Though beauty remains deeply subjective, Dr. Julian De Silva has made a tradition out of challenging that idea.
Each year, the Harley Street cosmetic surgeon releases a ranked list claiming to identify the world’s most objectively beautiful celebrities by applying mathematical analysis to their facial features.
At the center of De Silva’s method is the Golden Ratio, a formula that has been used for centuries in art and architecture, including in works attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.
By digitally mapping facial landmarks and comparing their proportions to the Golden Ratio, De Silva argues that it is possible to measure who are the most beautiful female celebrity faces in 2025.

Utter nonsense. It's so subjective, and there are way more attractive women - Charlize Theron springs to mind.

This is about mathematical proportions, not about who's hottest, sexiest etc. Some of the hottest people alive have off balance facial features fgs.

British actor Jack O'Connell has crooked teeth, and I think he's hot. I hope he never has them "fixed" because it would ruin his look.

So, a cosmetic surgeon defines what is deemed attractive, in order to drum up business for his industry? 🤔🤔🤔 Sounds legit 🙄🙄🙄

They should call these The Most Beautiful Famous People. I suspect every single person would agree with me when I say it's not at all uncommon to see a woman who is light years more beautiful than anyone on this list. On a train, in a store, on the street, anywhere.

To be fair they do not look half bad. But then they have photographers, make up artists, money, support staff, etc etc to make sure they look good.

Personally, I’ve always found myself attracted to people with unique facial features, scars, or birthmarks. Some like that cookie cutter Barbie doll look. We like what we like I guess.

Just goes to show the golden ratio is singularly inadequate as a definition of beauty... because not a single one of these women would have made my own top 10 list - it's just an opinion that attempts to use a very narrow formula to describe something very complex and not remotely grounded in math (i.e. human emotions) to justify the author's feelings. The simple fact that Jennifer Connelley isn't on this list completely invalidates it IMHO.

Attributing a number or formula to something doesn't make your approach automatically "scientific". More often than not you're just codifying your own bias.

I am not sure how much math was actually involved in here. :D April fools is in few months guys :) sure, beauty is personal preference, but please! there are thousands "celebs" that are more beautiful than most of ppl from this list. And we know that's not only me. This is like.. Universally agreed upon. (without mentioning, I would put 3 from this list on my personal hidious list, if there was such a thing)

Oh, look: all thin-but-curvy, young models and actresses. What would be interesting would be be to see who else BESIDES such women would be identified by a search program that found people who matched this very abstract notion of a trait of beauty. Do such oddly defined-as-beautiful end up more commonly as CEOs? Politicians? Substitute teachers? (I gotcha covered, Honey!) What about odd looking yet appealing people, like Bjork? Or people who would normally be far far away from the public spotlight but for a photo which caught people's attention, like National Geographic's Afghani woman with the eyes (IYKYK)? Does this make people seem more likeable even if they don't inspire lust (Melissa McCarthy)? How about old people? This is nothing more than, "Hey, look! Presumptively s**y women!"

Never. It's too ingrained. And it's not just women. There are a bunch of places naming the sexiest man or the most eligible bachelor. And those fireman calendars don't feature the the fat or homely ones.

I watched a doc abt 20’yrs ago.. aome big Hollywood man. He said men and women are Made to be beautiful. Studio pays whatever it needs to make them beauties, because that in turn will make them ££, the amt of money spent on their looks and bodies must be 6 figures annually.
