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.

Supermodel and former Maxim cover star Irina Shayk is making her debut as the new face of storied French lingerie brand Etam in a head-turning new campaign. Dubbed “J’Etam—a portmanteau of “Je t’aime” ( French for “I love you”) and the brand’s name, the new collection takes inspiration from “every form of love: romantic, familial, friendly, platonic, and above all, self-love.”

Shayk, who previously covered Maxim’s July/August 2014 issue and was celebrated in this year’s 30th anniversary edition of the Maxim Hot 100, appears in naturally lit, minimally staged images captured by New York-based photographer Brianna Capozzi. The Russian stunner dons a number of alluring lacy panties and bras, as well as other pieces that will be fully unveiled at an upcoming live show helmed by J’Etam artistic director Oliver Leone on September 30.

Shayk’s leading role at Etam is just the latest in a number of recent high-profile collabs with brands that include Helmut Lang, Marc Jacobs, Sport & Rich and Dolce & Gabbana. She also helped Vogue Brasil celebrate its 50th anniversary with a cover shot the day after Carnaval.

The Etam J’Etam collection modeled by Shayk is available to shop now here.

After 30 years of sizzling print issues, Maxim knows a thing or two about celebrating the world’s most tantalizing talents. The highly-anticipated annual Hot 100 temperature check of who’s rising in entertainment, fashion, pop culture, and sports has become a reader favorite—and with the smokeshows on these pages, it’s clear to see why. In honor of our milestone issue, which is covered by legendary supermodel Elle Macpherson, let’s hear it for three decades of scorching trailblazers who’ve heated up the magazine.

Alessandra Ambrosio

A Victoria’s Secret OG, this Brazilian knockout got her Angel wings back in 2004 and has been in our hearts ever since. The fashion icon and businesswoman’s memorable Maxim cover shoot in Monte Carlo for the December/January 2016 issue remains one of our all-time favorites.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley 

From a farm in rural England to the bright lights of Hollywood, RHW’s career was reaching new levels in 2011 when she heated up our July cover. Already prolific as a model and Victoria’s Secret Angel, her turn in the Transformers: Dark of the Moon blockbuster introduced her name—and pout—to an international audience. 

Sydney Sweeney 

Boasting talent and beauty in abundance, Sweeney is the breakthrough star of her generation. The Washington native’s impressive résumé  includes Emmy-nominated turns in Euphoria and The White Lotus, while her leading lady qualities, as seen in Anyone But You, have also proved to be box office gold.

Olivia Culpo

Since taking home the Miss Universe crown in 2012, Rhode Island-born Culpo, Maxim‘s sexiest woman of 2019, has parlayed that success into a career as a model, influencer, media personality, and restaurateur. The trained classical cellist is expecting her first child with her NFL star husband, Christian McCaffrey. 

Teyana Taylor  

This New Yorker was just 15-years-old when she got her big break in 2006, answering a call from Beyoncé to choreograph the music video for “Ring the Alarm.” The 2021  Maxim Hot 100 cover model is still sending temperatures rising as an award-winning actor, director, dancer, recording artist, model and reality TV star. Soon, she’ll play Dionne Warwick in an upcoming biopic about the singer.

Josephine Skriver

After being discovered as a teen on a soccer trip to America, this divine Dane was eventually catapulted to international fame when she became a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2016. Skriver, who has also been a face for Maybelline, Fendi, and Versace, made her Maxim cover debut on the September/October 2021 issue. These days, you’ll find her running activewear brand JoJa with bestie Jasmine Tookes. 

Saweetie

Grammy-nominated artist Saweetie made history when she became the first rapper to grace a Maxim cover. Since making her debut in the July/August 2020 issue, the Bay Area-born hitmaker, real name Diamonté Harper, has expanded her resume to include acting roles, reality TV cameos and a guest mentor appearance on The Voice.

Jasmine Sanders

When blue-green-eyed stunner Sanders and her sister coined the nickname “Golden Barbie,” they likely had no idea how far it would take her. Maxim’s November/December 2019 cover star is an in-demand name for the likes of Ralph Lauren, Just Cavalli and Bulgari, and she’s got over 6 million fans along for the ride on Instagram.

