When she’s not acting Smith also fronts the metal band Wicked Wisdom, which she founded in 2002. The band has opened for Brittany Spears and has appeared at OzzFest. She is of African-American, West Indian, Creole and Portugese-Jewish descent. The combination adds up to a package that is still fine in her forties.
2. Heidi Klum
Appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated was just the beginning for this German bombshell, who was discovered when she won a modeling contest in 1992. Klum showed off her bodacious body in a long run as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. She served as host of the lingerie company’s annual fashion show four times. She still models these days, but makes most of her money via a variety of business interests.

Men’s Health magazine named her in 2011 as one of the “100 Hottest Women of All-Time.” Her reality TV show, Denise Richards: It’s Complicated provided an inside look at her life.
But she does have a softer side. Her tumultuous marriage to Sheen produced two daughters, and she later adopted a third daughter.

Who knew 50 years old could look so good? The leggy Australian became the object of every man’s desire back in the 1980s with the first of her record five appearances on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

Around that time she started her own modeling company, which serves as the foundation for her many business interests today.
MacPherson married billionaire Jeffrey Soffer in July 2013. She had a previous marriage and a longtime relationship with French financier Arpad Busson, which produced two sons. The Body shows no signs of slowing down or fading. Tall, tanned and terrific.
7. Jennifer Aniston
Maybe it’s the Transcendental Meditation or yoga she practices that keeps her body so fit and fine. Perhaps it’s just great genes. Whatever the reason, there’s no denying that Aniston looks amazing at 46. Everyone came to love her as Rachel Green in the blockbuster TV show “Friends” from 1994-2004. From there she’s gone on to star in dozens of films. And, yeah, there was that seven-year relationship with Brad Pitt.

Men’s Health went even further in 2011, naming her the hottest woman of all time. In 2014, Forbes magazine ranked her as the third highest paid actress, raking in $31 million per year.

In between there have been high profile marriages to rockers Richie Sambora and Tommy Lee, and Locklear’s face and body have remained perfect through it all.

She’s been nominated for six Golden Globe awards. TV Guide & Entertainment Weekly magazine named her one of 100 American Television icons, easy on the eyes for all these years.
10. Kate Moss
This English waif was discovered at JFK Airport when she was 14 years old and quickly became one of the hottest faces in modeling. She bared it all for the 60th Anniversary issue of Playboy in 2013, and today at 41 years old she’s maintained her thin figure and distinct, gorgeous face.

14. Jennifer Lopez
J Lo is known for her beautiful skin, classic features and bodacious booty.

She’s been less successful in love with three failed marriages and several other high profile relationships (looking at you Ben Affleck) that went up in flames in the public eye. Still, there’s no denying her outrageously good looks. She’s come a long way from the Castle Hill neighborhood and looked smoking every single step.
15. Padma Lakshmi
This Indian goddess is a knockout. She’s been the host of the American reality TV show Top Chef since 2006, and has been nominated for a Emmy as best reality host. She’s also written award winning cookbooks, but nothing she puts on the stove or in the oven is as hot as she is. She was the first Indian model to be featured in New York City, Milan and Paris
