LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Sandra Bullock was named the World s Most Beautiful Woman for 2015 by People magazine Wednesday, following in the footsteps of Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts and last year s Lupita Nyong o.

The 50-year-old Oscar winner, a Hollywood veteran known for her self-deprecating humor, said she initially thought the magazine s honor was "ridiculous."

"Real beauty is quiet, especially in this town," she told People.

It was more important to "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," she added.

"The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren t trying," she told the magazine, adding that when told about the award "I just said,  That s ridiculous. "

Bullock won a best leading actress Oscar in 2010 for "The Blind Side" -- the same year she was crowned top of the flops at the Razzies for her role in the box office bust "All About Steve."

In a rare but popular move, she actually turned up to collect her trophy at the annual eve-of-Oscars spoof which pays homage to the very worst of Hollywood.

Other past winners of People magazine s Most Beautiful awards include Cindy Crawford, Mel Gibson and Leonardo DiCaprio.
