People en Español’s 25 or 50 Most Beautiful People?

People en Español’s hottest and most anticipated issue the “25 Most Beautiful” will be twice the size this year. Now called the “50 Most Beautiful,” this top-selling annual edition debuts on May 3 and features 50 of today’s hottest Hispanic entertainers including Lopez, Dawson, Hayek, Smits, Daisy Fuentes, Carlos Ponce, Carolina Herrera, Ricky Martin, Amelia Vega, Soledad O’Brien, and Mark Consuelos, among others. For the first time ever, the magazine will make history by featuring eight of today’s rising stars on its cover. Gracing the spectacular gatefold are Michelle Rodriguez, Nicholas Gonzalez, Roselyn Sanchez, Eduardo Verastegui, Myrka Dellanos, Luis Fonsi, Barbara Mori and Juan Soler.

With 204 pages of exclusive celebrity interviews and fashion-forward photography, the sexier, sleeker “50 Most Beautiful” issue transcends the language barrier, making it a “must-have” for all consumers who are inspired by celebrity, beauty and fashion, and the “It Factor.”

“My goal was to deliver the single most beautiful magazine in the history of Spanish-language media,” says Richard Pérez-Feria, editor of People en Español. “I feel confident that our readers will embrace and celebrate the exceptional beauty featured in this issue.”

Also accompanying the issue’s debut is a two-hour behind-the-scenes TV special airing on Sunday, May 2 on the Telemundo network. Now in its second year, the special will unveil the complete list of “beauties” and feature photo shoots and exclusive interviews.

On Wednesday, May 19, the “50 Most Beautiful” issue will come to life at the 3rd annual celebrity gala at Splashlight Studios in New York City. The evening will feature red carpet arrivals and a musical performance by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi. The event is being sponsored by American Airlines, Johnnie Walker, Matrix and Maybelline.
