近日，《男人帮》杂志评选出了全球最性感的100名女性。被誉为英伦新玫瑰的加勒比美女凯拉·奈特丽跃居榜首，《太阳报》的三版女郎新秀基利·黑兹尔一飞冲天，成为本次选举的亚军，第三名的获得者是斯佳丽·约翰逊。2005年度在《男人帮》杂志评选中独占鳌头的凯丽·布鲁克今年屈居第五。

Keira Knightley has been voted the sexiest woman in the world.

The 21-year-old beauty - who shot to fame in British film 'Bend it Like Beckham' - topped the annual poll, conducted by Britain's FHM magazine.

She pushed last year's winner Kelly Brook, 26, into fifth place and narrowly beat actress Scarlett Johansson, who came third.

FHM Editor, Ross Brown, said: "Keira Knightley truly deserves to be the winner of our 2006 poll and she's an English Rose like no other."

The gorgeous 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star came 18th in last year's poll, which is voted for by readers of the magazine. This year's competition attracted two million votes.

The top ten included British pop singer Cheryl Tweedy, who slipped from second to sixth this year, mum-to-be Angelina Jolie, who came fourth, and screen siren Jessica Alba who came ninth.

Britney Spears, who topped the poll in 2004, failed to even make the top 100 this year.
