Charisma does not depend (totally) on physical beauty although it helps. Two Romans who were no dummies and no mean shakes in the charisma department fell for her.

She probably did not have the figure of a teenager by the time she died but as she was a mother several times over that would not be unexpected. As for fat, probably not.

She was a teen when Julius fell for her.

From the ancient coins I've seen, she wasn't a raving beauty, but she wasn't ugly either and supposedly she was extremely intelligent, well read, charming, and yes, charismatic.

Though older when Antony fell mightily for her, as well as a mother, she must have had enough allure, charm, and whit to have enticed him so thoroughly.