Ashley Graham

Trailblazing supermodel Ashley Graham fronted the Maxim Hot 100 in 2023. The bombshell is in demand as a runway regular, campaign star and media personality, having lent her bubbly personality to host coverage of Miss USA 2016, Miss Universe 2018, and ABC’s Countdown to the Oscars. The Nebraska-native has worked tirelessly to challenge beauty standards—her empowering TEDx talk on size inclusivity in the industry has been viewed more than 4.5 million times. 

Georgia Fowler

Plucked from New Zealand and landing in New York after being scouted as a teen, Fowler’s captivating face is a favorite of everyone from Chanel to Gap. The Kiwi, who covered Maxim’s March/April 2019 issue, recently tapped back into her Antipodean roots, teaming up with Australian brand Bond-Eye on her first swimwear collaboration.

Shanina Shaik

Hazel-eyed Shaik can thank her diverse background—an Australian-Lithuanian mom and Pakistani-Saudi dad—for blessing her with one of the most memorable faces in the biz. After slaying runways since 2009, Maxim’s May/June 2019 cover girl is immersed in her second act, co-hosting the wellness and lifestyle podcast Eighty Twenty.

Kate Love

The statuesque Canadian super added another feather to her cap when she fronted Maxim’s March/April 2020 issue. A sought-after model for the likes of Guess, Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated, her fairytale wedding to NBA star Kevin Love at the New York Public Library was breathlessly covered by Vogue. The couple welcomed their second child this year. 

Emily Ratajkowski

One of the world’s most recognizable models, Ratajkowski, aka EmRata, has many strings to her bow. The New York Times bestselling author has dabbled in acting, fashion design, and podcasting. Next up, catch her back on screens in Lena Dunham’s Netflix series Too Much, airing this summer. 

Alexandra Daddario

The All My Children alum was all grown up by the time she was reintroduced to audiences on Season 1 of The White Lotus. With a showreel that includes projects as varied as True Detective and Baywatch, the New Yorker and new mom is currently gracing screens in Mayfair Witches. 

Jasmine Tookes

California girl Tookes has spent nearly 15 years working the runways for every designer label you can think of—and is now increasingly designing collections of her own as her profile as an influencer is booming. Passionate about fitness and style, our February 2017 cover star helms the athleisure brand JoJa with fellow former Victoria’s Secret Angel Josephine Skriver.

Nina Agdal

This sports-loving Danish supermodel is entering another era, as her life as a new mom and fiancé to social media megastar Logan Paul is put under the microscope in the Max reality show Paul American. Agdal is no stranger to Maxim, having graced the March 2017 cover. 

Martha Hunt

Discovered at a local model search in North Carolina in 2004, Hunt’s career has taken her to dizzy heights ever since. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, who made Maxim’s cover in December 2017, is still booked and busy and launched a nonprofit focused on spinal health.

Devon Windsor

The traffic-stopping 5-foot-11 Midwesterner has parlayed over a decade of walking the runways for Chanel, Dior, Versace and Victoria’s Secret into the success of her eponymous brand. Following her Maxim cover debut back in October 2017, the brains beauty launched popular resort wear and activewear lines.

Lais Ribeiro

This Brazilian goddess had plans to be a nurse before the industry came knocking. Since her inaugural Victoria’s Secret fashion show in 2010, it hasn’t slowed down for Maxim’s September/October 2018 cover girl. Ribeiro and her husband, former Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah, recently welcomed their first baby together.

Hailey Bieber

When Maxim named Hailey Baldwin as the Hot 100 leader in 2017, the budding model discussed the advantages of dating a fellow celebrity. Fast forward to today, she’s married to Justin Bieber (with whom she welcomed a child last year). She’s also become one of the most successful models of her generation, with a burgeoning multi-million dollar skincare empire, Rhode, in her portfolio.

Elsa Hosk

From a former pro basketball player to a fashion darling. After acing her athletic career and becoming an internationally renowned supermodel, Swedish stunner Hosk has pivoted once more. Maxim’s February 2016 cover star is now dressing her fans around the world via her chic clothing label Helsa. 

Stella Maxwell

Standout Stella was anointed at the top of Maxim’s Hot 100 list in 2016. The Belgian-born, Northern Irish-New Zealand stunner has a portfolio as multi-faceted as her upbringing. When not walking the runway or gracing campaigns, you’ll find her running her luxury pet grooming products brand, PeroPero, or advocating for LGBTQIA causes. 

Sara Sampaio

The Gilles Bensimon-lensed cover of the Portuguese supermodel for Maxim’s May 2016 issue is as unforgettable as she is. This one-time mathematics major-turned-supermodel has achieved international fame as a face of Calzedonia, Victoria’s Secret, Armani Beauty, Moroccanoil and Graff.

Anne Vyalitsyna

Maxim’s September 2016 cover star, the striking, freckle-faced Russian known in the industry as “Anne V” is as busy as ever. Alongside regular runway appearances and countless cover shoots, she was recently revealed as a new face of Calvin Klein.  

Romee Strijd

When a 15-year-old Strijd decided to give modeling a proper shot, the phone never stopped ringing. A Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2015, the dreamy Dutchwoman fronted Maxim’s cover in October of the following year. These days, you’ll still find her on the runway most seasons, all while raising her two young daughters.   

Bregje Heinen

While pillow-pouted Dutch model Heinen still fronts fashion campaigns on the regular, she’s increasingly a presence on the big screen, gradually racking up acting and producing roles in Hollywood…exactly what she expressed a desire to do in the pages of Maxim’s September 2017 issue.

Barbara Palvin

Life has been good to Hungarian beauty Palvin since her December/January 2017 cover. She has since received her Victoria’s Secret Angel wings, inked ambassadorships Armani Beauty and Jimmy Choo, and even branched into acting.

Charli XCX

Summer 2024 might have been the pinnacle of this British chart-topper’s career to date, but even back in her smoking May 2015 cover story, we called her one of music’s brightest stars. Her multi-Grammy award-winning sixth studio album, Brat, became such a phenomenon last year, the Collins Dictionary named the term its word of the year. 

Candace Owens

Candace Owens is a bold voice we all recognize—fearless, sharp, and unapologetically herself. Whether she’s hosting her podcast or sharing her thoughts, Candace brings energy and style that make her one of today’s most recognizable and loved voices.

Emily DiDonato

DiDonato was destined for fame. After being discovered in a mall, she started out in the industry as a high schooler and her career took off almost instantly, with Maybelline and Armani booking the then-unknown face for major campaigns. The August 2015 cover star is still popping up on runways, in demand as a social media influencer, and presiding over a skincare brand she co-founded called Covey.

Isabeli Fontana

This beloved Brazilian beauty has been on the cover of Vogue 58 times—a great indicator of how incredibly in demand this model has been throughout her entire career. Maxim’s October 2015 cover star is every bit as smoldering and seductive a decade later.

Lily Aldridge

Since getting her break as a teen model for Abercrombie & Fitch, Aldridge has become one of the most steadily booked models of her generation. The April 2015 cover star has lent her captivating beauty to all the American greats, including Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Coach, J.Crew, Levi’s and J Brand. Fun fact: The Kings of Leon track “Sex on Fire” was written in her honor.

Elizabeth Hurley

Alongside her memorable roles in ‘90s and ‘00s comedies including Bedazzled, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and Serving Sara, the British leading lady has helmed her namesake swimwear line for two decades and has been a passionate ambassador for Breast Cancer awareness for 30 years. The posh multi-hyphenate made her Maxim cover debut in 2024, aged 59, when she topped the Hot 100 list.

Candice Swanepoel

With legs like stilts, the South African sensation is a graceful gazelle in front of the lens. Unsurprisingly, she topped our 2014 Hot 100 list and subsequently graced the March 2015 cover. These days, the former Angel has gone full-circle, as her swim brand Tropic of C has been tapped to collaborate with Victoria’s Secret. 

Léa Seydoux 

Maxim’s November 2015 siren is a darling of French art house cinema who has enjoyed mainstream success as a Bond Girl, a muse of Wes Anderson, a fashion model and a regular on best dressed lists. Ooh la la!

Gracie Hunt

Heartfelt Hunt is a sports-loving and philanthropic former Miss Kansas USA crown holder. The daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, the ambitious heiress, who covered the March/April 2023 issue, hinted that she may one day become the first-ever female NFL commissioner. Watch this space!

Eva Longoria

When the Texas-born Latina posed on the cover of Maxim’s September 2006 issue in a barely buttoned black shirt, she was at the height of her Desperate Housewives fame. Since then, she’s soared as a producer, philanthropist and activist. Longoria is also a joint owner of a women’s soccer team Angel City FC.  

Sophia Bush

Best known for her role as One Tree Hill’s Brooke Davis, Bush has appeared on two Maxim covers, most recently in April 2014. Lately, she’s busying herself as an angel investor, podcaster, activist and the co-founder of clothing platform Fashionkind.

Shay Mitchell

The Pretty Little Liars alum has parlayed her screen success into an impressive next chapter as a businesswoman. The brown-eyed girl, our February 2015 cover star, is the founder of fast-growing travel bag brand Béis, which reached $200 million in annual revenue in 2023. Boss behavior!

Jennifer Love Hewitt 

Did you know this star ties the record for the most Maxim covers ever? The actress and perennial pin-up has been a steady presence on screens for eons, thanks to cult-classic movies such as I Know What You Did Last Summer and Heartbreakers, as well as her lengthy turns on shows like 9-1-1, Criminal Minds, The Client List and Ghost Whisperer.

Lana Del Rey 

Since bursting onto the scene with a totally different sound and highly stylized look in comparison to her counterparts, this distinctive chanteuse has become a prevailing pop-culture presence. The Grammy-nominated musician made her Maxim debut on the cover of the December/January 2015  issue, following the release of her smash-hit album, Ultraviolence.

Beyoncé

Foxxy by name, foxy by nature. Already on the cusp of mega stardom, Bey’s gilded August 2002 cover arrived in tandem with her Hollywood debut as Austin Powers in Goldmember badass, Foxxy “Whole Lotta Woman” Cleopatra. In the ensuing decades, the boundary-breaking force has become the most-awarded and most-nominated artist in Grammy history.

Bella Hadid

An avid equestrian whose sleek strut and chiseled features have catapulted her to the top of the fashion industry, Hadid is the supermodel every casting director has on speed dial. Lately, she’s doubled down on her horse-loving roots, becoming a poster child for modern cowgirl style thanks to her romance with trainer Adan Banuelos.

Heather Graham

For the June 2013 issue, Graham dished on the then-newly released third installment of The Hangover franchise. It was the latest comedy role for the star, whose turn in seminal movies such as Boogie Nights, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Say It Isn’t So made her both a national treasure and endearing sex symbol.

Ashley Tisdale

“Dreams do come true”—so proclaimed the cover line running beside a smoking hot Ashley Tisdale in May 2013. And for the High School Musical alum, that means utilizing her global teen stardom in running the successful beauty line, Being Frenshe, and wellness platform, Frenshe. 

Ronda Rousey

Trailblazing athlete Ronda “Rowdy” Rousey was a total knockout on the cover of the September 2013 issue. As the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo, the inaugural female fighter to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, and the only woman to be both a UFC and WWE champ; it’s no surprise that the UFC CEO Dana White, called her “the woman who would change everything.”

Christina Aguilera

From 1990s Mickey Mouse Club kid to smoldering pop star, the Staten Island-born Grammy winner’s January 2003 cover shot in water was pinned on bedroom walls across the country. The “Dirrty” performer, who also appeared on the October 2013 cover, was named as one of “The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time” by Rolling Stone.  

Katy Perry

Even before she went to space, Perry’s profile on Earth was stratospheric. Back in January 2011 when she sizzled in lace and leather on our cover, Perry was on-track to becoming one of the best-selling recording artists of all time. She made history soon after when five songs from the Teenage Dream album hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100; a first for a female artist.

