Film legend Audrey Hepburn has been named the most naturally beautiful woman of all time by a panel of experts.
Three Australians featured in the first 10 out of 100 beauties, actress Cate Blanchett, who came in third, singer Natalie Imbruglia and model Elle MacPherson.
Princess Diana came in 12th.
Hepburn, the star of Roman Holiday and Breakfast At Tiffany's, topped the poll of beauty editors, make-up artists, fashion editors, model agencies and fashion photographers who were asked to choose their top 10 beauties from the list of 100 compiled by the drinks firm Evian.
The women were chosen for their "embodiment of natural beauty, healthy living, beautiful on the inside and out, with great skin and a natural glow to their personality, as well as their complexion", Evian said.
Hepburn was joined in the top five by current US film star Liv Tyler, Blanchett, Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie and the fifties icon turned princess Grace Kelly.
"Audrey Hepburn is the personification of natural beauty," said Elle beauty director Rosie Green.
"She has a rare charm and inner beauty that radiates when she smiles. Her skin looks fresh in all her films and her personality really shines through as someone warm and lively."
More than 76 per cent of the beauty experts who voted in the survey mentioned Hepburn in their top 10.
The survey also showed that while 32 per cent of the icons placed in the number one spot by panel members were blondes, 22 per cent redheads and 46 per cent brunettes.
"People who are confident without a scrap of make-up and look healthy, happy and glowing, seem like natural beauties to me," Eleonore Crompton, of Heat magazine.
I'll take Hally for 1000 please.
How could Jenna Jameson not make this list? Am I being lead to believe that some parts of her aren't natural?
I saw the title; I saw the poster: I KNEW I'd be in for a treat. As always, thanks! (why do you do this to us...some kind of vicarious triumph of feminine wiles?)
I'm totally mystified by everyone's attraction to Angelina Jolie. I just don't get it. A naturla beauty? Maybe if you look for beauty at the local tattoo parlor.
If I changed the source to Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes would you move this back to news? It's been in all those broadcasts and print media this morning.
Where did Ingred Bergman come in? DON'T tell me she wasn't on the list!
What place did Hitliary come in?
I do it because it's news and it's not Abu Ghraib, Kerry, Michael Moore or the cost of fuel. Sometimes it's nice to think about things that are different.
Man cannot live happily by being pounded with the same old news over and over.
Where is Hedy Lamarr? She had looks and brains.
She made some phone calls....#666....big-boned, but really really smart!
Here's the full list from The Scotsman.

For the record, I think their list is totally wacked.
Without Maureen O'Hara this list is bogus!
Anniston? MADONNA???? ViV Leigh #60? Robbed!!!
Notice how many of those women are drug addicts, alcoholics, surgically changed or just plain nasty?
Well, yeah. They asked a bunch of gay men - excuse me, "beauty editors, make-up artists, fashion editors, model agencies and fashion photographers" - who they thought were some attractive women. Of course the list is wacked.
