Uniting the names of worldwide beauties, TC Candler's 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2021 has finally been revealed to the world.
According to the list-making critics, the annual roundup is determined not merely by popularity or visuals.
“It aims to be a very international list and one that is inclusive of many cultures, lifestyles, professions, and degrees of fame…Aesthetic perfection is only one of the criteria. Grace, elegance, class, poise, joy, promise, hope...they are all embodied in a beautiful face,” they highlighted.
Challenging the ideal definition of beauty, TC Candler aims to feature modern-day women who can help shape and inform others about the truths and realities around the world.
Read the stories of the world's most beautiful faces in 2021 as ranked by TC Candler.
In 2013, Nana debuted as second in TC Candler's roundup of Most Beautiful Faces and later claimed the coveted first spot for the next two years. Since then, she has consistently top-ranked in the list and was also hailed the Most Beautiful Face of the Decade last year.
The South Korean superstar serves as the main dancer and visual of the well-loved girl group, After School, which popularized songs like “Because of you,” and “bang.”
Now her seventh year on the list, the former Victoria's Secret (VS) Angel was once again recognized for her breathtaking visuals.
Jasmine's colorful history on runways and editorials earned her an impressive resumé in the world of modeling. She landed Forbes' list of “The World's Highest Paid Models” in 2016, joining the likes of fellow VS models Karlie Kloss, Kendall Jenner, and Gigi Hadid.
Late this year, she sealed the deal with Snapchat executive Juan David Borrero at a real-life fairytale wedding in Quito, Ecuador.
The 18-year-old singer-web actress is a newcomer to the roundup of the world's most beautiful faces.
Her top claim in the 2016 edition of Indonesian Idol made her the show's youngest winner at only sixteen years old, and eventually, this opened more doors for her in the music industry.
Early this year, Lyodra released her highly-anticipated, self-titled debut album which was well-received by both music critics and fans.
Tzuyu has been a mainstay on the list since 2015. She also ranked high in the 30 Most Beautiful Faces of the Decade published last year.
The Taiwan-born idol belongs to the phenomenal K-pop girl group, TWICE, known for their hit tracks “Feel Special,” “FANCY,” and “What is Love.” She also recently released her solo melody project, enlisting Bang Chan of Stray Kids on a cover of Taylor Swift's “ME!”
Yael dropped a few spots from her top rank in 2020, but her name has made consistent appearances in the roundup since 2017.
At a young age, she has already earned a laudable list of modeling projects but the strong connection she maintains with her religion, despite being in the chaotic entertainment industry, is also worth looking at.
Yael once confirmed that she had lost several modeling contracts because of her faithful adherence to the Sabbath and their restrictions in clothing choices.
The Korean-American singer landed her fourth consistent comeback on the record of beauties this year.
After her second-place finish in Mnet's 2016 reality survival show, Nancy scored the opportunity to debut for MLD Entertainment's girl group, Momoland. The K-pop superstars were propelled into greater fame when their 2018 song “Bboom Bboom” became a megahit in many countries around the world.
The Filipino-Moroccan YouTube sensation marked her second appearance on the list, significantly advancing from her 11th spot last year.
Since the launch of her own YouTube channel in 2019, Ivana has amassed over 14.6 million subscribers as of this writing. She also recently made a special appearance for Sub Urban and Bella Poarch's music video for their collaboration track titled “Inferno.”
Halima is also in her second year in the roundup of beauties.
The Somali-American humanitarian and former model made history for being the first hijab-wearing aspirant at the Miss Minnesota USA pageant. She later signed with IMG Models where she became the first to sport a hijab on the cover of elite magazines like British Vogue, Essence Magazine, and Allure.
Last year, Halima revealed that she had quit runway modeling because the nature of the job conflicted with her religious beliefs. She also mentioned that she would only be open to accepting modeling projects given that she could set her own conditions.
The Norwegian nutrition blogger-musician has been on TC Candler's annual list of Most Beautiful Faces for six years now.
She started blogging in 2009 and quickly rose to become Norway's most-read blog a year later. However, her relationship with blogging wasn't always smooth-sailing since she temporarily shelved her blog in 2011 after feeling burnt out. She relaunched her blog in 2015 and stopped again in 2017.
Emilie finally returned almost three years ago, expanding her blog's reach to the rest of the world despite it being written in Norweigan. In 2020, she renovated her YouTube channel to cater to subjects concerning health, cooking, and nutrition.
Now on her sixth year on the list, global superstar Lisa Manoban from BLACKPINK has claimed her crown as TC Candler's most beautiful face of 2021.
