Karolina Kurkova - "Sexiest Woman In The World"

A lot of recognition were given to the sexiest woman alive every year. But, E! entertainment television has just named supermodel Karolina Kurkova the sexiest woman in the world.

Karolína Isela Kurková (born February 28, 1984) was born in Děčín, Czechoslovakia, to Josef Kurka, a Czech basketball player, and a Slovak mother. Karolína Kurková is a Czech model, best known as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels. Mario Testino said of Kurková, "The proportions of her body and her face, as well as her energy level, make her a model who could fit almost into any moment."[3] Designer Marc Jacobs said, "She has an angelic look with a dark side, she's sweet and fun but looks like she could be an evil bewitching child."[3] Vogue editor Anna Wintour called her the "next supermodel".

Here is the complete top 10 of E!'s Sexiest Women In The World:

1. Karolina Kurkova
2. Bar Rafaeli
3. Angelina Jolie
4. Gisele Bundchen
5. Scarlett Johansson
6. Adriana Lima
7. Heidi Klum
8. Penelope Cruz
9. Manuela Arcuri
10. Shakira

Kurkova will play the role of Cover Girl in Paramount's upcoming "G.I. Joe." Dubbed by E! as, "she of the mysterious belly button," much has been made of Kurkova's noticeably smooth - almost invisible - navel. According to the model's rep, Kurkova does not have a belly button, due to an abdominal operation as an infant.

Buzz over Kurkova's unique abdomen began to build recently, following a Victoria's Secret photo shoot in Miami, which featured the 24-year-old model in a bikini and sporting a seemingly absent navel - a departure from some of her shoots in the past, which have showed her with a navel. Kurkova's rep confirmed her lingerie and swimsuit photos are often altered to include an image of a navel - a practice that the rep said is typical in the industry when needed. Belly button or not, there's no denying Kurkova's sex appeal - and her success speaks for itself, as Forbes has ranked her as one of the world's highest-paid models. And while Kurkova has been dubbed sexy, she has her own idea of what sexy really means.

"A guy who's not afraid to cry or be vulnerable and show his softer side," she told AccessHollywood.com in a previous interview.
