We are lucky to live in a world without a shortage of beautiful women — Hollywood is full of them!

Many online lists compile the “Top 10” or “Top 25” hottest women, but many seem outdated — composed entirely of celebrities who stopped being relevant in 2005 — or are completely subjective.

That makes our list of the hottest and sexiest celebrity women in the world slightly different. Spoiler alert: it’s based on more than just their looks.

We’ve used definitive data to pick the women on this list, such as how many Instagram followers they have, their critical acclaim, how often their names are Googled, and the number of times their names have appeared in social media posts.

In no particular order, here is our definitive list of the 30 hottest and sexiest celebrity women in the world right now.

1. Shakira: The Colombian Sensation Who Tops Search Trends

Pop star Shakira’s hips don’t lie — and neither do the people Googling her name, and there are millions of them!

Shakira took the top spot in 2020, becoming the celebrity that appeared most frequently in Google searches, and based on the metrics, her fans show no signs of slowing down.

In 2021, her song “She Wolf” went viral on TikTok, which could have helped contribute to her insane number of searches.

The Colombian singer has frequently been referred to as “The Queen of Latin Music,” but her music is popular all over the world, with hits such as “Whenever, Wherever” and “Underneath Your Clothes.”

With a gorgeous mane of hair, killer dance moves, and infectious upbeat attitude, it’s no surprise that Shakira made this list.

2. Gal Gadot: From Beauty Queen to Blockbuster Icon

Somewhat of a newcomer, Israeli-born Gal Gadot has stolen hearts across the globe.

Though she might be best known now for her role as Wonder Woman in the Avengers franchise, Gadot has since been in notable titles such as Red Notice, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and Between Two Ferns: The Movie.

Before Gal Gadot got into acting, she was a model and beauty pageant queen, being crowned Miss Israel in 2004.

Her gorgeous looks, beautiful smile, and charming accent make it no wonder that she has become one of the most-followed people on Instagram, making the list of the top 50 accounts with the most followers.

3. Madelyn Cline: America’s Sweetheart and Rising Star

The Stranger Things actress got her big break when she was cast as Sarah Cameron in the television show Outer Banks.

The show became a smash hit, with Madelyn Cline being especially praised for her performance. Fans became enamored with Cline’s soft-spoken character and her beautiful “girl next door” appearance.

After the second season of Outer Banks premiered this summer, Google searches for Madelyn Cline’s name began to skyrocket, no doubt a testament to how much she has charmed fans across the globe.

4. Selena Gomez: The Multi-Talented Artist with a Global Following

Selena Gomez may have gotten her start on the Disney channel, but since then, she has absolutely dominated in all aspects of her career.

The gorgeous actress-singer has since appeared in notable titles such as The Dead Don’t Die, Hotel Transylvania, and Only Murders in the Building.

Not to mention her prolific music career, as she has had multiple songs on the US Billboard Hot 100 list, including “Come & Get It,” “The Heart Wants What It Wants,” and “Good for You.”

Now, Gomez has been trying her hand behind the screen, gaining producer credits on a number of movies and television shows.

For years, Selena Gomez was the most followed person on Instagram. She has since dropped a bit on the list, coming in at number seven, but that’s still nothing to sneeze at as the actress-singer has 430 million followers — a testament to her beauty and popularity.

5. Addison Rae Easterling: Social Media Darling Turned Celebrity

We would be remiss to ignore one of the most popular (and beautiful!) young women to reach the public eye in the last few years.

23-year-old Addison Rae Easterling, known simply as Addison Rae, is a bonafide social media star and has amassed a gargantuan following of 88 million on the app.

Though she started doing dance trends in front of her phone camera, Easterling has since ventured into a music career, releasing her first single, “Obsessed,” in 2021 and hitting the big screen in He’s All That, a gender-flipped remake of the 1999 original.

With 36 million Instagram followers and twice that on TikTok, Addison Rae Easterling is hot and a hot topic.

