So far, our Best of the 2000s series has produced some heated debates, but all that was a warm up for our latest list. Who is the hottest girl from the last 10 years? We’re about to crown a winner.

You’ve seen our sexy cover stories, so you already know Complex is an expert on attractive female celebrities. But out of all the dimes from the last decade, which ones left a truly lasting impression? We’ve assembled a comprehensive countdown of The 100 Hottest Women of the 2000s, featuring everyone from mega pop stars to First Ladies. We got ‘em all. Let the arguments begin…

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Escort

Once a good girl's gone bad, she's gone forever. Need proof? Look no further than Ashley Dupré. She ran away from her privileged Jersey suburb to NYC at 17 and was working as an escort by 19. A few years later, she found herself at the center of the prostitution scandal that brought down New York governor Eliot Spitzer. Even crazier, Girls Gone Wild footage of an underage Dupré surfaced after the story broke. Some may call her trashy, but with an hourly rate of $5,500, we prefer to call her economically sound.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Being crowned "the most famous hooker in America" by The Village Voice after she was outed as Elliot Spitzer's side piece. 'Round here we call that a FAIL.

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Actress

They say don't judge a book by its cover, but we'd be lying if we didn't go see The Unborn solely off the strength of the movie poster. Was the movie good? We can't remember, but son, did you see that poster? Future scream queen for sure.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Screaming her head off in J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield. We'd love to make her holler.

Age (circa 2009): 23
Occupation: Singer

Forget Jamie Lynn Spears and Ashley Simpson—the crown for coolest (and hottest) pop star sibling has to go Beyonce's baby sis. Unlike the robotic drone of her sister, the single mother isn't afraid to admit she has vices: weed and Corona. As soon as she grows her hair back, we're back on it!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Managing to briefly creep out from under her sisters shadow with her decent second album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams.

Age (circa 2009): 34
Occupation: Actress

Straight up, if Christina ever wanted a career as a pole dancer (we'd go with "Red Sonya" as a stage name), she'd sell out clubs nationwide. The Mad Men secretary got stacks like IHOP; we just want to know if she'll sip on our sizzurp.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Bringing curves back to the mainstream—and not just any curves. Homegirl's like a Mobius Strip x a spiral staircase.

Age (circa 2009): 27
Occupation: Actress

Nevermind the forgettable movies she's made. Let's talk about how this former model has let the twos breathe whenever she's had the chance for the better part of a decade. And for that we thank her. You gotta do something when your husband publicly admits to hittin' off your nanny. Whatever works, baby girl.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Each and every time she's liberated the twos on the beach, in the street, in a movie, or any place she felt comfortable enough to show some nip.

Age (circa 2009): 30
Occupation: Video Model/Dancer

All hail the queen! Of music videos, that is. Be honest: Before Glo came around, no one knew video girls by name. But after starring in the biggest videos of the 2000's (Jay-Z' "Big Pimpin", DMX "What These Bitches Want") she became a household name.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Besides making "video girl" a viable profession, Ms. Velez completely embarrassed Joe Budden in this classic YouTube video

Age (circa 2009): 31
Occupation: Actress

We didn't catch any of the other movies she starred in this decade—except Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, anyway—but that doesn't matter. All we needed to see was her in the form-fitting Silk Spectre uniform in the film adaptation of Watchmen. Does it matter that the best part of the movie had her bare-assed with the uniform on the ground? Not to us.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Becoming the first woman to get hit off in the Owl ship.

Age (circa 2009): 36
Occupation: Actress

What, you thought her career was over once she dropped the Stamos? Ha! After dumping that lame, she became our favorite mutant in the X-Men trilogy when she traded clothes for prosthetics and body paint to become Mystique. Them twos certainly have mystique.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Playing the hottest transsexual, ever, on Ugly Betty. Take that how ever you want.

