Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Julia Roberts tops People magazine's Most Beautiful People list for the fourth time after being signed as the face of Lançome at the age of 42.
Other women featured on the annual beauty barometer include Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie as well as Zoe Saldana, who is the new face of Avon, L'Oréal spokesmodel Scarlett Johansson, and Jennifer Aniston, who recently announced she would finally launch her own fragrance, Lolavie.
Jennifer Lopez also makes the cut, and together with Berry, Jolie, and Roberts, she makes for a refreshing, more mature trend on the list (even though young stars like Amanda Seyfried, and even Justin Bieber on the men's side, were also included).
The inclusion of Kelly Osbourne suggests a welcome trend towards 'unconventional beauty,' which is in tune with Hollywood's recent efforts to recruit more 'real-looking' actresses.
Actor George Clooney summed up the new zeitgeist, telling People why he thinks Julia Roberts is still considered the fairest of them all: "It has nothing to do with the way she looks. It has everything to do with who she is."
On the men's side, Channing Tatum, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Bradley Cooper all made the list.
