Rose Crowned 'Most Beautiful'! But Who Took #2?!

But Rosé wasn't the only one celebrating. Singapore saw some love in the male category, with actor Ayden Sng landing an impressive third place on the "100 Most Handsome Faces" list. Fellow Singaporean actor Glenn Yong also climbed the ranks, securing the 20th position. Not bad for the little red dot, eh?

Now, let's be real, TC Candler's "100 Most Beautiful/Handsome Faces" lists have been around since 1990, and they’re always a bit of a talking point. While the organization’s definition of aesthetic appeal has undeniably gained global recognition, the whole thing is, you know, subjective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all. And the lack of transparency in the selection process has led to criticism over the years. Some say it's just a popularity contest fueled by dedicated fanbases.

Despite the debate, there's no denying these lists generate buzz. The internet predictably exploded with reactions Sunday night. And speaking of fanbases, Rosé's Blackpink bandmates also made the cut. Jisoo, Lisa, and Jennie ranked 11th, 22nd, and 46th, respectively, proving Blackpink's visual dominance is still going strong. American actress Sydney Sweeney came in second place, moving up seven spots from last year. Familiar faces like Zendaya and Margot Robbie also appeared, though further down the list at 23rd and 83rd.

Ayden Sng's third-place finish is a major win for the Singaporean actor. He actually surpassed some seriously big names in Hollywood, including Henry Cavill (4th), Chris Hemsworth (8th), and even Glen Powell (11th). He also managed to outrank K-pop icon Jungkook of BTS (14th), as well as veterans like Idris Elba (48th) and David Beckham (84th). Only Chinese singer-actor Zhang Zhehan and Australian actor Jacob Elordi snagged the top two spots. Sng's jump from ninth place last year to third this year is a testament to his growing appeal.

And let's not forget Glenn Yong, who climbed a respectable 15 places to secure the 20th position. This marks his fourth consecutive year on the "Most Handsome Faces" list, solidifying his status as a global heartthrob. Whether you agree with TC Candler's choices or not, the lists certainly provide some interesting food for thought and a reminder of just how diverse and fascinating the concept of beauty really is.
