Well, I would pick the JASDF F-2, but seeing that it is considered an F-16, I guess it wouldn't count. So, I'll say that the prettiest non-Viper aircraft would have to be the F-104. It was one of the sleekest fighters ever built, after all, it was once known as: "The missile with a man in it".
But as far as new generation aircraft are concered, I'll choose the Su-47. By far, it's the only Russian-made fighter I'm a fan of. Although I picked the Su-47 and the F-104, I do think the Gripen, Raptor, and the Typhoon are also sweet looking aircraft.
You've just gotta love that design.

The fighter is not what counts, it's the one who's flying it that matters!

I think the prettiest fighter is the F-14 Tomcat... (after the F-16 though)
Going way back... the prettiest plane is the Messerchmit BF-109 E

Well, going waaaaay back, of course there is the Spitfire (Mk IX is my favorite).... then the F-86, and nowadays I'd have to say the Rafelle or Eurofighter, both of those look great too.
Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

2nd question of the night, you call an aircraft with all these things hangoing out in the airstream pretty...
If you ever have an oppurtunity to get a briefing on this aircraft and go up and spend some time with her, you will come to understand how truly un-pretty she is.
