Bella Hadid declared most beautiful woman according to 'Golden Ratio' equation, Beyonce comes a close second
Supermodel Bella Hadid has been named the most beautiful woman in the world, after her face was found to be a 94 per cent match to the ‘Golden Ratio of Beauty’ - a mathematical equation known as Beauty Phi devised by the ancient Greeks to measure physical perfection.
The 23-year-old's eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and matched with the ancient Greek's idea of perfection.
Beyonce, 38, was placed second with a score of 92.44% while actress Amber Heard, 33, came third with 91.85% match. 'Side to Side' singer Ariana Grande was placed fourth with 91.81%.
However, sister and model Gigi Hadid failed to make it to the top ten.
The list was compiled using the latest technology in mapping techniques by a London facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Julian De Silva, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in Harley Street.
Dr. De Silva shared, "Bella Hadid was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection."
"She had the highest overall reading for her chin which, with a score of 99.7%, is only 0.3% away from being the perfect shape. Bella also came second behind Scarlett Johansson for the positioning of her eyes," De Silva continued.
"Beyoncé looks incredible as she approaches her 40s. She had a new perfect score for her face shape, but was marked down for her eyebrows and chin," De Silva shared.
The Golden Ratio was devised by the Greeks to measure beauty, and according to it, the closer the ratios of a face or body are to the number 1.618 (Phi), the closer one is to physical perfection. The ratio can be applied to any physical object, and was most famously used by Leonardo Da Vinci to create the perfect human male body in his work Vitruvian Man.