6. Kendall Jenner: Fashion’s Darling and Social Media Powerhouse

The tallest Kardashian-Jenner sister may have first gained notoriety due to her famous family, the Kardashians, but Kendall Jenner has managed to carve out a space for herself.

In 2017, Jenner clinched the honor of being named the highest-paid model in the world by Forbes magazine, taking the title from 14-time-winner Gisele Bündchen.

Now, Jenner is #12 on the list of most-followed Instagram accounts, and it is understandable why when you consider her long, dark hair and toned model physique.

She may not look exactly like the rest of her sisters, but in the long run, it was the reason for her success.

7. Beyoncé: The Timeless Icon of Music and Culture

Is it even really a “Hottest Women in the World” list if it doesn’t feature Queen Bey herself? The 42-year-old songstress is one of the best-selling and highest-paid recording artists of all time.

Even if you aren’t a Beyoncé fan, you probably know all the words to a handful of songs, like “Single Ladies” or “Savage” with Megan Thee Stallion.

Beyoncé does more than just make fantastic songs to dance to — she is a true multi-hyphenate as a singer, actress, dancer, songwriter, producer, dancer, director, and businesswoman.

The pop star’s influence can be seen in nearly every corner of pop culture, earning her a spot on Time magazine’s list of 100 women who have defined the last century.

Due to this multihyphenate’s overwhelming success and recent ad campaign for Tiffany & Co. alongside her husband, rapper Jay-Z, Beyoncé’s name has been mentioned more times on social media than almost every other woman on this list (trailing just behind Megan Fox and Olivia Rodrigo) and has been featured on many “hot” lists — for good reason!

8. Phoebe Dynevor: Bridgerton’s Breakout Star Captivating Audiences

After the release of the smash-hit Netflix show Bridgerton, Google searched for the star actress’s name, Phoebe Dynevor, and shot into the millions overnight.

The 28-year-old Brit has worked on a number of BBC projects but finally came into notoriety for her role as Daphne Bridgerton.

Even more, Dynevor was linked to none other than comedy’s playboy, Pete Davidson, which piqued the public’s interest.

Phoebe Dynevor’s soft-spoken acting style, perfect skin, and red hair are all reasons that she has become one of the most frequently mentioned names on Twitter. We can’t wait to see what this beauty has in store!

9. Scarlett Johansson: Hollywood’s Enduring Symbol of Glamour

ScarJo has become a mainstay in online “Hottest Celebrities” lists since her acting debut in 1994.

The gorgeous 39-year-old has hardly aged a day and has been featured multiple times on Forbes magazine’s Celebrity 100 list.

Though Scarlett Johansson has become one of the most recognizable sex symbols of our time, compared to a modern-day Marilyn Monroe, she is so much more than that.

The Academy Award nominee has shown fans that she has talent and drive but still remains a truly good person as she supports several charitable causes regularly.

10. Rihanna: The Music and Fashion Mogul Redefining Sexy

Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, the Barbados-born popstar has sold over 250 million records across the world, earning herself the title of being one of the top-selling musical artists of all time.

Though Rihanna hasn’t put out new music lately — much to the chagrin of her fans — she has dived headfirst into the world of makeup and skincare with her brand, Fenty Beauty, which has found great success.

She also ventured into lingerie with her brand, Savage X Fenty, which Rihanna said was created to help other women feel as sexy as she does.

Rihanna’s easygoing, devil-may-care attitude, paired with her beautiful face, gorgeous physique, and smooth-as-honey voice, easily makes her one of the hottest women in the world.

Now, the pop star has millions of devoted fans who are constantly Googling her name, mentioning her on Twitter, and posting about her online.

11. Olivia Rodrigo: Teen Sensation and Social Media Phenomenon

Another Disney star, Filipino-American Olivia Rodrigo, took the world by storm in 2021.

Olivia Rodrigo’s foray into music with her debut album Sour earned her seven Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.

Her music is constantly trending on TikTok, making her one of the most frequently mentioned celebrities on social media. Although she may be young, Olivia Rodrigo’s impressive career has taken off very quickly.

