Although stars like Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé, Zendaya, the Kardashians, Taylor Swift, and the Hadid sisters often dominate beauty rankings, this time the title of the world’s most beautiful woman was awarded to a 62-year-old screen icon who has charmed audiences for decades and boasts a collection of accolades, from Golden Globes to Academy Award nominations. Demi Moore, who was a strong contender for an Oscar this year but missed out, was named PEOPLE magazine’s World’s Most Beautiful Woman. She now joins the ranks of the oldest women to receive this honor and graced the magazine’s digital cover, where she opened up about preserving her stunning looks and youthful energy, while navigating the realities of aging.

Demi Moore graces PEOPLE magazine cover as World’s Most Beautiful Woman at 62

People Magazine unveiled its May 5 issue with Demi Moore gracing the cover in a stunning royal blue dress that perfectly matched her elegant style. She posed confidently, her long, wavy hair cascading down naturally, paired with minimal jewelry and a soft, natural makeup look. Moore recently received her first Oscar nomination for her performance in the sci-fi horror film The Substance. Although she didn’t take home the award, she graciously acknowledged Mikey Madison’s win for Anora and has been candid about the experience. At 62, Demi Moore has truly earned the grace, success, and admiration she now enjoys. From a turbulent childhood and difficult marriages to raising three daughters—Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah—with ex-husband Bruce Willis, her journey has been marked by both trials and triumphs.

In her candid interview with People magazine, Demi Moore spoke openly about the challenges she’s faced in maintaining her physical appearance, including adhering to strict diets and grueling workout routines. She admitted that, in the past, she would often “punish” herself in pursuit of the ideal look, especially at her age. In her recent film The Substance, Moore takes on the role of a struggling, aging fitness instructor—a performance widely praised as one of the strongest in her career. The role not only earned her long-overdue accolades but also marked a powerful return to the Hollywood spotlight. She said, “I have a greater appreciation for all that my body has been through that brought me to now,” she said, though she has her moments of doubt. “Sometimes I look in the mirror and go, ‘Oh God, I look old,’ or ‘My face is falling.’” But the difference today? “It doesn’t define my value or who I am.”

Demi Moore’s acting career began before she even turned 19 when she landed a role on General Hospital. It was there that she realized she could actually make a living from acting, despite struggling with insecurities since childhood. During the interview, she shared that she had amblyopia (a wandering eye) and had to undergo surgery to correct it. Along with a less-than-appealing childhood haircut and a jean jacket adorned with bows, she jokingly said, “It was really not attractive.” On top of her career accomplishments, Moore is also known for her kindness, especially for the unwavering support she’s shown her ex-husband Bruce Willis as he faces serious health challenges. “No matter what, we’ve always been a family,” she said. “Making our children the priority, that’s never wavered.” As for defying beauty norms, she’s never been one to follow the crowd. “I remember hearing you shouldn’t have long hair after a certain age. But that never made sense to me,” she remarked.
