We all know that true beauty is the light in the heart, but today appearance is much more relevant. The very concept of beauty in the 21st century has been devalued due to the abundance of beauty salons, the availability of various plastic procedures and Photoshop. You don’t have to be born a beauty, you can become one.
However, some peoples still value genuine natural beauty. It's about including about gypsies. The most beautiful gypsy will compare favorably with modern beauties from the catwalks, at least with her sincerity, natural grace, bright, clear eyes and tenderness.
Gypsies are a free people
There are several hypotheses about where the free gypsy people came from. In each country they are called differently: the British call them people from the Egyptian civilization, the French call them Bohemians, the Finns and Estonians call them “blacks.” There are many representatives of this nation living all over the world. Their vibrant, diverse, rich culture is associated with this.
The most important thing for Roma is continuity and commitment to their traditions, which are fully expressed in belonging to their people. In case of terrible crimes, the gypsy is expelled from the clan, and this is truly the most cruel punishment for each of them. And, conversely, if a gypsy calls another person who does not belong to his people a gypsy, then this is considered the highest compliment.
Gypsies love children very much, considering them a reward and highest value. It is their tradition to pick up street children and adopt children in need of a home. This is where the myths come from that they steal children. For gypsies there is a cult of family and a cult of mother. They have a lot of respect family values, choosing a life partner once and for all, thereby standing out favorably in the “civilized” world.
The most beautiful gypsy - what should she be like?
The concept of beauty for gypsies is very different from modern Western European ideals. Since the area below the waist among gypsies is considered to be “bad” (dirty, unclean), all this should be covered down to the toes. For this reason, women wear long skirts to the floor, as a rule, lush and bright (such is the gypsy soul). Their fashion is simple: whatever they found cheaper, they made an outfit out of it. Nevertheless, gypsies have always attracted attention with their beauty. Just remember the famous Esmeralda: thin, fragile, tender, with huge black eyes and lush hair, she attracted the gaze of all the inhabitants of the “court of miracles”.
The criteria for gypsy beauty can be gleaned not only from fiction contemporaries, but also from songs, legends, ballads, fairy tales. Thus, the most beautiful gypsy will have a characteristic face: it is beautiful, cheerful, gentle, bright with huge clear “diamond” eyes. Hair should be long and lush, thick. The body is flexible, slender, beautifully writhing in dance.
Modern world beauty standards
Today's beauty is distinguished by the fact that it is not given from birth, but is acquired in the world of “beauty blogging” and It doesn’t matter at all what a girl’s natural advantages are, what matters is what she managed to achieve with the help of makeup, beauty salons, Photoshop, and sometimes surgical improvements. Today, grooming and a sense of ideal taste are much more important than beautiful eyes and slender legs. And yet, some criteria of beauty are still alive.
A healthy, delicate complexion with moderate blush and light is in fashion. Thick, lush natural eyebrows have become the main beauty cult of our century. You can even grow your eyebrows: the procedure is not cheap and, frankly speaking, not pleasant. Feminine figures have returned to fashion, anorexia is no longer beautiful (and was it ever?).
How to choose the most beautiful gypsy?
The free people themselves would have been offended and bewildered by such a question, but since modern world constantly strives for ratings and charts, then it is worth taking a closer look at this issue. Of course, there are thousands of beautiful gypsies in the world, young and older. But it is possible to appreciate beauty in in this case only based on famous representatives of the free people. Choosing a photo of the most beautiful gypsy is not an easy task.
There's a million on the Internet beautiful photos gypsy girl There are also many representatives of free people in the world of cinema and television. Let's take a closer look at some of them.
Rita Hayworth
Oddly enough, one of the most beautiful gypsies in the world can be called. The famous actress, model and dancer has gypsy roots, since Rita’s father is a flamenco dancer from Seville, Spain. The pristine beauty and gypsy grace inherited from her father turned Rita not only into an outstanding dancer, but also subsequently into a Hollywood diva and actress. The whole world fell in love with the star for her luxurious curls, huge black eyes and gentle
Rita played in more than 60 films, most of them being the main roles of the star. She was never nominated for an Oscar, but became a real people's favorite and a true symbol of the cinema of her time. The image of Rita is often mentioned in films and literature.
True beauty comes from the heart, and Rita Hayworth is proof of this. She is not only the most beautiful gypsy in the world, but also a bright decoration in the history of cinema.
Soledad Miranda
Spanish women are known all over the world for their beauty, brightness and sexuality. Tender Soledad Rendon Bueno is the most beautiful gypsy in Spain. The name translates as "loneliness". It is with Portuguese and Gypsy roots. National blood started playing with the young beauty early, and the girl began her career as a flamenco dancer at the age of eight. Then the girl tried herself in music and cinema, where she was also very successful.
However, the violent spirit of the free people did its job: Soledad married a racer. A few years later, the actress died tragically in a car accident. She was 27 years old. Such a tragic death had an impact not only on the girl’s family, but also on Spanish cinema of that time: everyone mourned the star.
Despite the fact that the actress took part in only a dozen films, she became a legend and symbol for her followers. The girl is truly incredibly beautiful, and this is how she remains in everyone’s memory: forever young and beautiful!
