Unrelated secondary comment, now that the scope of the thread has inevitably expanded beyond skaters for the U.S.:
Has Caits Yankowskas been mentioned yet?​

Come to think of it, on the subject of US pair skaters...

Jill Trenary was gorgeous. And I thought AP McDonough was stunning, it's just you never noticed her face when she was in those Julie Creations.

I don't think there has been this perfect quintessential American figure skater as Gracie
an endorsement's dream,

blonde, wholesome, good family background and a mixture of classical Grace Kelly and Hollywood look

Depending on the angle I liked Nicole Bobeck. But again: depending on angle...
Not depending on an angle: Dorothy Hamill in the 70s. But again: in the 70s....
Not depending on anything: Alissa Czisny.

Please do not even go there... Gracie's pretty but she can't even hold a flicker of a candle to somebody as timeless as Grace Kelly. I would do a side by side picture comparison but such a juxtaposition is simply hugely unfair to Gracie and insulting to Grace.

I'm going to say something really, really crazy. Back when they were competing together, I actually think Tonya Harding--if we eliminate her awful costumes--was every bit as pretty as Nancy Kerrigan.

Neither of them would make my "top female skater beauties" list. But I thought it was worth pointing out, that perhaps personality/story/packaging/skating style really helps when it comes to how people perceive your beauty.

I agree! I always though Tonya had such a lovely smile. One of my favorite pictures to this day is the one of her smiling so huge after she landed her first triple axel.
