The title of 'Most Beautiful Lady on Earth' is not a crown worn by a single person, but rather a hotly contested title determined by a fascinating mix of science, critical acclaim, and global fan votes. As of late 2024, the landscape of global beauty is dominated by a diverse group of women, each representing a different facet of what the world considers beautiful. This year’s rankings highlight a significant shift, moving away from a singular, Western-centric ideal to embrace a more global, multifaceted definition of beauty, with Asian and Middle Eastern stars making a powerful impact on every major list.
The conversation around the world’s most beautiful woman has become a complex debate, involving mathematical precision, the subjective taste of critics, and the immense power of digital fandom.

The Three Pillars of Modern Beauty Ranking: Science, Critics, and Fandom
The reason there is no single, universally agreed-upon "most beautiful lady on earth" is because the title is measured by fundamentally different standards. Understanding these standards is key to appreciating the diversity of modern beauty.
1. The Golden Ratio (Scientific Beauty)
The Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi (1.618) is a mathematical formula derived from ancient Greek philosophy, used to measure physical perfection. This method assesses the symmetry and proportion of a person’s face, including the distance between the eyes, nose, and lips. The closer a face's proportions are to 1.618, the higher its score.
Bella Hadid's Dominance: Supermodel Bella Hadid has consistently ranked at the top of lists based on this scientific metric. Her face is often cited as achieving a near-perfect score of around 94.35% alignment with the Golden Ratio. This scientific endorsement gives her a powerful, objective claim to the title of the world's most "perfectly proportioned" face. Her beauty is defined by flawless symmetry, a classic ideal that transcends cultural trends.
Jodie Comer’s High Score: Another notable mention in this category is British actress Jodie Comer, who has also achieved a remarkable score of 94.52% in some analyses, demonstrating that this scientific measure is not limited to the modeling world but also found in the acting industry.
2. TC Candler’s 100 Most Beautiful Faces (Critic’s Choice)
The annual "100 Most Beautiful Faces" list by TC Candler and The Independent Critics is perhaps the most globally recognized and influential ranking. Unlike the Golden Ratio, this list is not purely scientific. It is based on a panel of critics who judge not just aesthetic perfection, but also grace, elegance, originality, passion, poise, and the ability to influence global beauty standards. The emphasis is on a holistic, contemporary definition of beauty.
Andrea Brillantes' Triumph: For 2024, the list crowned Filipino actress and entrepreneur Andrea Brillantes as the most beautiful. Her rise to the top reflects the growing global recognition of Filipino talent and the diversity of modern celebrity beauty. Brillantes' win is a testament to her unique charm, powerful on-screen presence, and her influence among the Gen Z audience.
A Globalized List: The TC Candler list is known for its broad global scope, consistently featuring a high number of K-pop idols, Bollywood stars, and other international figures. BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, for instance, is a perennial high-ranker on this list, showcasing the immense cultural power of K-pop in shaping global beauty perceptions.
3. The Power of the Popular Vote (Fandom and Influence)
In the digital age, a woman's popularity and influence are often measured by fan-based polls, which reflect the passion and dedication of global fandoms. While these polls are subjective, they are a powerful indicator of a star's reach and ability to inspire millions.
K-Pop and C-Pop Dominance: K-pop and C-pop stars frequently dominate these public polls. Chou Tzuyu of the girl group TWICE, for example, has consistently topped major polls like KingChoice, securing the number one spot in the "100 Most Beautiful Women in the World 2024" poll. Her global appeal and recent solo debut with *abouTZU* have kept her firmly in the public eye.
Similarly, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo was also declared the 'Most Beautiful Woman in the World' in a 2024 poll organized by Nubia Magazine, further cementing the status of K-pop visuals as the global favorites. These results demonstrate that for a large segment of the global population, 'most beautiful' is synonymous with 'most beloved' and 'most influential.'
Final Verdict: A New Era of Diverse Beauty
The quest for the "most beautiful lady on earth" in 2024 leads to a conclusion of beautiful diversity. There is no single winner, but rather a set of queens reigning over different domains. Bella Hadid holds the scientific crown, Andrea Brillantes wears the critic’s laurel, and K-pop stars like Jisoo and Chou Tzuyu wear the popular vote’s diamond tiara.
This multi-faceted result is a positive development, indicating that global beauty standards are finally expanding to include a wider range of ethnicities, career paths, and aesthetic ideals. Whether it's the mathematical perfection of a supermodel, the dynamic talent of a Filipino actress, or the magnetic charm of a K-pop idol, the most beautiful women of today are defined not just by their looks, but by their influence, grace, and ability to inspire millions across the globe.