It’s not just her music that is trending, either — fans of all genders can be seen fawning over Rodrigo’s relatable attitude and how gorgeous she is.

With millions of Google searches, Olivia Rodrigo is one of the most — if not the most- searched celebrities of the year, earning her a spot on this list.

12. Megan Fox: The Everlasting Symbol of Hollywood Seduction

Another frequent feature on similar lists is none other than the super sexy (or should I say… foxy?) Megan Fox. The 37-year-old actress is the epitome of early 2000s sex appeal, even now, as she has aged like the finest of wines.

Despite not appearing in many notable titles in 2021, her name appeared in millions of Google searches, and she is one of the top ten most-mentioned celebrities on Twitter.

If you’re not sure why, we can give you a definitive answer: it has everything to do with a certain scraggly musician. In 2021, the most unexpected couple was Megan Fox and her rapper beau Machine Gun Kelly.

Fans were shocked to see such an unlikely pairing, and they have frequently been the butt of jokes on Twitter, especially after their strange joint interview with GQ Magazine and the cringeworthy Instagram post that followed.

You know what? We can’t blame her for acting a bit odd when she’s in love. If she’s happy, we’re happy — it’s Megan Fox, after all! She’s still hot!

13. Lupita Nyong’o: Celebrated for Talent and Timeless Beauty

Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o is currently one of the most celebrated actresses in the world. She has been nominated for and won several prestigious awards, such as the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Her beauty and influence cannot be argued with, as she was named the most beautiful woman by People magazine in 2014 and was listed in Forbes magazine’s list of “50 Most Powerful Women”.

Lupita is not among the most-followed people on Instagram (she “only” has 11 million followers), nor is she the most Googled.

However, she is the most critically acclaimed actress on this list, has featured in several lists of beautiful people from reputable organizations — not just “ranking” websites — and is second only to Scarlett Johansson.

Better yet, Lupita Nyong’o is an activist who is vocal about a number of causes, such as women’s rights, animal rights, sexual harassment prevention, and her support for the preservation of historical landmarks.

Her work with organizations to make the world a better place more than earns her a spot on this list, as she is beautiful on the inside and outside.

14. Billie Eilish: Young Music Prodigy and Fashion Icon

Yet another songstress, Billie Eilish, has managed to become one of the highest-selling musical artists and was even named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2021 — all at the young age of nineteen!

When Eilish was still performing as a minor, she became well known for her baggy, shapeless style of clothes and being outspoken about the way she was sexualized despite still being a child.

Eilish had become a hot topic multiple times when photographers managed to catch a glimpse of her body, but it was after her pin-up-inspired Vogue cover, she truly broke the internet.

Now, Billie Eilish has seemingly become more comfortable with her body and the attention it brings.

As a result, her name has been frequently mentioned on social media and Google searches as some variation of “Billie Eilish hot,” “Billie Eilish sexy,” or “Billie Eilish boobs.”

Undoubtedly, the singer is drop-dead gorgeous, but we hope all the attention doesn’t get to be too much for her!

15. Ariana Grande: The Pop Sensation with a Signature Style

29-year-old global pop star Ariana Grande began her career at a young age, first starring in the Broadway musical 13 before rising to global fame for her role as the charming Cat Valentine in Victorious.

Now, Grande is a bonafide international sensation, selling more than 85 million records worldwide, with each of her albums becoming certified platinum or higher.

Ariana Grande is drop-dead gorgeous with a voice to match, and while she may frequently appear in the tabloids for numerous reasons, it is obvious that the public can’t stop thinking about her.

16. Margot Robbie: The Epitome of Hollywood Glamour

32-year-old Margot Robbie is one of the most stunning women in Hollywood. It is an irrefutable fact when you consider how frequently her name is Googled (it’s a lot) and how many forums are dedicated to discussing which of her movies she looks sexiest in.

