Julia Roberts Is PEOPLE's Most Beautiful Person
It's been 20 years since her role as a 'Pretty Woman,' but
Julia Roberts is looking prettier than ever. For the fourth time,
PEOPLE magazine has given her top honors in their annual Most Beautiful issue. "She's never looked more beautiful," said Ryan Murphy, director of her newest film, 'Eat, Pray, Love.' "She is so happy and fulfilled and it shows."
Roberts, 42, took on another flattering title back in January when she signed her first beauty contract to become Lancome's global ambassador. "It's fun to find myself with this type of new career at my advanced age," she said of her new position.
After the jump, see what other celebs (like Justin Bieber) had to say about making the list!

At home, Roberts prefers to lounge around in yoga pants sans makeup with husband Danny Moder and their three young children. Even her red carpet routine is fuss-free, as her beauty team revealed that it never takes more than two hours to get her ready. Even for the Oscars! "There is nothing contrived," said her hairdresser. "She believes you have to be comfortable -- you have to have a good time."
Garry Marshall, director of 'Pretty Woman' and longtime friend of Roberts, seems to attribute this relaxed attitude to her husband. "She seems to have made peace with everything," he said. "He is a laid-back guy. Surfing is his big thing. He's not a driving, ambitious husband. They kind of enjoy being with each other without a big circus."
But it's her old pal George Clooney who explains what really makes her the world's most beautiful. "There's a reason why Julia is a timeless beauty, and it has nothing to do with the way she looks," he said. "It has everything to do with who she is."
Check out a
sneak peak of who else made the cut!
Justin Bieber: "I spend five minutes on it," he said of his signature hair. "It's part of my image; it's not who I am."
Katy Perry: "When I have no makeup on, which is rare, he tells me I look like the most beautiful girl in the world," she said of fiancee Russell Brand.
Scarlett Johansson: Her two beauty staples? "Red lipstick and sandwiches."
Bradley Cooper: "I always wanted brown curly hair, brown eyes and dark skin. That's because I grew up in an Italian family and wanted everything I didn't have."
Jennifer Aniston: "I feel beautiful when I'm laughing and surrounded by friends that know me and love me and vice versa. A good body scrub and massage do the trick, as well."
Isaiah Mustafa: The newest Old Spice man says the only pampering he does is "dropping off my girlfriend in front of the nail place and then picking her up."
Sofia Vergara: "My natural hair color is blonde. It didn't match the Hollywood stereotype for a Latina woman. I think I should have always had dark hair."

Are they kidding?????????????????????? I have never felt Julia Roberts was a beautiful woman. Since I don't know her personally, nor do the majority of the American public, it's safe to say we can't know if her "beauty" is from her inner self! Therefore, this choice seems rather odd to me. And why do we have to keep recycling the same people year after year! Hey PEOPLE Magazine.........this was just a popularity contest, right?

I never thought she was beautiful either. She is in the clique. Hollywood has it's in crown. They say Julia Roberts Meryl Streep, The woman in Fatal Attraction (can't think of her name now and others are beautiful all the time. I don't think any of these women are beautiful. Sofía Vergara on Modern Family is clearly the best looking woman in Hollywood right now.
Yea, I just don't see it...never did. I could see Charlize, Halle or Scarlett.
I agree....she makes me sick. I can't stand her look.
Julia Roberts could put an 8-ball in her mouth and you'd never notice.

OMG Larry, that is too funny! Coffee just came out of my nose.
I have always liked Julia as an actress and thought she was attractive but something has happened to her in the last few years. She looks old and worn out. She looks older than her years and I have no idea what has happened to her. She looks 'dried up'.

I am unimpressed with Julia. Sure she was once beautiful now you can take her mouth and run around the block with it and still have a mile to run.
