Answer: False

A connotation is a meaning, or a hidden implication that a word has in addition to its dictionary meaning (called denotation). In this case, the word beautiful means something positive, as it describes something aesthetically pleasing, and most people desire to be beautiful. This is also the meaning that the word has in the sentence. Therefore, there is no negative connotation.
