Julia Roberts Is People’s Most Beautiful

by

It’s that time of the year when People magazine publishes a special issue that pays tribute to the most beautiful celebrities. This year’s coveted top spot went to 42-year-old actress Julia Roberts.

This isn’t her first time to grace the cover of People’s Most Beautiful. She’s been on the special issue cover four times before, back when she was still single. Although she’s now busy being a mom to twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 5, and Henry, 2, she still manages to look sophisticated and classy.

I don’t think even her doppelganger niece Emma Roberts, 19, can outdo Julia in the beauty department.

Other beauties that made it to the list are Scarlett Johansson, Sofia Vergara, and Katy Perry. Let’s also not forget some of my favorites hotties—Channing Tatum, Justin Bieber, and Robert Pattinson.

Did you get a copy of People’s Most Beautiful? Who was your favorite “beautiful?” Who else should’ve made it to the list?