Jessica Alba

The Dark Angel star’s breakout 2000 Maxim cover propelled the then-19-year-old’s status as one of Hollywood’s hottest names to watch. Since then, Alba landed on the cover two more times, all while building her personal care company, The Honest Company, into a billion-dollar business.

Camille Kostek

The Connecticut-born all-American beauty got her start as an NFL cheerleader for the New England Patriots before making waves as a model, TV host, actress, and social media personality. The body positivity advocate graced Maxim’s May/June 2024 pages after years of manifesting the opportunity, calling the cover story “an honor.” 

Sarah Shahi

This captivating Iranian-American actress had wound her way into viewers’ homes thanks to The L Word and Fairly Legal by the time she starred on our October 2012 cover. A decade later, she blew up all over again thanks to the NSFW Netflix sensation Sex/Life. Shahi is currently giving fans something new to fantasize about as Dr. Gabriela Torabi on Paradise.

Anna Paulina Luna

The Republican congresswoman and Air Force veteran is one of the youngest members of the House—and a trailblazing Latina representative to boot, as the first Mexican-American woman elected to represent Florida in Congress. Luna made her Maxim debut in 2014, and a decade later, she was back to claim our November/December 2024 cover.  

Margot Robbie

After getting her start in Australian soap Neighbours, Robbie hit the big time when she was cast in The Wolf of Wall Street. An advocate for greenlighting movies that empower women, her influential production company LuckyChap Entertainment backed I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, Boston Strangler,  and, of course, the international smash hit that was 2023’s Barbie.

Kaley Cuoco

Her role as the sassy, low-rise jeans-wearing teen Bridget Hennessy on 8 Simple Rules put Cuoco on the map—and her 12-year run as The Big Bang Theory’s Penny kept her there. The March 2010 cover girl also voiced Harley Quinn in the animated namesake TV series.

Tyra Banks

As the first African American woman to be featured on the covers of GQ and the Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue, this Los Angeles native had already achieved supermodel status by the 1990s. Banks, who was also one of the original Victoria’s Secret Angels and a longtime face of CoverGirl cosmetics, cemented her global fame as the host and executive producer of America’s Next Top Model. For our August 2000 issue, she appeared alongside Coyote Ugly co-star Izabella Miko.  

Olivia Wilde

Wilde was 2009’s Hot 100 frontrunner. The Hollywood heavyweight is increasingly busying herself behind the camera, having directed Booksmart and Don’t Worry Darling. Soon she’ll appear opposite Charli XCX in the erotic thriller I Want Your Sex.

Anna Kournikova

When we called the Russian tennis ace the “sexiest sports star in history”—we meant it. Featured on Maxim covers four times, Kournikova’s October 2010 feature even came with a free pair of 3D specs to bring her beachy shoot to life in a whole new way.

Cameron Diaz 

The household name, crowned 2011’s Hot 100 leader, came out of retirement this year after a decade-long break to co-star with Jamie Foxx in Back in Action. One of the most highly regarded actresses of her generation, you can also enjoy Diaz responsibly at home via her popular organic wine brand Avaline.

Megan Fox

Two-time cover star Megan Fox knows how to get us excited. It’s been more than 15 years since the jaw-dropping actress blew our minds in the cult-classic horror flick Jennifer’s Body, and rumor has it, a sequel may even be in the works. 

Lindsay Lohan

LiLo posed up a storm on steamy Maxim covers in September 2007 and September 2010. A fixture in the industry since she was knee-high to a grasshopper, the fiery redhead took a lengthy break from acting only to reappear in 2022 with a run of rom-coms—and a Freaky Friday revisit—regaining her crown all over again.

Nicole Scherzinger

“Don’t Cha” wish your girlfriend was hot like…Nicole Scherzinger? You bet. The July 2010 cover sensation and former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman made her Broadway debut this past year, blowing critics out of the water as Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd. 

Angelina Jolie

The Oscar winner’s mesmerizing face stared back from the cover of our December 2006 issue, in which we proclaimed her Woman of the Year. The humanitarian recently captivated audiences as she took on the role of opera singer Maria Callas in the eponymous critically acclaimed biopic. 

