This Beauty List Is Different! | beauty body image

We just love beauty lists and all the repetitive Megans, Cheryls and Angelinas that come on top, but this top compiled by fashion expert Sally Allen is a bit different, meaning that 20-something girls are completely absent and 3 ladies out of 10 are from the “Fabulous over 60″ category. Penelope Cruz is the top beauty queen and the following ladies are:

2. Caludia Schiffer, 39
3. Kristin Scott Thomas, 49
4. Queen Rania of Jordan, 39
5. Catherine Deneuve, 66
6. Dame Helen Mirren, 64
7. Charlize Theron, 34
8. Kate Beckinsale, 36
9. Natascha McElhone, 40
10. Sophia Lauren, 75

Here’s how Sally justifies her choices:

“Our top ten women are often the subject of spontaneous and unexpected press exposure yet always manage, somehow, to look great. Sometimes they are caught without their make-up, on bad hair days, or in less than flattering poses, but their natural beauty always seems to shine through.

“There is no question in my mind that Penelope Cruz is a worthy winner. She was an undoubtedly pretty girl when she started her acting career at 16 but, 20 years later, she has matured into a particularly beautiful woman and a fine actress.”

“As someone once said, the difference between pretty and beautiful is that pretty is temporal, whereas beautiful is eternal.”

Spokesman Anthony Edwards said: “Women like Beyonce Knowles and Cheryl Cole are sexy and pretty but real beauty is something that comes from within and usually requires maturity. The days when women were considered past it at 40 are long gone.”

What do you guys think about this different list? Are you on board with their choices and do you agree with the “Beauty requires maturity” idea?

Personal Trainer Reveals Blake Lively’s Diet

Personal Trainer Reveals Blake Livelys Diet | blake lively

What is Blake eating to maintain her amazing figure and fabulous legs? Let’s find out from US Weekly:

Blake Lively — who flashed her gams in a Marchesa mini at Monday’s Met Gala — has been hitting the gym with star trainer Bobby Strom to shape up for Green Lantern (which costars Ryan Reynolds).

“She always looks good,” Strom told Us of the Gossip Girl star, 22. “But she has to do stunts, so we’re focusing on core and strength training.”

Her workout routine includes four-day-a-week, 90-minute circuit training sessions full of planks, pushups and walking lunges in a gym near the film’s (out June 2011) New Orleans set.

“She looked at her stomach and said, ‘I have abs!’” Strom tells Us.

Her diet? Oatmeal with a handful of blueberries, salads with chicken and balsamic vinaigrette for lunch and fish and veggies for dinner. (Lively also blends fruits and veggies with a juicer, and avoids noshing on too much dessert by eating just a “fork-full.”)

Her food splurge: The 5-foot-10 actress loves to cook and eat Greek food.

“You would not believe what she could consume,” Strom says. “The Greek fest that she made… crepes with cream cheese in them… we could only eat half of it. She ate all of hers and then went back and ate somebody else’s half.”

What do you guys think about her diet and workout sessions?
