The Edwardian era is known for beautiful and talented women. As beauty standards change by the decade, at that point pale skin was still in, but blonde hair was out. So as you could imagine, the Edwardian beauty was a brunette with a pale complexion. Not so much the standard these days, huh? But hey, who says you need to go by the standards to be beautiful.
Keep on scrolling to take a look at 15 of the most beautiful women of the 1900s Edwardian era and take a look for yourselves! The list was compiled by Vintage Everyday, who picked the most beautiful women out of their huge vintage collection. - บันเทิง
The first one Lily Elsie was a stunner. She gets my vote.
Martin O.Malley me too
Evelyn Nesbit has mine
totally agree by a long shot
These women are timeless. So naturally beautiful.
It's interesting how "the model stare" is still the same... looking all dreamy and almost like their eyes are out of focus, like they could be stoned or something. I guess it's for the ethereal quality. Edwardian ladies almost always look like fairies or something otherworldly to me, like they weren't even real. Considering some of the shapes they got their figures and hair into, that might be a fair assessment, no matter how interesting the hairstyle or dress. Beautiful, thank you for sharing, and kudos for including lots of different types of women.

In Victoria and Edwardian era it was popular for women to get into Fairy Lore and Spiritualism, because Science was moving really fast and with technology (Industrial) age making the world more Materialistic. The Fairy Lore and Spiritualism became popular with many women and some men to go back to a more innocent moment of human history. These were the eras that change the story of real Medieval life and created the heroic chivalry knight and damsels in distress and fluffed up Medieval lore into a time of civic innocence.
itwas a fine time i believe
I just love the clothes of this era, so classy and not trashy.Beautiful Ladies ❤
Gladys Cooper is like a Goddess
É a mais bonita
Wow, Evelyn Nesbitt's posing comes across as far more 1960s than 1900s. She was a pioneer among models.
All beauties indeed. Gladys Cooper later became a truly great character actress who created many unforgettable characters in the heyday of Hollywood and beyond. Another facet of beauty revealed.
Evelyn Nesbit had such a modern face ! Lovely.
Marie doro was so beautiful😍 im in love with all of them they look so angelique
Gladys Cooper enjoyed a very long career on stage and in films, both in the UK and Hollywood. She was in "Rebecca", "Now Voyager", "Song of Bernadette", the film version of " My Fair Lady"and in many Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes.
I lost count how many back flips my heart did. Stunning beauty !!!
My grandmother was born in 1882 and my mum was born in 1916 she had me in her late 40's ! I've always felt out of my time, perhaps because I was brought up with a different set of values? I've got an amazing photo of my grandmother with her long long hair piled high on top of her head, a choker necklace with a cameo on it plus her dress covers her right unto her throat! I remember my mum telling me that my gran said when the movie King Kong came out that the St. John's ambulance people were posted in the theatre because lots of the ladies fainted!!
Lin Joy they still do for different reasons
Lin, if that is your photo you would not be out of place in the video :)
My mum was born in 1922 so I suspect we are about the same age; like you, I often feel out of my time. You Tube often does not help in that respect!
When I was young and the film The Exorcist came out, the St John's Ambulance Brigade were posted in the cinemas as well. Now The Exorcist looks fairly tame! These days, I think cinema goers would only need assistance from the St John's Ambulance people if a film was not PC, which is the new shocking.
Maude Fealy and Marie Doro were so beautiful.....
You could fit so many more on this list...Gertie Miller, Maude Adams, Phyllis Dare, Zena Dare, Gabrielle Ray, Marie Studholme, Lone Bright, Lina Cavalieri, Anna Held, Ivy Close, Pauline Chase, Nina Sevening, Ellaline Terris, Edna May, Mabel Love, Valli Valli, Madge Lessing, Denise Orme, Evie Greene, Louie Pounds, Gaby Deslys, Lily Brayton, Vesta Tilley, Maud Jeffries, Hilda Coral...and could go on hundred more.
Beauty transcends the times. Those fair ladies will live in pictures forever.
These women would still be considered beautiful today.
Maybe... If they weren't dead. 💀
Cleopatra was actually ugly. ancient timers say ugly is beautiful lol
@@AbrahamLincoln4 they changed the appearance of cleopatra to suit narratives but what made her attractive was her intelligence and status.