Diana Savelyeva
Diana Savelyeva can rightfully be called the most beautiful gypsy in Russia. Diana is a Russian actress and singer, winner of many honorary awards. The actress is known to the average person for her leading role as Esmeralda in the musical Notre Dame de Paris, where she shone not only with beauty, but also with incredible talent, the voice of a pipe and the grace of a gypsy. It is not surprising that a little later the actress was invited to the musical “Monte Cristo” to play the role of Hyde, where she continued to amaze the viewer with her talent and beauty.
The beauty studied her art not only in a bright gypsy family, but also in the capital's GITIS. Today, the popular actress tours around the world, writes romances and music herself, appears in music videos and continues to improve in the field of art.
"And in the end I will tell…"
And who are they, representatives of the Muslim religion - the most beautiful gypsies? Ogly is the self-name of gypsies who profess Islam. Here you can name Rada Matvienko, an actress and singer from Kazakhstan. She often performs songs in her national language.
True beauty cannot be measured or touched; it cannot be felt or appreciated. It always comes from within. Gypsies to this day, preserving and carrying through generations the traditions of their ancestors, are rightfully considered one of the brightest and most beautiful peoples in the world. Thus, Lyalya Zhemchuzhnaya (Romen Theater) is a recognized beauty of Russian cinema. Her sparkling eyes, graceful curves, gentle dances, alluring hair and philosophical sad songs fascinate everyone.
You can have different attitudes towards the Gypsy people, but it is impossible not to respect their age-old traditions and natural beauty!
Today the world celebrates International Roma Day. On April 8, 1971, the First World Gypsy Congress took place in London, at which the Roma recognized themselves as a single, non-territorial nation. Judging by the 2010 census, 220 thousand representatives of this ethnic group live in Russia. In fact, of course more.
1. Gypsies use meat by-products very widely in their cuisine. For example, one of the most popular gypsy dishes is harba. It is prepared from the blood, liver and lard of a pig or sheep. Vegetable stews seasoned with lard are also popular
2. Gypsies consider tea their national non-alcoholic drink. Various herbs and berries are added to black tea
3. Roma prefer strong alcoholic drinks. For men, vodka is preferable, for women - cognac. Grape wines, as a rule, are not consumed. It is considered honorable to drink a lot, but not to get drunk 
4. Young people are usually prohibited from drinking alcoholic beverages in front of older people or are required to ask their permission
5. The cult of age among the gypsies is expressed not just by respect for older people, but by respect for those who are older in general. The opinion of elders is perceived as authoritative. It is considered a terrible crime to raise a hand against an old person, even if he is physically strong
6. Many gypsies have a disrespectful attitude towards a young woman until she gives birth to a child. But the status of the mother is surrounded by honor 
7. Traditionally, gypsies smoke a lot. The first reason is mystical. According to ancient beliefs, fire and smoke scare away demons and the restless dead. To ensure that they do not reach a person, one must smoke continuously. The second reason is aesthetic. It is believed that smoking makes the voice correct for singing.
8. The most popular type of gypsy fairy tales are horror stories. Common characters in such horror stories are the living dead and ghouls, which seem to be an echo of the folklore of Indian ancestors, as well as small spirits like goblins and brownies
9. Some gypsies believe that a person in the next world needs everything the same as in ordinary life. If a person dies, then, depending on his gender, relatives or friends are given 3 items through the coffin: an icon (if a man died - male, woman - female), a bed and a carpet, symbolizing the road
10. As for jewelry, rings made of gold are popular among gypsies. Among the Eastern European representatives of this nationality, sets of eight rings of approximately the same thickness are in great fashion, one ring for each finger of the hand, except for the large ones, which necessarily differ in pattern 
11. An earring in one ear of a gypsy means that he is the only son in the family
12. It is considered impolite for a woman to walk in front of a man if he can go around behind him, and to stand with his back to the man if he is sitting 
The most beautiful, in my opinion, are gypsies. Most of them are Russian gypsies; there is also a Hungarian gypsy and a representative of Spanish-Portuguese gypsies in the ranking. Rita Hayworth is not included in the ranking because... she, contrary to erroneous belief, does not have gypsy roots.

Most of our ideas about gypsy culture are true. They really adore bright decorations and pretentiousness, and they do not skimp on emotions: if there is a wedding, so that the whole world will know, if there is a quarrel, so that several future generations will not talk to each other.
Modern communities of, say, American gypsies look a little different than we might imagine: women are not necessarily dressed in long colorful skirts and scarves. However, there is something that all members of the community strictly follow.
For example, get an education for a gypsy very rare. We are in website They were quite surprised by this and decided to find out about other rules of behavior that gypsy girls should follow.
Marriage traditions
The gypsies sacredly honor their culture, and an outsider who claims the hand of a gypsy is called a Gorger - that is, one who does not belong to their community and is not a gypsy. Girls mostly find love among the community, with rare exceptions. The desire to preserve one's own culture is so strong that marriages between cousins are not uncommon here.
