Sexiest
Top 10 Sexiest Women 2011 (FHM 2011)
1. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley — Foxy Model
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the delightful Victoria's Secret model from Plymouth in Devon, is hot. So hot that she's replaced Megan Fox in Transformers 3. It's just like a sexy version of David and Goliath - the up and coming Rosie toppled FHM's former Sexiest Woman In The World, for the very role that made her famous. Technically, Megan Fox left of her own accord, but you know what we're getting at.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has modeled for a wide variety of brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, DKNY and Top Shop. She has even been on the cover of Vogue and done some very amazing things as a Victoria's Secret model, leading us to eagerly anticipate the new VS show each year. On top of a bunch of other modelling commitments she was also in the 2010 Pirelli Calendar shot by Terry Richardson, and was nude cuddling a some sort of sloth to her chest. As you do.
Unfortunately for us, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been linked with all kinds of man-folk. The 23-year-old dated Ronnie Wood's youngest son, Kylie's ex-Oliver Martinez and most recently, the stubbly-faced 'arrd man Jason Statham. But on the plus-side, Rosie made an amazingly sexy video for Agent Provocateur about a boyfriend that forgets Valentines day.
2. Katy Perry — Curiously cute
Sexuality-wise, the jury’s out. Katy Perry kissed a girl. She liked it. And then she faced a barrage of criticism from both stuffy conservatives and a backlash from the gay community. Needless to say their blood would rush to our trousers if we ever caught a glimpse of that – especially as she’s said she has a girl-crush on Scarlett Johansson.
Although such debauchery would probably make her devil-dodging parents explode in a rage bigger than when Russell Brand proposed to her! You cant help but wonder if she’s spent the past 25 years wondering if such thoughts would see her banished to hell (But that is where all the fun people go right?)
Katy Perry's ‘alternate’ style draws attention when she’s not on stage with our personal favorites being her range of PVC mini dresses that cling in all the right places.
Her place as one of pop’s hottest new faces already seems assured. Debut album One Of The Boys sold over a million copies, as did follow-up Teenage Dream and, with saucily attired live performances regularly playing to sell-out crowds, her success shows sign of slowing down. In short, Katy Perry is the 21st Century Britney Spears. Only with more musical attitude, a less conventional look and a healthier mental state.
3. Rihanna — Bajan beauty
If you thought the Caribbean was populated with people who spend their days loafing about drinking rum and eating pineapple, you’re wrong and possibly a bit racist. Rihanna has had four albums in her short career, a string of number ones and sell out world tours.
Her exotic, elfin looks and penchant for wearing PVC cat suits has cemented her place in our hearts. There is also the small matter of Umbrella her dangerously catchy mega hit which left men across the world surreptitiously tapping there feet while nursing erections and flicking between the music channels to catch the bit in the video where she gets water chucked on her.
With 11 million albums sold world wide, and the full might of Jay-Z’s Def Jam records behind her, Rihanna can do no wrong. Woman want to be her and men want be with her... or at least smell her hair in a lift.
4. Megan Fox — Winning Debut
Megan Fox surely can't be human, because there is no woman alive who could have looked as good she did bent over a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro in Transformers. Well, except Rosie Huntington-Whiteley perhaps, who the character of Micheala Banes has transformed into for Michael Bay's big robot epic threequel.
But that doesn't matter because she launched her career out of nowhere and landed at the forefront of every teenage boy's dreams, after two very jiggly performances in Transformers and Transformers 2, so we're sure she can claw her way back to the top.
Aside from her time spent being chased by Hasbro merchandise, Megan has starred in Jennifer's Body - basically an excuse to dress her as a cheerleader and pan over her body. The other thing synonymous with Jennifer's Body was the leaked pictures Megan Fox emerging from a lake, soaking wet with no clothes on and just her nipples covered.
Recently she has appeared in comic book adaptation Jonah Hex, where she plays a gun totting prostitute and has also replaced Victoria Beckham as the body for Armani underwear.
Sadly, this FHM favourite married her long time on/off boyfriend Brian Austin Greene in 2010 at a secret wedding. But forget her marriage, because Megan Fox’s greatest achievement to date has to be her number one slot as FHM Sexiest Woman In The World 2008.
5. Olivia Wilde — Real name: Cockburn
You know who Olivia Wilde is. She’s the girl who sent ratings for The O.C. absolutely batshit when word got out that she was going to rub taste buds with Mischa Barton. And rub them they did, in a showpiece scene that sits alongside Anna Friel’s seminal Brookside snog and Billie Pipers’s enthusiastic Secret Diary of a Call Girl scromping on the podium for best lesbian TV moments ever (we did the research).
6. Brooklyn Decker — Tennis pun, anyone?
What happens in Coyote Ugly again? Girl goes to New York to forge a career as a singer, then ends up dancing on a bar in a wet T-shirt contest? Something like that. And that’s a bit like what happened to Brooklyn Decker, except she successfully auditioned for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, married Andy Roddick and made a guest appearance on Ugly Betty. You go, girl!
Admittedly, Decker had been doing alright for herself before the move to the Big Apple, having been spotted in a shopping mall in Charlotte she was already modelling long before she headed to NY. She even picked up a 'Model of the Year' award in 2003. But then she hit the really big time.
