Gorthaur the Cruel has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril The fairest?

Who truly was the fairest in the Tolkien universe? Was it Varda, Melian, Luthien, Arwen, Galadriel, or Morwen?

Raynor has just left Hobbiton.
Among the Children of Eru, Luthien sits at the top of the list:

As for Varda, we know that:

Given the status of the valar, I would personally go with Varda.
