For instance, do you think that more Anglosaxan people will find Angelina Jolie the most attractive of the three, Indian people will prefer Aishwarya's features, and the Chinese will prefer Kelly Chen's?

for women practically every culture idolizes smooth skin, shiny hair, glossy lips, white teeth, big eyes, etc.
 
I think there are different standards not just between cultures but also between people, sometimes my friend & I, I say to him ((What a beautiful woman? he said not very beautiful & vice versa.

But very beautiful woman usually many people consider her beautiful,
but some people prefer a woman nice while others prefer her hot.
 
Paduang tribe in Thailand - long neck=beautiful.

The "big eyes" thing is not true. The Chinese used to prefer small slanted eyes, until globalization. They used to paint pictures of women and men with really small, slanted eyes.