@@kristingallo2158 Yes Interestingly. Today people judge you on your looks sadly. I would gladly take an intelligent average looking woman instead of a ignorant one who is hot.
Yes.why wouldn't they be?
All of these women were truly beautiful. I could not help but notice they were all brunettes. I also noted most lived well into their eighties. Thank you for uploading.
I read somewhere that dark hair was fashionable during this time period.
Not all were brunettes. At least one redhead and a couple of blondes.
I think Billie Burke looked better as a blonde. Glinda, you know. ;)
Bleach didn't become common until the 1930s. Also, blondes didn't photograph well in those days because of the way cameras were designed. They'd look washed out. In the 1930s cameras became more advanced and being blonde became all the rage even to this day.
I was going to point that out as well, sure there were no bleached blondes, but I am sure that at least of couple of these women had dark blonde or golden hair, blondes were prized then, as today, because natural blonde is a recessive gene? and hence rare.
ethel clayton's picture caught my eyes the most. i love the looks in her eyes its like shes sad,shes hiding something or her mind is elsewhere. the concept, just everything is beautiful
Evelyn Nesbit is hauntingly beautiful.
Yes, she certainly is.
+ Razor Razorian, I suspect your comment was a Freudian slip. You're a weirdo.
she is a real feme fatale google her name
She's got a nice set of bits on her!
I have! I highly recommend it to all, I devoured it.
2:02, Billie Burke played Glinda, the Good Witch of the North in the Wizard of Oz. She had many other acting credits as well.
She was a Ziegfeld girl, too.
Christina Love-Evelyn Nesbit is ,indeed,hauntingly beautiful. As photography was new in the early 1900's, the hair color does not show. Evelyn had hair that was copper and dark brown and she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
Evelyn Nesbit's face is timeless. If she lived through this generation, instead of a Gibson Girl, her beauty will be a Tumblr Girl or TH-camr Girl. :)
Very lovely women! Classic style photo's of a woman always brings out the true beauty of her. And, they all lived into their 80's.
todays Hollywood women, don't even come close to these wonderful ladies!
Beautiful women and I love their clothes.
Gladys Cooper gets my vote. What a beauty!
A mais linda
Thank you for sharing with us. VERY beautiful ladies.
They all had such BEAUTIFUL hair!
Yes, they sure did! The also had lady's maids who washed, curled, and styled it for them (that's much easier than having to deal with that long hair yourself) and some help from various "rats" and hairpieces tucked under their real hair. They even had curling irons that were heated in a fire or on a stove, or filled with kerosene. I can't imagine how you could keep from burning your hair right off. But undeniably gorgeous.
pure beauty without botox
Or blonde hair - OR duck lips!! Or big fake boobs! Man, who would have thought??
Yes, but you realised they used very toxic substances as beauty creams, such as water infused with arsenic
khirra acc I BELIEVE THAT MY DEAREST MOTHER WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN THAT EVER LIVED ! BEYOND ORDINARY BEAUTY ! IT'S THE HONEST TRUTH ! WHEN SHE WAS A VERY YOUNG GIRL , AROUND 7 YEARS OF AGE , MANY SONS AND THEIR FATHER'S HAVE KILLED THEMSELVES , BECAUSE HER PARENTS REJECTED THEIR ARRANGE MARRIAGE PROPOSALS ! IN HER EARLY TEENS , SHE WOULD CAUSED TRAFFIC CAR ACCIDENTS , AS SHE WALKS BY THE STREETS ! MY MOTHER NEVER BELIEVED IN WEARING MAKEUP ! SHE WAS A NATURAL BEAUTY ! SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL BOTH INSIDE AND OUT ! WHAT A VERY BLESSED LADY SHE WAS ! ONE OF HER BEAUTY ASSETS WAS , ( BESIDES HER FACE ) , SHE HAD A VERY LONG STRAWBERRY BLONDE , THICK FULL , NATURAL CURLY HAIR , THAT REACHED TO THE GROUND , AT 6 ' 8 FEET TALL ! HER SIDE OF FAMILY'S ARE VERY TALL ! SHE WAS TALL AND VOLUPTUOUS BODY , WITH YOUTHFUL PERKY LARGE BREAST , ( NATURAL ) , HER BODY MEASUREMENTS AT 19 , WAS PERFECT ! 45 - 25 - 45 ! ALL NATURAL ! A BEAUTIFUL BODY ! HER EYE COLOR WAS A MIXTURE OF GREEN AND VIOLET ! HAVE NEVER EVER , SEEN ANYONE AS BEAUTIFUL AS MY DEAREST MOTHER , EVER.!
