Brunette Elegance

This lady opens my list for a reason---she exemplifies the combination of cuteness, girlishness, freshness, fitness, and mystique that I associate with classic brunette beauty.

Just look at that flawlessly pretty youthful face and that mix of cuteness and sex appeal!

Nikki is the product of many ethnic influences, thus giving her that sexy mixed look I love so much!

A perfect example of a classy, elegant brunette.

OK, I'm stretching the definition of brunette here, but I don't care. Emma exudes such classiness and adorableness she belongs here. So feminine and lovely.

As a friend of mine said, she owns cute. You can't not find her pretty. So flawless.

A trifecta of brains, funniness, and beauty. LOVE Tina Fey.

A heartthrob from the 80's. Another example of a sexy mixed girl---Russian Jewish, Chinese, and Filipina. Sweet sexy girl next door.

Another classically gorgeous brunette. The pretty face, the well-bred manner, the easy smile!

Do I really need to go into detail? The face, the athletic toned body. Just feast your eyes!

An Australian lovely I happened across. Simple, natural beauty.

That combination of dark haired loveliness and extremely sharp intellect and articulate speech---sexy!

Uh, she's a goddess. That is all.

Swedish, French, Algerian, and Jewish roots combine to create this blend of dark, mysterious beauty. Love those eyes. And yes, I know she is a natural blonde, but she converted to the brunette faith a long time ago!

Once again we have that delectable blend of good breeding, sweetness, politeness and education that are kryptonite for me. Total girl next door hotness and temptation.

That sweet face and the dark locks. I like her skin tone also.

She was my favorite thing about Basic Instinct---no offense to Sharon Stone.

Now this is what royalty should look like! Sophisticated, stylish, educated, aware, and feminine.

A Hollywood legend and timeless beauty. Her performance in Splendor in the Grass is the primary reason why she is here. So effortlessly pretty and pure.

Her face is so symmetrically perfect. And those big gorgeous eyes...

Easily my favorite of the Sex and the City crew. Stylish, statuesque, and luscious hair.

She's not well known in my country, the USA, but that's OK. I know who she is! Those sensual lips, the demure look---so sexy.

Such a natural beauty. Understated good looks.

An exotic French actress I discovered watching films by Jean Claude Brisseau.

This woman epitomizes everything I love about Mediterranean women. Her eyes, her hair, the combination of beauty and warmth. Gotta love Latin women.

The little Spanish cutie from Pan's Labyrinth turned out to be a Spanish beauty, just as I expected.

Spanish-language soap operas ("telenovelas") are repositories of brunette lovelies. So many to choose from. A list of hundreds could be made of them. Maite is a perfect example. From Mexico.

See note for Maite Perroni!

If it hadn't been for WendyLorene I wouldn't have known about her. She is simply perfect. That face is divine. Kitty cat sweetness and hotness. From Brazil.

I saw her in Dark Shadows and never forgot the cute little brunette.

I fell in love with her when I saw her in Oxford Blues as a sexy upper class Brit. Made a lifelong impression.

Discovered her in Skins (UK) by accident. That face made me stop. Wow! Such a cutie. English and Brazilian mix. It works.

Blessed with picture perfect brunette cuteness.

I first noticed her when she was a teenager on the Spanish-language show Control. Then she disappeared from my radar for years. Thank goodness I found this Chilean beauty again.

Undeniably an icon in many ways. An American Audrey Hepburn.

An Irish beauty. She is a news presenter. If it weren't for the internet I wouldn't know of the existence of so many beauties like her.

A Brazilian singer. Mentioned to me by a Brazilian friend. I'm so glad we live in an international world!

She requires no introduction. She is simply Monica the Great.

A beauty from the age of beauty.

This treasure of a woman has a sexy gypsy quality. Like she is hiding a secret from you she will reveal only if you know how to ask the right way...

Behold the only reason I ever saw an episode of How I Met Your Mother. She is brunette perfection. Those beautiful eyes that calmly observe you. The silky hair and kissable lips. Yes, she "smoulders" alright!

A natural beauty. An athlete extraordinaire. A pioneer in women's athletics. A humble soul who always credited her teammates. I love Mia Hamm! I had the honor of seeing her play her last game ever at the Home Depot Center in CA years ago.

Ever seen the movie The Bermuda Depths? I saw it as a young boy. This gorgeous woman was in it. It made an impact on me I can barely describe. She was a mysterious force of nature that was so otherworldy and alluring it literally pained me!

If you saw Blade Runner and did not have a fatal crush on Sean Young, YOU'RE the synthetic human.

Are you seriously going to tell me you don't like Wonder Woman? I didn't think so.

She is THE supermodel. The goddess of my generation. In a category of her own.

Why so many of Jennifer Connelly? I had a HUGE crush on her as a kid when I saw her in Once Upon a Time in America. In fact, my love of brunettes is due in large part to her (and Jaclyn Smith!)

Why so many of Jaclyn Smith? Refer to note about Jennifer Connelly! :)

I close this list with the Queen of Brunettes --- Audrey Hepburn! Such class, such style, such elegance, grace, and femininity. She is the archetype. God bless all such women!
