Israeli model Yael Shelbia was awarded the number one spot on the TC Candler's 31st annual Independent Critics List of 2020's most beautiful faces. Israeli Gal Gadot was also featured in the top quartile of the list.

The 19-year-old Israeli model has appeared on the list three times previously, but this is her first time being awarded the top spot.

Gadot was No. 21 on the list. It is her 7th appearance on the list. She placed 2nd in 2015, but has never secured the top spot.

The list of 100 most beautiful faces was picked from 125,000 female celebrities and over a million public nominations.

The TC Candler list, which claims to have more annual views than People Magazine's 50 most beautiful and Maxim's hot 100 combined, features models, actresses, musicians and other personalities. This year the list also featured three "amateur entries."
