Grammy-winning pop superstar Doja Cat has announced a massive run of 2026 dates for her “Tour Ma Vie World Tour,” spanning Latin America, Europe, the U.K. and North America. The 2026 leg of the tour, promoted by Live Nation, follows previously announced 2025 stops across Australia, New Zealand and Asia later this fall and winter. The extensive world tour marks the artist’s largest-ever outing and her first time headlining in multiple international regions, including Latin America.

The 2026 tour is set to kick off in São Paulo, Brazil, at Suhai Music Hall, before heading to major cities including Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Dublin, London, Lisbon, Paris, Chicago, Denver, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami and Toronto. The run will conclude with a headline performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Dec. 1, 2026.

The tour supports Doja Cat’s highly anticipated fifth studio album, Vie, which was released last week via Kemosabe Records/RCA Records. Alongside the album drop, the artist unveiled the music video for her new track, “Gorgeous.” Directed and shot by Bardia Zeinali in New York City, the video features appearances by high-profile models and creatives, including former Maxim cover star Irina Shayk, Yseult, Paloma Elsesser, Alex Consani, Amelia Gray, Ugbad, Ida Heiner, Mona Tougaard, Alek Wek and Karen Elson.

Doja Cat recently performed her single “Jealous Type” at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, featuring soft jazz saxophonist Kenny G. She first teased the song in her Summer ‘25 campaign with Marc Jacobs. Last year, she released her deluxe album Scarlet 2 CLAUDE, which included the chart-topping singles “Attention,” “Paint The Town Red” and “Agora Hills.” “Paint The Town Red” spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the first rap song to reach the top spot in 2023. “Agora Hills” peaked at No. 7 on the Hot 100 and reached No. 1 on Top 40 Radio in 2024.

Doja Cat, J Balvin & Tems Will Headline 2025 FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show Curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin https://www.maxim.com/entertainment/doja-cat-j-balvin-tems-will-headline-2025-fifa-world-cup-final-halftime-show-curated-by-coldplays-chris-martin/ Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:09:46 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=262645

Pop superstar Doja Cat, Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems, and Colombian reggaeton sensation J Balvin are officially set to headline the inaugural halftime show at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Final. The groundbreaking concert, curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, will take place on Sunday, July 13, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The genre-spanning performance marks the first-ever halftime show in a FIFA competition, bringing a Super Bowl Halftime Show-style level of entertainment to the global soccer stage. The performances will be broadcast live on the streaming platform DAZN, giving fans worldwide access to the buzzy musical event. The halftime show is a collaborative effort with the nonprofit Global Citizen and will reportedly serve a significant philanthropic purpose. It aims to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which seeks to raise $100 million to bolster education initiatives for children around the world.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup kicks off on June 14, with matches held at various venues across the U.S. leading up to the final. Doja Cat released her latest album, Scarlet, in 2023. She recently garnered acclaim for her performance at this year’s Academy Awards, where she delivered a medley of James Bond theme songs alongside Blackpink’s Lisa and Raye.

Tems released her debut album, Born in the Wild, last year, and J Balvin brings his extensive catalog of chart-topping Latin hits to round out the diverse lineup. Said Balvin in a statement, “From Medellín to MetLife—I’m honored to headline the first-ever halftime show of the FIFA Club World Cup final. It’s a historic moment, for me, for Latin culture and for every kid who dreams big.”

“We’re going to bring the world together for a beautiful moment,” said Tems, “to celebrate football, feel the unity that music brings, and improve the lives of millions of children through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. I can’t wait…see you at the Club World Cup final.”

F1, the hotly-anticipated motorsports movie starring Brad Pitt and directed by Top Gun: Maverick helmer Joseph Kosinski, races into theaters on June 27. The film is set in the high-octane world of Formula 1 racing and follows Pitt’s veteran racer as he mentors teammate Damson Idris and pursues one final shot at racing glory. Atlantic Records is also set to drop the film’s soundtrack, F1 The Album, featuring new music from Chris Stapleton, Ed Sheeran, Dom Dolla, Tate McRae, Roddy Ricch, Burna Boy, and more.

The soundtrack previously spawned an F1-centric video for “Lose My Mind” by Don Toliver and Doja Cat, and Blackpink singer Rosé just shared her video for the film’s power ballad, “Messy,” which shut down the Las Vegas Strip for filming and features the K-Pop superstar moodily sipping martinis and sitting on what appears to be a huge pile of diamonds at a Sin City nightclub.

Watch both videos here, and check out the full F1: The Album tracklist below.

Meet The Women Of The 2023 Maxim Hot 100 https://www.maxim.com/news/meet-the-women-of-the-2023-maxim-hot-100/ Tue, 18 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=206486 In uncertain times, we are all comforted by the classics—classic beauty by no means least of all. And our Hot 100 issue is always one for the ages. Led by curvy cover star Ashley Graham, these women are not only drop-dead gorgeous but multitalented, many with several savvy entrepreneurial ventures to their credit.

It’s no surprise they get all the best movie deals, record contracts and advertising campaigns. So feast your eyes on the incredibly accomplished beauties on this list, some already bona fide legends, others just starting out; but all of them embodying that ineffable quality, “hot,” that we survey in such high style every year.

Hollywood Heartbreakers 

Margot Robbie

(Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures UK)

No, she didn’t get the Golden Globe for her scene-stealing romp as silent film siren Nellie LaRoy in last year’s Babylon, but she’s been stealing hearts for years as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, and in the altogether in her breakout film, The Wolf of Wall Street. Catch her in this summer’s Barbie opposite Ryan Gosling’s Ken.

Ana de Armas (@ana_d_armas)

(Emma McIntyre/FilmMagic via Getty Images)

Last year at this time she was revving up for a spot on the A-list with the Netflix awards contender Blonde. Now she has arrived, getting her own John Wick spin-off, Ballerina, with Keanu Reeves. Recently, she reunited with Gray Man star Chris Evans for Ghosted, a romantic, action-adventure flick.

Samara Weaving (@samweaving)

(Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for Turner)

She’s the niece of Matrix actor Hugo Weaving, but that’s not why she broke out in the hide-and-seek thriller, Ready or Not. She broke out because she’s irresistible to anyone with eyes. If you blinked you missed her in Babylon, playing an angry starlet upstaged by Margot Robbie. So, catch her latest, Scream VI. 

