"Breath taking" is an adjective often used to describe something exceptionally beautiful. For me, there's only three women that I would say literally made me pause my breath at their beauty - Raquel Welch, Whitney Houston in her heyday and the other is personal and I'm biased in that regard.
Let's just say Raquel Welch's fleet would rout Helen of Troy's.
For me the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life - not even close
Heather Locklear
Late 80s I am working the backstage entrance to a Motley Crue show when she was married to Tommy Lee. I see some limo driver coming my way and I am about to stop him and ask to see his backstage pass when he steps aside and behind him was Heather. She was around 27-28ish - the age when women are at their most beautiful. It was 25-ish years ago but that moment is frozen in time for me forever. She was styled to the NINES! Nice hair, smile that buckled my knees and she wore an almost sheer blouse with a blue jeans jacket over her shoulder and sprayed on super tight blue jeans. She walked past me and I stood there helpless - like a statue (between my legs was that hard, too). She has aged now but back then - WOW!!!!!!
I saw Whitney in concert the first tour she had - the worst show I have ever seen. She has ZERO stage presence and was pitiful. People paid great money to see her yet were walking out before the show ended it was that bad. I only stayed because I had to - I was getting paid to stay or else I would have left.
Like you one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen is someone I worked with who no one here would know but to this day I regret letting her "get away." I wanted to Marry Her the second I saw her and was too scared to ask her out until I finally got the courage - only to find out she was an intern whose internship ended (She was about 5-7 years younger than me so not that big of an age gap). Just hearing her name now some 20+ years later hurts
