It's no surprise that Amber Heard has been in the spotlight in recent years - from her controversial divorce from Johnny Depp to new film roles and the birth of twins. But in addition to these, Heard has held another unusual "title" since 2016: the most beautiful woman in the world according to science, thanks to her face's alignment with the "Golden Ratio" - an ancient Greek concept of physical perfection.
However, the top spot has changed hands several times since then.
In 2019, supermodel Bella Hadid was declared the "most beautiful according to science," with a 94% match for the ideal face proportions. Beyonce took second place, while Amber fell to third place.
Meanwhile, a computer somewhere in London (yes, seriously) measures every millimeter of the face to objectively decide who is "perfect."
In 2024, Anya Taylor-Joy was declared the "most scientifically beautiful", with 94.66% compliance with the golden ratio of beauty, especially for eye position and eyebrow shape. She is followed by Zendaya, while Bella Hadid moves into third place.
But while this kind of “measurement” may seem like a cute technological game, the truth is that beauty is not measured by algorithms. Personality, originality, and the way you feel in your own skin are not included in any scientific equation – and perhaps, that's what makes beauty so difficult to define.
