Jennifer Lopez is the prettiest woman in the entire world in 2011, according to People magazine. The publication has unveiled its latest Most Beautiful issue, picking the singer-dancer-actress-mom-model-judge as its choice for World’s Most Beautiful Woman.
The American Idol judge, looking absolutely flawless on the spring-inspired pink and green cover of the magazine, discussed in an interview her makeup-free days from the show, skin-care regimen, diet, kids and hubby Marc Anthony.
On landing the 22nd annual “World’s Most Beautiful” coveted cover spot, Lopez said she felt “happy and proud” after the initial shock wore off.
The other beautiful people in the magazine’s double issue are listed in subcategories of hotness; here are a few of our faves:
In the “Not a Drop of Makeup,” pages, 10 women were snapped looking fresh-faced in nothing but moisturizer and lip balm. Dancing With the Stars turned Footloose star Julianne Hough is stunning in a full-page closeup. Joy Bryant, Anne Heche, Kaley Cuoco, Mandy Moore, Nikita star Maggie Q, Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale, Cheryl Burke, Angie Harmon and Hayden Panettiere all made the list.
The magazine’s got the older eye candy covered too, picking 57-year-old Christie Brinkley as the leadoff in that category. Also making the list are Stacey Dash, 44, Lucy Liu, 42, Jennifer Beals, 47, and Dana Delany looking superhot at 55.
In the “Beautiful Minds” category, Ivy League intellects Anna Paquin, Jordana Brewster, Tatyana Ali, Amanda Peet and Ellie Kemper and The Office star Mindy Kaling all made the list for their smarts.
Listed under “Year of the Bombshell” are hourglass honeys like Jessica Simpson, Sofia Vergara, Paula Patton and Christina Hendricks, who says she’s probably at her sexiest while “at home cooking.”
And finally, some familiar names are back, with some “Hall of Famers” making the list. Berry leads with a whopping 15 times, with Julia Roberts coming in second with 12 appearances. This issue marks Lopez’s 10th “Most Beautiful” appearance, tied only with George Clooney, followed by nine-time hottie Brad Pitt.
