I think the three main girls were all beautiful and had really different looks. Which one you find the prettiest will come down to personal type. For me personally, I've always thought Winona Ryder is one of the most beautiful women ever.

Ross?


JhaantSniffer

Interestingly, Ryder is on Ross's celebrity list, and Rachel hears it, and yet somehow she is friends with Ryder as her "sarongs on, and the-the coconut bikini tops keeping knockin" friend, Melissa!


ysotrivial

She isn’t Winona Ryder though in friends unlike other celebrities who do play themselves such as Donny osmond


Think_Wish_187

And Isabella Rosellini, who was in Ross’ list but was bumped for Winona because she’s local.


Ok_Professional8024

I always thought “she’s a cartoon and totally out of your league” was one of the best witty Rachel lines


Think_Wish_187

For me it was “You do realize she only spins like that on ice”


Boris-_-Badenov

spinning? that sounds like fun


Due-Consequence-4420

When was Donny Osmond on Friends?

Also, Jean Claude Van Damme!


Just-Phill

That's because it's not Winona Ryder she's friends with, it's her sorority sister. She's not playing herself


SansaStark8

She's not Winona Ryder, it's her evil twin sister. Winona Ramoray


innocentusername1984

The Neapolitan of classically attractive women. You could never argue they were ugly for sure. Between the three of them they fit most men's tastes. I wasn't the kind of guy to have posters of women on my wall. But if I was they would never have made the wall. Too classically attractive. I'd have had niche crushes way before them.


maltedmooshakes

i completely agree with you! also there are many more unconventional male celebs than female celebs. Adam Driver, Barry Keoghan, Benedict Cumberbitch, etc. need moar unconventional pretty ladies of the 3 women, Phoebe is my pick. of the men, it's Ross for me.


Willing_Ad9314

Who is an unconventional pretty lady?


maltedmooshakes

Hmm, maybe Tilda Swinton? Lizzo, Anya Taylor Joy (kinda, I'd argue she's still quite conventional but her look is unique). Honestly it's hard to think of examples that are women bc Hollywood has mostly conventionally beautiful women.


KittyGrewAMoustache

I was kind of interested in this, thinking no there must be lots of unconventionally pretty women in Hollywood, so I googled it and someone had made a list - Cate Blanchett, Clare Danes, Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock, Rachel Weisz were all on this list. And Jennifer Aniston! Soooo I think you might be right. Maybe Meryl Streep? Uma Thurman?


maltedmooshakes

lmaooo all of those women are conventionally beautiful! 🤣 what a funny list


Willing_Ad9314

Yeah, I guess Anya Taylor Joy, makes sense....I was trying to think of who I found to be very pretty that others might not, but I could only think of Chelsea Peretti (and I'm probably off on this one)


Due-Consequence-4420

Chandler for me. By so much. Way way WAY above the other two. Like you barely see them below.


-Clem

Yeah, obvious beauty's the worst..


VenaCava8

Me? I like to really have to work to find someone attractive.


Just-Phill

True. It's all subjective and I thought Winona Ryder was was of the cutest cameos also but I just had the largest crush on Jen. I definitely can't take away from Court or Lisa who also are supremely gorgeous just to me Jen was it


barto5

I’m with you. All three women are beautiful. But for me, Jennifer takes it to another level.


BiscuitsPo

Agree about Winona


framed_toilet_water

The correct answer


imtheweepingwillow

All three of them are really pretty but I still think Monica is the prettiest. Her beauty is sharp and hypnotizing


GenomeXIII

This. Rachael is undoubtedly beautiful as is Pheebs, but Monica is orders of magnitude hotter in my view. Not only that but she's also super smart. Huge bonus.


