Beyonce Knowles: People Magazine’s Most Beautiful Woman

She’s had a banner year so far, and now Beyoncé Knowles has been named People magazine’s “Most Beautiful Woman.”

In her interview, the “Crazy in Love” songstress attributed her positive energy to becoming a mother back in January.

“I feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt because I’ve given birth. I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth.”

Knowles also gushed about her baby girl Blue Ivy- “She’s just the cutest thing. The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy. The word ‘love’ means something completely different now.”
