Brad tops list

Brad Pitt

Are they-aren't they couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, have topped the latest list of the world's most beautiful.

Not to be outdone, a smattering of Brits, including actor Orlando Bloom, footballer David Beckham and actress Kate Winslet have made it on to People magazine's annual celebration of good looks.

And never far behind are homegrown love-birds Jude Law and Sienna Miller.

New mother Julia Roberts graces the cover of the special "50 Most Beautiful People" edition and ties with Halle Berry in making the list for a record-breaking nine times.

More than 500,000 votes were cast in the online poll which saw fellow Oscar winners Hillary Swank and Jamie Foxx make the grade as well as singers Alicia Keys, Usher and Jennifer Lopez.

Chat show host Oprah Winfrey, 51, is happy to share her beauty tips: "It's a combination of eating consciously, vigorous exercise and being comfortable in my body," she told the magazine.
