I have a less-than-secret addiction to lists, and this one I particularly liked. It’s the sexiest woman poll, taken by Details magazine. Details is a male fashion magazine that features men on the cover, instead of busty women, and has been described as ‘Vogue for men’ in their 20’s and 30’s.
1. Jennifer Aniston
2. Megan Fox
3. Gisele Bundchen
4. Frieda Pinto
5. Kim Kardashian

This is a fabulous list, considering the sexiest woman lists are usually dominated by 20 year olds with big boobies. While all the women are attractive – sexy, even – they aren’t the usual fodder dished up in lad’s mags. Jennifer Aniston is 40 years old, Megan Fox is unconventional in her appearance, Gisele Bundchen is a supermodel but at least she’s got some curves! Frieda Pinto is Indian, and usually these lists are dominated by caucasians.
Just to compare this to last year’s Maxim Hottest Women poll.
1. Marissa Miller (model)
2. Scarlett Johansson
3. Jessica Biel
4. Eva Longoria Parker
5. Sarah Michelle Geller
These woman are also very sexy, but the eldest is 34. They don’t exactly cover a wide spectrum of beauty. They are all perfect examples of Hollywood hotness – not that there’s anything wrong with that – but it’s nice to see a few new names on the list. On the 2008 Maxim list Jennifer Aniston didn’t make the top 100, neither did Kim Kardashian, Gisele Bundchen or Freida Pinto (who was unknown at the time).
It’s also nice to finally have a story about Jennifer Ansiton that isn’t a ‘poor dumped Jen with no babies’ tale.

Ok, she’s cute, she’s the perfect “girl next-door” and she has an almost perfect body but… sexy?!
In any case I prefer a list like Details’ one than an obvious list like Maxim’s whith overrrated people on it.. And it’s nice to have another proof that shows that men are not always as frivolous as advertising and magazine want us to believe.
*it looks like I have some problem pushing the S key lately*
agreed, she’s very sexy
The recognition is good. It may also put to rest the ridiculous notion that JA doesn’t have anything going for her except the “triangle” to sustain her career and her popularity. You’ll notice the top three sexiest women weren’t JA, AJ and BP.
Good for her.
Ugh, every fibre of my being rebels at the mere thought of a list that rates women based pretty much solely on looks.
I agree with Granger, these types of lists are annoying, but yay for a 40-year-old topping such a list. Also, I am rooting for JA; all of the hatred I often see spewed towards her here in the reader comments just makes me want to see her do well all the more:)
Details is aimed mostly at married men and JA doesn’t threaten the wives of their readership base as much as Scarlett Johanson or a Megan Fox would. She’s cute, not sexy.
W/e…GO JEN! She has a classic beauty & she’s sexy. I love that not only did she make that list but topped the list.
This is a joke. Another Huvane payoff. She is hardly sexier than Megan Fox or Gisele. I will never get over the power of a woman scorned and a good pr team.
I think she is very cute, but sexy? I think it’s a “pitty vote”.
The only ones that should stay on the list are Megan Fox and Frieda. Just don’t see it!
She is gorgeous and beautiful, both inside and outside. I just love her. She is also a strong woman. Many times people fall for stereotypes, I have met many men who love JA and fall her hot. And she does not even try hard to be sexy like Megan Fox or AJ or other holywood types who spend a lot of time horning their sexy image.
Aniston used to irk the hell out of me but she’s got an amazing bod! I know she hasn’t had the kid damage and has something done to her ta-tas, but she looks great in a bikini!
(I’m not a lez, I just look and appreciate a woman who works at it, we are the prettier of our species)
Did any of the detractors see JA’s GQ spread? I can understand why men would find her sexy. She’s beautiful; I don’t understand why people think she or her PR people are paying for any or all recognition she gets. Did they also buy all of the tickets to her latest movies??
I guess we all have very different opinions about what is ‘sexy’, for instance as women go I do not find Angelina Jolie sexy at all, IMHO she is far too thin and it looks unhealthy, I also don’t find Brad Pitt sexy, partly because he doesn’t strike me as the brightest guy, though he seems like an affable person.
Personally, I think that the sexiest fella is Peter Falk as Columbo. Smart as a whip, funny, and rumpled, that is what I consider ‘sexy’. That is why I will never judge anyone elses version of ‘sexy’.
Cute yes….
Sexy …. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way!
Yay for Jen. Lets see how long it takes for John Mayer to reappear in her life after this. 😉
jen’s body is great, IMHO. she is fit, toned and not a bobble head…she looks like she actually eats food, just healthy food.
@TaylorB – exactly. Sexy is so much more than the external. And smart, funny and rumpled in a man is a winning combo, all *my* sexy men tick those boxes.
Funny that her publicist’s brother is the west coast editor of Details and the other brother is the editor of GQ. Yes, the list is legit.
I thought Details was aimed at gay men
Most of the women on the list are B list and C list stars. So I think she is on the right list..
Oh all you Negative Nancies, can’t you just let her have this? You can’t lay off for a single second? You have to search out every positive story about her and come up with something negative to say?
She’s a pretty woman with an amazing body. It makes sense that she’d top a list like this, especially after that GQ cover came out last year and dudes got a look at how sexy and healthy her body is.
Like other posters, JA has a great bod.
But she has the sex appeal of a wet noodle.
Megan Fox has sex appeal, (albeit it’s more about looking cheap and trashy) but she oozes sexuality. KK is just a famewhore and not deserving of any recognition. I’m really pleased to see Frieda on a list. Though I find her quite beautiful, I don’t think she’s sexy either.
Oh well. I guess I’ll stick to men.
I’m all for talking Jen getting publicity away from the ridiculous triangle thingy but really… sexy?
I agree with Gisele and Freida inclusion is a welcome sign but Megan and Kim are a stretch. I’m not a guy obviously.
As for yay, a 40 year old made the list, sex appeal isn’t all in the physical (okay again, I’m not a guy), a 40 year old in a 25 year old body, while commendable isn’t everything… Why the hell isn’t Susan Sarandon on one these lists? She has more sex appeal in her right wrist than KK has anywhere.
That whole list is wrong. Not calling any of the women ugly but most sexy? I wouldn’t think so.
Megan Fox = very very very conventional. She looks like every waitress in L.A.
so interesting that Angelina J isn’t on either list. Kind of surprised.
I think its a great choice. She’s a simple woman and a simple thinker yes. Part her charm. I think she works harder at finding her confidence, than trying to hide her inflated ego like some stars.
I really like you Helen 🙂 And I agree with you. It’s great to hear a story not harping on about how lonely or child-less she is.
give me a break. Just give me a f***ng break. Both lists are full of crap.
TaylorB, I love Columbo, too. What a great show. But I’d never call him sexy.
And Cara, you don’t have to worry that people will think you’re a lesbian if you comment on a woman’s body. Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong in being a lesbian. I’m not sure who in the public eye I see as sexy now. I think Sacha Baron Cohen is sexy because he’s fearless and funny. Ralph Fiennes is sexy because he seems so intelligent (and then there’s that British accent). I also think Clive Owen and Rupert Everett are sexy (good looks and British accents go a long way for me). Lastly, not to forget the political world, I think President Obama and President Clinton are sexy. It’s really such a personal thing.
I’ll add that I also think k.d. laing, the singer, is sexy.
wow – she is sexy? must need to get eyes checked .. she is nice looking – period.
yay. Jen.