Jessica Simpson

The three-time cover star—and 2004’s Hot 100 slam dunk—cemented herself in the MTV reality TV canon with unforgettable one liners (“chicken or fish?”) on the early aughts show Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica. The chart-topping singer’s unforgettable appearance as Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard remake also had denim hotpants top of mind. The Texan is regarded as one of the first celebrities to build a billion-dollar fashion brand, which you’ll find everywhere from Amazon to Macy’s.

Jaime King

April 2008’s smokeshow cover star was Sin City star Jaime King. The actress and filmmaker recently returned to her modeling roots, walking the Roberto Cavalli catwalk during Milan Fashion Week earlier this year. 

Cindy Crawford

No one has ever looked at a can of Pepsi the same since Crawford’s 1992 Super Bowl commercial. One of the women who helped forge the term “supermodel,” the Midwesterner was the first fashion model to appear nude in Playboy. Our December 2005 cover star’s pursuits include helming fitness videos, TV hosting, running a skincare line and forever remaining a staple of campaigns. 

Sara Foster

When a white lingerie-clad Foster graced the April 2005 cover, the then-model was riding the wave of Hollywood fame after her role in action comedy D.E.B.S. These days, she’s a successful investor and media personality. Foster runs the fashion label Favorite Daughter with her sister Erin, whose hit show Nobody Wants This she also produced.

Eva Mendes

Although she retired from acting over a decade ago, the Hitch honey is still a subject of endearing fascination. The ultra-private star, who graced two Maxim covers in 2007, is married to actor Ryan Gosling, co-owns a successful kitchen cleaning tool brand, and recently wrote a children’s book available in English and Spanish versions.

Josie Maran

Beauty has been the throughline in Maran’s life. The stunning mogul, whose trailblazing clean skincare brand debuted in 2007, was synonymous with Maybelline commercials in the late 1990s and 2000s. At the time of her May 2004 cover, Maran was about to become a crush for fantasy-lovers everywhere after featuring as one of Dracula’s brides, Marishka, in Van Helsing. 

Sarah Michelle Gellar

A pint-sized pinup of the 1990s, Gellar’s IMDB page reads like a list of the most iconic movies of the decade, among them Cruel Intentions, Scream 2, and She’s All That. The Buffy babe, who slayed on the December 2007 cover, is set to reprise her unforgettable role when a long-awaited reboot comes to life in 2026.

Kristen Bell

On her March 2006 cover, we declared Bell “TV’s Hottest P.I.” The national treasure has been a familiar and consistent presence on screens ever since, thanks to Veronica Mars and Gossip Girl. Her recent lead role in Nobody Wants This, about dating in adulthood, had audiences falling in love with her all over again.

Daniela Botero

Colombian knockout Daniela Botero is the real deal—model, actress, and total stunner with those unforgettable green eyes. She’s graced the cover of Maxim USA, lit up international runways, and somehow makes elegance look effortless. From Paris to New York, she’s been winning hearts (and covers) all over the world.

Gina Gershon

You could say Gershon was Bound to be famous. Ever since her role in kitschy classic Showgirls, Gershon has been one of the most consistently cast character actresses of her generation. Our October 2003 beauty is also a published writer, having penned a memoir and a children’s book.

Shakira

The sexy “She Wolf” whose “Hips Don’t Lie.” Colombia native Shakira was propelled to international fame with her first English-language album Laundry Service in 2001. The pint-sized star was smoldering in cowgirl-style getup on the July 2002 cover before she went on to become the best-selling female Latin artist ever. 

Lucy Liu + Drew Barrymore

July 2003’s cover was a scorcher. The Charlie’s Angels heavenly trinity of Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu were heaven-sent in white swimwear in line with the blockbuster sequel’s summer release. Lately, Liu (who also graced our September 2002 cover) has flexed her horror chops in Steven Soderbergh’s Presence, while child star-turned-multi-hyphenate Barrymore has turned her attention to everything from producing to launching lifestyle brands and hosting daytime TV. 

Kate Upton

After going viral for dancing in a video uploaded by a friend to YouTube in 2011, Upton’s subsequent ascent as a high-fashion model helped to break the mold. With curves and a smile reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe, the girl next door was quickly christened “America’s Favorite Bombshell” by Vogue. In 2018, she made her Maxim debut when she topped the Hot 100 list.

