15 Most Beautiful Nationalities in the World
Like many things, beauty is a matter of opinion. Perhaps red or brunette hair appeals to you more than blonde or red hair. It’s possible that you find persons with lots of hair or those without any at all attractive. Perhaps nothing makes your heart race more than a large clump of hair devoid of any human being in it.
However, what is the general consensus? These are the most gorgeous people on the planet, Brazilians and Egyptians included. Now let’s get started!
Here is a detailed list of the top 15 most beautiful nationalities in the world:
15 Most BEAUTIFUL Nationalities in the World 2024!
#15: China
In Chinese contemporary popular culture, there are various aspects to the beauty ideal. If those aspects synchronize with what you personally are into, then reset your cupid profile so it thinks you’re in China and make like the fox from Dora the Explorer and swipe. In China, paler skin is actually considered more beautiful than tan skin, which contrasts with how many other nationalities think.
If you like people who look like they spend most of their lives indoors, China is the place for you. In fact, it’s taken so seriously in China that, contrary to fake tan, skin lightening products are readily available. Sadly, these products come with many risky side effects. But hey, this was supposed to be a lighthearted thirst article, not a damning indictment on how society’s overwhelmingly intense focus on aesthetic value is literally driving people to hurt themselves. So stick your fingers in your ears and look at the pretty people. Aren’t Changing Ye and Chow Ling hot?
#14: Egypt
Egypt has many mysteries: How did they build the pyramids? What’s under the Sphinx? And how are the people so darn good-looking? It makes sense; historically speaking, ancient Egypt was one of the vainest ancient civilizations and one of the first nations to dabble in perfumes, oils, and other beauty treatments. That obsession with beauty has trickled down the centuries into modern-day Egyptian men and women. In fact, worldwide, youth is associated with beauty.
We seem to have this strange idea that people are hot from the age of 21 to 39 and then, once they hit 40, they transform overnight into the saggy and disgusting hunchback of Notre Dame creatures with no value. This warped perspective came from the intensive vanity of ancient Egypt.
They put such value on the beauty of youth that this Egyptian word. I can’t pronounce it, it has no vowels, NFRWT—that’s their word for a beautiful single woman, but it literally translates as teenager. And if it’s men you’re into but you don’t like facial hair, Egyptian men may be the way to go. In Egyptian culture, facial hair is deemed dirty and disgusting, and it’s a clean-shaven look that’s desirable.
#13: Ghana
If what you’re into is nice hair, eyes, and a good smile, then we suggest you hook up with Captain Caveman. But if you value those three things but would rather be with a woman, then the women of Ghana will be for you. In Ghana, great value is put on all three of those things, with the women having some of the most beautiful smiles and stunning hairstyles on the planet.
Meanwhile, the men pride themselves on never drinking and never smoking, so if you’re all about that clean-edge lifestyle, a man from Ghana is for you. Whether it be the mind-blowingly talented and handsome actor John Demello or the hugely popular and charming Chris Attoh, Ghana is bursting at the seams with gorgeous celebs you won’t be able to keep your eyes off. People from Ghana also smell good—look, that’s what the research said, okay? Just go with it.
#12: Nigeria
Nigeria is blessed with many beautiful women, and research suggests that Nigeria is the African country that is home to the most beautiful African women. I don’t know why people spent their time researching that, but apparently, they did, and that’s the conclusion they came to. So, uh, Nigeria was the first-ever African country to win the prestigious Miss World competition, the trophy going to one Miss Agbani Darego in 2001. And she is far from the only one.
I mean, hey, like we’ve said, everyone is beautiful, but maybe, just maybe, Nigerian people are ever so slightly more beautiful than most. As joining Agbani Darego, there’s Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Waje, Monalisa Chinda, and Ibinabo Fiberesima. Meanwhile, the men of Nigeria aren’t exactly swamp creatures by comparison. Oh no, far from it. Famous for being tall, dark, and handsome, Nigerian men give Nigerian women a run for their money in the unofficial “Who’s the most beautiful?” contest. Nigerian male celebrities from Ayana to D’banj to 2Baba prove that they’ve got just as good genes as Agbani Darego and all other Nigerian women.
#11: Australia
Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s the appreciation for fitness and a good diet, but those Oz-based individuals certainly seem to be, to quote Chris Pine in Wonder Woman, “above average.” From Margot Robbie to Kylie Minogue to Hugh Jackman to all 8,000 of the Hemsworths, the Australians are an aesthetically pleasing bunch.
The land down under is a treasure trove of beauty, both scenic and human. And for all you straight guys and gay gals who fancy playing the numbers game, Oz is the place to be as it has 100,000 more women than men. You would certainly have options, that’s for sure—a Hemsworth sister for everyone.
In 2016, Miss.Travel.com released a list of the world’s hottest nations, and they put Australian women eighth in the world, with Australian men coming in at third.
Top 10 Most Beautiful Nationalities in the World
#10: Spain
Spain is one steamy, sultry, 24-hour fiesta, and what’s more, beautiful people seem to spring up there left and right. Penelope Cruz, Rafael Nadal, Ángel Silvestre, Joan Corda, Harina Puss in Boots—the list of attractive hot Spaniards is officially longer than Barry Lyndon.
#9: Sweden
Both the nation’s men and women are in the top 10 sexiest worldwide, and really, that shouldn’t surprise you. Everybody is blonde, their skin remains undamaged from the sun, and most of them have blue eyes as well. And that’s without even mentioning how tall they are. In most countries, height equals beauty, and in Sweden, the guys and gals are so tall, their heads are technically in the future.
#8: Angola
Angola is a west coast country of south-central Africa and the seventh-largest country in Africa, bordered by Namibia to the south, the Democratic Republic of Congo to the north, Zambia to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. But you know what isn’t beautiful? Geography. You know what is? The people of Angola.
#7: France
Paris is the romantic capital of the world, so it stands to reason that some of the planet’s most beautiful people would gravitate there. For all you straight men and gay women who like to get ogling, France has plenty of women for you to enjoy—from Eva Green to Marion Cotillard, from Mélanie Laurent to Léa Seydoux, from Anne Parillaud to Élodie Yung. Also, baguettes are French, and baguettes are great. Well done, France. Thumbs up.
Top 5 Most Beautiful Nationalities
#5: Colombia
If you like your women like a carnivore likes their meals—meaty—then Colombia is where it’s at, as this is a culture that celebrates a more curvy and voluptuous body shape. And for all you straight women and gay guys, the men of Colombia are just as delicious. When I say delicious, I mean that in a dating kind of way, not in a Soylent Green kind of way—told you I’d get it in there.
With their tan olive skin, effortless charm, and perfect bone structure, so long as you’re willing to drop the tall aspect out of the tall, dark, and handsome equation, you’ve got yourself a keeper in a Colombian.
#4: Venezuela
Venezuela is a place obsessed with beauty, hosting infamous beauty contests and many Venezuelans wind up in serious debt in order to fund their addiction to plastic surgery. And it makes sense; with women from the country having won 17 beauty queen titles in the past 30 years, the pressure is on for Venezuelan people to be hot stuff.
Well, if there are any Venezuelans watching, you’ve delivered. In the last three decades, Venezuela has won five Miss World competitions, six Miss Internationals, and six Miss Universes. Poor Miss Uranus was gutted.
#3: Slovakia
The Slovaks, or Slovakians, are a nation and West Slavic ethnic group native to Slovakia who share a common ancestry, culture, and history and speak the Slovak language. They’re also gorgeous. From fashion model Adriana Sklenaříková to Ghostbusters co-creator Ivan Reitman—did I stutter? Slovakia churns out hotties like clockwork. On average, the women tend to be tall and slender, while the men are even taller and built to withstand a fight with a tornado.
#2: Russia
Maybe it’s because Vladimir Putin interfered with our voting process, but we’ve put Russia in the bronze position. Russia is home to countless models, athletes, and all-around beautiful people. Maria Sharapova, Anna Kournikova, Natalia Vodianova,
Alexey Chadov, Alexander Skvortsov—if these names don’t prove our point, well, then that’s fine. You’re allowed to disagree—subjectivity and all that. Most Beautiful Russian Girls in the World.
#1: Brazil
Brazil is considered to be home to some of the most beautiful things and people in the world. In almost any list counting down the most beautiful nationalities in the world, Brazil comes either second or first. Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Isabeli Fontana all prove that Brazilian genetics are strong. Routinely voted in the top five of various “most beautiful nationalities in the world” lists, Brazil is home to some truly stunning people.
Many of the locals claim it all comes down to fitness and fashion. Both are hugely celebrated and enjoyed in Brazil, meaning the people work hard to look good and dress nice. Good exercise and good clothes—that’s a better combo than Batman and Batman’s friend.
