Topping the list of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People is 29-year-old actress Kate Hudson. The Oscar nominee, who was raised with three brothers, managed to hang on to her femininity in her testosterone-charged household. "I was a tomboy," says Hudson, "I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises -- but I was always very girly."

The Hollywood sweetheart, daughter of Goldie Hawn and mother of 4-year-old son Ryder also reveals her best look -- which appears "at the end of the night, when everything is soaked in and I'm still up," she says. "I like the leftover makeup in the morning. You've got to wash your face but there's always the leftover eye makeup, I love that."

Hudson also opens up about her favorite body part, losing 60 pounds after giving birth to her son, and talks about on-and-off boyfriend Owen Wilson.