Age (circa 2009): 27
Occupation: Actress/Model

Devon didn't have to go into modeling or acting—her fam was already paid off her dad's ownership of Benihana—but she was way too bad not to. After replacing Naomi Campbell as the face of Versace at 16, Devon spent the 2000s modeling for everyone: Chanel, Couture by Karl Lagerfeld, Versace, YSL, and, of course, Baby Phat. She also made her silver screen debut in the hood classic Death of a Dynasty. Sky's the limit, baby girl.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Playing the token Asian girl in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Age (circa 2009): 39
Occupation: Actress

Ever since she appeared in John Singleton's Baby Boy, the D.C. native, who's not afraid to turn the sexy on, has become one of the most sought after actress in Hollywood, even netting an Oscar nomination for her role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
It was criminally slept on, but Taraji showed she can be as sexy as the rest of 'em in 2007's Talk to Me.

Age (circa 2009): 38
Occupation: Actress

This voluptuous vixen has been putting in work since the '80s, but a whole new generation of fanboys got a chance to appreciate her curves when she popped up in a bunch of dope roles. She's usually pegged as a cougar, but that's one cat we wouldn't mind stroking.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Appearing as Vinnie Chase's sexually frustrated agent in season 3 of Entourage. We would have mixed business with pleasure...over and over and over again.

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Rapper

Lauryn Hill is strung out, Lil' Kim is dancing with the stars, Foxy Brown is deaf (what? she's not deaf anymore?) and Lil' Mama is, well, Lil' Mama. Holding the torch for female rap is Weezy's newest Young Money signee, the so-sexy-she-might-be-edible Queens representative Nicki Minaj.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Bringing her curves (and mic skills) all around this glorious nation on Lil' Wayne's Young Money Music Festival.

Age (circa 2009): 26
Occupation: Actress

Cuthbert's filmography is far from flawless, but this Canadian puck bunny won us over playing Luke Wilson's underage jumpoff in Old School and a porn star in The Girl Next Door (not to mention Jack Bauer's daughter in 24). Sure, she uses body doubles for nude scenes, but that's nothing our active imaginations can't work around.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Caused a huge NHL controversy when her hockey-playing ex Sean Avery shit on her and her current hockey playing boyfriend Dion Phaneuf, saying, "It's become a common thing for guys in the NHL to fall in love with my sloppy seconds." Shit, we'd take nasty ninths on that.

Age (circa 2009): 27
Occupation: Singer

Mary J. Blige can't hold it down forever, so next up to carry to the guttural R&B torch is the two-riffic Oakland representative. Besides the beauty and breasts, we love Keyshia 'cause she puts on for her fam: Who else besides Kim K has gotten her crazy relatives their own reality show?

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
The video for her 2008 single "Heaven Sent." Looking at her endowments lets us know there is a God.

Age (circa 2009): 23
Occupation: Actress

No longer jailbait, the girl who turned down modeling because "there's no talent involved" has managed to get herself into a string of movies (six being released this year alone). If she keeps her nose clean, she may very well wind up on our retrospective next decade too.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Playing Seth Rogan's high school girlfriend in Pineapple Express. You know what they say: if there's grass on the infield...Nevermind.

Age (circa 2009): 36
Occupation: Actress

We love the accent, we love the smile, but most of all, we love that the British siren looks so damn good while she's killing people. Break us off a piece of that sweet shepherd's pie!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Managing single-handedly (or at least single-skintightsuitedly) to make Underworld a money-making franchise.

Age (circa 2009): 25
Occupation: Actress

Besides possessing classic film starlet looks, unlike a lot of these other pretty faces populating Hollywood, Olivia Wilde can actually act. Since her breakout role in Alpha Dogs, Olivia has steadily built the foundation for a career that will last when (or if) the looks fade. It also helps that she changed her surname from Cockburn to Wilde. Just sayin'.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
We knew she was a rider when she played Johnny Truelove's down-ass chick in Alpha Dogs. When the money goes, will the honeys stay? Olivia would.

Age (circa 2009): 27
Occupation: Athlete

Currently the world's second-best female tennis player (but the #1 most paid), Serena has dominated the sport for the past decade, winning Wimbeldon four times and brining home two Olympic gold medals. It's enough to make us forgive her for dating Brett Ratner.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Winning both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2009. She's da best, mayne!

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Actress

After two horrible video-game movie adaptations, Olga found herself starring alongside Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace as the baddest Bond girl since Halle Berry emerged from the ocean dripping wet.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Making us lust after a Bond chick once again.

