Beyonce has been named People magazine's most beautiful woman in the world 2012

Beyonce has been named People magazine's most beautiful woman in the world 2012. The 30-year-old singer says she's proudest of her most recent 'mommy' title to little Blue Ivy Carter, saying  "I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth,".

"She looks like Blue," says Beyoncé when asked who her daughter resembles. She the says to PEOPLE Magazine "The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy," she adds. "The word 'love' means something completely different now."

The megasstar singer also talks about her newest discovery of flat shoes since giving birth having only worn heels beforehand. “I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn’t wear heels. Now that I have a child, and I walk around holding her all day, I’m buying loafers and oxfords. [Jay-Z] loves it when I wear flat shoes, which is surprising—he never saw me in flats before! He likes me more natural—just the relaxed, natural me." And we love it too Beyonce!