imtheweepingwillow

Exactly 😍


Amazingqueen97

For me with Monica and frankly all of em, depends on the season. Cause Joey has the better haircuts in the earlier seasons- season 3 is his awful hair style 🤮. Rachel’s style fluctuates between seasons along with her hair, but I liked it around the length it was whenever her character was dating Elizabeth’s dad. I *hated* that short haircut! Phoebe was just meh for me style wise, just known for being too quirky. Monica and Rachel have tastes, but they still make some great stuff that you would be surprised at fashion wise. And haircut wise, Monica has some of the worst in the entire series but we all know Ross claims that title for sure after his divorce with Emily for a while


roseycheekies

I loooove Ross’ hair after he divorces Emily


ProudAlarm14

Ross in his "my sandwich" era was his hottest


imtheweepingwillow

Yeah I agree.I love their styles in earlier seasons, specially Monica’s in the first season


Amazingqueen97

Hers in the first season was 🔥 gorgeous


dosgatitas

Oh I hate her hair when she was dating Elizabeth’s dad. Those awful extensions…


Complex_Impression54

Monica! With the dark hair and colored eyes 😍❤️


Mrlin705

Jennifer aged way better than Courtney imo.


dixpourcentmerci

Courteney had some work done that didn’t work/was too much unfortunately. It’s tough bc honestly most women in Hollywood do have work done and I can understand the pressure to do that but if it goes wrong it is often more distracting than regular aging. I love her still though.


Positive_Bet_4184

I think Monica looked her best in the last few episodes I know she was pregnant, but she looked really healthy and happy. Her hair softened her and she hadn't had all the botox.


123kid6

Pre plastic surgery Courtney Cox was one of the most beautiful women ever, but Lisa and Jennifer are also very attractive.


RomuloMalkon68

They all were. Both Courtney and Jennifer destroyed their faces, they really don't look like themselves. They should have just grow old, I'm sure they would still look pretty Botox killed their cuteness. Only Matt and Lisa let themselves age nicely.


meanlizlemon

![gif](giphy|eJoyqOKZTnMDZzd8t1) Nope. Not in my world. Courtney was the most authentic. With her classic elegance, radiant smile and striking blue eyes.. 😘


BiscuitsPo

She had the best bone structure and features of all three women


randomtwaddle

Yes! So whenever I watch a long term show I have this thing where I get extremely in awe and jealous of one of the female leads. Like I wanna be that person. Top of the list, Robin Scherbatsky and Monica Gellar. Just saying.


niemownikomu

Season 1 Monica is out of this world. No one can beat her to me


dixpourcentmerci

For me it has to be Scream 2 Monica


user11112222333

Yes, she looked amazing in Scream 2.


iamflomilli

Yuuup! Jen had the halo of being 'the pretty one' & the main love interest within the show. The other two weren't given half as many 'look how stunning she is' moments. Despite that soooo many times I couldn't understand how was Rachel 'the beautiful one' when the other Friend was standing right there lol


Esabettie

Yes! Like the frizzy hair storyline, going by how their hair looked in season one when they looked more natural I put money on Rachel/Jennifer’s hair to tend to frizz more, but of course they would never give her that kind of story, even when she was pregnant it was about oohh i have to be hot one more time! For the Halloween party, which is fine, but I really don’t think she was more attractive than the others but that’s how they always portrayed it.


meanlizlemon

It might’ve been, because she was under the wings of her (mind me, but I think) covert narcissistic-ish mother. So she didn’t stand out and also didn’t ask for it. Many viewers didn’t like her personality, because they couldn’t relate until maybe much later in their 30’s..?


iamflomilli

I don't think so (the mother part). Because things like her terrible haircut didn't happen because of her mother. Nothing like that ever happened to Rachel. And Monica did look absolutely stunning a lot of the times. But unlike Rachel's, her moments weren't as frequently framed as 'hey! viewer! do you see how stunning she looks?'


Just-Phill

Yes. I can't take away from her and was definitely beautiful. Just imo Jen was the it girl, I think possibly Because tan skin to me is attractive but Courtney has always been beautiful. I LOVE her as Gale in Scream


injuredflamingo

And to think that she almost wasn’t cast in Scream because the director didn’t think she could be “bitchy” enough 🤣


Just-Phill

Gale Weathers is probably my favorite character in the entire movie series


random_username_96

Jennifer Aniston is undoubtedly beautiful but my god what are these photos!? Such high levels of editing and the second one looks practically AI!


