The conventional wisdom says this is a city of former class presidents and valedictorians, not prom queens and kings. But after a six-week hunt for the best-looking Washingtonians, we discovered that brains come wrapped in some surprising packages. How did we find these people?

We asked everyone we spoke to: Who’s the most beautiful person you know? We collected hundreds of photos. We had a few rules. No models, no underachievers. In the end, we found a dentist who made us swoon. A law partner who turns heads. A restaurant owner who looks decades younger than he is.
