Superdrug Britain's second-largest beauty and health retailer, commissioned a study to look for 2011's beauty icons. The result was this fascinating list of stunning women.



She's blossomed from a gawky young girl to a stunning teenager with an ease that should serve as a lesson to every single child actor in showbiz.

Emma Watson of the pixie haircut fame came eighth in the list of the top beauty icons.




The sexy songstress and the newest mother-to-be Beyonce appeared on this list for the first time. She finished seventh.




Tulisa Contostavlos, the singer-songwriter and that sexy celebrity X Factor judge of Greek-Irish descent (how does one even manage that, whew!) came six in the list.




Television presenter Holly Willoughby who recently sported a sexy new curly hairstyle as she modelled her new Spring/Summer 2012 collection finished five in the beauty icons of 2011 list.

Willoughby, a mother-of-two and This Morning television presenter who was replaced by Christine Bleakley on Dancing on Ice is now looking forward to hosting a new talent show -- The Voice -- which judges people only by their voice rather than their looks.