Though the Australian-born actress has been in a number of projects, her big break came as she acted alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Since then, Margot Robbie has gone on to appear in a number of titles, such as The Legend of Tarzan, Birds of Prey, and I, Tonya, the latter of which she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

17. Bella Poarch: TikTok Sensation and Rising Music Star

Another social media star, 26-year-old Bella Poarch, is a Filipina-American TikToker who broke the record for the most-liked TikTok video on August 17, 2020, for lip-syncing a song and looking cute — that’s right, she didn’t even sing, just made cute faces.

Since then, Bella Poarch has amassed over 93 million followers on the platform and has signed a record deal with Warner Records, releasing her first single, “Build a Bitch”, in 2021.

18. Peyton List: Disney Star Turned Hollywood Sensation

If you aren’t an avid television watcher, this 25-year-old actress’s name may not be familiar to you, but make no mistake: The internet has gone absolutely bonkers for Peyton List.

You may recognize her from her days on the Disney Channel, starring in Jessie and its spinoff, Bunk’d.

Since then, Peyton List has tried to do what many other Disney Channel alumni have done and shake off the innocent DCOM persona, appearing in films like Remember Me, Something Borrowed, Valley Girl, and Paper Spiders.

Peyton List is beloved among her fans, and this gorgeous young actress will be one to watch during the coming years.

19. Cardi B: From Stripping to Stardom – A Rags to Riches Tale

The rapid rise to fame of 31-year-old rapper-actress Cardi B is remarkable. In a short span, she has established herself as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, achieving widespread fame and recognition for her unique talent and dynamic personality.

She first found fame on Instagram and Vine when viewers couldn’t get enough of her hilarious takes on life, romance, and her experiences working as a stripper.

Since then, Cardi B has released multiple triple-platinum albums and singles, becoming one of the best-selling musicians in the 2010s. She has also made her way onto the silver screen, appearing alongside Jennifer Lopez in Hustlers. And yes, she’s hot!

20. Alexandra Daddario: The Internet’s Favorite Screen Siren

If you’ve ever scrolled too long on Reddit, you’ve heard of Alexandra Daddario — even if you’ve never seen any of her movies.

76-year-old Daddario is best known for her portrayal of Annabeth Chase in the live-action Percy Jackson films based on the best-selling novels.

She has gone on to appear in titles such as It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The White Lotus, and American Horror Story: Hotel but has not been the most active celebrity on this list.

Despite Alexandra Daddario’s less-than-frequent hot projects, she is a very hot topic based on her looks alone, as fans online consistently objectify the actress and applaud her well-endowed curves.

On the bright side, they seem to like more than just her body; they think she’s a great actress, too!

21. Loren Gray Beech: The TikTok Phenomenon Making Waves

Better known by her TikTok handle, 21-year-old Loren Gray is a truly stunning young woman.

She boasts a following of 54.5 million on TikTok at the time of writing and frequently receives hundreds of thousands of views on each short video she posts on the platform.

22. HoYeon Jung: Squid Game’s Rising Star with Global Appeal

South Korean model and actress took the world by storm at the end of 2021 for her beloved role as Kang Sae-byeok in the incendiary Netflix K-drama Squid Game.

The actress is absolutely gorgeous, catching the eyes and affection of fans across the world, even when her on-screen counterpart was often dirty, bloody, and wore only the same boring tracksuit as the rest of the cast.

Fans consider model HoYeon Jung one of the hottest actresses today following her debut in the survival drama seriesFans consider model HoYeon Jung one of the hottest actresses today following her debut in the survival drama series (Credit: Ovidiu Hrubaru / Shutterstock)

Searches for the 29-year-old model skyrocketed (as did her Instagram followers), which led to HoYeon Jung securing the gig of being a global brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton in October 2021.

Her popularity will surely lead to more roles for this actress, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.

23. Emma Watson: The Intellectual Beauty of Hollywood

Another mainstay on lists like these, it is impossible not to mention Emma Watson’s name when discussing the hottest women in the world.

Emma Watson appeared in the 2019 remake of Little Women as sensible sister Meg March, and though the film (and its cast) received numerous accolades, Watson has not been featured in another film since.

