On Wednesday, People magazine announced its pick for “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” of 2017 and ― drumroll please ― it’s Julia Roberts, who’s now earned the title a record five times.
That’s right, Roberts has been named “Most Beautiful” more times than anyone else, surpassing Jennifer Aniston and Michelle Pfeiffer. She first appeared on the issue in 1991 at the age of 23, fresh from her role in “Pretty Woman.”
“I am very flattered,” the Oscar-winning actress said of the recent accolade, later adding, “I think I’m currently peaking.”
Now, yes, Roberts is beautiful, but if we’re being honest, so is everyone else in Hollywood. We can’t help but think of a slew of other stars who could have earned the title for the first time, let alone a fifth. (Taraji P. Henson, anyone?)
People’s Editorial Director Jess Cagle explained the magazine’s choice in his editor’s letter:
"When it came time to choose a cover for the 2017 World’s Most Beautiful issue, it seemed that the time was right for Julia Roberts. At 49, Julia has never looked better. Her beauty also lies in her self-assurance and smarts and good humor. It lies in her ability to evolve while retaining the best parts of herself. It lies in her talent for creating characters and telling stories that take us to new places. And it lies in her family-first ethos: Despite all the delights, distractions and temptations of an impossibly privileged existence, nothing ignites her famous smile more than game nights with her kids."

My Korean is better than your Korean.
That picture reminds me of the time I saw “Jaws” on the big screen.
LOL! For real!!
couldn’t pick someone different? A different Hollywood actress. Plenty on TV or in movies.
It is interesting how very closed that group is. All past 40. All on the best whatever list their whole lives.
Proof People is out of touch with real people.
I’ve heard Marilyn Monroe had dirt rings on her neck.
I hear you need to have a hundred mile per hour fast ball for her number.........
Oh please. She’s not unattractive but “most beautiful”? Ridiculous. Melissa George is worlds more beautiful. And that’s just off the top of mt head. Rachel Weisz. Kate Upton. Raquel Benetti. Plenty of more gorgeous dames.
There is a special place in Hell for you for doing that!!!
I think she is pretty but I don’t understand how they could pass up Sandra Bullock. Dummies.
Whoever she is.
No. Not even back in 1990.
“Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.”
I remember that. It reaffirmed my feelings about her movies: I wouldn’t pay good money to see one.
More PC baloney... her flagging "career" must need a boost and her friends in the PC media are more than willing to shamelessly come to her aid.
