People Magazine chose to rate these s as the top ten "World's Most Beautiful People 2006" (included below are their reasons why). So now let's see you be the judge. Who would you rate as the world's most beautiful person and why? (even if you'd like to acknowledge a celebrity that didn't make the top ten or someone you know personally, certainly feel free to do so).

Angelina Jolie:

"She looks the most beautiful when she's in the field – natural, no makeup, nothing," says Wyclef Jean of the actress-activist, 30. Indeed, her beauty needs are decidedly practical: a dusting of powder, a few strokes of mascara, a dab of Vaseline on her world-famous lips and – voilà! – she's ready to meet the president of Pakistan. "She wants to make a difference," says U.N. representative Guebre-Christos. "She does it with a lot of simplicity."

Jessica Alba:

Her new movie is called Awake. Here's how Alba, 25, keeps that fresh vibe. Always wears: "Moisturizer." Barely wears: "Powder. I have kind of a round nose, and too much powder makes it look rounder." Washes hair: "Most days, unfortunately. I don't think it's good for your hair." Smells like: "Gardenia and candy."

Isaiah Washington:

Playing a doctor on Grey's Anatomy doesn't require taking the Hippocratic Oath. Still, Washington, 42, follows a "first do no harm" policy with personal grooming. No scruffy beards: "What woman in her right mind wants to be stuck by a dude with a bunch of bristly hairs?" No gnarly nails: "I get manicures and pedicures." No designer haircuts: "A trim once a week. As natural as possible – not too tapered or Jheri-curl juicy."

Eva Longoria:

Longoria, 31, packs heat as a secret service agent in The Sentinel – and she shoots from the hip. She isn't vain: "Makeup artists always want to fill in the scar on my left eyebrow, but I never let them." She's a trendsetter: "She's really changed the way women on the red carpet look at color," says stylist Robert Verdi. She's practical: "I go to work in my pj's. I just have to get undressed again."

James Blunt:

Before his earnest falsetto topped the charts with "You're Beautiful," Blunt, 32, was a captain in the British army, even escorting the Queen. Up next: Summer tour for his album Back to Bedlam. What he brings on the road: "A bar of soap." Why so basic? "In the army you carry as little as possible. Most touring bands do the same." Beauty icon: "My father's in the army. He doesn't facial himself either."

Beyonce:

To play the lead in the film adaptation of the Broadway smash Dreamgirls, Knowles, 24, subjected herself to bushy eyebrows and frumpy suits. The result: Total transformation ("Very not cute," she told reporters) – and a taste of what life might have been like if she hadn't been born beautiful. "To be honest," she said, "I feel people would have acknowledged my talent a lot more."

Heather LockLear:

"Maybe 40 is the new 30," says TV's consummate California girl, 44. After splitting from husband Richie Sambora in February, the mom of daughter Ava, 8, just keeps getting hotter. So – the secret? Run, sun (strictly the fake variety) and fun. "I don't say, 'No more bread or pasta.' I just don't have five platefuls. I've always been a red-meat eater. I try to eat a little less and be aware."

Terrance Howard:

The Oscar nominee, 37, describes himself as "extra-medium maintenance."
Sweat equity: He's up at 4:30 doing 500 push-ups, 1,000 sit-ups and a three-mile run before taking his three kids to school.
Sacrificed for art: Shoulder-length hair.
Man pampering: Regular manicures plus spa weekends "with a number of massages. That's when I allow myself to be high-maintenance."

Danica Patrick:

In 2005 the 5'2" IndyCar Rookie of the Year, 24, led the Indianapolis 500 for 19 laps – a first for a female driver. And there's buzz about an even better showing at Indy this month. Still, racing can get bumpy. "You sweat so much," Patrick says. "We have a helmet and this head sock; the sun's on you. The skin takes a beating. I do MicroDermabrasion every month. And facials – they hurt so good."

Ziyi Zhang:

Although her latest role in Memoirs of a Geisha required hours of heavy makeup, Zhang, 27, prefers a more minimal approach: "I like a natural and clean look. Having makeup on, I cannot recognize myself. It changes my feelings in my heart."

Who do I say is the most BeAuTiFuL person in the history of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE???

Hmmmmm...good question. If we're talking about this list, I'd have to say Beyonce Knowles. Not only do I think she's one of the most stunning female celebrities on the exterior, but her inner strength is just as captivating. When her group, Destiny's Child was just becoming popularized with their song "Say My Name" making one of the biggest hits in 2000, Roberson and Luckett abruptly left the group that year in March by filing a lawsuit against Beyonce's father, Matthew Knowles. Despite all the betrayal, hurt, bad media attention and scandals Destiny's Child received as a result, Beyonce was able to hold her head up high and keep the group together for another five years. Talk about 110% girl power right there! Fully aware that she has many amazing qualities going for herself, she is also incredibly modest.

"I’ve worked hard and I deserve everything I have. I never thought I’d have so much money. I just wanted to be financially stable and it embarrasses me and I don’t feel comfortable talking or thinking about it. I don’t know exactly how much I have but I don’t buy much," she says.

Her intelligence, poise, honesty and maturity are qualities that also enhance her unique image.

Now in terms of who I see as the most BEAUTIFUL person currently involved in my life, I'd have to say my mom. Without her consistent belief in me and her positive influence becoming a part of who I am today, there is no doubt in my mind I wouldn't be as proud of who I have become today. For it is in the wise words of her morals, values and beliefs she has instilled in me while I was growing up that I am constantly reminded how lucky I am that the probability of ending up with a good parent was always on my side (something that millions of people out there probably wished they could have had but never did).