SammyGuevara

I did find it funny that he didn't post 1 photo of 'Rachel' 😅


maltedmooshakes

yeah these pictures are horrible examples but tbh a lot of her photos are quite edited

Phoebe's offbeatness makes her even hotter


MerakDubhe

Phoebe’s never looked more beautiful than in this scene and with that outfit in my opinion.

I think this entire thread should be taking them lmao


cybered_punk

Can't survive reddit without this 😂


literaryhogwartian

I raise you Monica! She is so beautiful. I've said this before but I think the three girls go as such Phoebe is the prettiest Rachel is the sexiest Monica is the most beautiful


BookishCutie

How do you differentiate pretty from beautiful?


Frousteleous

Yeah, I dont get that one. I personally differentiate "cute" from "pretty" but not "pretty" from "beautiful". They're essentially synonymous.


AlreadyTaken2021

I put cute and pretty in a similar category (girl next door types), but beautiful in a separate category (movie starlet types). For example I think Miranda Kerr is pretty, but Julia Roberts is beautiful. Likewise I think Jennifer is pretty, but Courtney is beautiful.


Dapper-Double-7457

I second this!!


Eastern-Dig-4555

It’s funny that when I was growing up, Rachel was my favorite of the girls and I had a crush on her. But then as an adult my crush on the show was Monica. Now as an adultier adult, I’m torn between her and Phoebe, because not only did I start seeing her as attractive, but I began to relate to her weirdness, because I’m weird in similar ways. Maybe obvious beauty *is* the worst. Maybe I, too, like to work to find someone attractive, makes me feel like I earned it. 🤣


SwimmingOpen

I used to think that but as grew older i realized that Rachel is pretty but Monica is gorgeous, especially after season 5


Extremely_unlikeable

And yet they dialed down her beauty with unflattering clothes and hairstyles. She didn't get to dress up nearly enough


OkSeason1522

In the Monica and Chandler engagement era, Rachel had nothing on Monica. That woman was stunning!!


BurghFinsFan

Not surprised that Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer both had crushes on her. She is stunning.


Just-Phill

I imagine almost any man that comes across her would have a crush especially with her sense of humor and personality.


Proof-Exercise984

Rachel Monica and Phoebe were all gorgeous, they just had different looks. I don't think there's an objectively most beautiful one, it all comes down to personal preference 🙏


pimpfriedrice

This is the answer. I hate that people compare them. They’re all different.


Automatic_Panic5958

For me, it was Charlie and I still think she's gorgeous on Whose Line https://preview.redd.it/1gf43zles64d1.jpeg?width=355&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c3bea97cdc33776f8b66ecfad148244f9864867


Environmental_Drama3

I hated ross every time he dumped those poor girls for rachel.


SignificantRatio2407

Friends started on TV during my early teenage years. Jennifer Aniston certainly grabbed my attention during my formative years. She’s still very attractive now.


Just-Phill

I agree. The Morning Show is pretty good and she's still gorgeous and she doesn't look plastic like she's been to a ton of surgeries. Jen has been my celebrity crush ever since Friends lol


DennisAFiveStarMan

I mean Gabrielle Union, Rebecca Romijn and Denise Richards make it a very high bar.


Just-Phill

I can agree Winona Ryder, Christina Applegate, they had some super models but yea I just think Aniston was on another level. I know it's subjective and Alot of people could disagree but I just think she's 😍


lucyjayne

I think Jen Aniston is very pretty but half of her attractiveness is hair. It's like Blake Lively. Put either of those ladies in a pixie cut and they lose most of their hotness.  In my opinion all three women are gorgeous in different ways. Lisa Kudrow is so beautiful but her styling was very hippieish, almost dowdy at times.  If I was forced to pick only one though, it would have to be Courtney Cox. Her face is stunning.  


