Bella Hadid

Model Bella Hadid is the world's most beautiful woman, according to an ancient Greek study.

Top plastic surgeon Dr. Julian De Silva has scrutinised the world's great beauties, using the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, and determined Bella has the edge over Beyonce.

De Silva found Hadid's face to be 94.35 per cent "accurate" to the Golden Ratio after measuring her eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape, stating: "She is closest to the ancient Greeks' idea of perfection."

In an Instagram explanation he adds, "The list was compiled using the latest computerized mapping techniques, which allow us to solve some of the mysteries of what it is that makes someone physically beautiful. The technology is useful when planning patients' surgery.

"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."

Beyonce comes in second on De Silva's list, with 92.44 per cent, followed by Amber Heard, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift.
