homeliest
Most plain-looking person
Homeliest is the superlative of homely—the most plain or unattractive in appearance.
In American English, homely typically describes someone lacking physical beauty: the homeliest kid in class.
In British usage, homely more often means cozy and unpretentious, making homeliest mean most comfortable or welcoming: the homeliest cottage in the village.
