The 10 Most Beautiful Women In The World (According To Science)

To know who are the most beautiful women in the world, you have to measure female beauty via science… The idea seems crazy? Not for this surgeon who drew up the top 10 most beautiful women in the world.

Is beauty something that can be measured objectively? At a time when the canons of beauty and fashion are being challenged by the body positive movement which advocates self-acceptance in its beautiful imperfection, scientists (obviously not very sensitive to the societal debate), have established the ranking of the most beautiful women in the world … according to criteria inspired by ancient Greece. Dr Julian de Silva, a plastic surgeon from the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in London (UK), has based himself on the mathematical model of the “golden ratio” to establish “scientifically” the perfect beauty of a face.

The surgeon then used face mapping technologies to calculate with this mathematical formula the faces closest to the golden ratio, which could be considered “perfect” according to this criterion. According to the golden ratio theory, the closer the ratios of a face or body are to the number 1.618 (Phi), the closer they are to the ideal beauty.

The most beautiful women in the world, a history of science

The Daily Mail, the British tabloid that relayed the findings of this study in October 2019, explained in its columns how the faces were identified, which we will reveal next (we spare the suspense!). Different measurements of the face were taken: the length and width of the face, the forehead, the eyebrows, the proportions of the nose, the lips, the distance from the eyes to the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin …

To be considered beautiful according to the golden ratio (called Phi, equivalent to 1.618), the length of the ear must be equal to the length of the nose and the width of an eye must be equal to the distance between the eyes,” explains The Daily Mail. The various measurements made by the surgeon’s software have resulted in the closest celebrity faces to ideal facial proportions and perfect symmetry.

Here is what emerges from this ranking of the 10 most beautiful women in the world:
