Ever since this 19-year-old Israeli beauty appeared on the cover of UAE magazine, everyone talked about her. Yes, you guessed it right! 

We are talking about the blue-eyed girl who has made it to the top position on the list of the world’s most beautiful women. Since everyone is so curious to know more about her, we collected information on her life. So, let’s have some insight into this amazing girl’s life.

A Glimpse Of The Personal Life

The model’s complete name is Yael Shelbia Cohen. She was born in Nahariya, Israel on 31st August 2001. When she was just 16 years old, she posted some of her selfies on Instagram, because of which she got a photoshoot offer from Marina Moskowitz, who is a professional photographer.

However, she faced criticism for her modeling career from her religious school. Moreover, because of her religious teachings, she had to let go of various modeling projects as her religion doesn’t allow her to wear revealing clothes. This was proving to be quite a hindrance to her career. However, in the end, with the support of her parents, she decided to focus on her career.

Currently, she is dating Brandon Korff, grandson of billionaire Sumner Murray Redstone.

World’s Most Beautiful Face – Yael Shelbia

Not many people know that she was listed as the third most beautiful face in the world in 2018 by TC Candler. Later, in 2019 she was listed as the second most beautiful face globally, and then finally, in December 2020, she was named the most beautiful face in the world.

Thus, she proved to everyone that hard work and persistence is always the key to success. To put things into perspective, the stunning model has surpassed Gal Gadot as a beautiful face.

The Rise To Fame As Model (Career)

Her career began with a simple photoshoot when she was 16 years old, and in three years of her career, she has done some remarkable work.

Moreover, in the same year, she acted in Palmach’s television series, a drama set in 1946. It seems like she is on a steady pace as a model and actress moving ahead with the fashion world.

Despite being the most beautiful face of 2020, she somehow managed to maintain a low profile. Perhaps she might have to kick it up a notch if she truly wants to stand out from other models.
