What do Norwegian women look like? It is generally accepted that they are cold in the expression of feelings and not very attractive ladies with masculine features, which against the background of stately blond Norwegians with wide shoulders and blue eyes do not look pretty. But the ideals of beauty are different everywhere, and Nina Leset, a skier who shone at the Olympics in Sochi in 2014, and Mette-Marit, the wife of the Norwegian crown prince and mother of three, the heiress to the throne, and model Sarah Skolness, easily fall under world beauty standards.
Norwegian appearance
Women of the Nordic minor race live not only in Norway, but also in other countries of Scandinavia, partly Great Britain and in the north of Russia. Women are usually tall, but not at the expense of long legs, but because centimeters are distributed proportionally over the body and are thin, eyes are deep set, the back of the nose is narrow, the eyebrows are almost even, and the lips are thin and not very pronounced. The Norwegian appearance of a woman suggests light and thin skin, blood vessels and veins are visible on her. The eyes are often light blue or light gray, the hair is quite thick, light, can be either golden wheat or light brown.
What kind of Norwegian women are they?
Norwegian women actually have a natural and healthy beauty. Most of them boast smooth skin and a soft blush, white teeth and natural blond hair. For young people from Latin America, for whom fair skin and hair is a luxury, Norway is a Barbie doll shop. Indeed, young Norwegian women seemed to have come off the pages of glossy magazines. They are attractive and pretty.
What kind of Norwegian women are they? There are chubby and thin girls in the northern country, but in general they cannot be called unattractive. Older ladies also do not forget about naturalness, although recently Botox injections and plastic surgery are gaining popularity in the country. In addition, a whole generation of children from mixed marriages has already grown up in Norway. Such people are of rare beauty for every taste. So, Norwegian women in beauty do not lose to foreigners at all.
Many foreigners say that Norwegians do not monitor their appearance, but this statement is only partially true. The mentality of the Norwegian ladies is such that the mothers of the families really push the care of their appearance to the background, giving time to her husband and children. Norwegians will not cut back on sleep time, entertainment and hobbies for personal care. Therefore, split ends, rough heels and lack of manicure are not enough reason to put your favorite book aside after a working day.
At the same time, young Norwegians can devote a considerable amount of time to their appearance. Cosmetic procedures are sold out quickly, so that young girls and some older women still look after themselves.
In a country of feminism, gender roles are erased. Women work in mechanical engineering and the industrial industry, because it is easier to get work there and pay more. At the same time, Norwegians do not expect help from male colleagues, but rely only on their own strengths. Often, in their free time, Norwegian women choose sportswear and overalls simply because it is convenient.
Women in Norway and the Army
Photos of Norwegian women in military uniform evoke surprised looks of men of other nationalities. When women are referred to compulsory military service, they immediately recall Israel, not Norway, which is in a friendly environment and can always enjoy the support of NATO. But this is not a matter of an external threat, but of the attitude of society towards equality. So in Norway there is successfully a conscript army for both men and women.
Norwegian women view military service as a natural part of society. After graduation, girls can escape from parental care and become more independent, get their personal money. And even more importantly, in the army you can take professional courses that will help determine the profession. And an entry in the resume about military service will make the applicant more attractive to potential employers.
The most attractive Norwegians
It is worth mentioning some of the most beautiful Norwegian women. Many Norwegians known around the world are athletes, but models, politicians, public figures, actresses and singers can also be distinguished. Norwegian top models participate in world shows, and actresses play in Hollywood films, and the most famous (especially after the Sochi Olympics in 2014), of course, remain athletes who can boast of a pretty appearance and outstanding achievements.
Jenia Skavlan - favorite of the Norwegian public
Genia, a writer, model and actress, a popular TV presenter, is not the last in the list of the most beautiful Norwegian women (some of them are photos in the article below).

Since then, Jenny Scavlan has been participating in television shows, acting in films and performing in various television projects, being the favorite of the public.
Sonya Heny
Little Norwegian Sonya Heny at the first Olympic Games in Chamonix, France, in eighth place took eighth place. But in the following competitions (in St. Moritz, Lake Placid, Garmisch-Partenkirchen) Sonya became the champion in women's single skating. Until now, this is a unique achievement that no one has been able to surpass.
By the number of gold medals, only Irina Rodina can compare with Sonya, however, the latter performed in pair skating. A beautiful Norwegian woman (photo is in the article) in the 20-30s of the last century won ten times at world championships and six times at European competitions. The first victory in her life (at the Norwegian championship) she won at ten years old.
Sonia Heny was the first to use choreographic techniques in figure skating and a short skirt as an element of a costume for performances.
She left the big sport at the zenith of fame and began pursuing a career in Hollywood, participating in many ice shows. In the mid-thirties, Sonya was one of the richest women of her time. She starred in Hollywood films, concluded expensive advertising contracts, changed her lovers one by one.
Sonya Heny was the idol of Hitler and his entourage. In 1936, this beautiful Norwegian woman ended her speech in a German town with a Nazi salutation, but mixed up her arms. Then Henie accepted an invitation to dinner in a narrow circle of close associates of the Führer. The Norwegian press reacted to this fact very disapprovingly. Heni herself helped during the occupation of Norway. The Nazis did not touch her or the athlete’s property.

Mette-Marit’s husband was born in 1973, received a brilliant upbringing and underwent military training (as befits the heir to the throne), and the girl herself left her parents' house early and led a rather stormy life.

In 200, the engagement was officially announced, but this was preceded by a serious confrontation between the prince and his family. But internal contradictions - this was only the beginning. There was great hype in the media, so it was decided to convene a press conference at which Mette-Marit confessed to the turbulent past, answered some slippery questions and promised to be a good wife to Haakon.
The wedding of the heir to the throne took place in August 2001. Mette Marit had a surprisingly beautiful dress from Uwe Harder Finset, and her head was decorated with a tiara, which was presented to the wedding by Harald and Sonya, the prince's parents.
