Though beauty remains deeply subjective, Dr. Julian De Silva has made a tradition out of challenging that idea.
Each year, the Harley Street cosmetic surgeon releases a ranked list claiming to identify the world’s most objectively beautiful celebrities by applying mathematical analysis to their facial features.
At the center of De Silva’s method is the Golden Ratio, a formula that has been used for centuries in art and architecture, including in works attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.
By digitally mapping facial landmarks and comparing their proportions to the Golden Ratio, De Silva argues that it is possible to measure who are the most beautiful female celebrity faces in 2025.
