Hollywood superstar Emma Stone has just been crowned the “most beautiful woman in the world” based on a scientific study using the Golden Ratio standard, and the result? Surprising and somewhat confusing.
In a study conducted by London-based plastic surgeon Julian De Silva, Emma Stone scored high with 94.72 percent. According to De Silva, Stone’s face excelled in nearly every aspect; from the eyebrows, jawline, to the lips. “Emma Stone is a clear winner when all elements of the face are measured by the Golden Ratio standard,” he said.
Perfect eyebrows? Checked (94.2%). Ideal jawline? Almost perfect (97%). Lips with perfect proportion? 95.6%. This combination helped her surpass other big names like Zendaya, Beyoncé, and Margot Robbie.
The method used is quite sophisticated: computer-based facial mapping, measuring the size, ratio, and symmetry of every facial feature, from forehead to chin. The principle is that the closer the proportions of the face are to the number 1.618 (Phi), the more “ideal” it is.
But hold on—does this mean the definition of beauty can be measured with a calculator? According to some experts, no. After all, beauty is still subjective. However, this survey still provides an interesting glimpse into how science tries to quantify human visual appeal.
So yes, Emma Stone is theoretically the most “proportional,” with a face that’s “nearly perfect by the numbers.”
But outside of numbers? Our tastes can be very different.
