Turns out beauty is more than skin deep -- even in Hollywood. This week, People released its annual 100 Most Beautiful People issue, choosing actress Christina Applegate as their covergirl for the strength she displayed last year after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a double mastectomy. And her good looks don't hurt, either.

See who else is in the aesthetic elite this year:


As usual, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and George Clooney made the cut. But there were some fresh names on the list as well, thanks in part to the Disney craze that's erupted of late. The magazine featured youngsters Demi Lovato, Emma Roberts and Selena Gomez, along with High School Musical phenomenon Zac Efron (sorry, Vanessa).


The Twilight contingent also represented, with Robert Pattinson (duh) and Kristen Stewart both making the list, along with the young ladies of 90210: Shenae Grimes, Jessica Stroup, AnnaLynne McCord and Jessica Lowndes.

Since nothing's sexier than a sense of humor, some of our favorite SNL alums and comedians were honored as well. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon, Kristen Wiig and the always-delightful Chelsea Handler cleaned up in that category.


The last surprise: First Lady Michelle Obama, arms and all, represented the White House -- along with Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
