The attractiveness Galadriel would have possessed genetically would have been enhanced by the light of Aman.
The biggest enhancer of beauty seems to have been descent from Melian: Luthien most beautiful out of all the children of Eru, Dior second most beautiful out of all the children of Illuvater, Elwing second most beautiful maiden.

Earendil another with surpassing beauty had not see the trees either.

Silmaril What about Fëanor and Nerdanel?

When Fëanor married the sculptress Nerdanel, people wondered why he did so, due to her being not particularly beautiful. But she was creative, strong and wise, the only person whose advice he listened to; and they became the most prolific elvish couple ever, having seven children.

Fëanor had a lot of energy to burn in all spheres, sexual and otherwise, that's why when he died his body turned to ash. He was too hot to trot.