7. Marisa Miller — Bikini queenie
Slightly pervily, perhaps, Marisa Miller was first snapped from afar by top Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino while she was surfing in California in 2001. The blonde clearly made an impression, and she was soon modelling tiny undies for Victoria's Secret and then signing up with Sports Illustrated, where she has become as firm a fixture in their annual Swimsuit issue as the glue that binds it together.
As much as modelling was doing for her, Marisa has been working on developing Marisa Miller the brand. So she launched a shoe line with Vans and became a spokesperson for Harley Davidson. She's a big fan of American Football, and has been in NFL adverts as well as hosting the NFL International Series held over here in London in 2010. She even made a television appearance in How I Met Your Mother as she helped the other Victoria’s Secret Angels work on their brands too. But perhaps the part of her brand that interests us the most is her Guitar Hero: World Tour ad that was too hot to air...
A huge fan of surfing, Marisa also plays volleyball and is into NASCAR and boxing, Welshman Joe Calzhage especially. She’s probably gutted now he’s retired. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, she likes her music loud and screeching: one of her favourite bands is Californian growlers The Deftones and the first album she bought was by Nirvana, while she was even in a Puddle of Mud video. So basically you’ve got a gorgeous lingerie model who likes surfing, sports and loud music. It’s what you’ve been searching for your whole life.
8. Kelly Brook — Kent's finest bra model
Kelly Brook has nipped between modeling gigs to appearances in pop videos and remained loved by Britain. Even women like her, despite the fact she got her tits out for money.
Kelly's darted from presenting (Big Breakfast, MTV, Celebrity Love Island), to movies (School For Seduction, Three), TV acting (Smallville, Marple) and theatre (Calendar Girls, Eye Contact, Fat Pig). And bared her magnificent, 36DD breasts along the way, her finest moment remains – in our opinion – that magnificent topless beach scene in her 2005 film Three/Survival Island (it had a different name abroad).
Kelly Brook certainly milked her popularity with the fellas, having dated mega-movie star Billy Zane, who was in Titanic and erm, documentaries about the Titanic film. She then shacked up with Jason Statham who is now quite annoyingly dating Rosie Huntington-Whiteley too. After that it was egg-chaser Danny Cipriani, who she recently split with. Which meant hi-fives the world over.
FHM regulars will remember the epic beach shoot Kelly did for us in July 2010, with four actual lions (inspired by the World Cup). We chose her as she's modeled everything from underwear to swimwear, which isn't that varied, but she manages to look stunning in every picture, especially her Ultimo lingerie campaign.
Kelly has just finished the deep philosophical mind bender Piranha 3D. Apparently her most challenging scene was an underwater love scene with a porn star. Frankly, we could think of worse days at the office.
9. Nicole Scherzinger — PussyCat Galore
Not the kind of music you might expect from a girl who grew up in Kentucky – where are the banjos? – but this exotic beauty might surprise us yet having tried everything from rock to pop to, most successfully, pulsating r 'n' b. A former winner of the US version of Popstars, Nicole Scherzinger has long seemed destined for the big time, but it was as the leading light in "burlesque" American troupe the Pussycat Dolls that she really made it, thanks in no small part to four minutes of musical sex called Don't Cha. Her signature move is the booty shake, which may just have something to do with her mum, who was once a pro hula dancer.
Having outgrown her lead singer status and branched out solo, she went in search of the ultimate A-list celebrity’s accessory, another A-list celebrity. She found him in the shape of 2008 F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who was obviously just like every other bloke and never channel hopped past a music channel playing a Pussycat Dolls video. In 2010 the F1 Wags rivalry moved a step closer to home as Jenson Button brought Jessica Michibata in to the McLaren garage, but so far the pair have failed to scrap. Sadly.
Her solo career didn’t take off at quite the same speed though, with her debut album Her Name is Nicole being shelved after numerous delays. Still, you can’t keep a good cat down, and Scherzinger confirmed in 2010 that she was working on another solo album for release in 2011.
10. Irina Shayk — Well Illustrated
It always seems strange to think of how some of these supermodels started out; for Irina Shayk it was a beauty pageant in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. Modelling wasn’t some kind of first love for Irina though – she wanted to be a teacher of literature as a child because she liked making up stories and reading. What a waste of talent it would have been if she only ever stood up in front of a class of schoolkids.
Pushed on by her mum’s influence she went to a music school for seven years, and then started studying marketing at college but found it really boring so enrolled in a beauty school with her sister. In a twist of fate, next door to the school was a local modelling agency (convenient), and a scout noticed Irina, telling her to enter Miss Chelyabinsk 2004. She won, drew the attention of more scouts and within a year was modelling in Paris.
She started learning English and then started taking the modelling world by storm. In 2007 she became the face of Intimissimi lingerie, and also found herself appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition; a tradition she has continued for every year since, eventually winding up on the cover of the 2011 issue. Seeing as this section is called “Why we love Irina Shayk” we can categorically state that it’s because of her immense hotness and has got absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she’s going out with Cristiano Ronaldo. Nobody’s perfect.
