Supermodel Bella Hadid, 23, is the most beautiful woman on earth, according to the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi – the measure of perfection used by the ancient Greeks.
Hadid’s facial proportions were found to be 94.35 per cent close to the Golden Ratio following a study conducted by London-based plastic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva using computerised mapping techniques.

The measurements were made using a proprietary face-mapping technology and the ancient Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty.

The Golden Ratio was also used in antiquity as an aid for the creation of their masterpieces and was also used during the Renaissance.

The mathematical formula for beauty measures the length and the width of someone’s face and then the results are divided. The ideal result is roughly 1.6. Measurements are taken from the forehead hairline to the spot between the eyes and from the spot between the eyes and the bottom of the nose and from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin.

The more equal the numbers, the more beautiful the person is considered.

The symmetry and proportion of the face is also considered. The Golden Ratio requires the length of the ear to be equal to the length of the nose and the width of the eye to be equal to the distance between the eyes.

Today I have been featured in the @dailymail and @bazaaruk, declaring @BellaHadid the most beautiful woman in the world – according to the 'Golden Ratio' equation devised in Ancient Greece (and Beyoncé is a close second). The 23-year-old was found to be 94.35% 'accurate' to the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi – which measure physical perfection. Her eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the ancient Greeks' idea of perfection. Singer @Beyoncé, 38, was second with 92.44%, actress @AmberHeard, 33, was third with 91.85% and pop star @ArianaGrande, 26, was fourth with 91.81%. Kate Moss, 45, the highest rated Briton and in sixth place overall, had a reading of 91.05% – well ahead of her rival and the UK's other most successful supermodel, @CaraDelevingne, 27, who was in tenth place with 89.99%. The list was compiled using the latest computerised mapping techniques which allow us to solve some of the mysteries of what it is that makes someone physically beautiful and the technology is useful when planning patients' surgery. The Golden Ratio was a mathematical equation devised by the Greeks in an attempt to measure beauty. #news #beauty #plasticsurgery #harleystreet #beautifacation #beautifulfaces #jdsgoldenratio

The Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi 2/10 #jdsgoldenratio @beyonce – 92.44% Beyoncé came in second place as she scored highly on her forehead and brow area. She looks incredible as she approaches her 40s. She had a near perfect score for her face shape. How is the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi measured? The Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi originates from the European Renaissance. Artists and Architects used an equation – known as the Golden Ratio – as an aid during the creation of their masterpieces. Scientists have since adapted the mathematical formula to explain what makes a person beautiful. The length and the width of someone's face is measured and then the results are divided. According to the Golden Ratio, the ideal result is roughly 1.6. Measurements are then taken from the forehead hairline to the spot between the eyes, from the spot between the eyes and the bottom of the nose and from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin. A person is considered to be more beautiful if the numbers are equal. Attention is then given to the symmetry and proportion of the face. To be deemed 'beautiful' according to the Golden Ratio, the length of the ear must be equal to the length of the nose and the width of an eye should be equal to the distance between the eyes. #news#beauty#plasticsurgery#harleystreet#beautifacation#beautifulfaces#jdsgoldenratio