Cynthia Rothschild 777 lol I bet
Without ps like women this day .. no natural beauty at all
Lily Elsie 🌹
Does anybody ever watch these and hope they will see someone that looks like themselves from the good ole days?!
Beautiful video ( love the music too ! )
I'm completing a book on the Edwardian age in which Evelyn Nesbit is featured; but at the same time I'm drawing a portrait of my personal favorite Gladys Cooper; however ALL ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks for this fantastic video
Some accompanying Edwardian era music would have been wonderful.
Photographers from this period were masters at their craft. The perfect angle, perfect lighting, perfect poses. The dresses, jewelry and hairstyles were exquisite. These types of photos are my favorite. They don't take them like this anymore. Such a pity.
2:47 Ethel Warwick. Her figure is incredible !
Real women. Not plastic like so many today.
Because plastic surgery wasn't an option yet...?
Every woman is a real woman, there's no wrong way of having a body or face
100% true
@@raesmith2164 Plastic surgery became prominent after WW1 to cover up horrific wounds. but now it's used to get bigger tig ol bitties and bums on woman. if you want to get a bigger bum woman, try working out.
Beautiful!
I've seen many of these women but didn't know anything about them. Thx for the upload!
Great informative video. Thanx!!
The saddest thing about beauty is it doesn't stay with you. As it fades, a younger generation steps in to steal the limelight.
Marchant2 *Yes but a mature spouse realizes the value of a Godly and loving heart!*
+Marchant2- I think it's sad that our beauty and energy is wasted while we're young and dumb. When we finally figure things out our lives are half over. Like a cruel joke. Then, like generations before us, we try to tell this to the youth and, like generations before us, they think we don't know anything, that we were never young once too. I do have to say, there is a bit of freedom that comes with not being young and beautiful! It's nice to walk out the door and care less what anyone thinks anymore. heehee!
Marchant2 Of course beauty can stay with you. That implies that only young women can be beautiful which is a total misconception!! And in fact, some women grow more beautiful as they get older. I'm defo better looking now than I was 20 yrs ago.
Singing Crafter totally agree! beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway! Beauty is needed when we are young , compulsive ....ok dumb in the ways of adulthood :-) this is how we attract a mate and hopefully stabilize our lives . Some carry their beauty throughout our lives the rest of us carry our beauty in appearance and personality . It seems that man or woman ... and every human being in between :-) can see beauty through emotion !
a good heart shines through the eyes and is true beauty.
Thanks for this
pure beauty without any plastic surgeries.
Ty for posting
True beauty is absolutely timeless.
Just like a light, they bright, glow, then fades away. Such beauty.
EVELYN NESBIT!
I agree!
yes
Elegant and beautiful women
I love how each was beautiful in her own way with the features she was born with💞😁 each a different flower
great that they are not forgotten and remembred here many thanks
The photography is amazing.
wow, beautiful women, I would likely take as my top ones to vote is Lily Elsie, Evelyn Nesbit and Gladys Cooper, also Marie Doro, she reminded me of Dominique Dunne, to me they look exactly like each other, pretty as they both were.❤🌹
All stunning NATURAL beautiful women...unlike nowadays. Timeless beauty. thanks for posting x
They had such beautiful thick hair, loved the video.
Gladys Cooper is extremely beautiful
A mais linda
Wow a lot of these women lived for a long time.from the late 1800s up to 1970s or 80s.!! wow!!
Lily Elise was perfect
these were truly beautiful women, not like of today. thay had class, and beauty without being almost nude. real beauties
Aye, there was a time when women were "softer"...somewhat more curvy...and altogether more attractive.
You know the "curviness" in these pictures comes from s-corsets and padded clothing?
Soft and petite is also attractive and doesn't require corsets or padding.
Wonderful to see truly beautiful women covered and no tattoos!