Paris Hilton

“That’s hot!” Behind the Y2K socialite and hotel heiress’s bubbly persona is a formidable businesswoman, who arguably carved out the job description for today’s influencers. The Simple Life starlet fronted the April 2004 issue in butterfly-embroidered bikini bottoms, with the coverlines notably referring to her infamous leaked sex tape. 

Pamela Anderson

The Playmate of our times, “Pammy” has more Playboy covers under her belt than anyone else. In September 1999, Anderson was reflecting on a decade that saw her become the “Tool Time” girl, Baywatch’s beloved C.J. Parker, and the most talked-about figure in the world. In recent years, the cultural icon has gone au naturel, eschewing makeup and reclaiming her narrative with the release of a popular memoir and documentary about her life, lovers and legacy.

Mariah Carey

The diva extraordinaire with a five-octave vocal range made her Maxim debut on the September 2003 cover. One of the most influential singers of all time, the New Yorker is known for hitting some of the highest notes ever sung by a human. 

Halle Berry

In July 2000, a pixie-cropped Halle Berry sizzled along with her X-Men co-stars Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn. Just two years later, she became the first Black woman to win an Academy Award for Best Actress for her unforgettable role in Monster’s Ball. She’s still the only female star to claim this feat. Alongside making movies, Berry is increasingly getting involved as an angel investor in the women’s health space.

Jennifer Esposito

This born-and-bred New Yorker covered the November 1998 issue in the midst of her Spin City heyday. Ever since, the Italian-American actress has been minted as TV royalty, thanks to a resume overflowing with roles on shows like Samantha Who?, Law & Order, NCIS, The Affair, and Blue Bloods. 

Helena Christensen

This former Miss Denmark has been modeling since the tender age of 9. Almost 50 years later, the striking brunette has retained her crown as a catwalk mainstay, while juggling successful pursuits as a photographer and fashion entrepreneur. The brunette beauty starred on the cover of Maxim in July 1996, famously smoking a cigarette in her lingerie.

Mila Kunis

Los Angeles-raised Ukraine-native Mila Kunis was made for stardom. At just 14-years-old, she lied about her age in an audition which would ultimately bag her the career-making role of Jackie Burkhart on That ’70s Show. Over two decades since her October 2002 cover, the doe-eyed beauty is still one of the hottest names in Hollywood. 

Carmen Electra

Three-time Maxim cover star Electra got her start as a muse for her ex-boyfriend, Prince. By the late 1990s, she’d become a bonafide celebrity following her glamour model posing for Playboy, a brief stint on Baywatch, and a hosting gig on MTV’s Singled Out. The former Pussycat Dolls member and Scary Movie star, whose marriage to Dave Navarro was the subject of the reality show Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen + Dave, is cemented in pop culture history.

Salma Hayek

The barrier-breaking Latina sensation showed off another side to her when she sizzled on the cover of the May 1997 UK edition of Maxim. The feature came after the scene-stealing stunner found mainstream success in Hollywood thanks to pictures like Desperado and Fools Rush In. Also a prolific producer, the actress will next be seen in the action comedy Sacrifice.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

The sole female Oscar winner from Wales heated up the July/August 1998 UK edition of Maxim. At the time, the raven-haired temptress was at the peak of her Zorro fame. Zeta-Jones will be back on screens soon in a new Prime Video revenge thriller series about a swindler.

Smoldering on both her May 2001 and March 2009 covers, the Bostonian has since pivoted from Hollywood to become a certified therapist in a bid to revolutionize trauma care. 

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’s revival was absolutely angelic. After a six-year hiatus, the lingerie-clad spectacle returned in 2024 with what could be the most diverse selection of models ever to strut the brand’s catwalk.

Multiple reports are circulating that Brady and Shayk may be an item after paparazzi captured images of the pair getting cozy in the NFL icon’s Rolls-Royce over the weekend.

According to the New York Post and TMZ, Brady was seen driving Shayk to his Los Angeles pad from the posh Hotel Bel-Air on Friday.

