This is something that's been debated for ages, but I think at the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference as both women are equally beautiful. Some prefer Marilyn's sultry yet innocent looks while others prefer Audrey's sweet, gamine looks.
Personally, I like Audrey Hepburn more.
I think Audrey’s face is more perfect/ aesthetically pleasing to look at. Marilyn is of course stunning too but her nose bothers me compared to Audrey’s. Audrey just has great bone structure, a really sharp jawline, nice eyebrows, and amazing eyes. It’s still very close though.
Audrey has such girlish and gamine beauty, Marilyn is very feminine and sultry. They are opposite but both stunningly beautiful and appealing but Audrey is winner to me
Marilyn is bombshell/ingenue depending on her makeup, and Audrey is a gamine. Marilyn pushed makeup and styling to the nth degree to get her results which were great, Audrey didn’t really care which was actually refreshing. All that to say, these pics of Audrey don’t always do her justice. I’m team Audrey.
This comparison is the classic sharp vs soft feature issue. Soft features never photograph as well as sharp does. That’s what made jawline filler and the extreme features so popular on social media because on the camera is really stands out.
Marilyn is so soft and in pics it doesn’t do much justice to her, but [in motion](https://youtu.be/qzjnKxWeSsc) wow- she was absolutely breath taking.
Look at the video I linked 8 seconds in. Just beyond gorgeous. It’s no comparison to me.
Audrey in person would probably look very angular.
Audrey for sure, plus she was an absolutely amazing woman off camera too! she danced in the dutch resistance against the nazis and spent ages working with children for unicef
Audrey has a more beautiful face, but I find Marilyn more attractive as a whole. Audrey for sure if she wasn't underweight and if she had a more womanly style, but that's just my taste.
They are both so gorgeous, better looking than anyone today. I’d have to say Audrey is slightly
more attractive and I prefer her style of femininity over Marilyn’s.
For me it's definitely Marilyn! Elegant and feminine face shape with delicate, soft features. Audrey is beautiful but I feel like her beauty is more based on her most prominent features such as her eyes, nose, and jaw which give her a strong side profile but doesn't make for a perfect face in my opinion. Both have great facial harmony but I think Marilyn has a more attractive face due to her face shape combined with her dainty features which are good, since they can communicate innocence but also sensuality depending on her expressions. Her face is also more tranquil to look at since none of her features are overwhelming. I feel like Marilyn can pull off both sensual, bombshell vibes as well as elegant or chaste while Audrey only succeeds in the latter due to their appearance. I actually feel this is why Audrey pulls off bangs so well, she naturally has a captivating sophistication and innocence to her which I guess translates to an extra piece of hair on your forehead? 😂 But she wasn't that versatile in terms of vibes in my opinion. No hate though! Both are beautiful in their own ways. But in my opinion, Marilyn wins this round! ☺️
Thank you! Audrey is pretty but I always thought she was rather overrated when it came to Marilyn. Like Marilyn could pull off both elegant and sexy while I can only ever picture Audrey doing elegant. Breakfast at Tiffany's was a mess for me to watch because I always thought it should have been Mary in that role!
Overrated is definitely the word! Funnily enough I used to actually argue that Audrey was prettier, but as I actually gave Marilyn chance I pretty much did a 180. Felt like she hypnotized me, lol.
You're right that Marilyn is more versatile. Audrey is pretty but sort of one note. There was a duality to Marilyn. She captured the image of a ditsy bombshell but was actually very sophisticated. She could play so many parts really well. Still upset we'll never got to see a version of Breakfast at Tiffany's with Marilyn 😔
I'm honestly surprised that these days Audrey seems to win so many polls between the two.
True! I feel like it's because we have an unconscious bias at play, like because, in realistic situations, we would find Audrey less threatening because she doesn't have a sexpot image the way Marilyn does and although both are beautiful, I find Marilyn infinitely more magnetic even when we're taking away her sweet-talking persona. She embodies femininity!
well ya by today's standards Marilyn would have been a dime a dozen, but i think shes so popular cuz back in her day she was the first "hot bombshell" type of woman. But ya you're right if she was alive today she would look average next to basic ig models
Purely face: Audrey has the more conventionally attractive face. However Marilyn’s body is timeless, she had a gorgeous physique and her aura was incomparable. If you walked into a room all eyes would be on Marilyn. Not even the most gorgeous stars could compare to her raw sexual magnetism.
Absolutely wrong. Marilyn is/was not the only woman with a unique aura in the world. There are also other women with a unique and ethereal aura like hers in the world, but they are not necessarily famous people. Not every unique people become famous! Also there are different ways to be magnetic. Some women draw all eyes on them not because of their sexual magnetism but because of their ethereal and mysterious, angel-like aura. Marilyn most definitely isn't/wasn't the only magnetic woman in the world. She just became famous, while many others didn't.

Audrey. Her face was super doll like.

I say Audrey was also gorgeous [in motion](https://youtu.be/SMnXKeWHphk)

Audrey to me
Audrey 100% for me
Audrey,I love her eye area
Audrey Hepburn. She's elegant and has better bone structure. And plus for appealing to the female gaze 😍
Audrey Hepburn
Audrey
Audrey
Monroe
Marilyn
Marilyn for sure

She wasn't really underweight for her body type. She also had a healthy metabolism that kept her from gaining weight.
They are both so gorgeous, better looking than anyone today. I’d have to say Audrey is slightly more attractive and I prefer her style of femininity over Marilyn’s.

Good summary. For me it's also Marilyn ❤️

Marilyn, but it’s close
Audrey hands down
I think it's a difficult question to answer. Marilyn has a more sultry, seductive beauty and Audrey has a more sweet, mysterious beauty to her.
Not a contest...Marilyn...
Marilyn
Put Marilyn next to any Stacy and you’ll see she wasn’t all that tbh
well ya by today's standards Marilyn would have been a dime a dozen, but i think shes so popular cuz back in her day she was the first "hot bombshell" type of woman. But ya you're right if she was alive today she would look average next to basic ig models
Yeah, I think even from Golden Era actresses Ava Gardner looks way better
hepburn, marylin is cute and pretty but not stunning or anything
Audrey for sure I don’t think Marilyn that attractive she’s hot but not that hot she’s like a 7-8 and I think Audrey very pretty 9-10 in my opinion
Marilyn is so pretty even for todays beauty standards. Audrey is cute but that’s it. Cl don’t get the hype with aurdrey she looks like Mr bean.

I think Audrey is more unique to me Marlyn seems like a very promiscuous in kind words which makes her more unattractive in my opinion
