So after the most beautiful Japanese, Italian, French, and Latinas how about we feature the most beautiful Irish women to ever grace the 4 media. There are a lot really. But we’re going to feature those you are familiar with and maybe perhaps the ones you didn’t know were Irish (or at least have Irish blood in them). Oh yes, this listicle, you’ll go back to once in a while. Oh, and if you think we missed one or two, please do leave a comment. We’ll be sure to edit and include those.

Hazel O’Sullivan
Just one look at Hazel O’Sullivan is enough to understand why she has ended up on our list of the most beautiful Irish women in the world. Her cascading locks and her bust have helped her become famous in the UK — and rub shoulders with celebrities.
Hazel is most famous as a Big Brother housemate and WAG (Wives and Girlfriends). Hazel is now a dedicated mom that hasn’t lost even a bit of her sexiness.
What makes Hazel so incredible? She has come out as a winner after going through a crazy childhood. Moreover, she has done well for herself by staying sociable and making friends with the right people. Some catty women would say she’s manipulative, but you cannot trust such stories.
Tiffany Stanley

Rozanna Purcell
When she was 19, Roz Purcell won Miss Universe Ireland 2010. Ever since then, we haven’t been able to forget how gorgeous she is — and neither has the world. Roz has branched out since then. She was even a judge at the Miss Venezuela 2010 pageant, a stint that was brought upon by her winning a place in the top 10 at Miss Universe 2010.
Yet, Roz is also one of the most beautiful Irish women alive due to her commitment to a healthy lifestyle. She’s not afraid to show her flaws, but she works hard on staying in shape, and the results are evident if you take just one glance at her curves. She even published a cookbook Natural Born Feeder in 2016 and often posts her recipes online, showing everyone that eating healthy is quite possible, even when you’re as busy as Roz.
Laura Whitmore

With that success, she released a follow-up single at the beginning of 2015. In September 2013, Nadia also sang the national anthem prior to Ireland’s international football match against Sweden.
Holly Carpenter
Beauty and brains — that’s exactly how we would describe Holly Carpenter, one of the most beautiful Irish women the world has ever seen. A granddaughter of Terry Keane, Holly grew up in Dublin in the suburbs. She speaks three languages and was in the process of getting her degree when she won the Miss Ireland national beauty pageant, which helped her start her career as a model. It didn’t take her long to catch someone’s eye. Later, she even went on to take part in Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model.
No stranger to the celebrity status, Holly stayed in the limelight over the years. She took part in Celebrity MasterChef Ireland in 2017 and Dancing with the Stars in 2019. Moreover, she was even a Herald newspaper columnist at one point.
Vogue Williams
An Irish model, reality star, and television host who is best recognized for appearing on Dancing with the Stars Australia, Stepping Out, and Bear Grylls: Mission Survive.

In 2009, at the age of 19, Laura was deemed the title of “Northern Ireland’s only Glamour Model” by the press.
Louise Byrne
Louise is a new face in the modeling world, but she has already landed some great gigs and had a chance to work with some of the most popular brands. Furthermore, her face is just what the modeling world is after. She offers classic beauty that looks good in any setting, and her brown hair and eyes ooze with warmth.
Still, that isn’t to say Louise Byrne is not hot. Indeed, since she is a model, maintaining her physique is a must, and Louise does it quite well. However, she’s natural, and her beauty is subtle. Hopefully, we’ll see more of her in different magazines and newspapers.
Kelly Horrigan
With incredible cheekbones, luscious locks, and a body to die for, Kelly Horrigan deserves a spot on our list of the most beautiful Irish women. She has it all — looks and brain — and more importantly, she’s not afraid to show it!
Kelly has been modeling since she was 15, and during that time, she has established a career many girls would envy. However, she is not looking for modeling to be her be-all and end-all. She is also working in marketing with her digital marketing and online branding agency. Kelly herself says modeling was always a plan B, but we have to say she shouldn’t quit it just yet. With a body like hers and natural beauty, she could be one of the greats one day!
Abby Harris
Abby Harris describes herself as a “professional clothes hanger” and a “human mannequin” — but we can tell she’s more than that. The Irish beauty has been making waves in the modeling world since 2015 and is now one of the most popular Irish models.
Abby’s unassuming beauty is probably to blame for her whirlwind career. Her bone structure is just what the modeling world needs, and she has the classic Irish beauty: long, brown hair, and blue eyes.
Joanne Northey
From Greystones, Wicklow, Joanne is slowly building her social media following and showing everyone why she’s one of the most beautiful Irish women in the world. However, at the same time, she’s keeping up with all the trends and branching out. As a fine print graduate and artist, Joanne Northey has the creativity necessary to further her career down the line.
In the meantime, she’s taking modeling jobs without getting into all the drama. She praises the fact that the industry is now looking for more natural women and hopes the notion continues. Furthermore, she’s not afraid to talk about her insecurities. Getting judged and compared to other beautiful women every day is difficult to overcome.
Rachel Montague
As a dancer and model, Rachel Montague has built quite a career for herself in Ibiza. Even though she arrived without any money in 2009, she quickly caught the attention of a model agency. Soon after, she got plenty of modeling gigs. Even today, she is doing various photoshoots in front of an exotic backdrop.
When it comes to sexy Irish women, Rachel sure knows how to play with the camera. She brings out her allure for all her photoshoots and isn’t afraid to show off her assets.
