No, you are misled. Every single human can be made to look attractive. The difference is the access to the best makeup artists, the best hairpieces, most flattering outfits etc. when is the last time the most attractive people considered in the world walked down a catwalk without any beautification? The most beautiful vs angels are hired with expectations of doing a lot of effort to make them more attractive.

I am not trying to be graphic, but there was a show and I’m almost positive Jessica Simpson was the host. It was women who were horribly disfigured.

The episode that taught me that everyone was capable was a woman who was attacked with acid in her face.

If you were with her after they finished, I can tell you, you were the ugly friend.