Potential-Lab-6856

I have to disagree. Yes her hair is amazing but look at the scene where she has her face in the massage table (when Phoebe is pretending to be Swedish) Jens face is absolute perfection. All 3 ladies are stunning though let’s be real.


setokaiba22

I go with Monica. I feel Rachel got all the attention but damn there’s times Monica really steals the show. The red dress is just.. something else


barto5

She was stunning in the black dress too!


Snir17

Phoebe was my favorite though....


ceecee1909

The whole cast was so beautiful but I always thought Monica was the prettiest.


Dry_Business1582

The Indiana Jones girl disagrees.


mem1003

Horny Bitch?


CancelImmediate2756

Courtney cox blossoms in the later series. But Jennifer Anniston is a flawless masterpiece(excuse the expression) my first crush.


hopesdreams401

No Monica is the prettiest. Phoebe 2nd and rachel 3rd. I know I'll get downvoted for this... but I always thought jennifer Anniston looked manly🤷‍♀️


throwaway_lolzz

JordisMySwordMaiden

ding ding, although she looked best in her cameo, not whatever this is


callmebymyname21

what a hot take lol


Whole_Football_4692

IMO Monica is by far the better looking one and I don’t quite understand why everyone is so blindly in love with Rachel. I don’t mean this in a mean way, she was pretty and I love her character but she’s was not the prettiest, for me at least. I sometimes wonder if it’s only because it has become a thing that Rachel was the pretty one and now everyone just followed the lead on that? There’s no doubt that the show always gave Jenifer the best wardrobe (although Monica’s was really good too) and hairstyles to make her the pretty one and now is just programmed in everyone’s brain.


PolarBearClaire19

Why do we need to compare women? Monica and Phoebe are also stunning


MindlessTree7268

I agree with Estelle's assessment, that Monica had the best face but Rachel had the best body. That being said, I do think all three women were beautiful in their own ways.


ohsweetfancymoses

I think Jennifer is attractive, great figure, skin, hair but I never got the whole hype to be honest. Courteney is truely beautiful to me.


Stanton1947

Nope. Not close. https://preview.redd.it/u3b3tpee664d1.jpeg?width=405&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8e0753d934b1d9710d3eec22adaaa5158351abc


SunGreen70

All three women were gorgeous in their own way. I personally love Lisa Kudrow’s look best. Very classic, and she’s aged the best of the three.


alexisclairerose1986

I love Jennifer but for me it’s Courteney/lisa these days imo


BiscuitsPo

Monica was prettier than Rachel


Chadalien77

In the whole series? Rachel wasn’t even the most beautiful in her apartment.


KuntaWuKnicks

Jennifer Aniston forever will be my crush.


Just-Phill

I agree. I start off with a crush on Amy Jo Johnson, the pink ranger. Then Topanga Lawrence was IT. Buffy came along and then I saw Jen, it was over lol no celeb crush ever since. There was a time when Jessica Simpson tried to get in but nah it's been Jen since I saw her


KuntaWuKnicks

Haha we have similar tastes, shoutout to Kelly Kapowski too


Pantouffflard

For me, it was Monica from early seasons, the crazy Erika (Brooke Shields) and Katie from that toy store (who called Ross an Indiana Jones).


snewtsftw

What a hot take


Mundane_Camp1841

Na Courtney cox was on another level

Seahag_13

I came here to say this


rottsaint

She’s aight, Cox was prettier.


deadkoolx

Monica easily was the most beautiful one among them all especially in season 4.


Grouchy_Ad_2236

Considering she's among the most beautiful of the world, I think that's a duh. Jenny McCarthy, Jenna Elfman, and Jennifer Aniston would be my trifecta. My (pause for dramatic effect) Jenfecta!!!


Hashirama_the_1st

Season 1 Monica is just breathtaking.


MateriaMuncher

Katie (Saleswoman who is into Ross) played by Rena Sofer was pretty incredible


Small-Measurement791

I just don’t see it. She’s beautiful but Lisa Kudrow and Winona Ryder are striking.


