Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and there were so many women that we wanted to add to this list. Picking just 20 beauties was hard work! With actresses, singers, models, entrepreneurs, and businesswomen from all over the world to make our choices from, you can understand why it was so difficult to narrow it down. Of course, we welcome your suggestions. We want to know who you feel belongs on this list. Shout out your suggestions in the comments below.

1 – Gigi Hadid 

Jelena Noura Hadid, better known as Gigi Hadid to you and me, is a model that is featured pretty much all over the world. Just last year (2016), the British Fashion Council named her as ‘International Model of the Year’, and it’s not just in the modelling world that this starlet has made a name for herself. She has also branched out into music videos, featuring in boyfriend, Zayn Malik’s, 2016 hit, “Pillowtalk”. (Who wasn’t obsessed with that song?) That’s before we mention DNCE’s 2015 hit, “Cake by the Ocean” and, in the same year, “How Deep is Your Love” by the fabulous Calvin Harris. Not bad for a girl who first started her career at just two years old, working with Baby Guess!

2 – Eugenie Bouchard

Recently reported as “one of the hottest babes in tennis”, Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard hasn’t done brilliantly well in recent matches, particularly as far as the US Open 2023 is concerned. Knocked out in the first round hasn’t stopped her regularly updating her Instagram account with saucy snaps that also prove to be a knockout, however. With over 1.5 million followers, we think she’s definitely earned her place on the 20 hottest and sexiest girls in the world 2023, don’t you?

3 – Beyonce

She’s just had another baby and turned 36 years old, but that doesn’t stop Beyonce from looking mighty fine, and mighty fierce too, for that matter. Breaking world records all over the place, her recent claims to super-stardom fame include one of the most liked pictures on Instagram. *That* pregnancy announcement has earned her 11.1 million likes (correct at the time of writing) and is now officially the most liked image on the social networking platform.

4 – Behati Prinsloo

If you don’t know who Behati Prinsloo is, take a peek. Not only is she one of the hottest and sexiest girls in the world 2023, she’s also a Victoria’s Secret Angel. In fact, while we’re on the subject, the video of her finding out she was about to become an Angel became one of the most popular videos on the site at one point. A South African-Namibian model, her career actually started with Miu Miu and Prada, and it wasn’t long after that she was picked up by the likes of Marc Jacobs and Mario Testino. She married Adam Levine, frontman of Maroon 5, in 2014 and they have since gone on to have a beautiful daughter with an even more beautiful name – Dusty Rose.

5 – Margot Robbie 

Most of us will better know Australian-born actress, Margot Robbie, has Harley Quinn from the recent Suicide Squad movie. She’s been in a few more roles, aside from the Joker’s on/off, slightly deranged girlfriend, and in the last couple of years alone, you may have noticed her in The Legend of Tarzan, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Focus, Z for Zachariah, and also The Wolf of Wall Street.

2023 promises to be a really good year for the beautiful star, with Peter Rabbit, Terminal, and Mary Queen of Scots being released. Perhaps 2023 is the year that she picks up an award to go alongside the ‘Favourite Action Movie Actress’ People’s Choice Award, or the  ‘Best Female Newcomer’ Empire Award?

6 – Rihanna

She’s one of the most talked about women in the world right now, with *that* relationship with Chris Brown behind her, and that on/off dalliance with Drake that keeps leavin’ us all hanging. Of course, a girl is not made by her love life alone, and we should all remember that Rihanna is very much a shrewd businesswoman in her own right, often playing the paps like the Queen that she is.

The actress and singer-writers rebuttals to being called “fat” by internet trolls are just as witty as the music she brings together, and she has also been praised for her love of fashion and for being a fashion icon. With some of the most memorable outfits of the last decade behind her, we can understand why.

