近日，《男人幫》雜志評選出了全球最性感的100名女性。被譽為英倫新玫瑰的加勒比美女凱拉·奈特麗躍居榜首，《太陽報》的三版女郎新秀基利·黑茲爾一飛沖天，成為本次選舉的亞軍，第三名的獲得者是斯佳麗·約翰遜。2005年度在《男人幫》雜志評選中獨占鰲頭的凱麗·布魯克今年屈居第五。

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.
