REAR PERFECTION
Beyoncé bottom tops cheeky survey
POP queen Beyoncé has the best bum in the world say experts who have come up with a formula for the perfect behind.
A panel of 583 plastic surgeons across the world reckon Jay-Z’s bootylicious wife measures up exactly to the ideal size.
The study found a derrière should be precisely 42.86% wider than the waist it sits below, just like the 35-year-old singer’s.
In addition to the experts, more than 450 members of the public in 35 different nations were handed a selection of digitally-altered snaps of a 27-yearold volunteer’s bum and asked to choose which most appealed to them.
Their choices were little different from the experts’ and remarkably similar across all countries.
The plastic surgeons say that this perfect waist-to-bum ratio has an attraction because it suggests good genes, fertility and high reproductive potential.
The research, by the Technical University of Munich, comes after a recent surge in popularity for “butt lift” surgery – with demand in America shooting up 20% from 2014 to 2015.
Peachy
Professor Ash Mosahebi, plastic surgeon at the Royal Free Hospital in London, said: “Around the 1990s, small buttocks became fashionable, but we seem to be returning to a larger size.
“One reason we are attracted to the size found in this research is we are exposed to it. The more often you see something, the more you like it.”
However, Beyoncé’s fellow bum trendsetter and rival Kim Kardashian – whose peachy posterior has won her a legion of fans – is likely to feel snubbed by losing out to the singer.
The 36-year-old has long been rumoured to have had buttock augmentation surgery and has built a reputation on her famous behind – even selling emojis of her own bum.