7 – Amber Heard

Whatever opinion you had over that Amber Heard / Johnny Depp drama, one thing can’t be denied. Amber is a beautiful woman, and she’s also doing pretty well in Tinseltown. That’s even more so the case when you consider she only made her movie debut in 2004, and that was in Friday Night Lights. It was a couple of years later that she bagged her own leading role, and that was in the 2006 movie, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. After then appearing in The Rum Diary, Zombieland, The Informers and Drive Angry, it was safe to say that she had established herself as a serious actress in the world of Hollywood. Oh, and a beautiful one at that. For the record, the next couple of years are set to be really good ones for this actress, with Justice League, London Fields and Aquarium all coming out, and all starring her!

8 – Ariana Grande

24 year old Ariana Grande has made serious headlines lately, especially with the Manchester Arena bombing. After organising the One Love Manchester concert to help raise money for those affected by the tragedies, it’s also been reported that the fundraising has notched up a staggering $25 million. In fact, as much as she is beautiful, Ariana’s charity work should definitely not be overlooked.

At just 10 years of age, she helped to set up Kids Who Care, a youth group in Florida, and has gone to become vegan, campaign for animal rights (particularly against Seaward in Florida after the documentary Blackfish was released). Oh, and then there’s that MAC Cosmetics line she released, the work she does for the LGBTQ community, as well as those affected by Aids and HIV, and the rescue animals she cares for and fundraises for also … We love her, that’s all we’re saying.

9 – Anne Hathaway

This British singer and actress is well known for playing the hilariously relatable role of  Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries. That was back in 2001, and she has racked up some serious hit movies in the years that followed. The Devil Wears Prada came in 2006, Valentine’s Day in 2010, Alice in Wonderland in the same year, The Dark Knight Rises, Les Miserables, Interstellar … There have been far too many to list.

Alongside a budding movie career, Anne Hathaway has also done her fair bit for charity, much like many of the women on this list. She has recently been appointed a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, and supports the LGBTQ community, and has also worked with Nike Foundation, Step Up Women’s Network, World Bank, and more.

10 – Kendall Jenner 

The Kardashian-Jenners are always in the news, and it’s not always for the best of reasons. Kendall Jenner is no exception, especially with *that* Pepsi commercial. It certainly had the nation divided, that’s for sure. A model mostly because of her social media following, in an era that Vogue has dubbed “the Instagirl era”, she does seem to be pretty good at it and has even branched out into the role of photographer, as of 2016.

Of course, the family is always shrouded in controversy, and one of the latest ventures of Kendall Jenner – t-shirts emblazoned with the faces of musical greats – was met with scrutiny. It even saw the family being sued for copyright infringement. Ooops. Even her recent pairing with La Perla was met with anger after it seemed to collide with a previous Victoria’s Secret arrangement which she then had to cancel.

11 – Priyanka Chopra

We know that Priyanka Chopra is one of the hottest and sexiest girls in the world 2023 because the fact she won the Miss World pageant confirms it. Admittedly, that was back in 2000, but she has gone on to make quite the name for herself across a number of industries. As well as being a beauty queen winner, she’s also a film producer and actress, a singer, and a philanthropist too. For the record, she’s also one of the most popular and also highest-paid celebrities to come from India. Just last year (2016), Time magazine put her on the 100 most influential people in the world list.

12 – Scarlett Johansson

She’s been compared to Marilyn Monroe a few times, and after you take a peek at the gorgeous Scarlett Johansson, you can understand why. It all started in 1994 when she appeared in a movie called North. Just two years later and she bagged a role in Manny & Lo, and it was just a couple of years following on from that when she found herself with big-deal roles in movies such as Girl with a Pearl Earring in 2003, Lost in Translation in the same year and Ghost World in 2011.

Oh, and as well as being stunningly beautiful, Scarlett Johansson is also filthy rich. She’s the highest-grossing actress from North America of all time. Just last year (2016), she apparently earned $1.2 billion.

13 – Cheryl

TV personality, singer and dancer, Cheryl, is formerly known as Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Cheryl Cole, and also Cheryl Tweedy. Following a string of failed relationships (and marriages), she’s resorted to a one-name basis, and we totally feel all of those vibes.

