The Ottomans also liked to take Circassian slaves (whom were known for their beauty) and would end up in the harem.

It's why the last emperors looked as they did.

My root is coming from Circassian. Circassian girls are famous for their beauty. This is not only true for Ottomans but nearby states at that time and Harem is completely different story.
