Scarlett Johansson

Esquire bestowed the title on Johansson in 2006, and said of her, "We have taken in the totality, the gestalt, and we have concluded that Scarlett Johansson — lips, butt, kidneys, and all — is the sexiest woman alive."

Charlize Theron

"Smart. Hard-assed. Pretty funny." According to Esquire magazine, those are just three of the reasons Charlize Theron deserved the honor in 2007.

Halle Berry

At 42 years old, Halle Berry was the oldest woman to take home the title. She wrote her own acceptance speech for Esquire's 2008 edition.

Kate Beckinsale

In 2009, the honor went to Kate Beckinsale, with the magazine describing the British actress as "beautiful, crisp, tough, smart."

Minka Kelly

Esquire magazine had a pretty big crush on actress Minka Kelly in 2010. "She's beautiful. She's athletic. She's worked gunshot wounds as a surgical nurse. She can act," they wrote, more than justifying her as their choice for that year's Sexiest Woman Alive.

Rihanna

Rihanna took the title in 2011. The 24-year-old singer from Barbados told the magazine, "At the end of a concert, I don't feel like I've been this sexy thing. Really, I don't even think about it."

Mila Kunis

"She talks like that and she looks like that, even when she's really not trying hard at all," wrote Esquire magazine of Mila Kunis, the winner of the magazine's most recent award.
