Beyonc beats Angelina Jolie, Adele to 'World's Most Beautiful Woman'

Beyonc has been named the 'World's Most Beautiful Woman'.

The singer beat competition from Adele, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Middleton to top the list, which was compiled by People magazine.

"I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth," Beyonc said. "I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."

Speaking further about her daughter Blue Ivy Carter, Beyonc added: "She's just the cutest thing."

Asked if her daughter resembles her mother or her father Jay-Z more, the star responded: "She looks like Blue. She's her own person.

"The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy. The word 'love' means something completely different now."

Beyonc recently Skype called Polish producer Jimek, who won a remix competition after re-working the singer's new single 'End Of Time'.
