Golden Girls: Iconic Blondes Throughout the Ages

Subscribe
After the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" was released in 1953, many people began wondering if the famous quote was actually true. Many blonde bombshells have done well in the modelling and the acting industry and have been "vastly over-represented" in the media.

A study published in The Journal of Social Psychology in 2017 reveals that men apparently do prefer blonde women to their darker or red-haired counterparts.

Light-haired women are considered to be more attractive, younger, and healthier. 

Sputnik's photo gallery presents a compilation of the most stunning celebrities of all time: actresses, models, singers, and two real princesses from all around the world.
