Move, old Helena of Troy – there’s a new one Gen-Z beauty on the court.
Meet Yael Shelbia, the stunning Israeli who has just been crowned the winner of 2020 on TC Candler’s annual list of the “100 most beautiful faces of the year”.
“I never came first in anything … it is very good,” said the 19-year-old, who is currently doing her mandatory military service in the Israeli Air Force, to the Times of Israel.
The hot model and fledgling actress is also number 1 in the book of at least one other person: Shelbia is reportedly dating Brandon Korff, 35, grandson of the late CBS and billionaire honcho Viacom Sumner Redstone, who was expelled from Israel for eliminating the quarantine rules of COVID-19 last spring, when he secretly visited Shelbia.
The requisite blue-eyed brunette, who is campaigning for Israeli fashion company Renuar, KM earbuds and Kim Kardashian’s KKW Beauty makeup line, is also an Instagram star whose page is full of sexy selfies for her nearly 1 million followers.
“Thank you @tccandler and all the voters 💕💕 Thank you with all my heart !!” Shelbia posted on ‘Gram after his global victory.
But she also drew attention from the prestigious face classification list for years, which ranked Shelbia in third place in 2018.
She can also be a wonderful woman – from the world of beauty, at least – as the arrogant teenager overcame an Israeli colleague, actress from DC Universe and Miss Israel 2004 Gal Gadot, 35, who came in 21st place.
Quite a compliment, considering the official criteria to compose the list of 30 years: “Aesthetic perfection is only one of the criteria. Grace, elegance, originality, boldness, passion, class, balance, joy, promise, hope … all these are embodied in a beautiful face. ”
Unlike most other annual “beauty rankings”, founder TC Candler claims that his “list is not a popularity contest and is definitely not country specific. It is not the sexiest body or the most famous celebrity. Instead, the list tries to inform and broaden public opinion, instead of reflecting it. You’ll find superstars and new stars, global sensations and relative unknowns. “
And, after all, as the legendary Russian philosopher Fyodor Dostoyevsky is quoted in the viral video below, presenting Shelbia’s fierce competition, “Beauty will save the world”.
