Celebrities With Oval Faces, and Why Oval Is Hard to Pin Down

Celebrities with oval faces, as measured by Ollie's face shape scan, include Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Priyanka Chopra, Emma Thompson, Julianne Moore and Gal Gadot, and among men Timothée Chalamet, Bradley Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, Jude Bellingham and Ewan McGregor. Oval was the most common shape in the scan of 4,032 celebrities (22%), but also the least clear-cut, because the oval face sits right at the average.

Why Oval Is the Hardest Shape to Be Sure Of

Ollie ran the face scan from Ollie Stylist on one to three straight-on photos of 4,032 celebrities. Oval was the most common result, 22% of faces, but no oval result was above 50% certain, while hundreds of heart, triangle and oblong results were. That isn't a flaw: an oval face is defined as balanced, which puts it near the average of every measurement, close to several other shapes at once.

So the names below are the clearest oval faces in the index, the top quarter by certainty, not a list of people with 'perfect' faces. How the scan works is explained in what 4,000 celebrity faces reveal.

Female Celebrities With Oval Faces

Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Katy Perry, Priyanka Chopra, Emma Thompson, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Connelly, Julie Andrews, Annette Bening, Gal Gadot, Rose Byrne, Milla Jovovich, Keke Palmer, Stevie Nicks, Lauryn Hill, Heidi Klum, Kaia Gerber, Mia Farrow, Mikey Madison, Christina Hendricks and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Oval was slightly more common among women (23.6%) than men (21.2%) in the scan, though heart was the most common shape among women overall.

Male Celebrities With Oval Faces

Timothée Chalamet, Bradley Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, Ewan McGregor, Jamie Dornan, Austin Butler, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Milo Ventimiglia, Callum Turner, Jon Bon Jovi and John Lithgow, and from football Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne, Declan Rice, Ronaldinho, Paolo Maldini and Gianluigi Buffon.

What Oval Faces Do With Their Hair

The list shows why oval is called the versatile shape. Anne Hathaway has worn both a very short pixie, cut for her role in Les Misérables, and long hair; Timothée Chalamet's tousled medium-length hair and Bradley Cooper's longer swept-back styles sit at the other end. All of them suit an oval face because nothing needs balancing.

If you're oval too, start with haircuts for oval faces or the men's version.
