Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?

If only we could answer that question as quickly as the magic mirror in Snow White, since there is ______ a fixed definition of beauty.

But People has been trying to ______ that tough question since 1990. And this year’s top choice was 49-year-old US actress Julia Roberts. This was her ______ time to win the title.

While Roberts is perhaps not the perfect choice in everyone’s mind. People has its own ______, and it’s not just about her looks. The beauty of Roberts also ______ in her confidence and smarts and good humor.

The choice for 2014 was Nyong’o. She ______ feel very “unbeautiful”. She even prayed to God that she could wake up one day ______ lighter skin - something that, as an African girl, she would never have. But that was ______ 2014 when Nyong’o impressed the world with her Oscar-winning performance in the movie 12 Years a Slave.

“I think happiness is what makes you ______.” Barrymore told People. “If somebody walks into the room and they’re gorgeous (美艳的) and sexy, it’s really fun to look at. But if someone makes you laugh and feel good, that’s a whole other level of beauty.”
