Science shows this 43-year-old model has the ‘perfect body’
A 43-year-old model was recently identified by researchers from Texas University as having the “perfect body,” which contradicts conventional beauty standards. The research challenges conventional wisdom by indicating that a curvier and fuller body type is preferable.
Despite the modeling industry’s long-standing preference for slim bodies, the study brings attention to alternative standards of beauty. Research indicates that the ideal body measures include a body mass index (BMI) of 18.85 as well as precise measurements of the bust, waist, and hips, with an emphasis on a curvier figure and a clearly defined waist-to-hip ratio.
Even though people often call British model Kelly Brook’s figure “plump,” she really fits these ideal proportions. Her body type seems to fit the profile of what scientists find most appealing in men, according to the study.
Nevertheless, many people have different ideas about what constitutes beauty. Recognizing beauty in all its forms, including those of plus-size models like Ashley Graham who question industry standards, is important, as this study reframes beauty conventions.
The study concludes that different people have different ideas about what constitutes beauty and that it’s important to embrace diversity in this regard.
