In a move that challenges the usual link between beauty and youth, People Magazine has named 62-year-old Hollywood actress Demi Moore as the ‘Most Beautiful Woman’ of 2025.
Featured in the magazine’s May issue, Demi becomes one of the oldest stars to receive the title. In her cover story, she opened up about past struggles with body image and shared how she now has a more relaxed and positive view of her body.
The news has captured attention around the world, redefining traditional ideas of beauty. Instead of focusing on age or passing trends, the global ranking honored lasting charm, public admiration, and true elegance — celebrating the power of confidence and timeless grace.
On Wednesday, People Magazine unveiled the digital cover of its May 5 issue, featuring Demi Moore as the ‘Most Beautiful Woman of 2025.’ The 62-year-old actress has seen a major comeback over the past year, with her film The Substance receiving critical praise and earning her an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win.
Talking about being called beautiful in her 60s, Demi said, “I have a greater appreciation for all that my body has been through that brought me to now. It doesn’t mean that sometimes I look in the mirror and don’t go, ‘Oh God, I look old,’ or ‘Oh, my face is falling’ — I do. But I can accept that that’s where I’m at today, and I know the difference today is that it doesn’t define my value or who I am.”
Demi Moore Reflects on Beauty, Body Image and Her Hollywood Comeback
At 62, Demi Moore is embracing a new phase of self-acceptance. In a recent interview, the actress opened up about her past struggles with body image and her evolving relationship with beauty. She admitted, “I did torture myself… I was really just punishing myself.”
Talking about how her perspective has changed over the years, Demi added, “Now I have a much more kind of intuitive, relaxed relationship with my body. I trust when it tells me it needs something to eat, that it’s thirsty. I listen to my body today, and I have a lot less fear. When I was younger, I felt like my body was betraying me. And so I just tried to control it. And now I don’t operate from that place. It’s a much more aligned relationship.”
Born in 1962, Demi began her career as a model before starring in General Hospital. She rose to fame with hit films like Ghost, A Few Good Men, and Indecent Proposal, later becoming the world’s highest-paid actress with Striptease in 1996. After taking on smaller roles for years, she made a powerful comeback in 2024 with The Substance, which earned her an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win.
