The 8 Most Beautiful Women in the World ‘Cause Science Says So

As a society we’re obsessed with measuring things. Who is the tallest person in the world? Sultan Kösen, a farmer in Turkey. Who is the richest? Not Elon Musk; at least not anymore! What is the longest avenue in the world? Yonge Street in Toronto. But when it comes to determining who the most beautiful woman in the world is, that would seem to be subjective, right? Not according to Julian de Silva, a plastic surgeon based in London. He has developed a formula called the “Golden Ratio score” that unequivocally ends the debate. It’s ironclad, folks. Case closed. It is based on a series of measurements that are considered to be characteristics of beauty, such as the distance of the top of the nose to the center of the lips, facial length/width ratios, etc. With that in mind, here are the 8 most beautiful celebrities if Dr. de Silva is to be believed.

Although Delevingne makes a living by having a face that people like seeing in magazines, it wasn’t always that way. Growing up, the British supermodel and actress has stated that growing up she “looked like an albino gremlin,” and childhood photos do seem to confirm this. But lots of dudes are into that, so who are we to judge?
