Same can be said for Diamonds that went #1 in 25 countries and Rihanna being named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire in 2011 and the Woman of the Year for 2012 by GQ (American version). But anyway, Rihanna fits the standard, especially these days.

I think Rih is far more beautiful than Britney (at any age) but by mainstream standards, Britney fits better. And that isn't shade to either one--it just is what it is. A nonthreatening super cute girl next door type white girl will always fit the mainstream (typically extremely Eurocentric) standards more than a exotic and striking modelesque black girl with very ethnic features.

There's a reason Tyra and her green eyes took the modeling industry by storm, there's a reason why Beyoncé is still able to top lists 16 years into her career based on her looks, and there's a reason why Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are huge worlds over.
|
Beyonce's looks are not exotic what-so-ever, she's actually the standard for classic beauty unless she's presented with certain styling.
And I have no idea why you believe exotic looking women like Shakira and J.Lo are considered hotter than classic examples like Jennifer Lawrence or Kate Upton O.o.

BRITNEY JEAN SPEARS and its no competition. Her smile, body etc is iconic as her music. She's the standard as the pop stars before her weren't as beautiful than her (no pun taken). She made expressing your sexuality ok amongst pop stars. No other pop star was able to do it as flawless and easy as Britney. Every man on planet fantasized about her during her peak, the same can't be said about rihanna.

Right now? Ironically, Rihanna

Britney does not have blue eyes  Britney fans have always been bigoted, strange you've only just not figured this out.

which one fits the beauty standard more? the light skinned woman with green eyes and a slim nose or the darker skinned woman with dark eyes and a wider nose + bigger lips?

 How about we be fair and put Stacey Dash against an dark skinned women with a wider nose who is a SEX SYMBOL like her, not freaking Viola Davis

This. Ethnic women are revered for their enticing qualities that make them more SEXUALLY attractive to other people whilst many white women are revered for facial beauty and not seen so commonly as sexual objects. I mean, go to Britney's videos and you get comments like "Beautiful" or "Pretty". Go to one of Rihanna's videos or her Instagram and you get "I want you inside me." (especially with how provocative she is on them  ).
|
There are just as many sexually crude comments about white women as there are about minorities, what are you talking about

Um, its the truth. Men rarely look at Rihanna sexually, her team only insists on her taking her cloths off to have some sex appeal. Really, no pop star from this generation has sex appeal. Britney's sexiness changed pop and made other women step their look game up. I mean no one was doing overly sexual performances like Britney; other than Janet and even then she seemed contrived.

Blond is always the standard, so Britney to your question. I think Rihanna is more beautiful, though.

The only thing she changed was delivering sexy performances at a younger age.
Also, sexy and sexual aren't exactly the same thing.

Britney is the embodiment of the typical Barbie-type, white, bottle-blonde Girl-Next-Door. While this type is considered as "the only true depiction of beauty" (and let's be real, it's considered beautiful only because there are very few people in the world who have natural platinum hair, most of them living in Sweden), it also sets a trap for young girls who recreate the look and make it less unique. Britney was considered as the beauty canon, but right now she's generic looking mostly because of the "trap" of those canons. I think that right now the canon screams "exotic" and that's what Rihanna is (especially with her mixed white and black features).
