The classic beauty Marilyn Monroe had just been stomped by supermodel Cara Delevingne. In a recent survey held among 1000 Brits who aged from 18 to 65, it has been revealed that Delevingne was their number one pick for the most iconic beauty of the century.

The famous NKDb, a reputable cosmetic brand, came up with a survey that had 66 percent of the sample agreeing that make-up does magic to normal celebrities and folks for them to stand out. On the other hand, the rest of the 44 percent stand by their belief that make-up is designed to only enhance natural beauty.

The 24-year-old catwalk model snatched the top one spot from the most famous celebrities then and now. Though a lot of supporters agree that the English model and actress had the most amazing brows, Paula Warrender of Luton, Beds seemed to think otherwise.

"I don't see how Cara can beat Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn - it's totally crazy, they were both complete and utter style icons, whereas Cara just has eyebrows like Liam Gallagher," Warrender said.

With Monroe getting the second spot, Hepburn made it as fourth on the list. TV personality Kim Kardashian nabbed the third spot while other well-known female celebrities also made it to the list, namely Twiggy, Elizabeth Taylor, Kylie Jenner, Dita Von Teese, Gwen Stefani and Adele.

NKDb co-founder Marco Robinson talked about the results of the survey, saying: "It's great to see a mixture of current celebrities and icons from decades gone by in the top 10, proving that women find make-up inspiration from numerous avenues."

Meanwhile, Delevingne is bound to star in a French comic series adaptation entitled "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets." She will be working alongside Dane DeHaan of the "Amazing Spiderman." The actress and model has made it to the headlines once again because of her new snake tattoo. Rumors say that it is allegedly for her former flame, St. Vincent, who is currently dating Kristen Stewart.
