Seven Turkish actresses have entered the 2025 edition of the “100 Most Beautiful Faces” list published by TC Candler, drawing attention to the global reach of Turkish television and film.
The annual list, prepared by the U.S.-based platform and followed by millions worldwide, includes actresses, models, singers, and public figures from many countries.
This year, all Turkish names on the list come from the acting world, a detail that reflects the international visibility of Turkish drama series across multiple regions.
According to rankings published by Turkish media, seven actresses from Türkiye secured places on the list.
Their positions are as follows:
Hande Ercel ranked as the highest placed Turkish name on the list. The 32-year-old actress has built a large international following, supported by the overseas sales of Turkish TV series in which she starred. She also has more than 32 million followers on Instagram, placing her among the most followed Turkish actors globally.
Ozge Yagiz appeared on the list following her leading roles in recent television projects. She is expected to return to screens in 2026 with new series productions.
Cemre Baysel entered the TC Candler list for the first time this year. She recently returned to television with the series "Guller ve Gunahlar" (Roses and Sins), where she stars alongside Murat Yildirim.
Su Burcu Yazgi Coskun, born in 2005, gained wide recognition through the series "Kardeslerim" (My Siblings). Industry reports suggest she has received multiple offers for new projects planned for 2026.
At 23, Cemre Arda is one of the youngest Turkish actresses on the list. She is set to make her cinema debut with the film "Asik Veysel", scheduled for release in April 2026.
Sila Turkoglu rose to prominence with her role as Doga in "Kizilcik Serbeti" (Cranberry Sorbet). She left the series in late 2025 and is expected to return with a new television project.
Afra Saracoglu, known internationally for "Yali Capkini" (The Golden Boy), will return to television in January with the new series "A.B.I", where she takes the lead role.
TC Candler’s list does not function as an official competition, but it remains a widely cited reference in popular culture. The platform selects candidates from hundreds of nominees worldwide and publishes the final rankings annually.
Media coverage notes that the strong presence of Turkish actresses aligns with the global expansion of Turkish TV series. Turkish productions continue to reach audiences in the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and parts of Asia, increasing international recognition for their lead actors.
