What Is Sexy? The Victoria’s Secret Angels Share Their 2013 Picks

May/13/2013 at 08:25 AM ET

Quick: Which star has the sexiest bikini body? The sexiest smile? How about the sexiest sense of humor?

Victoria’s Secret (and their team of Angels) answered all those questions and more in the exclusive first-look video above — and we’re inclined to trust their judgment. After all, these women get paid quite a bit to essentially have a Ph.D. in sexiness. (Spoiler alert: the answers to the above questions are Rihanna, Zoë Saldana and Jennifer Lawrence, respectively.)

Also on the list are several repeat winners: Amanda Seyfried, last year’s “Sexiest Lips,” took home “Sexiest Hair” this year. Jessica Chastain was upgraded from “Sexiest Smile” to “Sexiest Actress.” And Beyoncé made her third consecutive appearance on the list, this year winning the title of “Sexiest Songstress.”

To find out which stars won “Sexiest Curves,” “Sexiest Summer Glow” and “Sexiest TV Cast” — as well as which categories were awarded to celebs like Giuliana Rancic, Hayden Panettiere and Blake Lively, watch the video and check out the full list below. And visit Victoria’s Secret’s Facebook page and the site for more info about their accompanying What is Sexy collections.

Keira Knightley’s Honeymoon Wardrobe Includes a Leather Jacket for a Boat Trip

We’re still talking about her wedding dress, so it’s no surprise that Keira Knightley‘s honeymoon attire is just as noteworthy.

For starters, her coverup is much more stylish than the tees we tend to reach for. In fact, her pretty printed shirtdress did double duty as her travel outfit — after disembarking from her private plane in Corsica, she went straight for a stroll on the beach, then unbuttoned the dress to reveal a chic maroon two-piece with a baroque print. She accessorized her outfit with a $24 pair of Havaianas and a crisp Panama hat.

Then for a picnic lunch aboard a boat, the actress topped a high-waisted pair of red shorts and a black tee with a killer $2,865 Balenciaga quilted leather jacket. It’s hardly what we’d wear to protect ourselves from sea spray and bread crumbs (we’d save ours only for fancy nights out with 0% chance of rain!) but we also didn’t get to recycle custom Chanel for our wedding.

Alanis Morissette's Bikini Splash News Online (2)

When we hit the beach, we’re thinking about proper SPF and whether we missed a spot while shaving our legs.

When Alanis Morissette hits the beach, she makes a statement with her swimsuit.

PHOTOS: Check out how stars get into bikini-ready shape — in style!

From the front, her striped triangle top and black bikini bottom is a cute, comfortable style for playing in the Hawaiian surf with her toddler son.

From the back, however, her bikini bottoms proclaim the star’s “Self Love” in crystal-studded cursive.

Judging from the star’s big smile and confident stance, she is practicing what she’s preaching, though we don’t know if we can endorse any kind of sparkly derrière messaging — regardless of how much we support the message itself.

PHOTO: Ireland Baldwin Makes Her Modeling Debut In a Bikini

It’s only been three weeks since Ireland Baldwin officially kicked off her modeling career, but the leggy 17-year-old has already landed her first high-profile swimsuit editorial, in the New York Post.

And while no one’s doubting Baldwin’s natural talents, we’re guessing her famous parents (that would be Alec Baldwin and ex Kim Basinger, who’s playing modeling coach for her daughter) may have helped catapult her into the spotlight so quickly.

That’s not to say the young model doesn’t pose like a pro in the photoshoot, wearing an assortment of skimpy swimsuits in N.Y.C.’s 40° weather without looking the least bit chilly. (We bet Kate Upton would be proud!)

‘Spring Breakers’ Stars: We Ate Fast Food to Prep For Those Bikini Scenes

Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Selena Gomez (at left, with James Franco) all agree on one thing about their Spring Breakers experience: They never want to see those bikinis again.

Hudgens had already told us she wanted to burn hers, and at the film’s L.A. premiere, her costars concurred.

“I was over the orange top and the green little bottoms. It was a pain, actually!” Gomez says of her ill-fitting suit. And Benson agreed that she’d send her bathing suit straight to the incinerator — though it wasn’t because she had to starve herself to wear it.

“I trained, worked out and went on a clean diet for a month,” Benson says of her pre-film routine. “And then I get there and [director Harmony Korine] is like, ‘You guys need to gain weight.’ And I’m like ‘Oh my God, I just spent all this money on a trainer. I did a complete diet and now you want me to eat Taco Bell?!’ I love eating anyway, so it’s fine!”

And Benson says Gomez was her partner in crime to load up on greasy eats during the filming. “I love fast food. It’s so bad, and [Selena] brings it out in me. Always at McDonald’s,” she shares. “I never go to McDonald’s, but every time I’m with Selena, she makes me eat so bad. But it’s so good, I love it!”

Tell us: Are you going to check out ‘Spring Breakers’? And can you believe the stars got ready for the shoot with fast food?
