These Asian celebs deserve to be the 'World's Most Beautiful Woman,' just like Julia Roberts

We all know for a fact that actress Julia Roberts is gorgeous. But to prove that she's otherworldly kind of gorgeous, the Pretty Woman actress has just been crowned 2017's 'World's Most Beautiful Woman' by People magazine.

And this isn't the first time 49-year-old Roberts has bagged the headline-worthy title. The magazine - which started 'The 50 Most Beautiful People in the world' list in 1990 - has named her the 'Most Beautiful Woman in the World' for a grand total of five times, according to People.com.

We all know that award winning actress Carina Lau has acted in countless movies and some of her most iconic ones include Days of being wild, 2046 and Internal Affairs.

Off-screen, the 51-year-old actress also assumes the role of businesswoman and designer. Her fashion label Anirac (if you're wondering, yes it's her name spelt backwards) was established in 2015. She's also recently presented her new A/W'17 collection at the Shanghai Fashion Week.

Shu Qi may be every man's dream girl (erm sorry guys, she's already taken), but she's also earned recognition on her acting over her career.

The movie actress won her first performance award as a Best Supporting Actress at the 16th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1997. Since then, she's been nominated and won numerous awards at ceremonies including the Golden Horse Awards.

Her role in Chinese action movie The Assassin also saw her taking home the Best Actress trophy at the 10th Asian Film Awards last year.

She's a humourous host, sexy mum and budding movie actress. On screen, the entertaining Dee Hsu is mostly unafraid of poking fun at herself as well as other celebrities.

Since 2004, she's been co-hosting famous Taiwanese entertainment show Kangsi Coming. That's until last year when the show wrapped up after her co-host Kevin Tsai tendered his resignation.

Boasting a bubbly personality and bombshell figure, Hsu is one of the top Taiwanese celebrities to have consistently attracted endorsements ranging from shampoos and skincare to fashion and lingerie.

Chinese mega star Fan Bingbing has certainly come a long way after her period drama My Fair Princess. Besides being a leading lady, Fan is now a television producer with her own production company called Fan Bingbing Studio.

In 2009, she produced a 36-episode television series titled The Last Night of Madam Chin, featuring co-stars Taiwanese actor Vic Chou and our very own Ah Jie Fann Wong.

Successful career aside, Fan is also in a romantic relationship with dishy actor Li Chen. The pair fronted fast fashion label H&M's Chinese New Year campaign earlier this year.

Fashion girls will find Liu Wen very familiar. The Chinese fashion model has walked numerous runways and fashion shows including Chanel, Victoria's Secret and Burberry. Liu has also fronted fashion and beauty campaigns like H&M, Calvin Klein and Estee Lauder.

The 29-year-old model made headlines earlier this year for being the first Asian to grace the cover of American Vogue, reported CNN. That isn't something all models can claim so kudos Liu!

Admired by throngs of fans for her beauty, South Korean actress and International celebrity Kim Tae Hee is the perfect face for the girl-next-door look.

She broke into the entertainment scene with her debut hit drama Stairway to Heaven in 2003. The newcomer then proceeded to bag the New Star Award at SBS Drama Awards in the same year.

Fast forward to 2017, Kim wedded hunky Korean celebrity and singer Rain. And just last month, we flew to Kuala Lumpur to meet with the star herself.

Kim, who was there for Bonia's flagship store opening, drew a massive crowd to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur shopping mall. Now that is what we call star power.
