Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST

With 2010 upon us, UK-based health and beauty retail giant Superdrug held a poll to find out which female celeb people thought was the 'beauty icon of the decade'. Here are the results!

1. Angelina Jolie

The Hollywood siren and Brad Pitt's partner nabbed the top spot, with her chocolate hair, chiselled features and lithe bod. So Angie is officially Beauty Icon Of The Decade -- and you'll be surprised to see who came a close second!

2. Jennifer Aniston

Yup, the pretty Aniston lost out narrowly to Jolie yet again. But hey, at 40, we still think she's drop-dead gorgeous.

3. Kylie Minogue

The petite Australian songstress came in at Number Three -- and considering she's on the other side of 40 too, that's certainly impressive.

4. Catherine Zeta Jones

It's beginning to look like these ladies only look more lovely as they age! Michael Douglas' vivacious wife was voted to fourth position in the poll.

5. Cheryl Cole

This hot Girls Aloud singer and X-Factor reality talent show judge is not only a beauty icon, she was also voted UK's Best-dressed Woman of the Year 2009 and Style Icon of the Decade.

6. Scarlett Johansson

Voluptuous Scarlett has been under the radar for awhile, but when it comes to all things glam and beautiful, she's right there at the top!

7. Keira Knightley

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST
She's only 24, but Keira has been a superstar since she was a teenager and her waifish looks also saw her take top spot in Superdrug's Beauty Icon of the Year poll for 2008.

8. Beyonce Knowles

Bootylicious in every sense of the word (she even sang a song about it!), popstar Beyonce's curves and sultry sexiness saw her to the Number Eight spot.

9. Liv Tyler

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST
With her pouty lips and flawless complexion, actress Liv Tyler is a living doll -- not to mention she's one yummy mummy! Who wouldn't want to look like that?

10. Halle Berry

And rounding off the top 10 is another sexy mamma. Berry is now 43, but she certainly doesn't look it. And if you recall her smokin' orange bikini from Die Another Day, you'll agree that one look was iconic in itself!

11. Kate Winslet

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST
According to another recent poll, this talented Brit actress also has the celebrity body most women would love to have. Kate has always promoted a healthy body image and is a role model to young girls everywhere, so two thumbs up!

12. Myleene Klass

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST
Actress, singer, model -- and now one of the beauty icons of the decade. Myleene has her finger in many pies and was voted to 12th position.

13. Kelly Brook

Another bikini babe that made it to the list is model and actress Kelly Brook. Aside from her ravishing appearance, Brook is an accomplished dancer and participated in celebrity dancing competition Strictly Come Dancing in both 2007 and 2008.

14. Nigella Lawson

Chic celebrity chef Nigella also made it to the top 20 -- probably through healthy eating! She is also a successful food writer and has appeared on several television cookery shows, in addition to hosting her own series.

15. Kate Beckinsale

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST
Although Esquire Magazine deemed her Sexiest Woman Alive in 2009, Beckinsale didn't rank too high when it came to the Beauty Icon of the Decade. Still, she made it to 15 in this survey and it's easy to see why.

16. Megan Fox

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST

Angelina's doppelganger didn't quite come within 10 ranks of her, but Megan is certainly one of the most gorgeous young Hollywood stars of today, which is why she grabbed 16th position.

17. Eva Longoria

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST
She may play a desperate housewife on screen, but off it, Latino lovely Eva has men swooning over her dusky appeal. The petite actress proves that good things come in small packages!

18. Joanna Lumley

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST
It was heartening to note that timeless beauty played a part in this poll. British actress Lumley may be 63, but she has aged so gracefully, she still ranked at 18 -- beating out two younger famous faces!

19. Holly Willoughby

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST
Television presenter Holly followed Lumley closely at Number 19 -- the buxom blonde is certainly a good looker!

20. Charlize Theron

Last updated on: January 5, 2010 19:57 IST

And finally, rounding off the list is South African siren Charlize, who's drop-dead gorgeous and an Academy Award winner to boot. No arguments on either count!
