I know I'm late to the party, but:
Saab J-35 Draken in Austrian Air Force colors
And if we were strict, since we are in the "Modern Military Aircraft" section, the most beautiful (IMO) among the jets in production today:
Dassault Rafale, the French mistress you dream about even though you can't afford her

2020 and still unbeaten.
Dont tell me LM didnt have aesthetics is mind when they designed the raptor.
Didn't think so, at least when I first saw it. Looked boxy to me from some angles. But it grows on you, doesn't it? It's not as mean looking as an F-14, not as pointed as a Mig-25. But from certain viewpoints it looks downright nasty, like directly from behind, head on and when it turns aggressively. I will say this: The production F-22 is MILES better looking than the prototype. Yikes. The production version's clipped wings, re-designed horizontal stabs and slightly smaller vertical stabilizers all look SO much better, along with moving the cockpit further forward.
I do think the SU-57 is up there in the looks department too. Just a shame that the back half of it isn't as good as the first half, aesthetically at least...

beauty is in the eye of the beholder
viper does not even come close , does not even look like a fighter
I would say f101 supermarine scimitar f102 tu128 f4K etc

I have recently become interested in the Su-57 (design index T-50, NATO codification: Felon). Quite an interesting model.
