Yes, hourglass is well regarded as the best body shape of women, both asthetically & in terms of representing health, but I also find most women IRL do have that body shape to some extent.

As for Belle: Disney meant that beauty wasn't just based on body type, so Belle isn't as busty. Also Belle was a more capable & intellegent woman. Finally; blonde hair, people either love it as the best hair color or hate it for stealing attention by cheap women who dye their hair for attention. Yeah, I guess so. Better than land whales or brawn hildas, that's for sure.

As far as your other point, true, but considering the villagers and especially Gaston seemed to think pretty little about her intellect (in fact, they if anything considered her odd for it and in the case of Gaston explicitly told her off for reading books, which is odd, since I'm pretty sure women would have at least read the Bible in that village), I'm pretty sure that when they were commenting on her beauty, it was not in reference to her intellect or her capabilities (meaning, even in terms of the intended meaning, they screwed it up). And I'm pretty sure the triplets' blonde hair was in fact natural and not... well, bottle blonde (besides, did they even HAVE hairdye back then?). And in either case, I wasn't even thinking of the triplets' blonde hair when I mentioned they came closer to actually looking like the most beautiful women in the village than Belle did, just their body types (since let's face it, Dead or Alive has a rarity in terms of blondes, only four natural blondes being present in the game, five if we count Sarah Bryant [and of the blondes, only three, four maximum, are busty, since Marie Rose is extremely petite even by petite standards to put it simply.], and, again, Marie Rose being the exception, most if not all of the girls' body types came closer to the triplets' appearance than to Belle's.). And TBH, a few scenes had Belle looking extremely dolled up (look at her lips, a few times they shined as if she was evidently wearing lipgloss).
