Jennifer Aniston has been chosen by People magazine as the World’s Most Beautiful Woman for 2016, making this her second time receiving the honor. The 47-year-old actress appears on the cover of the May 2 issue, radiating beauty in a stunning floral top and a sparkling cocktail ring on her finger. In the magazine, she discusses her beauty tips, her marriage to Justin Theroux, and even opens up about her childhood insecurities regarding her “bubble butt.” Watch the video below for more on Aniston’s latest achievement.
Such a prestigious recognition: People magazine crowned Jennifer Aniston as the Most Beautiful Woman in the World.
Stylish: The 47-year-old actress dazzled in a photoshoot for the magazine cover and a series of stunning images featured inside.
Women to admire: She cited Gloria Steinem, Brigitte Bardot, and Lauren Hutton as her inspirations for beauty.
In a recent video with PeopleTV, Jennifer expressed her surprise at being named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman for the second time, the first being in 2004. She recalled feeling like a teenager and being incredibly flattered by the news. When asked about her secret to staying gorgeous after over two decades in the limelight, Jennifer mentioned her beauty icons such as Gloria Steinem, Brigitte Bardot, and Lauren Hutton. She credits her radiant appearance to taking care of herself, including a daily regimen of vitamins like Viviscal, omegas, and vitamin C. Additionally, Jennifer stays active by working out six days a week, with a mix of spin-yoga classes, weight-training, and cardio sessions at home. According to her, the best part is feeling most beautiful after completing a great workout.
Jen expressed her gratitude for being awarded the title, saying she was truly honored and it made her feel like a young teenager receiving a much-appreciated compliment.
Keeping in shape: She shared extensively about her wellness regimen and how it enhances her appearance.
Double-dater: She was first crowned with this title more than ten years ago, back in 2004.
Wow, that’s quite a regimen! She mentioned that she has a daily intake of essential vitamins that she diligently takes three times a day. “By prioritizing my health, I keep my endorphins up and my blood flowing,” she explained. “I’m taking good care of my one and only body.”
Maintaining high endorphins keeps her in a happy state of mind, which she believes is crucial for both physical and mental well-being. “I believe that inner confidence, peace, kindness, honesty, and living a fulfilling life are the secrets to true beauty,” she expressed. “It’s about facing challenges head-on without being burdened by shame or criticism from others. That negativity is just toxic noise.”
Despite what fans of Friends might think, Jennifer Aniston emphasized that she didn’t always feel so confident or look as radiant as she does now.
How she achieves it: She candidly shared in the publication about her tips for staying beautiful and her personal doubts.
Two times the exposure: Not only did she chat with the magazine for the latest issue, but she also took part in a video interview.
We think it’s great: The actress revealed that she was once described as ‘plump’ when she first entered the entertainment industry.
She added that she wanted contouring as she felt her face was “practically a perfect circle.”
Currently, she is surprised that larger buttocks are considered fashionable, as she put in a lot of effort to slim down her own.
“In my twenties, my face was quite plump and I really relied on contouring,” she recalled, acknowledging that her appearance had been less than ideal before. Now, as she works on sculpting her face into a more angular shape, she sometimes wishes she still had those chubby cheeks.
Having shed pounds after being told she was too heavy by an agent early in her career, she blames her previous unhealthy diet of milkshakes and fries with gravy. “I used to be quite plump,” she lamented. These days, she starts her mornings with hot lemon water, coffee, and a protein shake, while opting for a salad at lunch and roasted chicken at dinner. For snacks, she enjoys string cheese and hard-boiled eggs.
However, she still struggles with one area of her body that has always been a bit fuller than she would like.
Stating she’s happily engaged, she described her husband, Justin Theroux, as the most effortless person to be with, highlighting his captivating nature and genuine curiosity in others.
Oh, those lovebirds! The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony back in August 2015.
Next on the horizon, she is slated to appear in the upcoming movie Mother’s Day, scheduled for release in theaters on April 29.
“I’ve never really been a fan of my behind. It’s been a bit of a sore spot for me. I used to have a rounder backside and was made fun of for it,” she shared. “And now, people are willing to shell out money to have things injected. Meanwhile, here I am, sweating over squats, thinking, ‘What’s the latest trend now?'”
“Nowadays, I’ve come to terms with my body. I’ve learned to embrace all of it,” she added. “My perspective on beauty has evolved over time. It’s about accepting and loving every part of yourself, not just focusing on outward appearances. There is so much beauty beyond clothes and makeup on a person.”
Jennifer also gave insights into her relationship with her husband, Justin Theroux, explaining how they often exercise together and praising him as “the sweetest and most kind-hearted person.”
“He’s incredibly considerate, which means a lot to me,” she gushed. “He’s just so easy to be around. We have the most engaging conversations, and he never fails to make me laugh. He’s such an intriguing and genuinely interested individual.”
