The Ideal Body With Findings From MYA
MYA recently conducted a study whereby 1,000 men and women were asked which
celebrity they believed to have the perfect figure. Not surprisingly, Kim
Kardashian and David Beckham ranked highest; Kim is famously known for her
beautiful hourglass figure, which is the epitome of sexiness in most men and
women�s eyes, whilst David�s slim but muscular physique has been idolized for
many years.
In the female
category Beyonc� came in at a close second, with her bum, legs and abs voted the
best. Channing Tatum took second place in the men�s category winning best abs.
The study
reveals that the modern day perception of beauty hasn�t changed since the
1950�s, as curvy, pin-ups girls and muscular V-shaped men were the most desired
of that era.
Alongside Kim
Kardashian and Beyonc�, Jennifer Lopez ranked highly on the �perfect body� list
of celebrities. This again reinforces our perception of beauty, as Jennifer�s
figure is perfectly toned, curvy and hourglass shaped. Megan Fox, Cheryl Cole
and Cameron Diaz also made the list. Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher and Cristiano
Ronaldo also made the men�s list. Their physiques mirror the ever coveted
V-shape; broad, muscular shoulders, a toned midriff and a wide back. The full
list of results can be
found here.
Men and women
shouldn�t be discouraged by these results. The results show that the ideal body
shape for women isn�t actually down to being bootylicious or big-busted, it�s
just about being in proportion. For men, the same goes, being as ripped as
Channing Tatum or Cristiano Ronaldo isn�t key as the slimmer David Beckham took
first place for most categories. All three men have proportional bodies.
Overall, the
study displays reassuring results. Whilst cultural trends continue to thrive,
such as size 0 catwalk models and extreme body builders, ultimately men and
women will consistently choose healthier, natural figures.