I don't know if you are beautiful until we have a conversation
This generation had beautiful HAIR♥
Lily, Maude, and Evelyn are crazy beautiful
All these women exuded dignity and class!
Love the music with this video too!
Lily Elsie (born Elsie Hodder; 8 April 1886 - 16 December 1962) was an English actress and singer during the Edwardian era. She was best known for her starring role in the London premiere of Franz Lehár's operetta The Merry Widow.
Beginning as a child star in the 1890s, Elsie built her reputation in several successful Edwardian musical comedies before her great success in The Merry Widow, opening in 1907. Afterwards, she starred in several more successful operettas and musicals, including The Dollar Princess (1909), A Waltz Dream (1911) and The Count of Luxembourg (1911). Admired for her beauty and charm on stage, Elsie became one of the most photographed women of Edwardian times.
I fell in love a whole lot watching this. Marie Doro is my choice. Almost scared me she's so beautiful. This is my dream woman. Looks-wise. They are all GORGEOUS!
Wow, Geneviève Lantelme is gorgeous, and very beautifully stunning! Tragic though
Gladys Cooper is very beautiful: she is my number one.
You know photographers retouched these photos, right? The ancestors of Photoshop. Being in my 50's, I still have photographer's retouched photos from when I was a child and a teenager. We always looked flawless
thats pretty cool! Do you know how they did it?
I think they worked on the pictures as if they were a painting. This article, published by a portuguese photographer contains details about this work in english. riquecoelho.blogspot.pt/2013/05/como-fotografos-retocavam-suas-fotos.html
+Maria Nunes Interesting, thank you for sharing
+Maria Nunes wow, I suppose alot of pictures that I've seen were done this way- I assumed they were just paintings, but I can see how they would be made from photographs.
yes I know, my parents portraits from Romania during the early 70's makes them look flawless, the skin. They even drew in long lashes on my mother and she has short, barely there lashes. They also added some pink to there cheeks.
This is an impressive reminder that beauty transcends time and place. I don't care that they 'posed' or that there was a bit of makeup -- the fact is that beauty is timeless.
I was surprised to see how ethereally beautiful Gladys Cooper was, as I only know her from "The Twilight Zone" episode "Nothing to Fear in the Dark," in which she played an old lady trying to cheat death, personified by a very young Robert Redford.
she also played the mother of Bette Davis, in the movie On Voyager, and a nun in the movie The Song of Bernadette
Janet M
Yup, it's strange to think of her being considered a beauty when I only know her as an old lady. Also, nitpicking correction: Now Voyager.
519DJW
I really think shes the prettiest here
519DJW iiiiiii
Camille Clifford is the statuesque beauty
And the dress,Sucheta,the DRESS...
Only difference between then and now is the amount of clothing worn. Personally, I enjoy covered because it leaves more to the imagination.
Agreed wholeheartedly
I agree I love the big fancy dresses worn on those eras and it made woman look more beautiful now it's all short dresses and spaghetti straps a woman can look beautiful as aphrodite by being covered and modest
Right on
Agreed
every time I bump into a collage of photos like these, I mourn progress.
Ethel was a popular name.
I was thinking that as well, interesting, to the modern ear, Ethel is a real clunker to the ear, LOL
Its one of those very common names in the past but faded in popularity. yet I heard it so much when young growing up, on TV shows and even songs. remember the song "The streak"? "Don't look Ethel !" :)
she was a famous movie star
@@blueheaven2135 And her grandnice is Drew Barrymore!
Son bellísimas y cuánta dulcura en sus rostros
Gladys Cooper was and remained such a beauty..
Sue Harvey

pure and natural beautys
Gladys Cooper appeared in some 50 movies and was nominated for Academy Awards 3 times
1942 in Now Voyager, 1943 Song of Bernardette and 1964 My Fair Lady an exceptional actress.
Gladys Cooper -- a great actress. Never would've guessed was ever a beauty .... see her as Nun who became doting care giver for Bernadette of Lourdes after despising the girl for years -- the movie: "The Song of Bernadette". Also the mother to Bette Davis in "Now Voyager".
A mais linda

Gladys Cooper a 100 percent is my top pick. she is GORGEOUS.

Beauty is in the eyed of the beholder these were fortunate women who had their photos taken to become famous.
