Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a cosmetic surgeon aimed for objectivity by analyzing the facial measurements of famous women using the Golden Ratio.
The Greek Golden Ratio Phi (1.618) is a formula representing aesthetic harmony that has guided proportions in art and architecture for centuries, including in works by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Dr. Julian De Silva, a renowned Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon, shared the results of his study after analyzing the faces of supermodels from the “Supermodel era” of the 1980s as well as today’s stars.

Dr. De Silva, who runs the Center For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in London, employed facial mapping technology, which allowed him to measure “every feature from eyes and eyebrows to lips, chin, jawline, and overall facial symmetry,” according to his blog.
Let’s take a look at the ten supermodels who most closely align with the Divine Proportion.
10th Place – Naomi Campbell
The iconic 1990s model was last on Dr. De Silva’s list, scoring 89.26%.
She had the second highest score for her eyebrows (89.9%) but scored poorly for her chin 80.4%, according to the study.
“Naomi was a trailblazer in the 1990s and, 30 years on from her peak, is still one of the most beautiful women in the world,” the plastic surgeon wrote.
9th Place- Emily Ratajkowski
The 33-year-old model, who gained international fame after appearing in the music video for Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines in 2013, was ninth on the list with a score of 89.37%.
Emily’s nose was nearly perfect, earning a score of 99.56%. The My Body author also received high scores for her lips (98.2%) and chin (96.7%).
“While her jawline and eyebrows scored lower, her overall facial harmony and sultry appeal have made her a standout in the modeling world,” said Dr. De Silva.
8th Place – Cara Delevingne
The British actress and model ranked eight with a score of 89.97%.
Cara had the highest score for her lips (98.5%) and her famous eyebrows (94%).
“Her striking features include sharp cheekbones and a defined jawline that give her a distinct and memorable look that breaks conventional beauty standards.”
7th Place – Liu Wen
Liu, who became the first Chinese model to walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2009, came in seventh with a score of 90.98%.
Her highest-scoring features were her chin (96.3%), eye position (95.1%), and nose (94.9%).