However, she did appear as herself in HBO Max’s Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, reigniting the public’s love and interest in the actress.

24. Bella Hadid: The Fashion World’s Enigmatic Muse

The second Bella on our list, Bella Hadid, is a 27-year-old model who has taken the fashion world by storm.

Like Kendall Jenner, nepotism certainly played a part, but Bella Hadid has earned her right on the catwalk and has become one of the most highly paid and sought-after models in the world.

From appearing in magazine covers to walking major runways around the world, Bella Hadid is no doubt one of the hottest women todayFrom appearing on magazine covers to walking major runways around the world, Bella Hadid is no doubt one of the hottest women today (Credit: BAKOUNINE / Shutterstock)

Though her sister and fellow model Gigi Hadid became more famous first (especially when she became involved with former One Direction member Zayn Malik), Bella’s unique, statuesque look eventually helped her become more popular than her sister’s blonde, tanned, stereotypical swimsuit model style.

Nowadays, Bella Hadid is everywhere — tabloids, billboards, magazines, galas, and yes, Google searches. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also inescapable, rightfully earning her a spot on this list.

25. Kylie Jenner: The Ultimate Social Media and Beauty Mogul

Whether you’re basing “hot lists” on looks or popularity, there is no way to ignore the number one most-followed woman on Instagram, with a gargantuan 399 million followers. That’s right — Miss Kylie Jenner.

Whether you love her or hate her, the polarizing 26-year-old beauty mogul is a social media tour-de-force, occupying nearly every corner of the internet.

She has been cited as one of the most influential celebrities in the world by Forbes and the New York Post, which makes sense considering that her every move is closely followed by (almost) everyone in the world.

Kylie Jenner has had more than her fair share of scandals, but there is no denying that she is, indeed, very hot right now.

26. Hailee Steinfeld: Child Star Turned Multi-Talented Artist

Like a number of the other women on this list, Hailee Steinfeld is a child star who went on to do big things.

After her breakout role as the young Mattie Ross in the 2010 remake of True Grit, Steinfeld received accolades for her performance that set the stage for the rest of her career.

Since then, the 27-year-old actress has starred in films like Ender’s Game, Romeo & Juliet, The Edge of Seventeen, and the Pitch Perfect film franchise.

Not only is Hailee Steinfeld an accomplished actress, she also is a talented musician. After the success of the Pitch Perfect films, Steinfeld went on to debut with her first single, “Love Myself,” and has since released two EPs.

27. Natalie Portman: The Harvard-Educated Hollywood Powerhouse

You would be a fool not to admit that Natalie Portman isn’t hot in every sense of the word.

The 42-year-old actress is one of the most intriguing in Hollywood, as she began her acting career at the tender age of 12 with Léon: The Professional before going on to perform on Broadway.

Then, Portman took a detour to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from the illustrious Harvard University.

Since then, Natalie Portman has received an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Black Swan and two Golden Globe Awards. Portman is a staunch activist in her free time, advocating for animal rights, the environment, and political relations between the United States and Israel.

28. Ana de Armas: Hollywood’s New Leading Lady with Global Appeal

This Cuban actress is one of the hottest names in Hollywood right now. Ana de Armas has taken the silver screen by storm, starring in huge blockbusters like Blade Runner 2049, Knives Out, No Time to Die, The Gray Man, and portrayed Marilyn Monroe in Blonde.

Her role as Marilyn Monroe garnered serious buzz, making her one of the most Googled names when the film was released in 2022, despite the scandal that later surrounded the film due to its portrayal of sensitive topics in Monroe’s life.

The British actress has been in several other titles, including Suspiria and Nymphomaniac, but it is her personal life that is often in the news. Despite leading a rather private life, Mia Goth’s relationship with actor Shia LaBeouf has often been scrutinized due to prior allegations of abuse towards LaBeouf. Mia Goth has not publicly addressed these allegations, but they frequently appear in the media. The two have one child together.
