> [@Enola\_Gay](#): > > I have always thought that Maria Shriver was very beautiful. The high cheekbones, the green eyes, the gorgeous hair…not just pretty, but beautiful…almost model-like. Well, yeah, in the sense that many models are underweight, skeletal, anorexic looking, sure, she looks like a model. Seriously, she’s too thin. Ick. Especially in the neck. ---

No, she’s horrifying. Joe ---

She’s not especially pretty in pictures, but on film (I have never seen her IRL) she is much prettier. I also think she has a warm personality, which helps. ---

She used to be quite striking, but there really is such a thing as too thin. ---

Very prominent, borderline masculine jaw line, very deep set eyes, and general low body fat give her facial features a distinct visible [human skull / skeletal look](http://images.zap2it.com/images/celeb-70374/maria-shriver-2.jpg) that’s a bit off putting even if the rest of the package is perfect. ---

Another vote for: No. Not attractive. Kinda creepy. ---

Her chin is too pointy. Give her another decade or two and she will be able to play the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz without makeup. ---

I’m really surprised anyone considers her too thin. While on the slim side for an older women, in the world of LA she’s downright voluptuous. She does have sunken cheeks and a bony, harsh look to her face, but her body looks great. I guess everyone looks at her face and assume she’s bone thin ([far](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/10/04/article-0-0B781798000005DC-451_224x542.jpg)[from](http://www.yourcelebritystuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Maria-Shriver-Disses-Arnold-on-Oprah-Appearance.jpg) [it](http://www4.pictures.fp.zimbio.com/Maria+Shriver+Out+Getting+Cool+Beverage+Pacific+eTUkDeIQ_8Cl.jpg)) - in reality she’s just a normal-sized woman who lost all the attractive fat from her face with age, making her look manly. I don’t think her face is pretty. ---

I was always surprised that everyone made her out to be so beautiful. When she was younger, she looked like a generic newswoman–attractive for real life, but not for TV. Now she’s downright ugly for TV and only moderate otherwise. ---

She’s always been WAY too skinny and she certainly hasn’t become less so. Not attractive at all to me. ---

Once had a pretty face in some pictures, otherwise not attractive at all. She certainly hasn’t aged well. If she approached me in a bar I would buy her a sandwich. ---

And if you think she’s unattractive now . . . wait another 20 years. That woman is not aging well, and it’s getting worse every year. ---

In some of ' **Mika** ’s pictures, yes, she is pretty. However, lately the pictures I’ve seen of her are not flattering in any way. As someone else posted in another thread around here, “pointy.” I totally agree with the “severe” comments. I don’t know her, but every thing I’ve ever seen of her shows someone who’s tightly wound, cold, distant, and well, severe. She may be a wonderfully warm human being, but that certainly doesn’t come through in her photos. Granted, she’s under a lot of stress, especially lately. ---

I guess I’m in the minority, I actually think she looks better now than she did when she was younger. Sure I’ve seen some hideous still pictures of her, but anyone can look bad in a bad photo. And I agree with Rhubararin that only her face is too thin, her body is certainly not thin…at least by LA standards. As for the mean look on her face…I’d be walking around with a viscous scowl too if my husband was banging the maid 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-think-maria-shriver-is-attractive/582947.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-think-maria-shriver-is-attractive/582947.md?page=4)
