When we called for nominations, we asked: “Who is the most beautiful person you know?” Judging by the flood of responses, Chicago does not want for attractive men and women. Employing an entirely subjective, utterly nonscientific process, we picked the top 50, who then amiably let us dress them up and take their pictures. Beauty may be only skin deep—but our fabulous 50 turned out to be good company as well.
