Julia Roberts Named People’s ‘Most Beautiful Woman’ For The Fifth Time
Huffington Post ^ | 04/19/2017 | By Julia Brucculieri

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."

Don’t be sorry! :)

I’m glad others are aware of this. They should be.

I’m not one of those who automatically refuses to watch Hollywood libs, but I make an exception for those who make ugly remarks.

I read she doesn’t think much of showers either.

Is that Steven Tyler before gray hair?

Recall Ms. Julia stated the word Republican appearing in the dictionary between reptile and repugnant. I’m thinking it’s self-fulfilling prophesy stuff - she’s careening off the cliff of becoming a reptile herself. By the time she wins this award for the 9th time, she will probably be full-blown Sleestak.

Lastly, can someone explain to me why some women adore the ‘Pretty Woman’ movie yet fail to acknowledge that Ms. Julia was playing a huuu-ah (also pronounced ‘whore’)? A movie about exploitation of women is somehow a great love story?!

That has to be an unnaturally huge mouth.

It looks haunted and hideous.

She said those things while presenting an award to Bruce Willis, When she got done Bruce Willis stepped up to the microphone and said he was a republican.

Her mouth is too big - literally and figuratively.

People Magazine’s readership is aging.

“I can’t understand how this small group of favored insiders tend to get permanently wired in.”

People magazine is a PR publication. People mock The Star and the Enquirer, but People magazine is essentially owned by Hollywood agents. The ONLY reason Julia Roberts was named People’s Most Beautiful Woman is because her career has stalled dramatically and her overhead is staggering. Roberts needs this big publicity boost.

You recall correctly, unfortunately. :(

I assume the voters are mostly horses.

You must have missed the memo: prostitution is no longer degrading to women. It’s actually empowering. After all it’s “my body, my choice “ and if I want to use my body to make money then I am an empowered woman free from the constraints of an old fashioned, misogynistic culture.

I wish I could add a sarcasm tag, but it’s all too real.

If what I heard is correct, she has a stable marriage and three kids. Highly unusual for the Hollyweird crowd. Good on her.

Years ago I thought that with her freakishly large mouth, she could play the villain in my proposed third filme in Michael Keaton’s “Batman” series, “Batman 3: Batman vs Mrs Joker.”

If her mouth were any bigger the corners of her lips would join up around back.

How does her "transition" compare with Caitlyn Jenner's?

I get it, though, Julia Roberts sells magazines. Like Jennifer Aniston.

You put somebody new on the cover and it doesn't sell as well.
