Surprising Scientific Study Challenges Conventional Beauty Standards

Science frequently verifies what we already know, but occasionally it catches us off guard with fresh discoveries that contradict widely held views. A recent scientific study that claimed a 43-year-old model might have the “ideal figure” has caused controversy. In this article, we investigate the shifting criteria of beauty and the study’s findings.

The Ever-Changing Ideal Body Type

Extremely slender body types have always been prized in the fashion business, as exemplified by famous models like Kate Moss. The once-admired voluptuous physique of Marilyn Monroe has given way to the demand for an hourglass figure. A ground-breaking study from Texas University has called into doubt this tenet, though.

Embracing Fuller and Curvier Figures

According to the study, women prefer ‘fuller’ and ‘curvier’ body types. With particular measurements for bust size, waist, and hips, the optimum BMI is listed as 18.85. It’s interesting to note that these requirements nearly match those of British model Kelly Brook, whose appearance defies conventional notions of beauty.
