Beauty has fascinated humanity for centuries, inspiring art, philosophy, and science alike. While beauty is often seen as subjective, scientists have sought objective measures to understand why certain faces captivate us more than others. One such timeless standard is the Golden Ratio, a mathematical formula symbolizing harmony and balance. Recently, Dr. Julian De Silva applied this principle to analyze the faces of iconic supermodels, revealing who comes closest to this ideal. This groundbreaking study offers a fresh perspective on what makes a face truly unforgettable.

Let’s explore the top 10 most beautiful women in the world according to the Golden Ratio — an intriguing blend of science and style.

Dr. Julian De Silva’s Study: Applying the Golden Ratio to Modern Supermodels

For centuries, the Golden Ratio has symbolized balance and harmony. In human faces, this ratio can determine how aesthetically pleasing features appear to the eye. Dr. De Silva’s groundbreaking study sought to quantify beauty objectively, transcending cultural and subjective biases.

At the Center For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in London, Dr. De Silva employed facial mapping technology to dissect each feature meticulously. From eyebrow shape and eye positioning to lip fullness and chin proportion, every detail was measured against the Golden Ratio. This method offered an unparalleled insight into the science behind celebrity allure.

Naomi Campbell, a trailblazer of the 1990s supermodel era, scored 89.26%. Her eyebrows earned a high mark of 89.9%, contributing to her fierce gaze and commanding presence. However, her chin scored relatively lower at 80.4%, preventing her from climbing higher on the list. Yet, three decades on, Naomi remains a beauty icon who has shaped the fashion industry profoundly.
