Fads and trends may wax and wane, but classic beauty never goes out of style—look no further than this year’s Hot 100 leader, Paige Spiranac.

That’s always been one of our guiding principles here at Maxim; and while you may encounter some new names, our annual Hot 100 portfolio remains a celebration of timeless attraction and enchantment. Yet these are no mere pretty faces, for the women on this list are as accomplished as they are celebrated. From movie stars and musicians to athletes and influencers, these paragons of pulchritude are as hot as it gets. Read on and try not to burn your eyes…

Hollywood Heartbreakers

Megan Fox (@meganfox)

Famous for her all-American good looks and sex-symbol status, the outspoken 36-year old actress has been making headlines lately thanks to her unconventional relationship with rapper Machine Gun Kelly. The odd couple even stars in a new movie together titled Good Mourning.

Ana de Armas (@ana_d_armas)

If you weren’t aware that this girl’s on fire, her Bond girl performance in No Time to Die no doubt got your attention. Recently caught steaming things up on and off screen with Ben Affleck in Deep Water, this Cuban-born chica will test her star status as Marilyn Monroe for Netflix’s Blonde later this year.

Zendaya (@zendaya)

The star of Euphoria, for which she earned an Outstanding Lead Actress Emmy Award at age 24, Zendaya is the biggest celeb of her generation. Along the way she played MJ in the Spider-Man franchise, and starred opposite Timothée Chalamet in Dune. Already with a whopping 137 million Insta followers, that number will rise with the Dune sequel already in the works.

Adria Arjona (@adriaarjona)

You saw her earlier this year as Martine Bancroft, vampiric girlfriend to Jared Leto in Morbius. But you might remember her from Pacific Rim: Uprising. And you can also catch her in a Latinx remake of the Liz Taylor classic, Father of the Bride.

Zoë Kravitz (@zoeisabellakravitz)

Daughter of rocker Lenny Kraviz and actor Lisa Bonet, Zoë is best known as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman in last spring’s hit, The Batman, a hard-won breakout after years of lesser roles in movies like X-Men: First Class, Divergent and Mad Max: Fury Road.

Laura Harrier (@lauraharrier)

It was just a matter of time before this former model found her way from fashion ads to the big screen. Peter Parker pined for her in Spider-Man: Homecoming, then she was wooed by John David Washington in BlacKkKlansman. But can she stand up to heavyweight champ Mike Tyson? Find out next year when she stars as Robin Givens.

Phoebe Tonkin (@phoebejtonkin)

This Chanel brand ambassador first began acting in her native Australia, starring in the alien invasion saga Tomorrow, When the War Began. But you probably know her as Hayley Marshall in The CW series The Vampire Diaries and its spinoff series, The Originals.

Alexa Demie (@alexademie)

Her character Maddy Perez may be a confident, witty teen in Euphoria, but Alexa’s that way in real life, too, which accounts for her 10.9 million Insta followers. Growing up around trauma primed her for her role on the show in which she’s stuck in a relationship with a psychopathic football player.

Emilia Jones (@emiliajonesy)

She was best known for the Netflix thriller, Locke & Key, but all that changed the night of the Oscars when her little indie film CODA took home the Oscar for Best Picture. Next up is the indie thriller, Cat Person, in which she plays a college sophomore in a relationship with an older man.

Simone Ashley (@simoneasshley)

Burning it up with Jonathan Bailey on this season’s Bridgerton, this Brit-born actress of Indian descent is redefining what leading ladies look like. Yes, she has Netflix’s Sex Education on her resume, which means she knows her birds from her bees, leaving lessons on fish and seas for 2023’s live-action The Little Mermaid.

Julia Fox @juliafox

Not just Kanye’s rebound after his split with Kim Kardashian, Julia Fox has forged a neat little career for herself, appearing in the Adam Sandler film, Uncut Gems, and more recently working with Steven Soderbergh on No Sudden Move. Look for her next year in The Trainer, a comedy about the American dream.

Rachel Zegler (@rachelzegler)

She only beat out more than 30,000 applicants for the role of María in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. Marking her screen debut, last season’s ecstatic remake of the 1961 classic earned the beauty with the flashing eyes a Golden Globe. Later this year she’ll appear in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and then she takes on iconic princess Snow White in Disney’s upcoming live-action remake.

