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."

Sandra Bullock or Jennifer Anniston would knock her off the list easily IMO.
So stupid. Julia Roberts is a nice looking woman but the world’s most beautiful? Far from it. There are shop girls and waitresses and hotel maids all over the globe that are more beautiful that her.
Can’t see it, myself.
I feel...inadequate...just looking at that maw of a mouth.
She actually looks pretty much normal in that shot.
Sorry, no sale here. There are many more beautiful women out there, including our First Lady.
Her way of explaining to her parents that she was playing a hooker in her first major role was,”Well, it’s a Disney movie”.
So do all the stallions at the ranch, don’t feel bad! ;)
She does look good for 49. Too bad she’s a big, fat lib whose movies I’ll never watch.
nah, Tom Brady left her for Giselle!
But she’s a nasty person. So...
With a mouth like that, she could play Hillary Clinton.
But she tried to humiliate and force out his first wife with nasty tactics. Diva.
I don’t think so.
