Most beautiful is the form you will usually encounter. But like all English adjectives, beautiful naturally takes the comparative in -er and the superlative in -est: beautifullest. For the last few hundred years, roughly since Shakespeare's time, learnèd grammarians and other even less qualified critics have created a "rule" that some adjectives, particularly polysyllabic ones of foreign origin, "sound better" using the Frenchified form of the comparative and superlative in more and most, respectively. The "rule" is non-binding.
