Jane Burden (maiden name) was a big favorite among the PRBers, but I don't think it was because she was knockout, I think it was because her face was impassive.

Besides, the original Pre-Raphaelite "stunner" was Rossetti's wife, Elizabeth Siddal.

From Wood, Christopher. The Pre-Raphaelites. Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 1981 (I own the 2000 paperback edition):
According to William Michael Rossetti, this picture (Millais' Ophelia) is the best likeness of Elizabeth Siddal ever painted.
