- first in her early teens to the young dauphin of France until his death at age 15. Then to Lord Darnley who was later on proven to be quite a jerk until he got killed on some kind of plot orchestrated by the queen herself according to rumors. Then the third one who have hostaged Mary and forced her to marry him. I forgot the name of the third one, by the way, but generally speaking her second and third marriages were totally disastrous. Oh well- you can't have everything you want just because you are beautiful.
If you're going to include Helen of Troy, you might as well include Loana. She looked like Raquel Welch 1,000,000 BC.
anyone thought byron's images look like Jaskier? lol
"The Hottest People From History" is so subjective. There are people alive today that I'd consider as, "The Hottest".
Donald Trump is hot
@@batheandrelaxinmyshit6344 kim jung un and vladimir putin are hot
What about cleopatra?
She wasn’t that beautiful according to the actual accounts written when she alive.
Wee Mac omg 😂😂😂😂
brontewcat really? Funny how these days all the talk about is her so called beauty then.
Doreen Boadu There are a lot of myths in history eg Napoleon wasn’t that short. Apparently he was 5 ft 8, which was average for the time.
@@brontewcat 5'8 is very short if you're a man.
I'm not feeling them.
6:45 I have more than tripled that number with ease!
what's the movie name @00.35
There must have been prettier people😒
Philip IV of France. When your nickname is "handsome"
How did you not include Mata Hari on this list? Srsly though this list could have been way better.
I'm gonna say it...I don't think he was good looking. He just had charisma & charm, which probably made him APPEAR attractive.
What’s the name of the song playing in the background ? I like the vibes.
Empress Sisi looks like that youtuber named Karolina Żebrowska or Meme Mom in Tiktok.
I love her GRWMs.
Vanessa Whitehead
Same
@@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104 and I never thought about it, but you're right, they do resemble each other a lot.
Vanessa Whitehead
Someone has to show this to her.
@@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104 I don't know how.
John Kennedy good looking? Ha ha ha... you are crazy man.
What movie is the Empress Sissi footage from?
Empress Sisi had 3 children. 2 died, however. It’s amazing to me how many blatant mistakes these videos have.
She actually had 4 children. Three survived to adulthood.
"Her waist was just 19 and a half inches so it's really no wonder that Franz Josef fell for her."
WTF? Who writes these stuff? Put her in the time of Helen of Troy and her waist could have launched a thousand ships too.
John Wilkes Booth was a male model
Zoolander reference..lol
The Helen of Troy rant is ridiculous. If you know the story at all, you know that it she was not vilified "for her beauty" but because she committed adultery and left her husband. If you want to defend her, you can say she may not have had a choice. Aphrodite made Helen fall in love with Paris after Paris gave Aphrodite the Apple of Discord (signifying that Aphrodite was the most beautiful goddess). He could have been a great leader, a great warrior, or be loved by the most beautiful woman in the world. He chose the later, ultimately dooming his entire nation.
Why am I not in this list? 🥺👏🏻
That pronunciation of Marlborough though
Nice !
I've never thought of JFK as really handsome...charismatic yes, pleasant and classy looking, yes, elegant and eloquent, yes...but not super good looking (he had little, beady eyes, and too close together). Same goes for Jaqueline, pretty and classy, but not gorgeous. But, their son on the other hand...extremely handsome. As for the people in this video, You'll see many more gorgeous people walking down the street everyday. They just aren't public celebrities.
Why include Helen of Troy if its based purely on her reputation? No one knows what she looked like.....Overall, from comments: I don’t think we should bring race into this as beauty is a subjective personal evaluation.
Lillie Langtry didn't start out as an actress. Sh was what was called a "professional beauty" It was only after her affairs with Edward VII and Louis Mountbatten that she went on the stage.
What happened to Queen Cleopatra she is know for being beautiful.
She wasn’t very pretty, but supposedly she gave great head. There are documented instances of her taking care of multiple men in one night. Does that qualify her for this list?
@@auagfinder6541 Well that explain the line in ERB's Cleopatra v. Marilyn Monroe.
She was never described as a beauty, but rather a very charismatic and intelligent leader.
since we really have no idea what she looked like and a contemporary Historian wrote that it was her intelligence and charm rather than any physical beauty that drew men to her she really doesn't belong on a list based on physical beauty.
Robert Dudley isn’t on here? i’m pressed
what about Cleopatra
What happened to Prince Rupert. He was the best looking of the Stuart men and also a legend during the English Civil War. I think you will find that he tops all these in this video.
HECK yes!!! I vaguely remembered he was a looker, googled, & yep, he wipes the floor with everyone here imo! Most appropriate; the actor I think is the hottest guy ever played Prince Rupert in a few sketches :D A lot of the Stuarts were beautiful, or thought to be at the time: Mary Queen of Scots, her husband Lord Darnley, Bonnie Prince Charlie (duh!), & I think James IV was quite alright.
@@beth7935 The actor who played Prince Rupert was Timothy Dalton. And YES he is a looker too!!!
@@robertagardner5461 Hehehe, no, I was talking about the gorgeous Mathew Baynton in Horrible Histories- technically a kids' show, lol, but they absolutely played to an older audience with the cute guys in historical costumes :D
I dunno, I never found J. F. K. particularly attractive - but it was his Son who was *very* easy on the eyes. His wife was beautiful as well! It's SO sad they were killed in that doomed flight years ago...
That's true! JFK Jr. was much better looking than either of his parents.
2:51 Frasier and Niles Crane
&..By who's standards are these people attractive..? I'll (wait)..seriously not 1 other race other than European I seriously doubt that.
"European" ISN'T a race.
And it's whose*
@@fullup91 he meant Caucasians, that he envys...... like Nefertiti, the Caucasian Egyptian Queen, with one blue eye left... google image Blue eyed Egyptians, its the earliest dynasties... crystal blue eyes, red ochre men and pale women, just like the Minoans, Etruscans, Mitanni and Greeks ect...he would choose an admixed woman, in a caucasian mimmicking hair hat, smh.
few others would.
You made a huge mistake. Empress Elisabeth of Austria actually had four children. Only one of them was a son who later commit suicide in a suicide pact with his mistress. Her oldest daughter died at the age of two.
Emiliano Zapata was really handsome. You should put on the list?
