Not Katrina or Kareena Kapoor! Meet the only Indian on the world's 10 most beautiful women list

When it comes to beauty, the spotlight often shines on Bollywood’s finest like Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor. But this time, it’s another Indian actress who has made headlines for being among the world's ten most beautiful women. And the list is topped by none other than British actress Jodie Comer!


In a ranking released in 2023 by Dr. Julian De Silva, a facial cosmetic surgeon based in London, Jodie Comer has clinched the top spot with a stunning score of 94.52 percent. The rankings were determined using the Golden Ratio formula, an ancient method that measures beauty through specific facial proportions.

Dr. De Silva explains that Comer stands out due to her nearly perfect facial features. With an impressive 98.7 percent for lip and nose alignment, she excels in the proportions of her nose, the shape of her lips, and the positioning of her eyes. "Comer’s chin is elegantly sculpted," Dr. De Silva noted, citing her as a true beauty icon.

Deepika Padukone is on the list too

While Jodie Comer takes the crown, Indian actress Deepika Padukone shines brightly at ninth place, scoring 91.22 percent. Deepika, one of Bollywood's highest-paid stars, has previously been recognised as the sexiest Asian woman by Eastern Eye in 2018. With a strong fan base and impressive career, she continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Deepika, who recently welcomed a baby girl with her husband, Ranveer Singh, is gearing up for her next project, Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty, set to hit theaters on November 1. As one of the industry's top earners, she commands a fee ranging between ₹15 crore and ₹30 crore per film, reinforcing her status as a major player in Bollywood.

The complete list

Curious about who else made the list? The complete rundown of the world's ten most beautiful women according to Dr. De Silva features: Jodie Comer (94.52%), Zendaya (94.37%), Bella Hadid (94.35%), Beyoncé (92.44%), Ariana Grande (91.81%), Taylor Swift (91.64%), Jourdan Dunn (91.39%), Kim Kardashian (91.28%), Deepika Padukone (91.22%) and HoYeon Jung (89.63%).

The science of beauty

The Golden Ratio measures beauty by comparing the length and width of the face, with a result close to 1.618 considered ideal. This ratio can also be applied to various facial features, providing a detailed analysis of beauty.

So there you have it! While Bollywood’s leading ladies have long captured our hearts, it’s refreshing to see Deepika Padukone recognised on a global scale.
