It would be easy to make the 2018 Maxim Hot 100 list all about physical beauty—after all, this year’s nominees have that in spades. 

But they’re far more than just pretty faces: The women who inspire us are multi-hyphenates, entrepreneurs, and risk-takers. Now more than ever, we need to celebrate smart, powerful women who are breaking boundaries (and looking damn good doing it).

You’ve already met Hot 100 cover girl Kate Upton—now say hello to the rest of the list:

The Bombshells

Models used to merely grace runways and fashion campaigns. Now, they’re running Instagrams with followings larger than some countries, and redefining our idea of beauty. Here, the supermodels and Insta-stars who made 2018 the hottest year on record.

The Divas

They’re singers, dancers and performers, commanding attention from the concert stage, in music videos and on social media. These powerful pop divas are totally heating up 2018.

The Screen Sirens

The very nature of the female movie star is changing, with a more diverse group of women leading Marvel franchises like Black Panther and actresses leading the charge on the long-overdue Time’s Up movement. Meet the stars who are shaking up TV and film.

The Funny Girls

Thanks to hilarious voices like Chrissy Teigen and Kate McKinnon at the forefront of social media and comedy, we’re laughing more than ever before.

The Power Players

The women of the Hot 100 aren’t just entertaining us, they’re power players in business and government, pro sports and even newly-crowned royalty.
