The ladies of “The View” were all smiles, acceptance and praise for Caitlyn Jenner on Tuesday, 24 hours removed from her secret Vanity Fair cover release.

“I was so proud to be at this moment in the world, so accepting,” guest host Molly Sims kicked off the first discussion of the day.

“She looks amazing … incredible,” Sims also stated, adding, “I want the corset.”

“I thought she looked beautiful,” fellow guest host Raven Symoné offered. “She’s going to give power to a lot of people in the community that need that, and she knows it, and she’s working her stuff.”

“She’s a hot woman,” the former “That’s So Raven” star added.

Regular co-host Rosie Perez called the former Bruce Jenner’s coming-out cover “brave,” but she also wanted to show love and respect to previous transgender pioneers, reminding viewers of the Laverne Cox Time magazine cover last year.

“I was annoyed when Bruce looked better than me as a man, so now I’m really pissed as hell,” Whoopi Goldberg told her ABC audience. “Caitlyn is still cuter than me.”

“Listen, I’m thrilled for her,” the Oscar winner continued. “This is something that has been part of her life — the secret of her life — and now she’s free. God bless you, honey. God bless you.”
