LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Kate Hudson is beautiful – just ask the folks at People.
The 29-year-old blonde bombshell graces the cover of the magazine’s annual Most Beautiful People issue, the magazine revealed on Wednesday.
But the actress admitted she wasn’t always such a head-turner.
“I was a tomboy. I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed,” Kate told People.
But Kate isn’t the only “Beautiful” Hollywood star featured in the upcoming issue.
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker made the list as “Perfect Partners.”
Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are dubbed “Hall of Famers,” along with Alicia Keys, Beyonce and George Clooney.
But it’s no solo affair for Gentleman George, whose girlfriend of 10 months, Sarah Larson, also made the cut, dubbed “The Newbie.”
At 42, a bold and beautiful Brooke Shields posed for the spread, sans makeup, as did Vanessa Hudgens and Kristen Bell.
Among some of the other notable names featured in the mag include Rumer Willis, Sarah Silverman, Carrie Underwood, “Dancing With the Stars” contestant and NFL star Jason Taylor, and even the entire cast of The CW’s hot show “Gossip Girl.”
For more of the beautiful people, check out People’s latest issue, on newsstands May 2.
