Beyonce Named People's Most Beautiful Woman

Beyonce

People magazine has named Beyoncé Knowles as the World's Most Beautiful Woman.

But the 30-year-old singer has plenty to offer other than her good looks — she's accumulated 16 Grammy awards throughout her career. And perhaps her greatest achievement of all occurred in January: welcoming daughter Blue Ivy Carter with husband Jay-Z.

"I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth," she told People. "I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."

Jennifer Lopez is People's Most Beautiful Person

Knowles and the 42-year-old rapper have been married for four years. The couple is still overflowing with love for their baby, born Jan. 7 in New York City. "She's just the cutest thing," she said. "The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy... The word 'love' means something completely different now."

Aside from Beyoncé, the magazine's annual list of the World's Most Beautiful People includes Sofia Vergara, Charlize Theron and Christina Hendricks. Check out the full list here.

Last year's winner was singer and American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez.
