( CNN ) People magazine has anointed Sandra Bullock the world 's most beautiful woman of 2015 , the publication revealed on Wednesday . Bullock , 50 , joins a long line of actresses to receive the honor , including last year 's cover girl , Lupita Nyong ' o , and Gwyneth Paltrow in 2013 . She seems to be taking it all in stride , calling the whole thing `` ridiculous . '' `` Real beauty is quiet . Especially in this town , it 's just so hard not to say , 'Oh , I need to look like that , ' `` she told People . `` No , be a good person ; be a good mom ; do a good job with the lunch ; let someone cut in front of you who looks like they 're in a bigger hurry . The people I find most beautiful are the ones who are n't trying . '' The cover story focuses on Bullock 's home life with her son , Louis , 5 , and her efforts to stay healthy and fit past her 40s . `` I was putting him to bed and told him that even when I 'm old and gray and more wrinkly than I am now , I 'll still love him and want to tuck him in , '' she said . `` And he asked why I have wrinkles , and I said , 'Well , I hope some of them are from laughing so much . ' And he touched my face and said , 'You 're not old , you 're just happy . ' `` The Oscar-winning star of movies including `` Gravity , '' `` The Blind Side '' and `` Crash '' said she 's happy with who she is . `` As long as I 'm healthy and strong and I do n't let this mind of mine run amok with insecurities about what I am not , I can look in the mirror and like who I see . '' The selection of Bullock , the oldest woman to receive top honors in the history of the list , is a sign that beauty knows no age , say some . `` Great choice ! Gorgeous , talented , over 50 and FABULOUS ! That 's the way it 's done ! '' wrote one fan on People 's Facebook page . Also making the `` most beautiful '' cut this year : Gabrielle Union , Ariana Grande and Laverne Cox . The issue hits newsstands Friday .
