Emma Stone is the most beautiful woman in the world, according to a new study using the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty.
The Oscar–winning star of Poor Things and La La Land was found to be 94.72 per cent accurate to the Golden Ratio, which measures physical perfection.
‘Emma Stone was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection,’ explained Dr Julian De Silva, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in London.
‘She achieved top marks for her eyebrows (94.2%) and high marks in all the other categories.
‘She has a near perfect jawline with a score of 97% and beautifully proportioned lips at 95.6%.
‘She came top because of her consistent excellence across all the Golden Ratio elements.’
Other stars with scientifically–beautiful faces include Zendaya, Beyonce, and Margot Robbie, according to the study.
So, do you agree with the rankings?

To understand which women are the most beautiful, Dr De Silva, used computerised facial mapping techniques based on the Golden Ratio
To understand which women are the most beautiful, Dr De Silva used computerised facial mapping techniques based on the Golden Ratio.
‘These brand new computer mapping techniques 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,’ he explained.
The Golden Ratio is a mathematical equation devised by the Greeks in an attempt to measure beauty.
It can be applied to almost anything, and was even used by Leonardo Da Vinci for the perfect human male body in his famous work, the Vitruvian Man.
The premise behind the Golden Ratio is that the closer the ratios of a face or body are to the number 1.618 (Phi), the more beautiful they become.
While Dr De Silva’s analysis found that Emma Stone is the most beautiful woman, all 10 women were close to a perfect score of 100 per cent.
Dune actress, Zendaya, was hot on Stone’s heels, with a score of 94.37 per cent.
‘Zendaya scored well in almost all categories… lips (99.5%), eyes (97.3%), forehead (98%),’ Dr De Silva explained.

‘[She was] marked down for nose–lip positioning and eyebrow shape.’
Slumdog Millionaire actress, Frieda Pinto, is next on the list with an overall score of 94.34 per cent, followed by The Crown star, Vanessa Kirby (94.31 per cent).
Jenna Ortega, meanwhile, was found to have the most beautiful forehead (99.6 per cent), but scored lowest on face shape (88 per cent).
Other stars on the list include Margot Robbie (93.43 per cent), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (93.41 per cent), and Tang Wei (93.08 per cent).
Rounding out the top 10 is superstar Beyonce, whose face scored 92.4 per cent.
‘High face shape (99.6%), eyes, brow, lips. Marked down for nose–lip position,’ Dr De Silva explained.
This isn’t the first time Dr De Silva has used the Golden Ratio to assess beauty.
Last year, the plastic surgeon used the formula to uncover the 10 most handsome men in the world.
Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was eighth on the list, with an overall score of 93.41 per cent

Aaron Taylor–Johnson tops the list with an impressive score of 93.04 per cent, ahead of Lucien Laviscount (92.41 per cent), Paul Mescal (92.38 per cent), and Robert Pattinson (92.15 per cent).
‘Aaron was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection,’ Dr De Silva explained.
‘His 93.04% score would easily make him the most handsome James Bond in the history if he does land the role as expected.
‘He is well ahead of all the James Bond actors – Sean Connery, in second place with 89.2%, with Roger Moore in third on 88.8% and Daniel Craig in last place – behind George Lazenby – on 84.2%.’
How is the Golden Ratio measured?

The ‘golden ratio’ is a mathematical formula devised in ancient Greece to determine ‘physical perfection’ by comparing measurements, ratios and symmetry.
During the Renaissance, artists and Architects used the equation, also known as Phi, as an aid during the creation of their masterpieces.
Scientists have since adapted the mathematical formula, which equates to 1/1.618, to explain what makes a person beautiful.
The length and the width of someone’s face is measured and then the results are divided.
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.
