I have a question regarding the “beautiful woman” of the Iliad?

Achilles had to decide which of the girls he could grant the most beauty in the world too. I forgot some of the girls except Aphrodite. Aphrodite said if Achilles makes her the most beautiful woman in the world that she would give Achilles the most beautiful woman in the world. She decides to give her Helen (the most beautiful of them all).

This is the part I don’t get. If Aphrodite is being granted the most beautiful woman in the world, shouldn’t she give herself to Achilles? I mean if she becomes the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen no longer can hold that title right?
