People magazine unveiled Kate Hudson as the cover girl for its list of the world's 100 most beautiful people.
People said Hudson was chosen to showcase the unranked list because the natural beauty she represents is now at the height of fashion.
Hudson "just embodies such an incredible natural beauty that is in vogue right now," People Senior Editor Galina Espinoza said on The Early Show Wednesday.
"We've gotten so accustomed to celebrities getting breast implants and nose jobs, and she will talk about being flat-chested and having a little bit of an offbeat look."
Hudson, 29, daughter of actress Goldie Hawn, told the magazine that she can't remember the last time she had a manicure or a facial. "I don't do those kinds of things. And when I do, I always think, 'I should do this more often'," she said.
Also on the list were teen pop idols Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical, both of whom have been criticised for appearing in racy photos.
Hudgens also promoted the natural look saying "just recently I've learned to be okay with myself without wearing make up".
Among others on the list were Halle Berry, who makes a record twelfth appearance, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Matthew McConaughey, Johnny Depp, Alicia Keys and Beyonce

What lies beneath
Successful relationships need to be worked upon. The period between the first spark to the raging fire and the embers is surprisingly short, and thereafter it’s work, work all the way.
Love may reign strong in many fortunate cases even after the spark is long gone, but passion play needs work. Also, it never hurts to mix a little passion with love for a heady cocktail, does it?
It may sound rather frivolous to people post a certain age bracket, but the role of sexy lingerie to spice things up in the bedroom cannot be stressed upon too often! If you are not used to wearing lingerie in the bedroom, it’s not too late to start. Sometimes change for the sake of change can work wonders! If you are fighting shy of a sudden makeover, choose a special occasion to start off with. Anniversaries, Valentine’s Day are good excuses.
Once you start to look, you will be surprised with the range of options available in this segment in the market! There are some lingerie that attract attention to the bust, while others to the derriere. Sexy lingerie and fantasy play go hand in hand, allowing you to play a new game with your partner every evening!
As the creative juices start to flow, include an element of drama with role-playing tactics! Men are visual creatures. You can start to build up for the evening by sending your partner messages about your underwear on his cell phone. If your man is even slightly romantic, be sure they will show at your doorstep with at least a bottle of wine in the evening after this teaser!
Remember, an ignorant buy of a smaller or bigger size can be otherwise interpreted! Also, know which parts of your body is cool so go flaunt it

Mukesh Ambani's $2 billion home world's most expensive: Forbes
The 27-storey skyscraper being built in Mumbai by Mukesh Ambani, the richest person in India, could be the world's largest and costliest home with a price-tag nearing two billion dollar, according to Forbes magazine.
"When the Ambani residence is finished in January, completing a four-year process, it will be 550 feet high with 4,00,000 square feet of interior space," Forbes said in a report on its website.
Earlier in March, Mukesh Ambani was ranked as the fifth richest person in the world with a net worth of 43 billion dollars by the Forbes magazine in its annual list of world's wealthiest billionaires. While Lakshmi Mittal, who is an Indian citizen was ranked higher at fourth, he is a British resident. Among resident Indians, Mukesh was ranked at top.
"The only remotely comparable high-rise property currently on the market is the 70 million dollar triplex penthouse at the Pierre Hotel in New York, designed to resemble a French chateau, and climbing 525 feet in the air," Forbes said in its report titled, "Inside The World's First Billion-Dollar Home."
Mukesh Ambani heads India's most valuable firm Reliance Industries, an oil and petrochemicals giant.
"Like many families with the means to do so, the Ambanis wanted to build a custom home. They consulted with architecture firms Perkins + Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates, the designers behind the Mandarin Oriental, based in Dallas and Los Angeles, respectively," the report said. "Plans were then drawn up for what will be the world's largest and most expensive home: a 27-story skyscraper in downtown Mumbai with a cost nearing 2 billion dollars."
According to Forbes, Mukesh, along with his wife Nita Ambani and three children, currently live in a 22-story Mumbai tower.
The report further noted that the cost for the Ambani residence, called Antilla whose shape is based on Vaastu, would be more than a hotel or high-rise of similar size because of its custom measurements and fittings.
While a hotel or condominium has a common layout, replicated on every floor, and uses the same materials throughout the building, the Ambanis' home has no two alike in either plans or materials used, it said.
"At the request of Nita Ambani, say the designers, if a metal, wood or crystal is part of the ninth-floor design, it shouldn't be used on the eleventh floor, for example. The idea is to blend styles and architectural elements so spaces give the feel of consistency, but without repetition," it said.
"Atop six stories of parking lots, Antilla's living quarters begin at a lobby with nine elevators, as well as several storage rooms and lounges. Down dual stairways with silver-covered railings is a large ballroom with 80 per cent of its ceiling covered in crystal chandeliers."
The report said that Ambanis plan to use the residence occasionally for corporate entertainment also and they want its interiors to have a "distinctly Indian" look and feel.
"The top floors of entertaining space, where Ambani plans to host business guests (or just relax) offer panoramic views of the Arabian Sea... For more temperate days, the family will enjoy a four-story open garden," it noted.
