Ambrosio: The Highest-Ranking Latina on Maxim’s Hot 100 List

It’s a simple fact: Alessandra Ambrosio is one hot momma… And, now she has the men’s vote to prove it.

The 33-year-old Brazilian supermodel is the highest-ranking Latina on Maxim’s 2014 Hot 100 list, coming in at No. 7.

Ambrosio, who has two children with fiancé Jamie Mazur, is “so hot, it hurts,” according to Maxim.

The Victoria’s Secret model, who always dominates the catwalk at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, is the spokesperson for the company’s PINK line.

Surprisingly, Ambrosio did not make last year’s list.

Nipping on the supermodel’s heels: scree siren Jessica Alba.

The 33-year-old half-Mexican American actress, who will surely set tongues wagging when she reprises her role as Nancy Callahan in the upcoming Sin City sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, ranks No. 8 on Maxim’s list of the world’s most beautiful women.

It’s a nine-spot improvement for Alba, who came in at No. 17 on last year’s list.

In all, 21 Latinas made this year’s list compared to 19 last year, when Selena Gomez was the highest-ranking Latina at No. 2. This year, the Spring Breakers star drops to No. 19.

Here’s the list of other Latinas on this year’s list:

Eva Longoria, No. 13
Christina Aguilera, No. 15
Selena Gomez, No. 19
Zoe Saldana, No. 29
Lea Michele, No. 31

Longoria Named Maxim’s Woman of the Year

Eva Longoria is starting off 2014 with a maxim(um) bang…

The 38-year-old Mexican American actress and former Desperate Housewives star has been named Maxim magazine’s woman of the year.

Eva Longoria Maxim Cover

“It’s especially awesome after how long it’s been since my first cover,” Longoria told the men’s magazine after receiving the honor.

“I’ve had a beautiful relationship with Maxim over all these years … When someone sees the cover of this issue, they’re going to say, ‘¡Que rico!’ … Say it when something is really good,” says the magazine’s January/February cover girl.

But there’s more to Longoria, a pro in the kitchen, than meets the eye…

“One thing people are usually surprised about when they get to know me is how domestic I am,” explains the three-time Maxim cover girl. “So when you see the sexy Maxim cover and then you put it against me in an apron with flour in my hair, it takes a moment to reconcile that image.”

The multi-talented actress, entertainment producer and philanthropist recently received her master’s degree and had just presented her thesis at the time of the interview.

“Back in high school I really was the chameleon, too,” she says. “I got along with the honors math club, then I would go to cheerleading practice, and then I was a band geek as well.”

Longoria took the No. 1  spot on Maxim‘s Hot 100 list in 2005 and 2006, making her the only woman to win the honour twice in a row. In 2006, she was  also the oldest Hot 100 winner in the magazine’s history.

Gomez Leads the Pack of Latinas on Maxim’s Hot 100 List

In the last year Selena Gomez has been edging-up her image in films like Spring Breakers… And Maxim’s readers have taken notice.

The 20-year-old half-Mexican American actress/singer is the highest-ranking Latina on this year’s Maxim Hot 100 list, coming in at No. 2 behind fellow former Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus.

Selena Gomez

“This actress turned singer made her debut on the Disney Channel in the show Wizards of Waverly Place. Recently she’s been in the news for breaking up with Justin Bieber and starring in Harmony Korine‘s Spring Breakers,” says the magazine. “Biebs, take it from us: you will not do any better than this beautiful star.”

Gomez, who recently released the video for her new single “Come and Get It,” ranked No. 24 on last year’s list.

But Gomez isn’t the only Latina to make the list this year…

In all, 19 women of Hispanic-descent were named to the Hot 100 list.

Here’s a look at this year’s Latina honorees.

Jessica Alba, No. 17

Bündchen Named One of the Hottest Women of 2013

She may have just given birth to her second child last month, but Gisele Bündchen is still being hailed as one of the hottest women of 2013…

Men’s Health has named the 32-year-old Brazilian supermodel as of the hottest women of the year. Bündchen, who comes in at No. 9, is the only Latina to make the Top 10.

Gisele Bundchen

“She’s like a fashion model blitzkrieg; unstoppable, and easily destroying the competition. She’s been so busy that she purportedly turned down 20 million dollars to be the spokeswoman for Clonaid, the human cloning company. Which, on the one hand, was probably a smart business decision,” says the magazine “(The Guinness Book of Records credits her as ‘the world’s richest supermodel,’  so she doesn’t need the money.) But still, can you imagine if Clonaid was able to use their cloning technology to build an army of Bündchens? There could be a Bündchen in every home! Okay, probably not realistic, but we can dream, can’t we?”

Other Latinas who’ve made the list include Jessica Alba, Adriana Lima and Sofia Vergara. Katy Perry topped the list, beating out Esquire‘s Sexiest Woman Alive Mila Kunis, AskMen‘s Most Desirable Woman Jennifer Lawrence, and Maxim‘s hottest woman Bar Refaeli.

Here’s a look at the Latinas on Men’s Health’s “The Hottest Women of 2013” list:

16. Jessica Alba
20. Adriana Lima
21. Sofia Vergara
22. Zoe Saldana
29. Penelope Cruz
31. Eva Mendes
33. Salma Hayek
45. Alessandra Ambrosio
65. Cote de Pablo
67. Shakira
71. Morena Baccarin
72. Jennifer Lopez
78. Demi Lovato
96. Jordana Brewster