Age (circa 2009): 38
Occupation: Actress

Since we fell in love with her in Love & Basketball, Stan's beautiful daughter has managed to not only better her career with tasteful, bank-generating roles, she's become best friends with two of the baddest actresses in the game: Nia Long and Gabrielle Union. No byrd gang here, Capo.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Finding the fountain of youth somewhere in Miami and sharing it with Gabrielle Union. Forever young, word to Alphaville Mr. Hudson.

Age (circa 2009): 29
Occupation: Actress/Singer

Before she became a Complex cover girl, the L.A.-based actress known for her deadpan delivery and alluring eyes was already killing it in Hollywood with roles in classics like Almost Famous and Elf. We hear she also sings or something, but we won't hold that against her.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Besides gracing the cover of Complex, she was spot-on as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's cold-hearted love interest in (500) Days of Summer.

Age (circa 2009): 34
Occupation: Actress

Her stint as a busty Velma Dinkley in Scooby Doo aside, the former ER star has scored numerous cool points throughout her career with roles that paint her as a funny, cute, down-to-earth chick. To wit: her genius-turned-freak in Judd Apatow's Freaks and Geeks.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
We were ready to drop to one knee after watching her do karaoke to "Push It" in Grandma's Boy.

Age (circa 2009): 20
Occupation: Actress/Singer/Model

Vanessa Hudgens almost didn't make it onto our list. But how could we deny the girl who shook the entire Disney teenybopper world to its core when the nude photos she sent to her boyfriend got ousted online? If she was a few years older, we'd wife that.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
We haven't seen any of the High School Musicals, but we did catch the flicks that were meant for Zac Efron.

Age (circa 2009): 23
Occupation: Actress

Given the fact that she was born while her mother was in prison for participating in a weed smuggling ring, we have to say that (crappy duets with Cobra Starship notwithstanding) Leighton Meester has done pretty well for herself. After bouncing from TV show to TV show, she finally found a hit with Gossip Girl, where she consistently steals the show as the evil (and sexy) Blair Waldorf.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Playing a virginous pop star on Entourage.

Age (circa 2009): 30
Occupation: Singer

She dipped in and out of the spotlight during the Aughts, but this cool Canadian chick always made a lasting impression with her unique voice and impeccable looks. Judging from her most recent public appearance, we've got another name to add to the MILF list.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Resurrecting Timbaland's career with her stellar 2006 album Loose.

Age (circa 2009): 36
Occupation: Actress

After dropping out of Charlie's Angels to finish playing Tom Cruise's dazzling dime in Mission Impossible II, the biracial London-born actress dominated the Aughts in low-key fashion, thanks to roles as diverse as her ethnic makeup.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Her on-camera skills are dope, but we were taken aback in 2008 when she admitted to having a lesbian relationship when she was 16 in an interview with The Advocate.

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Actress

Two words: Meadow Soprano. Thanks to the epochal HBO series, the NYC native became the ultimate DILF: Daughter I'd Like to (De)Flower. We thought she'd fallen off the face of the earth until she joined the cast of Entourage to play Turtle's (played by her real-life boyfriend Jerry Ferrara) girlfriend. It's like Chris Rock said after Janet Jackson got with Jermaine Dupri: We all had a chance!

Age (circa 2009): 25
Occupation: Singer/Reality TV Star

Aubrey came outta nowhere to parlay a MTV reality-show role into a couple platinum albums and tabloid infamy. Her whole persona as a floozy is as calculated as a rapper's hard act for the cameras. We know the real deal-and we could care less, as long as she keeps flashing them twos.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Appearing on one of the most controversial (but ASME nominated!) Complex covers of all time.

Age (circa 2009): 25
Occupation: Music Video Model

Think back to 2004. You're watching some TV, minding your own business. Then the "Freek-A-Leek" video comes on, and TADOW!—you're obsessed with the busty chick in the blue: a Ms. Esther Baxter. Huh, we never realized that "obsessed" rhymes with "breast." Well, she sure do have some nice obsessedesses!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Making rap videos in the mid-'00s—Petey Pablo's "Freek A Leek", and Nelly's "Shake Ya Tailfeather"—much, much better.

