Demi Moore may not have taken home the award for best actress at this year's Academy Awards, but she didn't let that stop her from having a "beautiful" time.

Speaking to People as its World's Most Beautiful cover star, Moore detailed how she was finally able to relax the day after the Oscars, even after being passed up for best actress. She was nominated for her part in the acclaimed horror film The Substance, a role that earned her several of the first major acting awards in her career. However, when it came to the 2025 Oscars in March, Anora's Mikey Madison received the coveted honor.

Moore, who previously congratulated Madison on her win, laughed as she recalled spending the entire day in her pajamas for a restful end to awards season.

"I think I was in them all day," she said. "I think the level of exhaustion from that day [before] starting at 6 a.m., I was just so happy to kind of sleep in, knowing I had nowhere to be. It was just a beautiful, easy day."

The Ghost star also compared the filming process and the movie's reception to another major life event.

"As somebody put it to me, it's been like a full pregnancy — really joyous moments, exhausting moments," she said. "But overall it was an extraordinary time and experience. Especially because all of it was unexpected. I had no idea what might happen with this film. And I certainly could never have imagined it unfolding the way it did."

She has a personal connection to the metaphor as she has three children of her own, daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31, that she shares with ex-husband Bruce Willis.
