My biggest complaint about Miley Cyrus when she decided to foster a more mature, sexualized public image was the fact that it felt hollow and forced. It didn’t seem like Miley was trying to take control of her sexuality. It seemed like her ‘team’ was behind the suddenly more sexual image and that disturbed me. It was like someone was telling her to show off her body more to attract a more mature audience and that felt wrong. Since that time though, Miley has gone in a much different direction. She’s adopted an edgier sort of style and to me, it seems more true to who she is as a person. I like that. I know some people don’t like the hair and some people are likely going to feel like these photos are too edgy but I think they’re great. I think Miley looks incredibly sexy but more than that, she looks confident and secure. I’m actually kind of excited to see what she does in her professional life next.

Just the other day, I talked in great length about my love, respect and admiration for Petra Nemvoca. Imagine my surprise when I opened these photos of Petra at Cannes and discovered I’m not absolutely in love with them. Petra is a beautiful girl and I do enjoy these photos but they don’t really look like her – at least not her as I’ve come to expect her to look. I actually had to image search these photos to make sure they weren’t tagged incorrectly. As I’ve mentioned before, I do sometimes have a hard time with faces so maybe that’s the problem here. All in all, she still looks very pretty. There’s just something about these photos that doesn’t do it for me. I’m sure I’ll love the next set twice as much to make up for this one.

After recently gracing the covers of fashion magazines throughout the country, Miley Cyrus can finally put the cherry on top of the icing following a successful run at the title of Maxim’s hottest. She bested perennial hotties like last year’s number 1, Bar Rafaeli, Selena Gomez, Mila Kunis, and fellow singer Rihanna.

The 20-year-old singer/actress finally hits the mother lode of every woman’s fantasy, saying in an interview, “It feels amazing to be number 1, especially because it was voted on by fans. I have the best fans in the world!” Of course millions of Miley Cyrus fans all over the globe provided her a helping hand in reaching this accomplishment, but the magazine re-established Miley’s dominance citing her status as a global force in the entertainment industry. From seeing her as the young and charming Southern belle in Hannah Montana, to gracing the covers of gossip magazines digging her personal life, especially her somewhat on-again, off-again engagement to actor Liam Hemsworth, Miley has definitely come a long way.

For adolescent boys, being Miley Cyrus’ significant other could perhaps feel like hitting the jackpot in FoxyBingo, but it will surely have its share of burdens. Under the scrutiny of the bright lights of the media, Miley’s life had been a roller coaster ride to say the least. Being involved in a ton of controversies as an under-aged teen, and a tumultuous relationship with paparazzi’s buzzing like flies on her every move. As she puts another feather in her cap with the recent number 1 title, Miley Cyrus’ fame definitely blasts off to new heights. Along with this, her market value rises above the ranks of her former Disney Channel co-stars. But as the saying goes, fame comes with a price, and living under the microscope of people’s eye, the future hangs in the balance for this newly crowned hottie.

I know I’ve said this before but I feel it’s worth saying again. I’m a big fan of behind the scenes shots from photo shoots, especially when they star women as incredibly beautiful as Irina Shayk. It’s nice to get a glimpse of what some of the photos look like before they get published. While I’m not a huge fan of how much makeup she’s wearing in some of these photos, I get that it was likely necessary for the photos to come across as glamorous and dramatic and it’s definitely worked. Glamorous and dramatic are the first two words that popped into my head as I scrolled through the images. Of course, sexy and sensual weren’t too far behind. I love these pictures, even with the extra makeup. I think Irina is the kind of girl that looks better without a ton of makeup but she still looks damn good with it.

I know people like to give Christina Aguilera a hard time about gaining weight but I’ve always thought she was gorgeous, regardless of her body type. There’s just something about her I find incredibly appealing. That something is on full display in these photos from Rolling Stone magazine (June 2003). First, I love the nipple rings peeking through the shirt. Maybe it’s a little trashy but Christina was going through her trashy phase back then and I always felt it worked for her. She really owned the super sexual image she fostered and I always got the feeling she was in control. I found that incredibly sexy. I find it incredibly sexy in these photos as well. I have to admit I don’t love the black hair but it was an interesting experiment. I’m glad she didn’t stick with it long though.

I’ve always been of the opinion that Selena Gomez is a little too adorable to really be hot. That seems to be changing dramatically as she gets older. She’s taking on a much sexier image but she’s doing it in such a smart way. She isn’t being trashy or getting herself mixed up in dramatic sex scandals. Instead, she’s showing off a more mature side of herself and that shows in these photos. Sure she’s filming in these photos from LA but I think the overall point remains the same. She’s growing up but she’s doing it in such a classy way. I can think of a few of her contemporaries who could take notes from this young woman.
