Which character was supposedly the most attractive? I keep thinking it's Duan Yu's father for all his mistresses out there.

The general consensus is that it was Princess Fragrance from BOOK & SWORD: GRATITUDE & REVENGE, whose beauty actually halted an army in its tracks.
I think that kind of hyperbole is codswallop myself, but it's canon.
YG and XLN (here we go again, BRACE! BRACE! BRACE!)
I am a pessimist, but I think people like me!
Mainland China is making a new adaptation now. Dunno who their going to cast as Princess Fragrance.
The strange thing is, the actresses who were chosen to potray this beauty who halted an army were not not really that gorgeous. They paled in comparison to the actresses who potrayed Xiao Long Nv.

The best looking guy has to be DFBB's boyfriend, Yang Lianting. That guy is able to magnetize a twisted man!
Im not sure why but Fan BingBing just does not strike me as that pretty... She has her moments, but not much to sustain interest (unlike ppl like Alyssa Chia).
They are casting Yang Mi as the new Princess Fragrance. . .great choice, I say!
Best Jin Yong looking character, both male and female?
FEMALE: Princess Fragrance
MALE: Would probably be between the father and son duo of the Yangs (Yang Kang and Yang Guo)

Xiao Long Nu was described as pale and thin, so I imagine she would be beautiful in a way reminiscent of modern super models, i.e., very thin.
In Jin Yong literature, are there female characters that would extoll the standard of beauty found in the Tang dynasty? I.e. fat is better?
Lin Xian Er's curvaceous figure would have caught the eyes of Li Shimin
Good point! I was thinking about examples of the second male standard of beauty, the rugged handsomeness type, the first being the bishonen type (pretty boys like Zhang Wujior Yang Kang). If you look like your mother... then yeah you are a pretty boy.The best looking guy has to be DFBB's boyfriend, Yang Lianting. That guy is able to magnetize a twisted man!
I was thinking of some Three Kingdoms generals being described in a positive light in the official records, such as Guan Yu and Taishi Ci, but Yan Liangting exemplifies the rugged handsomeness look in JY literature.
More like Helen of Troy and Chen Yuan Yuan.
One launched a thousand ships, the other opened the gates to a thousand mile wall.
Read the latest chapters of Coiling Dragon at Wuxia World!
Females that are up there on the list:
Xiao Long Nu
Wang Yuyan
Chen Yuanyuan
A Ke
Princess Fragrance
As for guys, I'd say Yang Guo, Yang Kang, Duan Yu, and some others that I can't remember.
It should be confirmed in the new B&S: G&R 2008 thread. . .in the MAINLAND SERIES FORUM. . .
