These are the most attractive grey-haired celebrities in the world according to the golden ratio

George Clooney, Steve Martin and Daniel Day-Lewis are among the group of actors who are known not only for their acting skills but also for their gray hair.

They belong to a group of older men who have aged well and are known as silver foxes due to the color of their locks.

It has long been assumed that men get “better” with age, with men like Clooney and Brad Pitt maintaining their heartthrob status even into their 60s.

But now Hollywood women are embracing gray, too, with Glenn Close, Andie MacDowell and Meryl Streep being dubbed the “silver vixens.”

Dr. Barbara Kubicka, aesthetic medicine doctor, author and founder of Clinicbe in Knightsbridge, said appearance can be linked to stability and knowledge.

Using the golden ratio – a list of proportions that some people use to measure their attractiveness – and analyzing internet searches, Slingo has now compiled a list of the most attractive silver vixens.

Glenn Close attends the 14th Governors Awards in Los Angeles in January, showing off a shock of white hair. Meryl Streep (pictured) came fourth on the list. The aesthetic doctor said it is becoming increasingly fashionable to embrace authenticity when it comes to beauty. Andie MacDowell, who has chosen to age gracefully and have her brown locks transformed into an elegant gray, was number seven on the list. Helen Mirren left her natural hair down at the L'Oreal show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year

The Golden Ratio was a mathematical equation invented by the Greeks to measure beauty.

While the ratio can be applied to anything and was used by Leonardo Da Vinci in his famous work “The Virtruvian Man” for the perfect human male body, it is also applied to the human face.

The premise behind it is that the closer the proportions of a face, a body or a room are to the number 1.62, the more beautiful it becomes.

This is the female equivalent, and according to the analysis, Glenn Close is the winner of Hollywood's Silver Vixens.

According to statistics, the 101 Dalmatians star has a facial ratio of 1.61 – which is just 0.01 below the golden ratio of 1.62.

Jodie Foster came in second with a ratio of 1.64, which is just 0.02 above the facial beauty golden ratio of 1.62.

Third place was shared by Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren, whose facial beauty ratios of 1.59 and 1.65 were just 0.03 away from the golden ratio.

What is the Golden Ratio?

The Golden Ratio was a mathematical equation invented by the Greeks to measure beauty.

While the ratio can be applied to anything and was used by Leonardo Da Vinci in his famous work “The Virtruvian Man” for the perfect human male body, it is also applied to the human face.

The premise behind it is that the closer the proportions of a face, a body or a room are to the number 1.62, the more beautiful it becomes.

Although they may seem complex, they can actually be fairly simple equations that you can try out yourself.

For example, the simplest measurement is the length of your face divided by the width of your face.

The width of the lips divided by the length and the length of the nose divided by the width are other calculations you can try.

20th century artists and architects, including Le Corbusier and Dalí, have used the golden ratio. The golden ratio also occurs in some patterns in nature, including the spiral arrangement of leaves and other parts of plants.

Now aged 74, Meryl has sported many hairstyles throughout her career, but after revealing a natural white look in October last year she quickly made headlines.

Dame Helen Mirren, on the other hand, has been wearing her natural white hair for some time now.

From her elegant updo at this year's prestigious Golden Globes ceremony to her loose natural curls at the L'oreal Spring/Summer 2024 show, the actress has flaunted her stunning locks at numerous events.

“Some people find gray hair attractive because it is associated with maturity, wisdom and life experience and suggests stability and knowledge,” she said.

However, she explained that there is a “double standard between men and women with gray hair,” which she believes is “shaped by social norms and media representation.”

Dr. Kubicka explained: “Grey hair in men is often described as “posh” and enhances attractiveness without compromising perceived vitality or youthfulness.

“On the other hand, women with gray hair have traditionally faced greater stigma and social pressure to color their hair to maintain a youthful appearance.”

“In addition, there is a growing appreciation for the natural beauty and authenticity of gray hair as a sign of self-acceptance and self-confidence, allowing individuals to stand out in a society that often values ​​youth and conformity.”

She continued: “The gray hair trend oscillates between coloring and embracing, influenced by changing beauty standards and cultural shifts.”

According to the doctor, dyeing gray hair has been “the norm” for many years – especially when it comes to women “meeting up to society’s expectations of youth and beauty.”

However, she said there is a noticeable shift towards switching to natural hair. This includes gray hair, which she believes is “supported by a broader trend that values ​​authenticity, self-acceptance and challenges traditional beauty standards.”

The doctor added: “Celebrities play an important role in shaping beauty standards and trends and influencing the perception of gray hair.”

“Public figures who love their natural hair or choose a distinctive style inspire fans and the general public to follow suit, promote a broader conversation about aging and beauty, and encourage others to love their natural hair.”
