Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – but perhaps the “onlooker” is a coveted plastic surgeon. Dr. Julian De Silva, a cosmetic facial surgeon, has used the latest computerized mapping strategy to apply an ancient Greek technique, “Golden Ratio of Beauty”, to derive the most beautiful women in the world.
The Golden Ratio of Beauty, aka Phi, is a mathematical method in which formulas are applied to determine physical perfection. According to the ancient Greeks, beauty can be measured by specific ratios on face and body. In numerical form, the closer the ratios are to 1.618, which equals Phi, the more desirable a person is said to be. Dr. De Silva recently dubbed actress Jodie Comer the most beautiful woman in the world because her facial features matched the perfect ratio. “She had the highest overall reading for her nose and lip positioning, with a score of 98.7%, which is only 1.3% away from perfect shape.” Dr. De Silva explained to yahoo.
Other contenders such as Beyoncè, Zendaya and Taylor Swift have met the physical qualifications to be named the most beautiful women in the world. Keep reading for the top 10 most beautiful according to Ancient Greece methodology.