Hoyeon Jung (@hoooooyeony)

Netflix’s biggest hit of 2021, Squid Game earned Hoyeon a Screen Actors Guild Award for her stoic performance. Next up is Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple TV+ series, Disclaimer starring Cate Blanchett, Sacha Baron Cohen and Kevin Kline. Not bad for this South Korean newcomer. No doubt her 23.8 million Insta followers would agree. 

Lily James (@lilyjamesofficial)

She wowed as Pamela Anderson in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, big cups to fill indeed, but the star of Cinderella and Downton Abbey had no compunction about donning prosthetics for the show. Bonus points for nonchalantly riding shotgun with wheelman Ansel Elgort in the modern car chase classic, Baby Driver. 

Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney)

In addition to 12.1 million followers on Insta, Sydney has the most astute grandparents in the business. When she invited them to the premiere of her hit show, Euphoria, they reportedly took one look at her nude scenes and told her, “You have the best tits in Hollywood.”

Madelyn Cline (@madelyncline)

You know her as queen bee Sarah Cameron on Netflix’s Outer Banks, but she’s about to bump it up to the big screen when the Knives Out sequel comes out later this year, which will no doubt boost her 12.4 million Insta followers by another million or so. 

Fashion Legends 

Barbara Palvin (@realbarbarapalvin)

Though she’s retired her Victoria’s Secret wings alongside all of the other Angels, the former Maxim cover star is busier than ever, walking in runway shows, gracing the glossy covers of numerous magazines, and shooting campaigns for brands like Alo Yoga and Armani Beauty.

Cara Delevingne (@caradelevingne)

The modeling world’s wild child Cara Delevingne is proving herself to be a force to be reckoned with in other industries as well, having launched her own prosecco brand called Della Vite alongside her sisters. Plus, she recently joined the cast of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building for its second season.

Alessandra Ambrosio (@alessandraambrosio)

Alessandra Ambrosio, one of the most iconic Victoria’s Secret Angels of all time, spent 17 years of her career modeling sexy lingerie, only to retire her wings in 2017. Since then, the former Maxim cover girl has modeled for brands including SKIMS and Alexander Wang, while working on her own swimwear brand GAL Floripa.

Elsa Hosk (@hoskelsa)

Even after welcoming her first child last year, the Swedish stunner and former Maxim cover star is showing no signs of slowing down. She continues to rock the fashion industry, signing deals and shooting campaigns for brands like Valentino, and has collaborated with makeup brand Beaubble for her own collection of products.

Hailey Bieber (@haileybieber)

Thanks to her sweet smile, sultry gaze, and understated elegance, the lovely Hailey Bieber is an ode to sophistication with beauty that’s almost too good to be true. The former Maxim Hot 100 winner and Maxim cover star also just launched her own skincare brand called Rhode.

Lily Aldridge (@lilyaldridge)

With her wide brown eyes, long lashes, and killer physique to boot, the California-born former Maxim cover star and former Victoria’s Secret Angel made a name for herself at the top of the modeling hierarchy, and is known as one of the most memorable personalities of the modeling world.

Joan Smalls (@joansmalls)

If modeling was an Olympic sport, this Puerto Rican supermodel would take home the gold. With her mile-long legs, she’s been strutting her stuff on the runway for major labels including Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty lingerie line and Off-White. What’s more, she also has her own online donation platform called Donate My Wage.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (@rosiehw)

A veteran of the modeling industry, time seems to stand still for the aristocratic, fresh-faced 35-year old English beauty, a former Maxim Hot 100 winner and cover star who somehow looks even more beautiful and radiant than the day she first started modeling

Martha Hunt (@marthahunt)

The North Carolina-born all-American bombshell is best known for being a former Victoria’s Secret Angel, and for good reason. With looks as radiant and jaw-dropping as hers, it’s no wonder this former Maxim cover model has become one of the lingerie giant’s most iconic faces.

