Move over Kim Kardashian, Liz Hurley is the new queen of the behinds, research says

Move over Kim Kardashian, Liz Hurley is the new queen of the behinds (at least according to new research)

  • Tiny waists and wide hips in demand, but most attractive are those in proportion
  • New study at university in Turkey found that the perfect waist-to-hip ratio is 0.7
  • Liz Hurley and Emma Thompson closer to perfection than Kardashian and Adele

The results also put actresses Liz Hurley and Emma Thompson closer to perfection than Kardashian and Adele.

The results show 0.7 is the perfect ratio for women and 0.85 in men.