Age (circa 2009): 27
Occupation: Renaissance Woman

The ultimate combination of down ass chick and world class beauty, the Big O knows comics, sports, and video games, but looks better than Phoebe Cates in a red swimsuit. From her humble beginnings as the host of G4's Attack Of The Show, to her career defining Complex cover (*wink*) to multiple feature films next year, including the Tina Fey helmed Date Night and Broken Lizard's Slammin' Salmon, Olivia's star is heading in one direction, and quick.

Age (circa 2009): 31
Occupation: Singer/Dancer

Nicole and the Pussycats are like LeBron and the Cavs, back when they sucked. In short: a one-woman team. Her solo career never took off, but maybe Nicole should take a lesson from Bron—get some better teammates, ma!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
She's sold millions of records with the Pussycat dolls, but her real come up, besides being a Complex cover girl, was getting wifed up by the future of Formula 1 racing, Lewis Hamilton.

Age (circa 2009): 21
Occupation: Adult Video Star

Sure Sasha Grey was 11 when the Aughts began (think about that, pervert), but her work in the past two years in the adult film industry has done more for men's imaginations than most who have come before her. She might not be as smart as she and the rest of the world might hope, but she can act like she's enjoying it somethin' fierce.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Transcending the adult industry by starring in The Roots' "Birthday Girl" video and Steven Soderberg's The Girlfriend Experience.

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Model

Put in finishing school while she was still playing with Barbies, the half Portuguese, half Singaporean Australian was basically reared from birth to be a model. And it shows. Since starring in the hit TV show Bush Patrol Jessica has appeared in ads for Victoria's Secret, Gap and on the cover this fine publication.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Appearing covered in nothing but body paint in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Age (circa 2009): 33
Occupation: Actress

When Sacha Baron Cohen isn't dressed up like Borat or Bruno, this is the chick he comes home to, and if she's anything like the nympho she played in Wedding Crashers, Cohen is a lucky lucky man. The laugh out loud inducing Isla had moderate success as an actress, but as far as red heads go these days, she's atop of the food chain. Respek, word to Ali G.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Received a MTV movie award for her breakthrough role in Wedding Crashers.

Age (circa 2009): 35
Occupation: Adult Video Star

Blonde Barbie doll Jenna was the biggest paid sex worker in the biz and even managed to cross over into mainstream, doing film work and creating her own comic. All this and she never did anal or interracial, which is of course to say that she's not very big at our crib.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Rather than list the numerous videos we've come to adore her in, we'll be classy and say her top moment in the Aughts came in 2000 when she became a business, and launched ClubJenna.com

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Actress

Complex fell in love with Freida when we first screened Slumdog and gave her her first look in an American magazine, the Dec/Jan 2008-issue "Hot Complex." Now she's the new face of L'Oreal and working with Woody Allen. Coincidence? We think not.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
The Indian model's first movie ever was this little indie joint Slumdog Millionaire. You may have heard of it when it was bhangra dancing away with eight Oscars at the 2008 Academy Awards.

Age (circa 2009): 31
Occupation: Model

She's every troglodyte frat boy's favorite beat piece, but we won't hold that against her (mostly because we've got something else we'd want to hold against her). Seriously though—a real sweetheart surfer girl who's got maybe the greatest pair of natural twos on the planet? We'd do a keg-stand to that.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Two words: Body Paint.

Age (circa 2009): 30
Occupation: Singer

The "wild, singing chick with the hair" first caught our attention back in '99 with her crazy, man hating single "Caught Out There," and continued to produce some of the most distinctive R&B/pop music of the 2000's. Unfortunately, none of it sold. No wonder she's cleaning Nas out of house and home. Trifey turned wifey turned trifey?

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Divorcing Nas while pregnant with their son, then promptly taking Nasir to the cleaners. We bet he hates her so much right now.