A girl must marry as a virgin. What happens to a gypsy who does not preserve her virginity until marriage? She is considered dirty and has polluted the community. By doing this, she risks being left broke: not a single gypsy man would go against the rules of the community by marrying her after she gave herself to another.
By the way, average age marriage age is 16–17 years for girls and 18–19 years for boys, and this marriage, according to tradition, must last a lifetime. A gypsy woman who is married may not even think about divorce. In the gypsy community remarriages are not welcome, and in order not to “desecrate” the community, a woman can only enter into one marriage for the rest of her life.
It is extremely rare for women to separate from their husbands. And, as a rule, they no longer enter into new relationships. In the eyes of the community, this casts a shadow not only on her, but also on her daughters.
Submission to parents
A girl growing up in a gypsy community, with early age surrounded by rules dictated by parents. Of course, such a system is present in most other cultures, but in Gypsy culture, parents (and especially the father) have enormous authority, and the daughter is obliged to do what she is told. As she gets older, she is allowed to leave the house only when accompanied by family members (and these do not have to be her parents - sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles can accompany the gypsy).
For the same reason, parents often choose a husband for their daughter without relying on her opinion. Arranged marriages are not uncommon among Roma. And after the parents marry the gypsy, she will be obliged to honor and obey her husband in the same way as her parents.
Boys have much more freedom in this regard - they can leave the house alone, choose their own bride, etc.
You can't call the police
As a rule, gypsies sort out their affairs loudly and noisily, often rushing into fights with representatives of a hostile family. And this is also part of their traditions. However, all problems are resolved within families, without involving the law. It is not in their rules to sue or call the police: the gypsies would rather come in a crowd to the house of their rivals or start a showdown at a wedding. In the worst case, the family will disown the one who calls the police for a showdown. Any person in the Roma community must know that doing so is against the rules. Men accept this, but some girls still try to call their raging relatives to order with the help of the law.
We'll have to put up with violence
Statistics domestic violence in Roma communities is incredibly high. A study in England found that 61% of married Roma women in England experience violence from their spouse. Women are forced to put up with this. Gypsy Sisters contestant Mellie says that one day ex-husband locked her in a trailer, and when she managed to get out, he hit her several times. The girl's family convinced her to take the man back. The girl explains why this is so: “This is a gypsy tradition, and it must be honored.”
Keep the house clean
If in most countries a woman can afford not to be a housewife and sometimes be lazy about cleaning, then for a gypsy this is unforgivable. Hygiene plays an important role in Roma culture, and it is the woman who is responsible for keeping the house clean. She must follow several rules, in particular not to share her dishes or cutlery with anyone, including her husband. All utensils are washed several times: under running water, in a separate bowl with boiling water and again under running water.
Wash men's and women's clothing is relied upon separately. Top part The body is considered clean, while the lower part is dirty, so clothes “up to the waist” and “below the waist” are washed separately from each other. Well, of course, underwear Also subject to personal wash.
Pregnancy is a special period
Pregnant woman should not make physical contact with anyone. At this time, she does not even sleep in the same bed with her husband. Accept water treatments Refers only to consecrated water. In addition, a gypsy woman carrying a child is exempt from household duties: during this period, her husband prepares food and keeps the house clean.
American gypsies, however, sometimes neglect this rule - their women are more independent.
Wear bright and provocative clothes
Despite the fact that a gypsy woman’s behavior should be chaste, her outfit should scream the opposite. This way, she can attract the attention of her future husband without making any effort (because she meets guys first gypsy girl can not). Most shining example Such behavior is the American gypsies who dress up every day as if for a holiday. And if there is a wedding or birthday planned, are coming the most spectacular jewelry and the most luxurious dresses.
You can't go up to the 2nd floor
Photographer Evgeny Domansky captured how the male and female parts of a camp of Kotlyar gypsies enter the bus through different doors so as not to touch.
In Gypsy culture, the concept of “filth” is still widespread, which is directly related to the fact that Bottom part the body is considered dirty. This does not apply to girls and virgin girls, but sexually mature married woman considered "unclean" from the waist down, and to touch her skirt or shoes means to be "defiled." Because of this, if a family lives in a 2-story house, a woman was forbidden to go up to the 2nd floor - only children and young girls were allowed there. But in some gypsy houses there is a garage on the 1st floor, so the woman automatically ended up on the 2nd. Other gypsies say about the people living in such houses that they have become “foul.” For the same reason, because of “filth,” women sit separately from men during the feast.
Guests for men and women also come separately
Among the Kotlyar gypsies, it is customary that a married woman can only wear a skirt. Kirill Kozhanov says that unmarried girls from Kotlyarka often wear jeans, and after marriage they can put on a skirt right over them.
Certainly, some features of gypsy life are outdated. Not only that, they are also quite cruel to the girl. What do you know about any other similar traditions in other countries?
Gypsies are rightfully considered one of the largest ethnic minorities in Europe. Gypsies also live in North Africa, Northern and South America and Australia. Gypsy culture has deeply influenced world music; especially Russian, Romanian, Hungarian, Balkan, Spanish folk music, as well as on classical music XIX century, jazz, flamenco.
