Scientists from the University of Konstanz say curvier stars are more attractive than slimmer celebs.

The researchers say it is a woman's overall 'curviness' rather than just having a slim waist.

A lower waist-to-hip ratio is only attractive for women with a lower body weight.

For larger body types, curviness rather than waist size was the key factor in someone's attractiveness.

Some authors have also suggested that a strongly curved spine might have helped women walk for long distances in the past. Likewise, Professor Hübner argues that curviness could have been a sign of increased fertility which our ancient ancestors evolved to seek out. The authors write: 'Body width not only indicates the amount of fat around the hips, but also the pelvic width, which is important for successful birthing.' This means that curviness might be something our brains are programmed to find attractive at the evolutionary level in a way that the waist-to-hip ratio only partly captures..
