Why “The Most Beautiful Woman In The World” Doesn’t Exist

This time of year delivers recycled articles that have gathered dust after months of neglect. The handful of contenders include refreshed reasons why Black women are the least likely to marry, compared to their more suitable counterparts. And then we have the annual list of “scientifically verified” beauties who are blessed with the “perfect face ratio,” and enviable symmetry that make Greek gods swoon.

A couple of years ago, Twitter went berserk after Cosmopolitan.com published the delusional recordings from a random plastic surgeon, who was also recruited to provide the updated summation for the 2019 edition of the laughable “Golden Ratio scores.” These evidently add up to the same group of White women, who are irregularly complimented by the appearance of either Beyonce or Rihanna.

Back in 2017 “the most beautiful woman in the world,” was actress Amber Heard, and she’s sadly slid down to third place to accommodate model Bella Hadid who cinched this year’s title.

The rest of the list is filled with recognizable faces who consistently make the cut but switch places to add more fun and creativity, especially with the excitement of Beyonce’s notable addition, even though her overall score placed her in second position to the dismay of the Beyhive.
