Maxim magazine has announced its 2014 Hot 100 list and the pick should not come as a surprise. Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel earned the top spot.
The South African model beat out several of her fellow models, as well as actresses and singers, to earn the title.
The rest of the Top 10 features Avengers star Scarlett Johansson, singer Katy Perry, model Irina Shayk, actress Jennifer Lawrence, actress Zooey Deschanel, model Alessandra Ambrosio, actress Jessica Alba, actress Mila Kunis and model Cara Delevingne.
Swanepoel celebrated the news on Twitter and Instagram, thanking all her fans that voted for her. The 25-year-old was the Victoria’s secret brand’s pick to wear the $10 million “fantasy bra” at the brand’s 2013 fashion show.

“Candice Swanepoel is the ideal embodiment of the new Maxim brand: stunning, sophisticated, elegant,” Maxim creative director Paul Martinez told E! News in a statement. “It's not only her flawless beauty and effortless grace that have garnered her the coveted 2014 Hot 100 Number 1 placement, but also her business acumen.”
The Maxim Hot 100 issue will be out in June. For those wondering about last year’s No. 1, Miley Cyrus, she fell to No. 25.
