Angelina Jolie remains the most admired woman in the world, according to an annual YouGov survey.
Each year, the polling company conduct a cross-country survey to rank the men and women across the world who are most admired. This year, the survey spanned 35 countries and more than 37,000 people were interviewed by YouGov to compile the list.
