Beyonce Named “Most Beautiful Woman” Of 2012

Motherhood agrees with Beyonce, so much so that People magazine has named her 2012's World's Most Beautiful Woman.

The singer, who gave birth to daughter Blue Ivy on January 7, told People, "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."

People's "Most Beautiful" issue hits the stands Friday.
