NEW YORK – People magazine has named Beyoncé as the Worlds Most Beautiful Woman for 2012.
The 30-year-old singer tops the magazines annual list of the Worlds Most Beautiful in a special double issue. The announcement was made Wednesday.
Commenting on her selection, Beyoncé tells People: I feel more beautiful than Ive ever felt because Ive given birth. I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this Earth.
Beyoncé, who is married to rapper Jay-Z, gave birth to a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, in January.
Shes just the cutest thing, says the Grammy winner, who sings to her daughter and claims to love changing diapers.
Does Blue resemble mom or dad?
She looks like Blue, the singer says. Shes her own person.
The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy, she adds. The word love means something completely different now.
Other celebrities on the list include Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and Jessica Pare of Mad Men.