Sabrina Carpenter (@sabrinacarpenter)

(Roy Rochlin/Getty Images)

You know her as Maddy in Emergency, but she’s already a veteran performer at the age of 24 with credits like Girl Meets World and Clouds. Upcoming is Netflix’s Alice in Wonderland and Into the Deep Blue. Also a pop singer since 2014’s “Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying,” her fifth album, Emails I Can’t Send, dropped last year. 

Sadie Sink (@sadiesink_)

(John Phillips/Getty Images)

She joined the party as Max Mayfield on Stranger Things, and if you didn’t fall for her there, she got you as Suzanne Ballard on American Odyssey. Last year marked a move from popular entertainment to arthouse cinema when she starred in The Whale as troubled daughter Ellie to Brendan Fraser’s obese English professor.

Olivia Rodrigo (@oliviarodrigo)

(Dave J Hogan/Getty Images)

In 2021 she invited everyone to get SOUR, the name of her Grammy-winning debut album with the viral hit, “Drivers license.” Not just a sensational voice, she’s also an actor, having played musical theater nut Nini who heads west with showbiz dreams in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

Isabela Merced (@isabelamerced)

(Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

If you somehow get stuck watching Dora and the Lost City of Gold, you might notice the titular explorer is all grown up. So grown up that she played the deadly daughter of Jason Momoa in Netflix’s Sweet Girl. Look for her next year in the Spider-Man spinoff, Madame Web with Dakota Johnson. 

Joey King (@joeyking)

(Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images)

She gave you goosebumps in The Conjuring when she was just a kid. Well, she’s a big girl now in Bullet Train, where she plays a sexy assassin who outwits damn near everyone, including Brad Pitt. Look for her in the upcoming Netflix romcom A Family Affair opposite Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman, and also Uglies, a dystopian look at compulsory beauty.

Jodie Comer (@jodiemcomer)

(Neil Mockford/FilmMagic via Getty Images)

Matt Damon and Adam Driver fought to the death over her in 2021’s The Last Duel. And why wouldn’t they? An Emmy winner and Golden Globe, SAG, and Critics Choice nominee, this Killing Eve star is truly killing it. Catch her opposite Austin Butler and Tom Hardy in the upcoming The Bikeriders.

Lily-Rose Depp (@lilyrose_depp)

(Photo by Taylor Hill/WireImage via Getty Images)

How could she not be stunning with a mom like Vanessa Paradis and a dad like Johnny Depp? A Chanel model and Elle cover girl, she’s not just a pretty face, she can act, too, making her debut in Kevin Smith’s Tusk in 2014, and since starring in The Dancer as the legendary Isadora Duncan. Next up is HBO’s The Idol co-starring The Weeknd.

Jenna Ortega (@jennaortega)

(Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic via Getty Images)

This year she’s got Scream VI taking over movie theaters, and Wednesday dominating your TV, and her iconic Wednesday dance went viral. No doubt about it, this Golden Globe and SAG nominee is on a hot streak, with Finestkind, co-starring Ben Foster and Tommy Lee Jones, expected later this year.

Katherine McNamara (@kat.mcnamara)

(Steven Ferdman/Getty Images for NYFW: The Shows)

You thought she was only Mia Smoak on the CW’s The Flash, but she turned out to be the Green Arrow, which means she’s hot and can kick your ass. Her work on the supernatural drama series Shadowhunters got her a People’s Choice Award. But her star turn in Walker: Independence is a breakout performance as a widow bent on revenge.

Zoe Saldaña (@zoesaldana)

(Jacopo Raule/Getty Images)

She’s only in the two hottest franchises in cinema. Blue in Avatar, she plays Neytiri, Na’vi soulmate to Jake Sully. Green in Guardians of the Galaxy, she’s Gamora, action alien and sometime partner to Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill. Look for her to reprise her iconic role as Uhura in the coming Star Trek sequel.

Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney)

(Theo Wargo/WireImage via Getty Images)

She’s a two-time Emmy nominee for her turn as lovelorn Cassie Howard opposite Zendaya in Euphoria, and snarky Olivia Mossbacher on The White Lotus, not to mention Eden Spencer on The Handmaid’s Tale. Look for her opposite Dakota Johnson in next year’s Madame Web

Fashion Legends

Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata)

(Samir Hussein/WireImage via Getty Images)

She’s come a long way since her claim-to-fame appearance in Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” video. The newly single 32-year old is continuing to build her empire, is the author of the candid New York Times bestseller My Body, and even has her own podcast, High Low with EmRata.

Cara Delevingne (@caradelevingne)

(Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4 presented by Prime Video)

The high-profile British it-girl is one of the busiest 30-year olds around: She has a her own brand of prosecco, launched a fashion collection with the late Karl Lagerfeld’s namesake brand, and she’s starred in the TV series Carnival Row as well as Hulu and BBC’s Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne.

Bella Hadid (@bellahadid)

(JP Yim/Getty Images for NYFW: The Shows)

The younger half of the fashion world’s beloved Hadid sisters, the American beauty of Dutch-Palestinian descent was named the “most beautiful woman in the world” based on “Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi” in 2019. Four years later, it seems as if she’s only getting more and more beautiful.

Barbara Palvin (@realbarbarapalvin)

(Daniele Venturelli/Getty Images for Moncler)

With her soft, feminine curves and glacial blue-eyed smize, the Hungarian hottie was born for modeling. While no longer a Victoria’s Secret Angel, you can still see the former Maxim cover star wherever you look—shooting campaigns for brands like Jimmy Choo, Alo Yoga, and Armani Beauty.

Candice Swanepoel (@candiceswanepoel)

(Arnold Jerocki/GC Images)

Time seems to stand still for this South African legend. She topped the Maxim Hot 100 back in 2014, and nearly a decade later, she’s just as ravishing. These days, the 34-year-old is the founder and creative director of, and also model for, her own swimwear line called Tropic of C.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (@rosiehw)

(Dominique Charriau/WireImage via Getty Images)

The timeless model-turned-entrepreneur and former Maxim Hot 100 winner is like a perennial flower in the industry. Modeling since the tender age of 16 and known for her pillowy bee-stung lips, she’s now the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of her own company Rose Inc.

Joan Smalls (@joansmalls)

(Taylor Hill/WireImage via Getty Images)

One of Puerto Rico’s finest, the 34-year old became the first Latina model to represent Estée Lauder cosmetics in 2011, and quickly rose through the ranks to become the sixth highest paid model in the world in 2015. She has walked in over 400 fashion shows throughout her brilliant career.

