The 30 year-old 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.” Motherhood looks good on Beyoncé.

She really never looked more beautiful and happy. The woman is glowing and madly in love with baby Blue. “She’s just the cutest thing,” gushes the proud mama. “The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy. The word ‘love’ means something completely different now.”

Other beautiful women on the list include Sofia Vergara, Charlize Theron, Lily Collins, “Revenge” star Madeleine Stowe, Christina Hendricks, Michelle Williams, “Mission Impossible” hottie Paula Patton, Miranda Lambert and Prince William’s wife Kate Middleton.
