Quick Answer:
Celebrities with a diamond face shape include Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Megan Fox, Robert Pattinson, and Johnny Depp: cheekbones are the widest point, with a narrower forehead and a pointed chin.
By Muhammad Rehan Iqbal, Founder and Developer of OvalFaceShape.com, specializing in face-shape analysis and styling guides
A diamond face shape has cheekbones as its widest point, with a narrower forehead, a narrower jaw and a tapered chin. Celebrities with a diamond face shape are useful reference points because you can compare a familiar face against those proportions before choosing a haircut, glasses or beard.
Who this is for:
Anyone who suspects they have a diamond face shape and wants visual comparison before a styling decision, plus hairstylists who need quick client references.

What Makes a Face Diamond-Shaped?
Three things must be true at once: the cheekbones are wider than the forehead, they are wider than the jaw, and the chin tapers to a narrow or pointed tip. In anthropometric terms, that compares zygion-to-zygion width against forehead and jaw width, landmarks defined in Farkas’s Anthropometry of the Head and Face (1994).
Most mix-ups come from neighboring shapes. Our diamond face shape guide gives the full definition. This is the quick version:
| Shape | Widest point | Forehead | Chin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond | Cheekbones | Narrow | Pointed |
| Heart | Forehead | Wide | Pointed |
| Oval | Cheekbones, only slightly | Balanced | Softly rounded |
| Triangle (pear) | Jaw | Narrow | Broad |
Female Celebrities With a Diamond Face Shape
“Named as diamond by” shows which published celebrity face-shape lists place each person in this category. It is a cross-check, not a measurement.
| Celebrity | Named as diamond by |
|---|---|
| Jennifer Lopez | PureWow, EZContacts, Newsmeter, Allurez |
| Rihanna | EZContacts |
| Megan Fox | Vision Express, Latest Hairstyles |
| Tyra Banks (model) | PureWow, Newsmeter |
| Eiza González | PureWow, Mytour |
| Viola Davis | Mytour |
| Kate Hudson | Mytour |
Male Celebrities With a Diamond Face Shape
| Celebrity | Named as diamond by |
|---|---|
| Robert Pattinson | EZContacts, Mytour, Newsmeter, The Vou |
| Johnny Depp | Newsmeter |
| George Clooney | EZContacts |
| Matt Damon | Mytour |
| Ryan Reynolds | Vision Express |
| Jared Leto, Channing Tatum, Mahershala Ali, Zayn Malik, Maluma, Jimmy Butler | The Vou |
| Kanye West | Otakus Notes |
A strong jaw can mislead. The deciding trait is cheekbones wider than both forehead and jaw, not the impression the jaw gives.
The Vou’s roundup describes three styling moves seen on these men:
- Longer or textured hair for forehead width (Jared Leto).
- Facial hair that widens the lower face (Zayn Malik, Maluma).
- Locs that add upper-face volume (Jimmy Butler).

Indian and Korean Celebrities With a Diamond Face
Newsmeter’s list names Malaika Arora and Vicky Kaushal as diamond-shaped. Its male heading is mislabeled “square”, but both names sit under the diamond entry. K-pop roundups often name Mina, Yeri, Taehyung, Eunwoo and Karina, but those pages publish no method, so treat them as leads to check.
In a consensus study of aesthetic physicians treating Chinese, Thai and Korean patients, 90% assessed overall shape, including diamond. The study also notes oval is the accepted female ideal in East Asia, with heart shape also popular.
Why Celebrity Lists Disagree?
The same person gets different labels depending on photo and method:
| Celebrity | Labels found |
|---|---|
| Halle Berry | Oval (PureWow); diamond or heart depending on the detector (Peerlist write-up) |
| Scarlett Johansson | Diamond and heart, both in Newsmeter’s list |
| Vanessa Hudgens | Diamond (Allurez, Mytour); heart (Newsmeter) |
| Selena Gomez | Round (Mytour) |
| David Beckham | Square (Newsmeter) |
Lighting, head tilt, hair over the forehead, makeup contouring and expression all shift how a face reads. Judging by eye is also subjective. A review of 108 front-view photos acknowledged that different observers may classify the same face differently.
Many faces blend two shapes, so use a celebrity as a reference rather than proof. If you’re stuck between neighbors, read diamond vs heart face shape.
How Rare Is a Diamond Face Shape?
Diamond is most often called the rarest shape, and Warby Parker describes it as one of the rarest. Face-shape detection tools report diamond at roughly 5% of users, triangle near 8.6% and oval near 28%. These come from self-selected tool users, not a random survey.
Percentages also move with method. The 108-photo review found round at 38.9%, square 29.6%, long 13.9%, oval 12% and heart 5.6%, using different categories and a small sample. Representative population data for all seven shapes is scarce, so treat every figure as an estimate.

What Research Says About Diamond Face Attractiveness?
A West London cosmetic surgeon, Dr. De Silva, reported from records of 1,000+ UK clients that diamond was the shape women requested most, with Megan Fox as his example. That measures clinic requests, not population preference.
Attractiveness research points to symmetry and averageness rather than a specific outline (Little, Jones & DeBruine, 2011). A balanced diamond and a balanced oval can be equally attractive.
Key Takeaways
- Diamond means cheekbones wider than both forehead and jaw, plus a tapered chin.
- Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Megan Fox and Robert Pattinson are the most consistently cited. Others, like Halle Berry and Scarlett Johansson, are disputed.
- Jaw strength alone never confirms diamond.
- Diamond is widely called the rarest shape, but exact percentages depend on sample and method.
- Compare your own front-facing photo with these examples, then confirm with a detector. See all examples in Celebrity Face Shapes.
Next step: Upload one front-facing photo to the Face Shape Detector to see whether your proportions match these celebrities.
FAQs
Which celebrity has a diamond face shape?
Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Megan Fox are the most consistently cited women, and Robert Pattinson the most cited man. Agreement varies, so check the disputed list above.
Is a diamond face attractive?
Yes, it’s widely considered striking, and a UK cosmetic surgeon reported it as the most requested shape among his clients. Symmetry and balance matter more than outline.
What is the prettiest diamond shape?
There’s no single prettiest version. Diamond faces range from softer to sharply angular, and the cheekbone-led proportion defines the shape, not the sharpness. “Prettiest” comes down to balance and taste.
Does a strong jawline mean I have a diamond face?
No. Jaw impression misleads. Diamond requires cheekbones wider than both forehead and jaw, whatever the jaw looks like.
How do I tell diamond from heart?
Check your forehead. Heart faces have the widest point at the forehead. Diamond faces have a narrow forehead with cheekbones as the widest point.
Does matching a celebrity’s face shape still help me choose a haircut?
It’s a useful starting point, but celebrities have professional stylists and edited photos. Confirm your own shape from a straight-on photo before copying a look.
Why do two lists give different shapes for the same celebrity?
Photos, lighting, head tilt and observer judgment differ, and many faces blend two shapes. For your own face, use hair pulled back, a neutral expression and a front-facing angle.
