People released its annual "Most Beautiful" issue on Wednesday, which includes 100 of the most stunning people from the worlds of film, television, music and politics.
Breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate made the cover of the annual "Most Beautiful" issue, in a list that welcomed newcomers U.S. first lady Michelle Obama and T.i.ight heart-throb Robert Pattinson.
The actress, who has undergone reconstructive breast surgery since last year, told People in an interview that it was hard to look at herself naked. "You don't look the same anymore and you never will. A part of you is gone. ... It's a decision that you made to save your life," she said. It was Applegate's third appearance on the People list.
Michelle Obama, who has achieved celebrity status and has wowed the world as a fashion icon, made the list for the first time. "I had a father and a brother who thought I was beautiful, and they made me feel that way every single day," Obama told the magazine.
Pattinson, 22, who has a huge teen girl following after appearing in the Twilight movie blockbuster, said he didn't quite understand his heartthrob status. "I don't get it. It's funny, you look the same for years and no one ever mentions it. Then suddenly it's a big deal," he told People.
The 100 list also included old favorites George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Halle Berry. Some of the celebrities, including actress Eva Mendes and supermodel Cindy Crawford appeared in a "Stars Without Makeup" section in which they were photographed wearing no make-up for their close-ups.
