This made me laugh a bit. Not an easy thing to do.

“Jessica Alba, the film actress, has the ultimate sexy strut, according to a team of Cambridge mathematicians.”

“Professors have hailed the waist-to-hip ratio as a significant factor in judging female attractiveness - women with a waist-to-hip (WHR) ratio near 0.7 (waist circumference that is 70% of the hip circumference) are invariably rated as most attractive.” And why? “The 0.7 WHR also gives Jessica the torso strength to produce a better angular swing and bounce to the hips when she walks, helping her to show off her best assets when she walks – her shapely curves and smooth, glossy legs.”

in other news, someone wrote a scholarly paper in response to some comments made on a blog, most serious victim of trolling i've seen.

This is just one of many such anthropomorphic ratios that has been studied, there is many other such studies, and a lot with very good science behind them.
