Sorry ladies - supermodel Bella Hadid has been declared the most beautiful woman in the world following scientific research into what constitutes the 'perfect face'. In an age where we're trying to stamp out comparisons, eh? Great timing.

The 23-year-old was found to be 94.35 percent 'accurate' to the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi - a snazzy name for a measure of physical perfection that dates back to ancient Greece.

Bella's eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the Greeks' idea of perfection.

Singer Beyoncé, 38, was second, coming in with a 92.44 percent match-up to those standards, while actress Amber Heard, 33, was third with 91.85 percent and pop star Ariana Grande, 26, was fourth with 91.81 percent.

Beyoncé came in at number two.

Forty-five-year-old Kate Moss - the highest rated Briton, in sixth place overall - had a reading of 91.05 percent, placing her well ahead of her rival and the UK's other most successful supermodel, Cara Delevingne, 27, who was in tenth place with 89.99 percent.

The list was compiled using the latest computerised mapping techniques by Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva, who utilises the technology in his work. So it must be true.

Dr De Silva, who runs the London-based Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery, said: "Bella Hadid was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.

"She had the highest overall reading for her chin which, with a score of 99.7 percent, is only 0.3 percent away from being the perfect shape. Bella also came second behind Scarlett Johansson for the positioning of her eyes.

"Beyoncé ran her a close second, scoring the highest marks for the shape of her face (99.6 percent) and getting very high scores for her eyes, brow area and lips.

"These brand new computer mapping techniques allow us to solve some of the mysteries of what it is that makes someone physically beautiful and the technology is useful when planning patients' surgery."

Scarlett Johansson topped the charts for her eyes.