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback then reportedly dropped the Russian-born beauty off at the hotel on Saturday morning before returning to pick her up later in the day.

While there are no official confirmation of the budding relationship, the Post adds that Shayk reportedly showed great interest in Brady at the June wedding of billionaire art world heir Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick.

News of the alleged romance comes shortly after rumors emerged that Brady and Kim Kardashian had struck up a friendship. The SKIMS founder and Brady were spotted chatting at Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin’s annual Fourth of July party in the Hamptons, per Elle.

However, the Kardashian-Brady romantic connection was based almost entirely on second-hand reports that Kardashian and Brady were “standing close to” and “flirting with” one another. Shayk and Brady’s alleged relationship seems more likely, given the affection shown in paparazzi pics.

Shayk has a history of dating high-profile men. She had a long-term relationship with soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo from 2009 to 2015 and shares a six-year-old daughter with actor/director Bradley Cooper, whom she dated from 2015 to 2019. She was also briefly linked to Kanye West in 2021.

Brady and Bundchen, who were married for 13 years, share a 13-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter. Brady also has a 15-year-old son from his relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.

The veteran model and former Maxim cover star, 37, recently dropped what appears to be her most-liked Instagram post of 2023 so far: a carousel featuring three bikini-clad selfies and idyllic snaps from an unknown beach.

Shayk showed some self-aware humor in the caption, writing, “Thirst Day on a Sunday.” As fellow supermodels like Elsa Hosk and Natasha Poly replied with fire emojis, over 790,000 IG users tapped the “heart” button.

Compared to all other posts with like counts enabled, the steamy collage has proven her most popular post of the year, the runner-up being a striking runway shot featuring Shayk with an faux lion’s head crafted from wool, silk and foam.

As for how Shayk perennially keeps that beach body ready with sculpted abs, legs and arms, she pursues a number of athletic interests.

She previously told People, “I do boxing, I do a little jiu-jitsu which I am obsessed with.” And speaking to Women’s Health, Shayk added that she abhors running and selects workouts accordingly.

“I hate traditional cardio,” she said. “Running is my worst nightmare, so I’ve had to find something I enjoy that gets me all the calorie-burning benefits of cardio without boring me to death.”

Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Vol. 3 lingerie fashion show looks just as sexy as the singer-turned-mogul’s past Amazon Prime extravaganzas. 

Ahead of the September 24 premiere of her third annual lingerie show on Amazon Prime Video, the 33-year-old superstar and Forbes-anointed world’s richest female musician—has dropped a steamy trailer for the supermodel-studded show.

The special also features musical performances by Nas, Daddy Yankee, BIA, Jazmine Sullivan, Ricky Martin, Normani, and Jade Novah.

It debuts on Amazon Prime on Friday September 24, the same day that Ri-Ri’s sultry collection is available to shop in the Amazon Fashion Store and at Savage X Fenty.

Launched in 2018, Rihanna’s lingerie empire hit a $1 billion valuation earlier this year. Check out the new trailer for Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3 above. 

For this year’s Hot 100 portfolio, we chose to reevaluate our criteria for the dawn of a new era. While the list has previously consisted almost entirely of models, the balance of pulchritudinal power has shifted. While physical beauty is still an important part of the equation, our attraction algorithm takes many more factors into account. 

From athletes to entrepreneurs, entertainers and influencers, these women represent the leading lights in their chosen endeavors, setting an example for us all. Change is a good thing, we think you’ll agree.

Kanye West is apparently dating Irina Shayk while his divorce from Kim Kardashian is ongoing. 

Multiple sources speaking to the New York Post confirmed there is a definite romantic link between the superstar rapper and former Maxim cover model.

“Kanye and Irina are seeing each other. It’s casual at the moment, but they are into each other,” one insider shared. “It’s been going on for a few weeks now.”

While they’ve only been seeing each other for a short time, they have history. 

Shayk appeared in West’s 2010 music video for “Power” and walked in his Paris Fashion Week show two years later, the Post reports. 

West also named-dropped Shayk in the 2010 song “Christian Dior Denim Flow,” years before he married Kardashian.