Icons & Megastars 

Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj)

The preeminent Queen of rap kicked off the first half of 2022 with a slew of four singles that appeared immediately on Billboard charts upon release, the latest being “We Go Up” featuring Fivio Foreign. But the ten-time Grammy nominee’s biggest power move of the year came in May, when she was announced as Maxim’s Creative Director. Being a perennial force in pop culture and Instagram’s most-followed rapper, Minaj’s brand and influence are a perfect fit for the world’s leading luxury lifestyle magazine.

Ariana Grande (@arianagrande)

She’s the recipient of two Grammy Awards, two Billboard Music Awards and 20 Guinness World Records titles for a career that seems to expand as fast as her followers on Insta, now numbering 305 million. Ariana’s film work has been mainly cameos with the exception of last year’s Oscar-nominated Don’t Look Up, for which she sang “Just Look Up” with Kid Cudi.

Jennifer Lopez (@jlo)

Just because she’s reunited with Ben Affleck doesn’t mean the rest of us aren’t still yearning for the 53-year-old pop star. She’s sold more than 80 million records in her lifetime, a number that pales in comparison with her 203 million Insta followers. Even after many years in showbiz, her 2011 hit, “On the Floor” was declared “Highest Viewed Female Music Video of All Time” by Guinness World Records in 2012.

Kendall Jenner (@kendalljenner)

She’s been modeling since she was 14, quickly becoming brand ambassador for Estée Lauder and landing covers for Vanity Fair, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Condolences to supermodel Gisele Bündchen, but Kendall blew past her in 2017, becoming the world’s highest paid model, according to Forbes, and garnering 230 million Insta followers in the process.

Rihanna (@badgalriri)

With record sales numbering more than 250 million worldwide, including 14 number-ones on Billboard’s Hot 100, and a whopping nine Grammys, Rihanna is adored by 126 million Insta followers. With a net worth of $1.7 billion thanks largely to her Fenty Beauty and Fenty X Savage brands, she became even more glam when announcing the birth of her first child with A$AP Rocky.

Kylie Jenner (@kyliejenner)

Yes, she’s with Travis Scott and yes, they have a new baby, but that doesn’t mean she’s not into you… in your dreams! She started Kendall + Kylie clothing line with her sister, and started Kylie Cosmetics on her own. And being the most followed woman on Insta with 327 million, she has more customers than you can count.

Selena Gomez (@selenagomez)

Many of us first saw Selena when she was but a girl on the Disney Channel. Since then she’s grown up to be the double-threat actor/ singer who captured the hearts of Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber, the Weeknd and 312 million Insta followers. Now her accolades include being named Billboard’s Woman of the Year, MTV Video Music Awards, a SAG and Grammy nomination.

Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)

Country-pop crossover, indie folk, alternative rock—is there anything Taylor can’t do? Winner of a whopping 11 Grammy Awards, nobody beats her, just ask her 206 million Insta followers. The stunner’s former beaus are a who’s who of entertainment including Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eddie Redmayne, Zac Efron, Harry Styles and Tom Hiddleston, plus she’s a former Maxim Hot 100 leader and cover star.

Gal Gadot (@gal_gadot)

Crowned Miss Israel 2004, Gal did what any beauty queen would do—her compulsory two-year stint in the Israeli Defense Forces, which may have made her perfect to play Wonder Woman in her breakout 2017 role. Today she’s still a wonder, according to her 77.9 million Insta followers, and, in the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White and the historical epic, Cleopatra, still a queen. 

Priyanka Chopra (@priyankachopra)

Crowned Miss World 2000, Priyanka quickly became a Bollywood star in her native India. But you know her as Alex Parrish on ABC’s Quantico, or maybe you’ve seen her in Netflix’s The White Tiger or The Matrix Resurrections. But if you only know her as Nick Jonas’ wife, then it’s safe to assume you’re not one of her 76.4 million Insta followers.

Sultry Songbirds

Doja Cat (@dojacat)

She finally got a Grammy Award at last spring’s ceremony, further proof that there’s no stopping Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, aka Doja Cat. Her third studio album, Planet Her (Deluxe) was nominated for Album of the Year, but her single featuring SZA, “Kiss Me More” brought home the gold, delighting hip-hop fans everywhere, including her 23 million Insta followers.

