Here's a look at the annual list of sexy sirens compiled by AskMen.com.

Each year, men's lifestyle website AskMen.com publishes a list of its '99 Most Desirable.

Women', rating female celebrities on their hotness quotient and overall appeal.

We bring you the beautiful bombshells who've made it to the top 25 for 2014 -- check it out!

No 1: Emilia Clarke

She’s single, and incredibly hot.

No wonder then, Emilia Clarke has been named AskMen's most desirable woman of 2014.

The Game Of Thrones star, who plays formidable Mother of Dragons Danaerys Targaryen, does not shy from displaying her assets in the television series.

Best of all? The 26-year-old English actress is single, according to WSJ.com.

No 2: Alison Brie

The Mad Men and Community star clocks in at No 2 on the desirability meter.

No 3: Emily Ratajhowski

She thought her performance in Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines video was 'tasteful' and 'beautiful'.

We thought it's the reason why she's firmly stationed at No 3.

If you don't agree, check out British born American model and actress Emily Ratajkowski's latest pictures in Sports Illustrated.

No 4: Jennifer Lawrence

This stunning young actress may be well on her way to creating an Oscar record.

If she wins in the Best Supporting Actress category this year – she's been nominated for American Hustle -- she will be the first nominee to win the coveted award in two different categories in two consecutive years.

For now though, the 23-year-old Jennifer Lawrence (who was number 1 last year) has set a sizzling standard here at No 4.

No 5: Emma Watson

She kicked 'cute' firmly out of the window immediately after she finished with the last installment of the Harry Potter saga.

The revamped Emma Watson is a fashionista, highly desirable and can even be spotted in a bikini.

She's been the face of Burberry, won style icon awards and has been featured for the last six years in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women list. Plus, her red carpet appearances always touch a glamorous fashion high.

No 6: Kate Upton

Her tiny gold bikini in Swimsuit Illustrated 50th anniversary edition is being much talked about.

She's a cover favourite who has also appeared on the front page of Vanity Fair's 100th anniversary issue.

Model-actress Kate Upton is a must on numerous 'hot' and 'sexy' lists that magazines and newspapers come out with.

She's on this one too, but is down three positions from last year.

No 7: Kerry Washington

Critically acclaimed actress Kerry Washington (the Oscar nominated Django Unchained and television drama Scandal to name a couple) has been voted as the seventh hottest woman by AskMen.

She uses her celebrity power to support the women's cancer programmes, to address voter apathy and to bring about awareness about the violent crimes that are committed against women.

The 37-year-old is expecting her first child soon.

No 8: Amy Adams

There's something about an intelligent and talented woman's brain that's infinitely sexy.

She did not hesitate to shoot a full frontal scene for the much acclaimed Martin Scorcese film.

She will play the alluring Jane to Alexander Skarsgard's Tarzan.

And she refused Hugh Hefner's offer to be a Playboy centrespread.

Who are we talking about? The sultry Margot Robbie of course!

No 10: Kate Moss

She's just turned 40.

During the last 25 years, she has re-defined the rules of the modeling game.

She's one of the world's highest paid models and has been immortalised in gold.

Playboy chose her to grace their 60th anniversary cover.

How could the iconic Kate Moss not be on this list?

No 11: Beyonce

From Destiny's Child to her latest blockbuster, this bootylicious performer knows how to work the camera just as well as she works her vocal chords.

No wonder her fans are in a frenzy every time they see her.

No 12: Kate Dennings

Kate Denning – who sizzles in both Thor and television series 2 Broke Girls – is a repeat performer.

She's sassy, has a great figure and a pout to die for.

No wonder then she's back on the AskMen top women list and Glamour magazine's sexiest list.

No 13: Cara Delevingne

No 15: Lolo Jones

Lolo Jones didn't win at the London Olympics at her favoured track and field sport, the hurdles.

But, if you thought this Olympian would hide behind the curtains, you would be quite wrong.

She trained hard and gained enough weight to qualify for the American bobsled team at the Winter Olympics at Sochi.

Though she didn't win any medals here either, she gained quite a fan following.

No 16: Scarlett Johansson

One of the sexiest women in the world, she's been named by Esquire as the sexiest woman alive...

Which could be shrugged off (after all, others have been named as well).

But Scarlett Johansson is the only one who made it to that title twice!

And you need another reason to check out her hotness factor, check out her SodaStream has gone viral with over 13 million views in less than a month.

No 17: Zooey Deschanel

Age, clearly, is no barrier when it comes to desirability. She comes in at No 21.

Ocar winner and this year's nominee Cate Blanchett may have been dragged into the controversy surrounding Woody Allen, but that has not dented this fantastic actress's popularity.

No 22: Lupita Nyong'o

Her unforgettable performance, including her nude scene, in Martha Marcy May Marlene – a film that has caused much buzz – is reason enough to find her on this list.

And the fact that she seems to leaving her more famous sisters – Mary-Kate and Ashley – behind in the popularity sweepstakes.

No 25: Adele Exarchopoulus
