Here's a look at the annual list of sexy sirens compiled by AskMen.com!
At the start of 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.
Now in its eleventh edition, we bring you the beautiful bombshells who've made it to the top 25, along with the Indian contenders -- check it out!
1. Sofia Vergara
The Colombian actress is mother to a 19-year-old and will turn 40 this year, but she's beaten women half her age from across the world to nab the top spot. With those killer curves, we're hardly surprised!
2. Kate Upton

This American model's star is rapidly rising, particularly after her sizzling spread in last year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. And at 19, Kate is still a teenager!
3. Rooney Mara

Twenty six-year-old Rooney has certainly upped her profile with her critically acclaimed role in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo -- she's even been nominated for an Academy Award for her performance. And she's made it right to the top of the 'Most Desired' list at Number Three!
4. Miranda Kerr

Aussie babe Miranda, 28, juggles being a wife (she's Mrs Orlando Bloom, remember?), a mother and a Victoria's Secret supermodel with aplomb -- in fact, she manages to look even better as time passes!
5. Nicki Minaj

Rounding off the top five we have female rapper Nicki, 29. Her boldness, eccentric sense of dressing and embracing of her voluptuous curves have seen her gain a huge fan following.
6. Emma Stone

With her much-anticipated movie The Amazing Spider-Man on the brink of release, everyone's talking about this stunning 23-year-old actress. She even made it to FHM Magazine's list of '100 sexiest women in the world' in 2011.
7. Scarlett Johansson

Twenty seven-year-old siren Scarlett is in a class by herself! All she has to do is turn her smouldering gaze towards the lens and wait for men to melt into a puddle of warm wax.
8. Kim Kardashian

Ms Kardashian, 31, has had a tough 2011, what with marrying and filing for divorce within 72 days, along with a media storm surrounding the whole affair. But the news that she's still so very desirable should cheer up the brunette reality star!
9. Rihanna

RiRi may be only 23, but she's been smokin' all through last year, with provocative shoots and performances -- if she hadn't made it to the top 10, we'd have been shocked! Fortunately, she has -- to ninth place.
10. Candice Swanepoel

Also 23, this Victoria's Secret Angel certainly has a heavenly body! Add to that her blonde locks and green eyes and you have a winner for sure.
11. Kate Middleton

In eleventh place we have the Duchess of Cambridge, 30, whose natural beauty, savvy sense of style and grace have gained her millions of fans across the world. If Kate's not desirable, well, who is?
12. Zooey Deschanel

This chocolate-haired actress-musician, 32, has gone on record to say that her fringe is the secret behind her appeal, but we think it's the whole package!
13. Mila Kunis

Mesmerising Mila, 28, has been making waves ever since her performance in Black Swan. She was also voted 'Knockout of the Year' by GQ Magazine last year -- and continues to shine in 2012 with her presence on AskMen's list.
14. Selena Gomez

Disney star Selena is only 19, but she's growing up fast and is definitely getting noticed. Boyfriend Justin Bieber should note that he's not the only hearthrob in their relationship!
15. Daisy Lowe

In fifteenth position is 23-year-old British model Daisy Lowe, who has no qualms about baring her body for the cameras. And what a body it is!
16. Katy Perry

The pop princess, 27, is all set to divorce husband Russell Brand, giving millions of her male fans a glimmer of hope that they might stand a chance! And who wouldn't want to take a chance on a hottie like Katy?
17. Emma Watson

The 21-year-old Harry Potter actress is a style icon, but it would hardly be exaggerating to say that even a potato sack would look great on her. After all, Emma is one drop-dead diva!
18. Lady Gaga

Coming in at Number Eighteen we have the eccentric 25-year-old, who's dominating the world charts with her soulful music. Gaga may dress to shock, but if you look beyond the meat dresses and 12-inch platform heels, she's definitely attractive and has the taut, toned figure of a dancer.
19. Lea Michele

Glee actress Lea, also 25, comes in after Lady G -- and unlike the latter, she makes headlines in haute couture that highlights her best assets!
20. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

As lovely as a rose, British model-turned-actress Rosie, 24, is a former Victoria's Secret Angel. And she never fails to remind us of that fact, each time she shows up on a magazine cover or red carpet -- wow!
21. Natalie Portman

Natalie, 30, came in on the list nearly 10 places below her Black Swan costar Mila, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she's desirable alright -- she beat 79 other fabulous femme fatales to 21!
22. Kate Beckinsale

24. Jessica Alba

The Latina lovely is a mother-of-two, but that's done little to diminish her desirability. Jessica, 30, is one yummy mummy alright and if you don't believe us, take a look at her latest mag cover here, four months after giving birth!
25. Emmanuelle Chriqui
