9. Charlene, Princess of Monaco A professional swimmer, Charlene Wittstock represented her native South Africa at the 2000 Olympics before retiring from competitive swimming in 2007.
Now of course her fame lies in being the consort to Prince Albert Rainer of Monaco.
Her stunning blonde looks makes her a perfect successor to her late mother in law, the Hollywood screen legend Grace Kelly.
Indeed with her pale blonde looks and polished demeanour, she is very much in the style and class of the screen siren.
