Of course personality is more important than looks, and one may defy the other.
If we are talking people that you spot on the street and just look at a little longer, I love tattoos on either gender, ladies with hair dyed really bright colors, guys with long hair and a "heavy metal" look to them...not because I'm "afflicted" with a bad boy attraction. But because it is my opinion that these people have interesting talents, opinions, and interests close to my own. I, however, look a lot more normal than that. It's just what I find appealing. I also like the nerdy look, on some people. My eyes will skate right over someone who looks "normal" to me, even if they have perfect symmetry, measurements, proportions...because I assume they have nothing interesting about their personality and little in common with me. To say I like the unconventional is perhaps an understatement. I like the deliberately unconventional. I like artists, musicians, writers. People with strange philosophies, weird collections, and interesting hobbies. I see them and my eyes linger with appreciation and I want to get to know them.
In the world of Hollywood, I gotta say, an accent is sexier to me than a look. I like Craig Ferguson for pete's sakes! I like older men and the "classical beauty" look in women, too. I adore Jeff Goldblum. He blends sexy and nerdy really nice. You'd think I'd be drawn to Abby in NCIS, but I like Gibbs a lot more. Quiet confidence over childlike exuberance.
Perhaps my interests are because I've always been on more of a quest for companions than one for a mate. Seeking community, a "tribe." The mate part is easy. The other...not so much.
I'm not usually attracted to celebrities, just women I see in real life. I'm attracted to them because they're "real," thus, potentially attainable. When I met my girlfriend, she took my breath away. I spoke to her on the phone first, then met her in person. I was instantly attracted to her looks, but then her intelligence, her wit, her wisdom, her sense of humor, and many other things. She is a real person, not a fantasy. That's what I love the most.
