“Women, with their sure instincts, realized that my intention was to make them not just more beautiful, but also happier.”
Christian Dior
How do you appear when you look most beautiful?
That is a bit of a tough question to answer. But most people are at least aware of or like certain features about themselves. When those features are defined, people may feel like they are at their most beautiful state. For me, I feel most beautiful when my brown eyes are defined and my easy to manage hair is loose and shiny. But this all comes together when I smile a small, but lopsided smile and the subtle dimples around the bottom of my mouth appear. My husband always says that my photographed smile is a bit hesitant, but loves my goofy grins.
I see nothing but pure beauty and elegance in these famous photos from Christian Dior’s campaigns over the last few decades. The air of elegance and sophisticated beauty is readily apparent. But I appreciate Mr. Dior’s quote the best. It isn’t just about appearing beautiful, but feeling beautiful. After all, when we feel beautiful, don’t we in turn feel happy as well? We are confident and carefree about our appearance then.
After all, what is life without beauty and happiness?
I hope you have a few beautiful and happy moments as well friends!
Have a lovely week!
These photos are amazing, I love Dior!! I think when you feel beautiful, you let go of what’s inside and that makes the beauty enhanced. I think when one feels unsure of themselves, they don’t let what’s inside out, that glow and spark, they hide away and even if they have a gorgeous face or whatever, it isn’t the same. But, when you feel it from inside and love what you’re wearing, it explodes :)) Happy Monday doll xx
The first image is so insanely gorgeous to me— and completely pulls me in— I want to be there.
Honestly, I struggle with how I think I look best… I would say my hair off my face is key, although I think bangs are great on me….. beyond that I go through phases of what I like most on me!
Alexis, you definitely look great with your hair pulled up! I definitely change my mind about what looks good on me and go through phases too!
I feel the most beautiful in the morning with messy hair. Ironic for a blogger, right?
Bloggers look good with messy hair too Johanna!
I love these photos and agree that feeling beautiful is the most important thing. When you feel beautiful, you exude beauty and happiness.
DIOR is one of my favorite designers! Thanks for sharing such inspirations.

Absolutely stunning.
Mr. Dior was wise as well as a fashion genius! I associate joy with beauty so I think I’m most beautiful when I’m genuinely happy.

What gorgeous images! I must agree with Mr. Dior…feeling beautiful is half the battle – once you’ve attained that feeling the possibilities are endless!!

Beautiful and happy. That just about sums it up. Sometimes it’s when I’m in the most over the top dress, and sometimes it’s when I’m in a pair of floral shorts, white button down, chambray blazer, and panama hat, living it up in all my preppy glory.
