Keira KnightleyKeira KnightleyKeira Knightley is the world's sexiest woman... according to some.

The Pride & Prejudice star has beaten off serious competition from the likes of Halle Berry, Charlize Theron and Jessica Alba to take a sought-after title.

Keira strikes us as a surprisingly slender choice for the FHM 100 Sexiest Women poll - we thought that lads generally favoured the curvier bod.

Hourglass figures and womanly curves do feature highly on the list, though.

Scarlett Johansson came in third and last year's winner, Kelly Brook, made the top 10, too.

But the surprises didn't end with Keira.

Lost actress Evangeline Lilly, who was an unknown last year, shot into eighth place.

And poor old Britney Spears didn't even scrape into the 100.

FHM's 100 Sexiest Supplement is featured in the mag's June edition.
