I genuinely think she would look nicer with a bit of colour to her skin. I also strongly prefer dark haired women over redheads. A tan (whether it be a natural skin tone or a natural looking artificial tan) adds a warm radiant glow to a person.

Besides, do you not find it coincidental that she is one of the only celebrities people put forward as a 'pale beauty', while there are hundreds if not thousands of options if we try to think of tanned celebrities with attractive faces/bodies? This is because pale and hot is a rare combination.

Not a fan of pale skinned at all and love the tannned look however British people should not tan, when white brits tan they look horrible instead of having a golden brown look they have a pinkish/redish burn which looks disgusting.

One of my white male friends is extremely insecure about his skin colour because he's extremely pale and regularly visit the tanning salon which although does give him a more vibrant skin colour it just doesn't suit him.

yeppity yep I totally agree. People just don't want to hear that a natural tan or a pleasant fake tan looks miles better than pale. The average tanned girl is bound to be far better looking than the average pasty girl......posting pics of ONE celeb won't disprove this. Most pale girls look nothing like Rachel M or Christina Hendrics! :s-smilie:



S'all personal opinion in the end but comparing that token Hendricks with Snooki/Other famous oompa loompa smacks of insecurity



edit/



the skin cancer argument doesnt even come into this! Are you kidding? A bottle of QUALITY gradual tanner that leaves you with a soft but flawless tan costs about £10 and SPF costs an extra £10. Nobody is telling you to fry yourself to death jheeze, stop with the extremes. Thats like me saying all pale girls look like they have deep vein thrombosis on their tits!




Most people on this forum like to pretend that a tan is always dark orange. They seem to be completely unfamiliar with the concept of a nice natural tan or a nicely done artificial one.

Penelope Cruz, Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Eva Longria, Aishwarya Rai, Keira Knightley etc. all have a tanned skin tone to varying degrees. Now some of you might not find all of them attractive, but what is certain is that none of them look orange.

100% agree. The pale look is interesting and can be pretty but only on a beautiful girl. The majority of average pale people don't look that great, probably why the Nordic (not Scandinavian!) countries always rank low on lists when compared to Italy or France or Spain. A warm tone like Penelope Cruz's hides imperfections like wrinkles, rosacea, brightens eye whites/teeth, etc and it looks like you have some fun in the sun at least.

Pale = can be gorgeous, rarely so, usually boring
Tan = can be gorgeous, more often so, usually decent
Orange = disgusting, always disgusting

That's not pale.



You are obviously ignorant of science, so I'll explain it to you in a way you might understand. Spending time in the sun not only makes you look much much healthier, it is essential for your health. It is the only way your body can get protection from a whole range of diseases, whilst producing vital vitamins your body needs and gives you healthy skin.

the health benefits of being in the sun are realised before your skin starts to get darker you don't have to make an effort to be in the sun more for that to be achieved just normal day to day activity will do that.
over exposure of the radiation from the sun can weaken the immune system cause skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. doesn't sound healthy to me. oh and the fact that your skin darkens to try and protect you from the harmfulness I think is a good indication that your receiving harmful amounts for that to be triggered

edit: I'm not trying to say tanned is unattractive or anything just saying I don't understand why people say it looks "healthy" specifically

Then I accept that its your personal choice. Its not like Ill call the police or something :tongue:



I think its boring still because a nicely tanned (NOTE: nicely, not Jersey Shore) stands out much more than the many other pale women on the high street. But you have to remember that a pale girl in Korea or India also stands out much more than an olive skinned girl because they are rarer. Eastern pale is radically different from our idea of pale though. They think Katrina Kaif for example is pale as hell whereas we think shes a nice olive colour lol.



S'all relative!

Why would anyone prefer someone who is pale and pasty? :confused:

It looks unhealthy and unnatural, unless for some reason you stay indoors all day, or your dad is Josef Fritzl.

Girls who are so pale you can see green veins popping out are vomit inducing, it's unattractive and unpleasant.
They should get out some more and get some vitamin E.

Tanned skin at least looks healthy.


Don't be ridiculous. How can naturally pale skin be/look unnatural? I have fair skin that burns easily therefore I wear high SPF suncream that prevents me from tanning easily. I apologise if my not wanting to get skin cancer offends you.

Tanned. Olive or very light brown skin looks best.

Pale skin = yuk

LOL @ the pasty nerds on this forum voting for their own skin tone. :teehee:

Let's face it... there is a reason why most hollywood actresses, famous musicians, popular girls in general society etc. have tans. It's because looking like a ghost is not a good look.


It's entirely subjective though, isn't it?! Both look god for different people. I don't understand why people have to be slaves to trends. Be yourself and be happy with what you have. You can rock both looks.