Sunmi (@miyayeah)

No longer a member of disbanded girl group Wonder Girls, Sunmi is no less wonderful. Her 2021 single “Tail” put her squarely in the spotlight, followed months later by her EP 1/6, featuring the single “You Can’t Sit with Us.” Collaborating with the 2020 World Championship DWG KIA, a League of Legends Esports team, she produced her hit single “Go or Stop?” 

Normani (@normani)

If you only know her from the girl group, Fifth Harmony, then you don’t know Normani. She’s paired with Khalid for “Love Lies,” a top 10 hit certified 5x multi-platinum. She joined Sam Smith on “Dancing With a Stranger,” and Megan Thee Stallion on “Diamonds.” Last year’s “Wild Side,” featuring Cardi B, and more recently “Fair” are off her debut solo album expected this summer. 

Jeon Somi (@somsomi0309)

Debuting as a solo artist in 2019 with the single “Birthday,’’ she followed with her debut studio album XOXO two years later. The hugs and kisses are for her growing audience and her 14 million Insta followers. Though she might seem as gentle as a butterfly, cross her at your own peril—she’s a fourth-degree blackbelt in Taekwondo. 

Bebe Rexha (@beberexha)

Rexha has worked with or co-written songs for a host of pop and hip-hop superstars including Eminem on his Grammy-winning single “The Monster,” as well as SHINee, Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, David Guetta and Nicki Minaj. Her 2018 album Expectations reached number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart, no doubt aided by her millions of Instagram followers.

Dua Lipa (@dualipa)

For Dua Lipa, who has 82 million IG followers, it all came together with her 2018 Calvin Harris collaboration, “One Kiss” which destroyed the UK charts. Grammy wins for Best New Artist and Best Dance Recording for “Electricity” with Silk City followed. And the hits just kept coming—“Don’t Start Now,” “Physical” and “Levitating,” which reached number one in 2021 on Billboard’s year-end Hot 100 chart.

Olivia Rodrigo (@oliviarodrigo)

It’s official, Olivia Rodrigo is fire after owning last summer with her charttopping album SOUR. Named 2021 Entertainer of the Year by Time magazine, and later Woman of the Year by Billboard, Olivia also stopped by the White House to promote COVID vaccines. All this before scooping up three Grammys last spring to the delight of her 24.3 million Insta followers. 

Sofia Carson (@sofiacarson)

If you don’t watch Disney then you probably don’t know that Sofia played Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen in the Descendants TV movie franchise. Her stunning looks and crystalline singing voice have netted her 16.3 million Insta followers, a sufficient audience for her self-titled debut album out earlier this year. 

Ava Max (@avamax)

“Sweet but Psycho” doesn’t describe Ava, it’s the name of her 2018 hit single that peaked at number one in 22 countries, and number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her debut studio album Heaven & Hell dropped in 2020 with the hit single, “My Head & My Heart” peaking at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Bella Poarch (@bellapoarch)

She clocks over 89.2 million followers on TikTok and ranks third on the platform. Add to it her 14.2 million Insta followers and there’s no denying Bella’s got swag. Her 2021 deal with Warner Records yielded her debut single, “Build a Bitch,” with a video featuring fellow internet personalities Mia Khalifa, Valkyrae, ZHC and Bretman Rock.

Megan Thee Stallion (@theestallion)

Her number one singles include “Savage Remix” (featuring Beyoncé) and Cardi B’s “WAP” on which she collaborated. Even her late mother, onetime rapper Holly Thomas, thought Megan’s raps were too racy for her age when she revealed her talents to her as a teenager. Sounds like a scene from a Netflix comedy series loosely based on the singer’s life that’s reportedly in the early stages. With 28.7 million followers, there’s bound to be an audience.

Cardi B (@iamcardib)

With 127 million Instagram followers, it’s pretty hard to avoid Cardi B. With eight Billboard Music Awards, a Grammy, six American Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, fourteen BET Hip Hop Awards, and two ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards, there’s no denying it’s Cardi’s world, and the rest of us just live in it.

She found overnight fame when a picture of her at Coachella went viral on social media in 2015, and the 24-year-old model and influencer deserves every bit of her well earned fame.

Candice Huffine (@candicehuffine)
