Top 10 Most Beautiful Women in the World (According to Golden Ratio Science)

Scientifically speaking, the most beautiful woman in the world is Anya Taylor-Joy. The actress achieved a stunning score of 94.66% on the Golden Ratio. The position of her eyes in particular scored almost perfectly. With that, she knocks supermodel Bella Hadid off the throne, who topped the list for years.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but according to the ancient Greeks it is mostly in mathematics. The more symmetrical the face and the better the proportions between forehead, eyes and chin, the more 'beautiful' we subconsciously find someone.

Dr. De Silva uses advanced face-mapping techniques to see which celebrities come closest to this Greek ideal. The recent top 10 is a mix of Hollywood stars, singers and international icons.

Here are the 10 women who mathematically come closest to perfection.

Anya Taylor-Joy (94.66%)

The actress with the unique look takes first place.

It's a very close call, but Zendaya has to settle for silver. According to the computer, the star of Euphoria and Dune has the most beautiful lips and forehead of all the women on the list. Her face is extremely symmetrical, which explains why fashion magazines like Vogue constantly ask her for covers.

For years she was the undisputed number one. Bella Hadid has a face that plastic surgeons often see as 'the textbook example'. Her chin scored an insane 99.7%, meaning it can hardly be improved mathematically. That she is now in third place is purely because the new competition scored slightly higher in other areas (such as eye position).

#4