Of course, she’s been quiet for a while. It wasn’t long after the news broke that she was dating One Directioner, Liam Payne, that it was then announced she could be pregnant. Following months of public speculation, baby Bear was finally born. As well as that, she now holds the top spot (along with Jess Glynne), for the most number one singles from a British female artist. They both currently stand at 5 singles, in case you were wondering.

14 – Taylor Swift

We’re all singing “Look What You Made Me Do” right now, and let’s face it, whether you love her or you hate her, Taylor Swift is a very pretty girl. A singer that once rose to fame because of her country vibes, she’s now a very successful pop artist. Her latest single, from the “Reputation” album, has given her her first number one single in the UK, and her fifth number one in the US. It’s catchy too, have you heard it?

15 – Nana Im-Jin-Ah

Source: Pinterest

Some know her better as Nana, but Nana Im-Jin-Ah is a model, actress and singer from South Korea. Some know her from the main group, After School, or perhaps from the ‘subgroup’ that arose from this, Orange Caramel.

Paying just as much attention to her studies as she is her career, she graduated from high school and went on to become a fully licensed artist of makeup, and has not only appeared highly on several of the country’s Most Beautiful-lists but has also walked several catwalks.

16 – Selena Gomez

She was once Justin Bieber’s girlfriend, but Selena Gomez has a career all of her own and, to be fair, was pretty famous well before he came along. It all started when she was a kid starring in Barney & Friends, but it was the Wizards of Waverly Place that really shot her to fame. There were a number of kid-orientated TV shows during her childhood years, but she’s grown up quick since then. As well as a budding musical career, Selena also took an executive producer’s position on the very popular Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why. Focusing on mental health was important for the young star, particularly as she has had her own battles, and even took a brief hiatus from social media to help her cope with her personal demons.

17 – Pia Wurtzbach

We have another beauty queen on her hands in the form of Pia Wurtzbach, an entertainer and model known in the Philippine industry, but who was actually born in Stuttgart, West Germany. 2015 was a great year for the beauty pageant queen, being crowned Miss Universe Philippines, and then Miss Universe. Her career started long before then, however, and at the age of 4, she was acting under a different name — Pia Romero.

A proud supporter of gender equality, Pia has publicly come out to say she has no intentions to have children or get married in the near future and also started working with the UN, becoming a Goodwill Ambassador for Asia and the Pacific.

18 – Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke is currently filming Above Suspicion, a movie that will see her acting alongside Johnny Knoxville, Thora Birch and Jack Huston. She has the lead role in that movie, but that’s not what she is better known for. In fact, many of her fans will better know her by the name of Daenerys Targaryen, a regular in the HBO series that took the entire world by storm, Game of Thrones. She’s been nominated for a string of awards for her part in the series, including Screen Actors Guild Awards, Primetime Emmys, and even Critic’s Choice Awards. She’s won a few too.

There was the Scream Award for ‘Breakout Performance – Female’ in 2011,  and even an SFX Award in 2013 too. Out of 27 received nominations, she’s won 5, and we reckon that’s not bad going, especially when you look at the huge amount of talent there is out there today in the movie and TV industry.

19 – Gal Gadot

She’s Wonder Woman so we feel she definitely deserves a spot on this list, and let’s face it, she’s beautiful too. She wanted both men and women to look up to the Wonder Woman character, and we think that the 32 year old Israeli-born model and actress has definitely managed this.

Many of you remember that Gal also had her part to play in The Fast and The Furious movies, as Gisele Yashar, and before all of her filming career began, she was Miss Israel. That’s right, we have another beauty queen on our hands. Not just beautiful, Gal Gadot also quite literally took on the role of Wonder Woman, becoming a combat trainer in the Israel Defense Forces for two years.

20 – Lais Ribeiro

Brazilian model, Lais Ribeiro, didn’t actually take up modeling until just a year after she gave birth to her son. A friend told her to try to be a model, so she did. Clearly, it was great advice for the super babe, and it was just a couple of years before she was working with designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Versace and even Louis Vuitton. Oh, and that’s before we bring up the Victoria’s Secret affiliation too.
