People Names Gwyneth Paltrow the Most Beautiful Woman in the World

On Wednesday, People magazine named “Iron Man 3” actress Gwyneth Paltrow the “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” for 2013.

"I honestly thought someone was playing a joke on me. I had to reread the e-mail three times. I was like, 'This can't be true, I've developed dyslexia -- I'm not reading this right.' It's a very iconic cover in American culture, so it's just amazing,” Paltrow said of the honor.

The issue, which also includes the beautiful Kerry Washington, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Aniston and Jane Fonda, will hit newsstands Friday.

In it, Paltrow discusses her concept of beauty, which mostly includes lazy pants and going all-natural, it would seem.

"Around the house, I'm in jeans and a T-shirt. I don't really wear makeup,” she says, adding that her husband (Coldplay frontman Chris Martin) teases her. "If I've gotten fully dressed up, he'll be like, 'Oh, wow! You're Gwyneth Paltrow!' Because he's used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair.”

She adds, "I feel my most beautiful when I am truly myself. Meaning, when I accept exactly where I am in time and space, and I'm not judging myself in any way, and I feel that I have the peace that comes with loving yourself and all of your flaws. I see so much now how beauty really does, as cliché as it sounds, emanate from within.”

Paltrow also credits working out five days a week for keeping her 40-year-old body in tip-top shape, so consider the title hard-earned!
