Beyonce Knowles scales People’s 2012 World’s Most Beautiful Women List, but credits her and husband Jay Z’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, for being the source of her beauty emanating from within.
“I feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt because I’ve given birth,” the 30-year-old said. “I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth.”
On the cover, Jay Z’s wife of four years has a close-up showing off her beautiful skin, sheer pink lips, soft hair sweetly draping her nude face, white tulle, turquoise jewelry (an obvious, continuous ode to Blue), and an unmistakable iridescent glow.
While the “Countdown” singer, who loves all that mommy-hood offers including diaper changes, gushes insanely about her little girl as the “cutest little thing” and already seeing her as “her own person,” the mag displays an array of other Hollywood hotties steaming enough to grace the coveted pages this year.
Next up behind Bey? Modern family’s Sofia Vergara who blatantly accepts the open doors in the name of her beauty without guilt. Charlize Theron is third behind the buxom beauty who recently adopted a little boy, Jackson.
“I was too tall, too big, too late for the supermodel look of the Eighties. Kate Moss and all the tiny, grungy girls had just become fashionable, and I didn’t fit the bill,” the Huntsman star told Vogue magazine recently about getting her start.
“Mirror, Mirror” rising star Lily Collins (and daughter of Phil Collins), hit the list at the number four spot which is great press and honor for a fledgling actress.
Revenge’s Madeleine Snow, Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks, actresses Michelle Williams and Paula Patton, country singer Miranda Lambert, and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, round out the top ten list respectively.
Congrats to all the beauties!
