Which model was named one of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People magazine in 1991?

Christy Turlington was named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” in 1991.

The annual list reflected the period’s fascination with internationally famous actors, musicians, athletes, and models. Turlington’s inclusion recognized her position as one of fashion’s leading faces during the supermodel era.

Turlington had begun modeling as a teenager and became strongly associated with Calvin Klein and Maybelline. Her work was known for a polished, elegant style, and she frequently appeared alongside Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford in major campaigns and editorials.

The list was a popular-media distinction rather than a professional modeling award. Turlington’s later career also expanded into public health advocacy and documentary filmmaking, but her 1991 recognition belongs to the height of her fashion prominence.
