Beauty is a very controversial concept. For centuries people all around the world have been trying to define what is beautiful and what is not. Besides, beauty standards are changing almost every day especially with the rise of social media and blogger culture. Thus make us think who really is the most beautiful person in the world? Can we measure it in something more tangible than just our own impressions? Or is it just the judgment too personal even to think about it? 

The secret is still not revealed. 

Beauty is a very controversial concept. For centuries people all around the world have been trying to define what is beautiful and what is not. Besides, beauty standards are changing almost every day especially with the rise of social media and blogger culture. Thus make us think who really is the most beautiful person in the world? Can we measure it in something more tangible than just our own impressions? Or is it just the judgment too personal even to think about it? 

Dropping all the prejudices, let us speak about the scientific method that is used to define beauty. That is the concept known as the Golden Ratio, a formula that represents calculation of the perfect proportions. To see whether you are meeting stereotypical ideas about beauty we have to divide the height of the face by its width, the width of the mouth by the width of the nose and finally the distance between the pupils by the distance between the eyebrows.

The perfect number which you are better to get is 1.618 (1.62 so if you round). That is what we call The Golden Ratio, the idea based on the fact that symmetry and proportionality are pleasing to the human eye and look more impressive. 

Taking into consideration the Golden Ratio knowledge, let us talk about women who are considered to be on the top of the list of the most beautiful in the world. 

Bella Hadid, placed in the top three in 2024, has been maintaining her high ranks already for a couple of years. Her high cheekbones, full lips, and symmetrical features are really notable and liked by the fans all around the globe. And the numbers speak to themself: in 2024 the supermodel was placed in third place with 94.35%. But as for Bella herself, she is not at all satisfied with herself. The problem is in her nose: at the age of 14 she had had a nose job, the decision she regretted much after. 

Other notable names on the list in 2024 are Zendaya and Anya Taylor-Joy, ranking second and first respectively. As it said in the report, their facial features best coincide with the ancient Greeks’ idea of the ‘perfect looking woman’, despite the fact that Taylor-Joy is constantly accused in blepharoplasty and a brow lift which helped her to get closer to the ideal.

Despite all scientific validity of the Golden Ratio, does it really capture the true beauty? Are there anything that might be more alluring and tempting in defining what is nice or what is not. 

To be honest, mathematical symmetry is just the tip of the iceberg rising above the others. Upbringing, personality, norms of culture and the way you behave stand you out from the crowd more than just a pretty face and a charming smile. Besides, the standards of beauty are quite changeable at times and different from country to country. For example, angular features are praised by the ones who despise soft and cute faces. 

That speaks to the fact that it’s better to have something that will really distinguish you from others. Something that catches somebody’s eyes and makes them look at you forever. 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. And do not hurry to be too skeptical about it. You might have noted that appearance is not the only thing that appeals to people’s personalities. There are a number of other qualities that make someone to focus on you such as confidence, charisma, and inner strength. 

Thus all leads us to the point that the world’s most famous women are not just beautiful dolls that have to impress you by their appearance. They are mostly known for their inner qualities like self-assuredness, talent and self-possession. Women like Rihanna or Priyanka Chopra don’t need to have hundreds of wigs on their heads or layers of makeup on – they sparkle by themselves, and their beauty is in their essence and energy along with their appearance.

It happens that it’s quite beneficial to be the belle according to all scientific criterias, but what is more important is to be not afraid to stand out and be at the front who will represent the new definition of beauty.

To summarize, we should always keep in mind that we all have different perceptions of beauty. The world now is more looking for individuality and self-sufficiency than to the appearance itself which (to be honest) you can embellish or change any time you want. And we see it from influencers, models, and celebrities of different shapes, sizes, and colors showing us that the definition of beauty is more fluid than ever before.

So, who is the most beautiful woman in the world? Nobody knows for sure and will never know. There is not a definite answer to this question and only you can give the right one. You can be whoever you want and have all of the wealth, but after all, true beauty shines from within.