Izabel Goulart (@izabelgoulart)

(Lionel Hahn/Getty Images)

She’s been in the modeling biz for a hot minute, becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2005, and now at 38, the long-legged Brazil native and her out-of-this-world abs haven’t aged a day since she first started her career, continuously making eyes water worldwide.

Hailey Bieber (@haileybieber)

(Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Academy Museum of Motion Pictures)

A far cry from her early days as a ballet dancer, Mrs. Bieber is the proud founder of her own popular skincare line, Rhode, that has a cult following—proving that the former Maxim Hot 100 queen is a full-blown businesswoman with serious entrepreneurial chops to boot. 

Sultry Songbirds 

Doja Cat (@dojacat)

(Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

Hot Pink from 2019 reached the top 10, and a remix of one of its singles, “Say So,” topped the charts with an assist from Nicki Minaj. Her follow-up, Planet Her, spent its first three weeks at number two with singles like “Kiss Me More” (featuring SZA), “Need to Know” and “Woman.” 

Asian Doll (@asiandabrat)

(Prince Williams/Wireimage via Getty Images)

Last year she dropped Let’s Do A Drill, featuring Bandmanrill, Tay Money, Dougie B, Ivorian Doll, Sosa Geek, Iffy Foreign and many more. Then in December she dropped her single, “Sky Falling,” closing out a busy year for the Dallas-born rapper with the killer curves.

Grace VanderWaal (@gracevanderwaal)

(Amy Sussman/WireImage via Getty Images)

She had already won the 11th season of America’s Got Talent when she dropped her debut album, Just the Beginning back in 2017. A double threat, her acting career hit overdrive when legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola cast her in his current opus, Megalopolis costarring Adam Driver and Aubrey Plaza.

Anitta (@anitta)

(Cindy Ord/WireImage via Getty Images)

The first solo Latin artist to reach a billion streams on Spotify, her 2022 album, Versions of Me with sassy singles like “Me Gusta,” featuring Cardi B and Myke Towers, and “Faking Love” with Saweetie, earned her a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

Maren Morris (@marenmorris)

(Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for The Recording Academy )

Her most recent studio album, Humble Quest debuted at number two on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and at number 21 on the Billboard 200. Winning a Grammy, five Academy of Country Music Awards and five Country Music Association Awards makes her the perfect collaborator for husband Ryan Hurd’s debut album, on the hit single, “Chasing After You.”

Poppy (@impoppy)

(Burak Cingi/Redferns via Getty Images)

Ten years ago she was a YouTube android preoccupied with internet culture. A weird way to get noticed but it led to her debut EP Bubblebath. Her Stagger EP dropped last fall with the single, “FYB,” and she’s not done yet. Expect a fifth studio album in coming months.

Lisa (@lalalalisa_m)

(Natt Lim/Getty Images for Coachella)

When you’ve got nearly 90 million IG followers, you’re allowed to just have one name. And this sexy rapper, singer, dancer, model and member of South Korean supergroup Blackpink also has five Guinness World Records, including the first solo K-pop winner at both the MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV Europe Music Awards.

Kelsea Ballerini (@kelseaballerini)

(Mindy Small/WireImage via Getty Images)

This country crooner and former coach of The Voice has been killing it since her 2014 debut single, “Love Me Like You Mean It.” Now, nearly a decade later she still hasn’t let up, dropping “Heartfirst,” the first single off her fourth album, Subject to Change. Sure, it was nominated for a Grammy, but everyone’s fave is her Kelly Clarkson and Carly Pearce collab, “You’re Drunk, Go Home.” 

Beabadoobee (@radvxz)

(Matthew Baker/Getty Images)

That’s Beatrice Kristi Ilejay Laus to non-fans. This Filipino-British songbird has been tearing it up over the past five years. Her debut studio album, Fake It Flowers dropped in 2020 and landed number eight on the UK Albums Chart. Her second album, Beatopia dropped last summer. Plus she toured with Taylor Swift this year. 

Fletcher (@findingxfletcher)

(Andrew Toth/Getty Images)

“Midnight Sky,” her sexy duet with Miley Cyrus, raised eyebrows and pulses on New Year’s Eve, but it’s nothing new for Fletcher. In 2019, “Undrunk” became her first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Her third EP, The S(ex) Tapes was inspired by her breakup with YouTuber Shannon Beveridge.

Destiny Rogers (@destinyrogers)

(Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Just a skater girl from Lodi, her 2019 EP Tomboy dropped with a music video for the title track of her boarding through her hometown joined by professional skater Mariah Duran. With a little help from Blackpink’s Lisa, who released her own dance cover video for “Tomboy,” the song started streaming like crazy in 2021.

Becky G (@iambeckyg)

(Astrida Valigorsky/Getty Images)

First came her album, Mala Santa, followed by last year’s Esquemas and her highest-charting single, “MAMIII.” She’s also done collaborations with artists like Daddy Yankee, Christina Aguilera and David Guetta. Accolades include two American Music Awards, four Latin American Music Awards and four Latin Grammy nominations.

Stefflon Don (@stefflondon)

(Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images)

She teamed with French Montana on 2017’s “Hurtin’ Me,” catapulting her to number seven on the UK Singles Chart. This, only a year after her debut mixtape, Real Ting. Stardom brought the chance to team with rapper Big Sean on the remix of Halsey’s “Alone” before singing with Mariah Carey on a remix of “A No No,” a song from her album Caution

Halle Bailey (@hallebailey)

(Jerritt Clark/Getty Images for Wearable Art Gala)

Halle and sister Chlöe have earned five Grammy nominations over the past five years as the R&B duo Chloe x Halle, but this year seems like the biggest yet. Halle’s packing movie theaters as Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. And this winter she’ll surely be in the awards mix with the new film adaptation of The Color Purple.

Jorja Smith (@jorjasmith_)

(Joseph Okpako/WireImage via Getty Images)

A special guest on Drake’s Boy Meets World Tour in 2017, she appeared on a track on his mixtape, More Life. And though she opened for Bruno Mars on his 24K Magic World Tour, it was “I Am,” which she co-wrote and sang for Kendrick Lamar’s soundtrack album for Black Panther, that made her part of a global phenomenon.

Beyoncé (@beyonce)

(Mason Poole/Parkwood Media/Getty Images for Atlantis The Royal)

She’s only sold over 200 million records and was named the RIAA’s Top Certified Artist of the Decade, as well as Billboard’s Top Female Artist of the Decade, 2000-2009. The first solo artist to debut their first seven studio albums at number one on the Billboard 200, she’s taken home a whopping 32 Grammy Awards. 