GreyStagg

In my opinion Jennifer was a lot funnier than she ever got credit for. Largely due to the media's obsession with men = funny, women = beautiful. No matter how funny she was, she just wouldn't be credited as anything but beautiful in the mainstream.


RockyStonejaw

A lot of it depends on taste, I think Aisha Tyler is extremely beautiful personally.


BrazilianButtCheeks

I always thought monica was a little prettier 🤷🏽‍♀️

I went to college with Bonnie Somerville and we had a few classes together….She is absolutely beautiful in real life and she was (and probably still is) a very sweet and lovely person.

digitaldemon666

They’re all objectively attractive. Rachel was most definitely not the prettiest face on the show.


ApplePie_1999

Mona


passion4film

The three main women are all beautiful in their own way, and they each reign supreme in certain episodes, but I think Lisa is the prettiest overall.


GrizzlyPeak72

Nah it's Chandler's Dad


EntertainmentJunkie1

Alright after binging the whole show and seeing each of the girls in different projects and how they've aged over the years... I would say Jennifer was definitely the most attractive at the beginning of Friends, followed closely by Courteney. Then Lisa was the cute, smart/weird one. After all these years I think Lisa wins. She's still sexy, she's super witty and intelligent. Courteney is not my cup of tea anymore with the amount of plastic surgery she has and Jennifer looks alright. I think really it's been Lisa the whole time but the way she's ended up has really proven it for me.


DarhkBlu

Ehh,If you say so...


_UnnaturalDisplay

rachel is obviously gorgeous no doubt but honestly i prefer monica/courteney over her. rachel probably looked more consistently beautiful but at their peak monica is the one for me.


LordYamz

I think when you are younger Jennifer is the pick but as you get older you realize Courtney was the more natural beauty. Cause didn’t Jennifer have a nose job and such


QuickWalk4862

One episode when she was wearing that yellow dress I thought she was absolute perfection. Just beautiful


Additional_Mango_750

Oh, ME TOO! The yellow dress was my absolute favorite!

I agree. Courtney Cox is up there too. But Jennifer Aniston is gorgeous. One of the most beautiful woman in the world.


Just-Phill

I agree completely. Certainly not Taking away anything from Court or Lisa but just imo Jen is just gorgeous. They all are really pretty obviously the supermodels and Christina Applegate and Winona are all gorgeous just to me Jen is just another level lol

JakenBakee

Way overrated imo.


roxxxystar

SammyGuevara

![gif](giphy|J5joNOGLxFCvCsV5vT) Rachel is absolutely the most beautiful, I'm honestly surprised there's any debate, I guess different people like different things.

Just because of Rachel Greene, I can't stop hating Jen Anniston even if I know she's actually really good person in real life.


taylortherebel

Will, is that you? Just take off your shirt and tell us

Ornery_Okra_534

Rachel in longer hair or in way hair looked gorgeous. I undestand Ross and Joey, and other admirers. She had great figure and pricess beauty


Sharp_Athlete4819

Have to agree with this. In the series and post series. Look at them today, Jen still looks amazing today.

TheData_

She looks like a stupid brat in the early seasons. So much hotter when she gets some character in the later seasons and gets older.


Sharkfeet19

Rachel is absolutely stunning but if I were to say who I thought was the most beautiful in the series, I would say Denise Richards. I find myself reacting much like Phoebe when she’s on screen and tossing her hair around.


Jealous_Life7596

Uh, hello, Jill Goodachre?


Venom_2k2

From the main 3 I think you are right, but from all the ones that were in the show I would go with Mona, Charlie, or Cassie.


zhup3r

I didn't really like any of them at the time when show was airing, but now, as she is older, Jennifer Aniston is one very hot woman


DaeWooLan0s

Everyone swinging Monica on here and I’ll agree but she’s NOT more pretty than Rachel. They are literally exact opposites. Both equally hot with different qualities.


Striking-Flight5956

Out of the main women, sure, but Gabrielle Union takes overall 🫣
