Maxim Magazine released its Hot 100 list for this year -- what they call the 'definitive list of the world's most beautiful women'. We bring you the top 20!

Glamorous divas from across fashion, entertainment and even corporate hotties have made it to Maxim Magazine's annual Hot 100 list.

With millions of votes cast by enthusiastic readers, here are the 20 ladies who emerged victorious.

1. Miley Cyrus

The 20-year-old has been on a quest to prove she's not a tween heartthrob anymore, making risque fashion choices and stripping for photoshoots. Looks like she got what she wanted -- Miley takes the top spot for 2013, toppling last year's winner Bar Refaeli.

2. Selena Gomez

3. Rihanna