Icons & Megastars 

Ariana Grande (@arianagrande)

(Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)

She’s one of Spotify’s most streamed female artists of all time, and the most subscribed to female artist on YouTube. Winner of two Grammys, one for 2018’s “Sweetener” and another for “Rain On Me” with Lady Gaga, she holds multiple Guinness World Records. Check her out next year as Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked.

Billie Eilish (@billieeilish)

(Steve Granitz/FilmMagic via Getty Images)

Her first studio album, 2019’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, quickly became one of the year’s best-sellers, along with the single “Bad Guy.” In her short career she’s already won seven Grammys, and both a Golden Globe and an Oscar for her James Bond song, “No Time to Die.”

Charli XCX (@charli_xcx)

(Victor Boyko/Getty Images For Mugler)

Her fifth studio album, last year’s Crash, is her most commercially successful to date, landing in the top ten in both New Zealand and the US, and topping charts in Australia, Ireland and the UK. The 30-year-old solo artist has been co-writing for years with people like Iggy Azalea, Selena Gomez, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, and Sigala and Rita Ora. 

Lady Gaga (@ladygaga)

(Mike Marsland/WireImage via Getty Images)

With over 40 million records sold, 13 Grammys, two Golden Globes and a nomination for her Top Gun: Maverick theme, “Hold My Hand,” her Chromatica Ball tour took in $112.4 million, making her the highest-grossing female artist of the year. Don’t miss her next year opposite Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux.

Dua Lipa (@dualipa)

(Arnold Jerocki/Getty Images)

The 2019 Grammys marked her arrival with two awards, one for Best New Artist and one for Best Dance Recording for her Silk City collaboration, “Electricity.” Her second album, Future Nostalgia earned six Grammy nods, led by the chart-topping single, “Don’t Start Now.” Look for her later this year in Argylle alongside Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)

(Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)

She broke the internet last year when tickets for her Eras Tour went on sale. “Anti-Hero,” the number one single off of Midnights, has broken many of her personal bests, hanging in the Billboard Hot 100 for months. It’s all par for the course for the winner of a whopping 12 Grammys with over 200 million records sold, making her one of the best-selling musicians in history.

Rihanna (@badgalriri)

(Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic via Getty Images)

Sure, the Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year, but at halftime she proved that her game is bigger. Nine Grammys, 14 number one singles, 32 in the top ten in the U.S. and the wealthiest female musician with a net worth of $1.4 billion makes her royalties from “Lift Me Up,” her Black Panther: Wakanda Forever single, mere pocket change.

Selena Gomez (@selenagomez)

(MEGA/GC Images via Getty Images)

She’s come a long way from Barney & Friends, receiving a Golden Globe and Emmy nomination for her work on Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building alongside Steve Martin. A former Billboard’s Woman of the Year and the most followed woman on Instagram, Gomez was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world.

Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj)

(Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for MTV/Paramount Global)

There can only be one “Queen of Rap,” and Maxim’s Creative Director is it. With more than 100 million records sold worldwide, Minaj is the first female artist to have 100 Billboard Hot 100 entries. Last year, she fogged bifocals with the video for her song “Super Freaky Girl,” which debuted at number one, becoming the first song by a solo female rapper to do so in 24 years. 

SZA (@sza)

(Taylor Hill/FilmMagic via Getty Images)

SOS took over the charts late last year, landing American singer / songwriter SZA atop the Billboard 200 for months. The video for her hit single, “Kill Bill,” named for the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film, gets pulses pumping as the R&B singer wields a katana sword confronting a murderous ex. 

Zendaya (@zendaya)

(Emma McIntyre/FilmMagic via Getty Images)

She’ll be rocking tennis whites in Challengers later this summer, and will slay the box office in Dune: Part Two, dropping in November. A Golden Globe and two-time Emmy winner for Euphoria, she’s also the perfect face of her generation and a spokesmodel for Lancôme and Valentino.

Normani (@normani)

(Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images)

With Fifth Harmony in her rearview, she and Sam Smith struck gold on “Dancing with a Stranger,” earning her a Song of The Year nod at the Brit Awards. In 2020, she released “Diamonds” with Megan Thee Stallion for Birds of Prey: The Album, followed a year later by “Wild Side” with Cardi B cracking the top 20.

Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus)

(Arturo Holmes/Getty Images)

If you rang in the New Year right, you did it with Miley and Dolly Parton. Sure, Miley’s pretty as a rose, but ex-husband Liam Hemsworth might tell you to mind the thorns after she seemed to have chronicled their failed marriage in her hit single “Flowers.” And she appeared on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Artists chart in 2019. 

Instagram Sirens 

Kahealani Papke (@kvhea)

(Jerome Duran)

Just one look and you know there’s something regal about Kahealani Papke. She’s the great-great granddaughter of Tahiti’s last queen, Queen Marau, making her the last Tahitian Princess. While very low-key about her royal blood, she made her official editorial debut in 2022, appearing on the cover of Evie magazine.

Sure, retired MLB slugger Jose Canseco had an illustrious career and everything, but perhaps the most impressive thing he’s given the world is his daughter Josie. She’s five-feet-nine-inches of pure magnificence; a sweet package of radiant blue eyes and a perfectly chiseled Venus-like body.

Addison Rae (@addisonraee)

It’s hard to comprehend a number as huge as 88.8 million, but it’s the number of fans the 22-year old TikTok star has on the platform. And with a whopping 5.8 billion likes and millions more followers on other platforms, she’s rightfully earned the title of world class influencer.

We already knew that Brazilian women are a different kind of heavenly, and Bruna Lírio is living proof of that. Green-eyed and long-legged, everything about her is lovely and mesmerizing. She’s a statuesque stunner at a towering 5’10” and simply exudes chic sophistication.

Morgan Ketzner (@morganketzner)

(Alvin YJ Kim)

One million Instagram followers are transfixed by Ketzner’s effortless beauty and incredible curves, whether she’s showing off her killer physique in a bikini, lingerie set, or OOTD. Her online presence has landed her clients including Sports Illustrated, ASOS, and PrettyLittleThing.

In the few short years since she’s found fame, the Florida native has starred in campaigns for Victoria’s Secret and graced the cover of L’Officiel.

