Nothing tops the sexy allure of the iconic figures from way back when. There will always be tons of celebrities, but these are the select few who stood the test of time and will always be considered beautiful. Until now, we’ve only had black and white photos of these historical sex symbols — but black and white just doesn’t do them justice, does it? So some artists on Reddit took these iconic photos and colorized them for us, bringing these sexy icons of the past to life. Check it out:
