Website handbag.com has published the results of a poll conducted by Kellogg's All-Bran 5 Day Challenge to determine which female stars are absolutely 'abulous -- here are the top 20!

A survey held in the UK has revealed which famous faces (or figures, in this case) rate highest when it comes to taut tummies.

Breakfast cereal Kellogg's All-Bran 5 Day Challenge polled 2,000 respondents to establish an order than includes everyone from yummy mummy Miranda Kerr to reality star and model Kendall Jenner -- take a look!

In the following pages we bring you the most inspirational female celebrity midriffs.

1. Gwen Stefani

By her own admission, the No Doubt singer's toned stomach is the result of a grueling workout regime and it seems to have paid off bigtime -- at 43, after having given birth to two children, Stefani still takes the crown.

2. Cheryl Cole

Next we have the British popster, who's known more for her legendary curves than singing skills.

She's currently expecting her second child, but the way she bounced back after her first is enough to give Fox's midriff a prominent eleventh place in the poll.
