Washington DC: At 47, actor Jennifer Aniston has been named as the ‘World’s Most Beautiful Woman’ by People Magazine in its 2016 edition of the list.

People’s 100 Most Beautiful People is an annual list of 100 people judged to be the most beautiful individuals in the world. Until 2006, it was the 50 Most Beautiful People. The magazine has been publishing the list since 1990.

Aniston now holds the record of being the second oldest person to top the magazine’s annual list. The oldest person to be ranked number one by People magazine in its 100 Most Beautiful People list is Sandra Bullock, who last year topped the list at the age of 50.

The Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy winning actor said that she has learned to embrace her appearance over the years and insisted that she feels her best when she’s healthy and strong. 

Aniston declared herself “very, very flattered” by the honor. She counts women such as Gloria Steinem, Lauren Hutton and Brigitte Bardot as her beauty icons. She said “It's funny, it’s a really quick transition from not a care and now all of a sudden, we’ve got to really be mindful of what we put inside our bodies.” “And how we sleep and take care of ourselves. You can get away with a lot in your 20s,” she further added.

However, it is not the first time Aniston has topped the list. In 2004, at the age of 35, she was named as the World’s Most Beautiful Woman for the first time. The 2016 list is the second time she earned the tile.

The Friends alum who transitioned to movies — her latest role is in Mother’s Day — got lots of attention in her early years for her trendy haircuts and style, but as she’s gotten older she’s become admired for her healthy lifestyle and age-defying yoga body.

In the list’s 27-year-history, only two men have topped the list — Tom Cruise in 1997 and Leonardo DiCaprio in 1998. Julia Roberts has topped the list the most number of times out of anyone — four times (1991, 2000, 2005 and 2010). She is followed by Aniston and Michelle Pfeiffer, both of whom topped the list twice. Pfeiffer topped the list in 1990 and 1999.
