Isn't Tilda Swinton the muse of one of those avant garde designers? I can't recall who, but I'm guessing much of her appeal is that she can wear anything and appears to have a sense of humor about fashion. I'd love to see her dressed like Djuna Barnes.

Some Tilda Swinton fashion stuff:

The last one has the freakiest fashion, IMHO. These are all from Fabulon - they love her! (Note: These are all worksafe, but parts of Fabulon are NSFW.)

Swinton is the most attractive Hollywood actress - to me, anyway.
I'm curious -- what is it that you find attractive about her? Because to my eyes she's so very plain and creepy, but I read lots of praise about her appearance. So -- given that everyone's MMV (I will *never* understand the appeal of, say, Sean Bean, or the new James Bond guy), what features/characteristics make Tilda Swinton so appealing?
(I feel like a moron for not finding attractive the people who many of my friends find attractive. Like, Steph! Your eyes are broken!)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Tilda Swinton is unnaturally beautiful, but not very attractive. In fact, more offputting.
And I still think last night's dress was appalling.
Sean Bean and Daniel Craig are rugged verging on the joli laid. Manly and rrowr.

It's weird - she's kind of manly-looking, right? I tend to find androgynous women rather attractive. Or maybe it's the big ears and buggy-eyes....

I think she's attractive, particularly her bone structure. But maybe striking is a better word.
And I think she looked fabulous last night, despite her god-awful dress. But she often has hideous clothes.
Furthermore, to me, she's not one of those people trying to be a "star", so I give her more of a pass on wardrobe. But the people trying? Who have all the resources in the world to look great? I don't get why they make the choices they do.

I think it was here that I once commented about Swinton being beautiful without actually being pretty. There's just something compelling about her—I'm pretty sure it's a combo of movement and expression rather than anything concrete about her features.

Hm. Again, I'm curious, but just about the semantics: how can someone be beautiful but not attractive (or even "not very" attractive)? I would have thought it would be the other way around. Like, one can be attractive but not beautiful, but not vice versa.
Sean Bean and Daniel Craig are rugged verging on the joli laid. Manly and rrowr.
I see the rugged, but it doesn't come off as attractive to me.