Antonela Roccuzzo (@antonelaroccuzzo)

(Marc Piasecki/WireImage)

Antonela Roccuzzo just might be the most envied woman on the planet right now, considering she’s the devoted and oh-so-sexy wife of Lionel Messi, who happens to be the hottest soccer superstar in the world. And with 34 million Instagram followers, she’s a whole influencer all on her own.

Chiara King (@chiaraking)

(Chiara King)

With an impressive 5.1 million Instagram followers, this baby-faced LA-native was scouted at an airport at age 14. Now signed with Next Models, she actually found fame another way: when Justin Bieber (of course) posted a picture of the angelic beauty on his Instagram.

Model Citizens 

Kaia Gerber (@kaiagerber)

(Steve Granitz/FilmMagic)

If you think this gorgeous face looks familiar, it’s because she’s the daughter of the one and only Cindy Crawford. Luckily, Cindy’s otherworldly genetics were passed down from mother to daughter, and the 21-year old was named Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards at the young age of 17.

Lila Moss (@lilamoss)

(Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

With a mother like Kate Moss, it’s only natural that Lila is one of the most beautiful women in the world and dove right into modeling. She’s clearly following in her mother’s footsteps and appeared in Calvin Klein’s Fall 2022 campaign 30 years after Kate’s career-making ads with the company.

Leni Klum (@leniklum)

(Gotham/WireImage)

Based on her elegant features, icy blue eyes, and the fact that Heidi Klum is her mother, it sure seems like Leni Klum won the genetic lottery. Naturally, she’s blossomed into the modeling world and has already worked with labels like Dior Beauty, Dolce & Gabbana, and Intimissimi by the young age of 19.

Not long after making her high-fashion debut, the South Sudanese model was named one of Time’s “Most Influential Teens of 2018.” Her rise to fame is inspiring: she spent her childhood in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp, and went on to forge an incredible career for herself.

Liya Kebede (@liyakebede)

(JP Yim/Getty Images for NYFW: The Shows)

She found fame as a model over two decades ago, and Liya is still going strong, shooting campaigns for the likes of Louis Vuitton and Prada. But that’s not all—she’s also a former Goodwill Ambassador for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health for the World Health Organization.

Quannah Chasinghorse (@quannah.rose)

(Steve Granitz/FilmMagic)

One of the only models who proudly wears her indigenous identity, she’s a member of the Hän Gwich’in and Sičangu/ Oglala Lakota tribes. Her passion for representation got her scooped up by industry powerhouse IMG and on Forbes’ 30 under 30 list—all by the age of 21.

(Yuichi Yamazaki/Getty Images)

Once touted as the “Future of Japan,” she’s one of the most followed and influential personalities in the country, boasting a colossal audience of 7.5 million on Instagram, who no doubt follow for both her beauty and her sweet and bubbly personality.

(Jason Kempin/Getty Images)

Congratulations are in order for the new Miss Universe, who happens to be the first Filipino-American to ever win Miss USA—the title she was crowned before winning Miss Universe. She also made the good ol’ U.S.A. proud by being the first American to win the Miss Universe title in ten years.

Fei Fei Sun (@feifeisun)

(Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images)

A true veteran of the industry, the Weifang, Shandong, China native was the first Chinese model to grace the cover of Vogue, as well as star in a Valentino campaign. And with a face as cherubic as hers, it’s no wonder she’s one of the most in-demand Chinese models of all time.

Harnaaz Sandhu (@harnaazsandhu_03)

(Arturo Holmes/Getty Images for NYFW: The Shows)

When she won the title of Miss Universe in 2021, the Indian pageant queen brought the coveted crown home to India for the first time in 21 years and was the third Indian woman to be crowned Miss Universe. With her breathtaking almond eyes, it’s easy to see why she won.

Imaan Hammam (@imaanhammam)

(Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images)

Having been on the cover of 12 different editions of Vogue, the Dutch-born, African-Arabic model is an industry icon. Known for her creamy bronze skin and piercing brown eyes, she’s walked the runway and starred in numerous advertising campaigns. 

Cindy Mello (@cindymello)

(Daniele Venturelli/WireImage)

Her youthful glow and delicate, fairy-like features have landed the alluring Brazilian beauty high profile clients like Dior, Fendi, and Victoria’s Secret—and now, she’s also the face of her own swimwear brand, Mello The Label.

Charlotte McKinney (@charlottemckinney)

(Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for A Sense of Home)

She built up her name on Instagram with eyepopping posts that heat up the screen, though most will recognize her from a particularly saucy Super Bowl ad. However, what truly sets the 5’7” temptress apart from the rest is her loving heart.

Ann-Sophie Thieme (@annsophiethieme)

(Ann-Sophie Thieme, Nima Samiee/@nimasamieeph)

This German megababe is staying busy these days gracing the covers of magazines like international issues of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, and she deserves every bit of her well-earned popularity. Her doll-like features are utterly mesmerizing. 

Maxim Cover Squad 

Cindy Kimberly (@wolfiecindy)

Draped mini dress: HERVE LEROUX, Crystal earrings: HOUSE OF EMMANUELE (Gilles Bensimon)

For Maxim cover star Cindy, fame came overnight in 2015 when Justin Bieber posted her picture on his Instagram with the simple four-word caption: “Omg who is this!!” While we have The Biebs to thank for introducing the Spanish stunner to the world, Cindy gained the rest of her popularity on her own with her captivating beauty and sensational physique.

Tanya Kizko (@tanyakizko)

(Gilles Bensimon)

A bewitching combination of beauty and brains, the leggy Ukrainian supermodel with thick amber curls and irresistibly snatched waist was on track to becoming an engineer if modeling wasn’t her destiny. Maxim’s March/April 2022 cover model was discovered at 18 while attending university, and only began modeling once she had her degree under her belt.

Gizele Oliveira (@giizeleoliveira)

Mesh top: UNDIZ, Vintage earrings (Gilles Bensimon)

The dog-eat-dog world of modeling was no match for Maxim’s 2022 September/October cover girl’s sultry gaze and irresistible charm. The Brazilian native moved to New York in 2014 where she signed with IMG and made her fashion week debut with Dolce & Gabbana, and in 2017, made her way to Shanghai to walk the runway for Victoria’s Secret.

Ava Max (@avamax)

Jeans & belt: CHROME HEARTS (Gilles Bensimon)

Relatively new to the limelight, Maxim’s 2022 November/December cover star exploded onto the scene in 2018 with her breakout hit “Sweet but Psycho” off her first album, Heaven & Hell. If the first is any indication, she’s on her way to even bigger stardom with her second album Diamonds & Dancefloors that just came out in January.

Gracie Hunt (@graciehunt)

Shirt: PLT (Gilles Bensimon)

She’s the heiress to the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty and the ultimate southern beauty who embodies her name to a T; a magical amalgam of perfectly-coiffed blonde tresses and perfect poise. Not only was she Maxim’s 2023 March/April cover star, she’s also a philanthropist and a pageant queen who was crowned Miss Kansas USA in 2021.

Paige Spiranac (@_paige.renee)

(Gilles Bensimon)

The sultry golf goddess and former Maxim cover star was crowned the sexiest woman alive when she topped the Maxim Hot 100 last year, and one look at her Instagram proves she’s only getting hotter. And much to the delight of her followers, she just launched an OnlyFans-inspired subscription-based website called OnlyPaige.

Teyana Taylor (@teyanataylor)

Teyana Taylor July-August  (11)
(Gilles Bensimon)

The breakout actress-dancer-choreographer-director-recording artist extraordinaire topped the 2021 Maxim Hot 100 list, and clearly for good reason. With her show-stopping looks combined with her success across the entertainment industry, it was a long time coming. “I’ve followed Maxim for a long time and I’ve always felt like I should be on the cover,” as she put it.

Daniela Botero (@danielaboterofficial)

(Gilles Bensimon)

Colombia is well known for its jaw-droppingly gorgeous women, but Daniela Botero is on another level. The Latina bombshell and Maxim’s 2022 May/June cover model is a true renaissance woman with a laundry list of talents. She’s a seasoned model, actress, mother, and powerful businesswoman with an organic skincare line on the horizon.

Fit & Fabulous 

Ivona Dadic (@ivona.dadic)

(Stephen Pond/Getty Images for IAAF)

If being gorgeous was an Olympic sport, Austrian athlete Ivona Dadic would win the gold. But in the world of sports that actually exist, she placed eighth in the Women’s Heptathlon at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and will go for the gold in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Kayla Itsines (@kayla_itsines)

A personal trainer since 2008, she’s the hottie with a body and the co-founder of Sweat and co-creator of High Impact with Kayla. Judging by her 15.5 million followers on Instagram, her signature workouts are a big hit and have inspired millions of women to get into shape.

Anastasia Ashley (@anastasiaashley)

(Dave Lee/GC Images)

The pro surfer with the immaculate beachy vibes has spent nearly her entire life chasing waves off the North Shore of Oahu—and it shows. After winning her first surf competition at the age of six, she nabbed the Triple Crown Rookie of the Year Award at 16.

Allison Stokke (@allisonstokke)

(Warren Little/Getty Images)

American track and field athlete Allison Stokke had a majorly successful collegiate pole-vaulting career, and worked with fitness brands including GoPro, Nike, and Athleta. And aside from being a super-fit athlete and overall megababe, she tied the knot with pro golfer Rickie Fowler in 2019.

Daisy Keech (@daisykeech)

(Gerritt Clark/Getty Images for In The Know Experiences)

With nearly 6 million Instagram followers, the peachy Keech is a fitness influencer nonpareil at the tender age of 23, known for her self-described “hourglass abs.” Nor is she just a pretty face. As the California native likes to say, “A healthy booty starts with a healthy mind.” 

Lolo Jones (@lolojones)

(Tom Pennington/Getty Images for Team USA)

With a nickname like Lolo, you just know she’s cool. The 40-year-old Olympic hurdler and bobsledder is the self-proclaimed “Charles Barkley of The Olympics.” She finished fourth in the 100-meter hurdles at the 2012 Olympics just one year after having spinal surgery, which proves she’s absolutely unstoppable.

Olivia Dunne (@livvydunne)

(Leon Bennett/Getty Images)

The 20-year old Louisiana State University gymnast is a sight to behold. She’s the embodiment of the phrase “strong is the new sexy,” with lean and strong arms, toned legs, and sculpted abs that are the envy of many. From her graceful jumps to her explosive tumbling of artistic gymnastics, her athleticism and skill is mesmerizing.

Leticia Bufoni @leticiabufoni

(David Becker/Getty Images for Palms Casino Resort)

The fearless Brazilian professional skateboarder is one of the most accomplished female athletes in the sport. She’s a six-time X Games gold medalist, SLS Super Crown Champion, and Olympian—which proves she’s spent her athletic career breaking boundaries.

Stephanie Gilmore (@stephaniegilmore)

(Cameron Spencer/Getty Images)

The Australian pro surfer is one of the greatest the waves have ever seen. She’s an eight-time world champion on the Women’s WSL World Tour, and was inducted into the Surfers’ Hall of Fame at 22 in 2010—making her the youngest inductee at the time.

Mikaela Shiffrin (@mikaelashiffrin)

(Allen Berezovsky/WireImage)

Since winning her seventh career Alpine world championships gold medal in Méribel, France, in February, Shiffrin became the most decorated and successful skier of the modern era at just 27 years old—with 13 medals under her belt from 16 career world championship races.

Fads and trends may wax and wane, but classic beauty never goes out of style—look no further than this year’s Hot 100 leader, Paige Spiranac.

Yet these are no mere pretty faces, for the women on this list are as accomplished as they are celebrated. From movie stars and musicians to athletes and influencers, these paragons of pulchritude are as hot as it gets. Read on and try not to burn your eyes…

Hollywood Heartbreakers

Megan Fox (@meganfox)

(Taylor Hill/WireImage)

Famous for her all-American good looks and sex-symbol status, the outspoken 36-year old actress has been making headlines lately thanks to her unconventional relationship with rapper Machine Gun Kelly. The odd couple even stars in a new movie together titled Good Mourning.

Ana de Armas (@ana_d_armas)

(Byroy Rochlin/Getty Images for Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures)

If you weren’t aware that this girl’s on fire, her Bond girl performance in No Time to Die no doubt got your attention. Recently caught steaming things up on and off screen with Ben Affleck in Deep Water, this Cuban-born chica will test her star status as Marilyn Monroe for Netflix’s Blonde later this year.

Zendaya (@zendaya)

(Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)

The star of Euphoria, for which she earned an Outstanding Lead Actress Emmy Award at age 24, Zendaya is the biggest celeb of her generation. Along the way she played MJ in the Spider-Man franchise, and starred opposite Timothée Chalamet in Dune. Already with a whopping 137 million Insta followers, that number will rise with the Dune sequel already in the works.

Adria Arjona (@adriaarjona)

(Stefan D’Alessandro/Getty Images)

You saw her earlier this year as Martine Bancroft, vampiric girlfriend to Jared Leto in Morbius. But you might remember her from Pacific Rim: Uprising. And you can also catch her in a Latinx remake of the Liz Taylor classic, Father of the Bride.

Zoë Kravitz (@zoeisabellakravitz)

(Rich Fury/VF22/Getty Images for Vanity Fair)

Daughter of rocker Lenny Kraviz and actor Lisa Bonet, Zoë is best known as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman in last spring’s hit, The Batman, a hard-won breakout after years of lesser roles in movies like X-Men: First Class, Divergent and Mad Max: Fury Road.

Laura Harrier (@lauraharrier)

(Rich Fury/VF22/Getty Images for Vanity Fair)

It was just a matter of time before this former model found her way from fashion ads to the big screen. Peter Parker pined for her in Spider-Man: Homecoming, then she was wooed by John David Washington in BlacKkKlansman. But can she stand up to heavyweight champ Mike Tyson? Find out next year when she stars as Robin Givens.

Phoebe Tonkin (@phoebejtonkin)

(Hanna Lassen/WireImage)

This Chanel brand ambassador first began acting in her native Australia, starring in the alien invasion saga Tomorrow, When the War Began. But you probably know her as Hayley Marshall in The CW series The Vampire Diaries and its spinoff series, The Originals.

Alexa Demie (@alexademie)

(Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for HBO)

Her character Maddy Perez may be a confident, witty teen in Euphoria, but Alexa’s that way in real life, too, which accounts for her 10.9 million Insta followers. Growing up around trauma primed her for her role on the show in which she’s stuck in a relationship with a psychopathic football player.

Emilia Jones (@emiliajonesy)

(Dave J Hogan/Getty Images)

She was best known for the Netflix thriller, Locke & Key, but all that changed the night of the Oscars when her little indie film CODA took home the Oscar for Best Picture. Next up is the indie thriller, Cat Person, in which she plays a college sophomore in a relationship with an older man.

Simone Ashley (@simoneasshley)

(Jeff Spicer/Getty Images)

Burning it up with Jonathan Bailey on this season’s Bridgerton, this Brit-born actress of Indian descent is redefining what leading ladies look like. Yes, she has Netflix’s Sex Education on her resume, which means she knows her birds from her bees, leaving lessons on fish and seas for 2023’s live-action The Little Mermaid.

Julia Fox @juliafox

(Marco Piraccini/Archivo Marco Piraccini/Mondadori Portfolio via Getty Images)

Not just Kanye’s rebound after his split with Kim Kardashian, Julia Fox has forged a neat little career for herself, appearing in the Adam Sandler film, Uncut Gems, and more recently working with Steven Soderbergh on No Sudden Move. Look for her next year in The Trainer, a comedy about the American dream.

Rachel Zegler (@rachelzegler)

(Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)

She only beat out more than 30,000 applicants for the role of María in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. Marking her screen debut, last season’s ecstatic remake of the 1961 classic earned the beauty with the flashing eyes a Golden Globe. Later this year she’ll appear in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and then she takes on iconic princess Snow White in Disney’s upcoming live-action remake.

Hoyeon Jung (@hoooooyeony)

(Jeff Kravtiz/FilmMagic)

Netflix’s biggest hit of 2021, Squid Game earned Hoyeon a Screen Actors Guild Award for her stoic performance. Next up is Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple TV+ series, Disclaimer starring Cate Blanchett, Sacha Baron Cohen and Kevin Kline. Not bad for this South Korean newcomer. No doubt her 23.8 million Insta followers would agree. 

Lily James (@lilyjamesofficial)

(Arturo Holmes/FilmMagic)

She wowed as Pamela Anderson in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, big cups to fill indeed, but the star of Cinderella and Downton Abbey had no compunction about donning prosthetics for the show. Bonus points for nonchalantly riding shotgun with wheelman Ansel Elgort in the modern car chase classic, Baby Driver

Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney)

(Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic for HBO)

In addition to 12.1 million followers on Insta, Sydney has the most astute grandparents in the business. When she invited them to the premiere of her hit show, Euphoria, they reportedly took one look at her nude scenes and told her, “You have the best tits in Hollywood.”

Madelyn Cline (@madelyncline)

(Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images for Belvedere Vodka)

You know her as queen bee Sarah Cameron on Netflix’s Outer Banks, but she’s about to bump it up to the big screen when the Knives Out sequel comes out later this year, which will no doubt boost her 12.4 million Insta followers by another million or so. 

Fashion Legends 

Barbara Palvin (@realbarbarapalvin)

(Daniele Venturelli/Daniele Venturelli/Getty Images for Bulgari )

Though she’s retired her Victoria’s Secret wings alongside all of the other Angels, the former Maxim cover star is busier than ever, walking in runway shows, gracing the glossy covers of numerous magazines, and shooting campaigns for brands like Alo Yoga and Armani Beauty.

Cara Delevingne (@caradelevingne)

(Jerritt Clark/Getty Images for Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 2 Presented by Amazon Prime Video)

The modeling world’s wild child Cara Delevingne is proving herself to be a force to be reckoned with in other industries as well, having launched her own prosecco brand called Della Vite alongside her sisters. Plus, she recently joined the cast of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building for its second season.

Alessandra Ambrosio (@alessandraambrosio)

(Karwai Tang/Getty Images)

Alessandra Ambrosio, one of the most iconic Victoria’s Secret Angels of all time, spent 17 years of her career modeling sexy lingerie, only to retire her wings in 2017. Since then, the former Maxim cover girl has modeled for brands including SKIMS and Alexander Wang, while working on her own swimwear brand GAL Floripa.

Elsa Hosk (@hoskelsa)

(Karwai Tang/Getty Images)

Even after welcoming her first child last year, the Swedish stunner and former Maxim cover star is showing no signs of slowing down. She continues to rock the fashion industry, signing deals and shooting campaigns for brands like Valentino, and has collaborated with makeup brand Beaubble for her own collection of products.

Hailey Bieber (@haileybieber)

(Karwai Tang/Getty Images)

Thanks to her sweet smile, sultry gaze, and understated elegance, the lovely Hailey Bieber is an ode to sophistication with beauty that’s almost too good to be true. The former Maxim Hot 100 winner and Maxim cover star also just launched her own skincare brand called Rhode.

Lily Aldridge (@lilyaldridge)

(Hung Vanngo)

With her wide brown eyes, long lashes, and killer physique to boot, the California-born former Maxim cover star and former Victoria’s Secret Angel made a name for herself at the top of the modeling hierarchy, and is known as one of the most memorable personalities of the modeling world.

Joan Smalls (@joansmalls)

(Jesse Tam)

If modeling was an Olympic sport, this Puerto Rican supermodel would take home the gold. With her mile-long legs, she’s been strutting her stuff on the runway for major labels including Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty lingerie line and Off-White. What’s more, she also has her own online donation platform called Donate My Wage.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (@rosiehw)

(Steve Granitz/WireImage)

A veteran of the modeling industry, time seems to stand still for the aristocratic, fresh-faced 35-year old English beauty, a former Maxim Hot 100 winner and cover star who somehow looks even more beautiful and radiant than the day she first started modeling

Martha Hunt (@marthahunt)

(Martha Hunt)

The North Carolina-born all-American bombshell is best known for being a former Victoria’s Secret Angel, and for good reason. With looks as radiant and jaw-dropping as hers, it’s no wonder this former Maxim cover model has become one of the lingerie giant’s most iconic faces.

Icons & Megastars 

Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj)

(Taylor Hill/FilmMagic)

The preeminent Queen of rap kicked off the first half of 2022 with a slew of four singles that appeared immediately on Billboard charts upon release, the latest being “We Go Up” featuring Fivio Foreign. But the ten-time Grammy nominee’s biggest power move of the year came in May, when she was announced as Maxim’s Creative Director. Being a perennial force in pop culture and Instagram’s most-followed rapper, Minaj’s brand and influence are a perfect fit for the world’s leading luxury lifestyle magazine.

Ariana Grande (@arianagrande)

(John Shearer/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)

She’s the recipient of two Grammy Awards, two Billboard Music Awards and 20 Guinness World Records titles for a career that seems to expand as fast as her followers on Insta, now numbering 305 million. Ariana’s film work has been mainly cameos with the exception of last year’s Oscar-nominated Don’t Look Up, for which she sang “Just Look Up” with Kid Cudi.

Jennifer Lopez (@jlo)

(Arturo Holmes/MG21/Getty Images)

Just because she’s reunited with Ben Affleck doesn’t mean the rest of us aren’t still yearning for the 53-year-old pop star. She’s sold more than 80 million records in her lifetime, a number that pales in comparison with her 203 million Insta followers. Even after many years in showbiz, her 2011 hit, “On the Floor” was declared “Highest Viewed Female Music Video of All Time” by Guinness World Records in 2012.

Kendall Jenner (@kendalljenner)

(Arturo Holmes/FilmMagic)

She’s been modeling since she was 14, quickly becoming brand ambassador for Estée Lauder and landing covers for Vanity Fair, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Condolences to supermodel Gisele Bündchen, but Kendall blew past her in 2017, becoming the world’s highest paid model, according to Forbes, and garnering 230 million Insta followers in the process.

Rihanna (@badgalriri)

(Stephane Cardinale – Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images)

With record sales numbering more than 250 million worldwide, including 14 number-ones on Billboard’s Hot 100, and a whopping nine Grammys, Rihanna is adored by 126 million Insta followers. With a net worth of $1.7 billion thanks largely to her Fenty Beauty and Fenty X Savage brands, she became even more glam when announcing the birth of her first child with A$AP Rocky.

Kylie Jenner (@kyliejenner)

(Raymond Hall/GC Images)

Yes, she’s with Travis Scott and yes, they have a new baby, but that doesn’t mean she’s not into you… in your dreams! She started Kendall + Kylie clothing line with her sister, and started Kylie Cosmetics on her own. And being the most followed woman on Insta with 327 million, she has more customers than you can count.

Selena Gomez (@selenagomez)

(Tibrina Hobson/Getty Images)

Many of us first saw Selena when she was but a girl on the Disney Channel. Since then she’s grown up to be the double-threat actor/ singer who captured the hearts of Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber, the Weeknd and 312 million Insta followers. Now her accolades include being named Billboard’s Woman of the Year, MTV Video Music Awards, a SAG and Grammy nomination.

Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)

(Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic)

Country-pop crossover, indie folk, alternative rock—is there anything Taylor can’t do? Winner of a whopping 11 Grammy Awards, nobody beats her, just ask her 206 million Insta followers. The stunner’s former beaus are a who’s who of entertainment including Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eddie Redmayne, Zac Efron, Harry Styles and Tom Hiddleston, plus she’s a former Maxim Hot 100 leader and cover star.

Gal Gadot (@gal_gadot)

(Karwai Tang/Getty Images)

Crowned Miss Israel 2004, Gal did what any beauty queen would do—her compulsory two-year stint in the Israeli Defense Forces, which may have made her perfect to play Wonder Woman in her breakout 2017 role. Today she’s still a wonder, according to her 77.9 million Insta followers, and, in the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White and the historical epic, Cleopatra, still a queen. 

Priyanka Chopra (@priyankachopra)

(Gilbert Carrasquillo/GC Images)

Crowned Miss World 2000, Priyanka quickly became a Bollywood star in her native India. But you know her as Alex Parrish on ABC’s Quantico, or maybe you’ve seen her in Netflix’s The White Tiger or The Matrix Resurrections. But if you only know her as Nick Jonas’ wife, then it’s safe to assume you’re not one of her 76.4 million Insta followers.

“From The Black Keys to Justin Bieber, Diplo to Doja Cat, and a special segment by Snoop Dogg and the biggest legends in hip-hop, we have the wide-ranging lineup that will help break records for this four-quadrant PPV event on April 17th,” Triller co-founder Bobby Sarnevesht said in a press release. 

“Triller has drawn from all its resources in the music world to deliver as epic a music event as ever there was.”

The Triller Fight Club event is similar the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. fight card, which featured Jake Paul’s viral knockout of former NBA player Nate Robinson. During that event, there were musical performances from Wiz Khalifa, French Montana, and Swae Lee. Snoop Dogg, who is co-owner of Triller Fight Club, also provided some hilarious commentary for the Tyson-Jones Jr. fight.

Other boxing matches on the April 17 Paul/Askren card include former UFC fighter Frank Mir versus former light heavyweight boxing champ Antonio Tarver and entrepreneur-turned-boxer Joe Fournier fighting musician Reykon. The event will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
