#WOCMostBeautiful Is A Necessary Reminder About Beauty

Twitter is at it again: Flooding social media with captivating photos and GIFs of actors, models, and entertainers, the #WOCMostBeautiful hashtag is trending for a positive reason. The tag originated after People Magazine named Julia Roberts the 2017 World's Most Beautiful Woman. Yes, she looked beautiful — but her five-time spot on People's cover speaks to the lack of diversity in the magazine's honoree list. Although Halle Berry (2003), Jennifer Lopez (2011), Beyonce (2012) and Lupita Nyong'o (2014) have all landed the cover in the past, there's still a glaring lack of representation of women of color on the magazine's World's Most Beautiful issue cover.

Agreeing that the cover could include more WOC, people took to Twitter to express their frustration with Roberts' recent win. Explore the #WOCMostBeautiful hashtag and you'll find the most diverse group of Twitter-nominated candidates — and seeing them all under one hashtag is pretty inspiring.

The Twitterverse has spoken and the message is loud and clear: beauty standards shouldn't be homogenous, and WOC deserve more representation. Here's hoping the 2018 People World's Most Beautiful honoree represents a woman of color.