Age (circa 2009): 34
Occupation: Model

We're not sure of the best way to describe this uninhibited top-heavy pinup, so we'll take a cue from the Internet and call her the sexiest softcore model of all time. At the very least, she's evidence in favor of the "Czech Girls Are Behind Global Warming" theory. It's Super(human) Twosday!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
She was apparently on the cover of French Playboy in 2001. Wait, there are still skin magazines?

Age (circa 2009): 35
Occupation: Actress

On Battlestar Galactica, where she played a human who was later revealed to be a robot (or Cylon) model, Park made the most intriguing story of man vs. machine since the invention of Sybian porn.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Before GQ and all the other mags picked up on her, we threw Grace park on the cover of our June/July '08 issue. FIRST!

Age (circa 2009): 40
Occupation: Actress

The former "Friends" star took a major L when Angelina Jolie told her, "Brad's just not that into you," but Jennifer Aniston managed to save face by dropping a couple number one movies and somehow getting her body to look better than it did in '94.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Well all knew she was a little 7:30, but we gave her a pass after she played Tina Fey's man crazy, party going friend in 30 Rock.

Age (circa 2009): 26
Occupation: Singer/Songwriter

Keri Hilson's a triple threat: She sings, she writes and she's absolutely, positively, undoubtedly bad. Exhibit A: Our 2009 Style & Design issue that had the sultry songstress all oiled up on the cover. Her solo career may just have started but we don't see anyone taking her, uh, shine anytime soon.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Her 2009 Style & Design cover had the Internet buzzin'! Don't take our word for it, ask Soulja Boy: "Just picked up complex mag with @misskeribaby on the front. o my goodness!!!"

Age (circa 2009): 23
Occupation: Adult Video Star

If you thought Asian girls don't have curves, you need to check out a Maria Ozawa production immediately. Half Japanese, half French-Canadian, Maria has perfect Eurasian features. Maybe that's why she brings in an estimated $8,000 a month.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Shooting her first lesbian scene in 2008. Diversification is key!

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Singer

Even if her name is getting changed to Mrs. Nash, we can't deny that Christina is always in the conversation. Dime face, tight body—fuck the hairstyle, we're still on board.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Milian's always been sexy, but we didn't know just how sexy until we peeped her "Dip It Low" video. All we know is Nick Cannon and Dre lost.

Age (circa 2009): 39
Occupation: TV Host

Padma began her career as a model when she was discovered sitting in a cafè in Spain. She's 39 now, but like Jay-Z she's still the best at what she does. Nowadays, scar or no scar, we salivate over her on Bravo's Top Chef. A model chick who's walk is mean, and gets cookin' up in the kitchen? Sounds like the ultimate wifey to us.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Actually receiving an Emmy nomination for "hosting" Top Chef.

Age (circa 2009): 25
Occupation: Model

You know the story: Girl has enormous cans, girl gets photographed while sunbathing, girl becomes phenomenally popular British pinup. Of course, we could have stopped at the "enormous cans" part. She's one of the few women on this list who actually made us say "giggedy giggedy!"

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Smuggling two obese puppies under her sweater into the U.S. of A.

Age (circa 2009): 29
Occupation: Actress

A former video girl (Jay-Z's "Streets is Watching," LL Cool J's "Hush"), Dania parlayed her momentum into a number of movie and television roles including X-Men: The Last Stand and Heroes, for which she was nominated for a American Latino Media Arts Award. Who said video girls couldn't get far?

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Playing Kerry Washington's girlfriend in Spike Lee's She Hate Me. All we want to know: Is she really in girls like we are? Let's be hooonest.

Age (circa 2009): 34
Occupation: Actress

There's something about Charli. Maybe it's the fact that she's one of the top 10 highest paid actresses in the world. Or the fact that she was asked to be a UN Messenger of Peace. But it's probably the fact that even when she went completely butch for her Oscar winning role in Monster we still thought about smashing.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Winning an Oscar was nice, yeah, but she looked like a male vagabond in Monster. We preferred when she got sexy again in Aeon Flux. It sucked, true, but there was endless amounts of spandex.

Age (circa 2009): 31
Occupation: Actress

You might have seen this Canadian beauty in an old episode of The OC and taken note. You probably even saw her during the first few seasons of Entourage and thought she was cute. Then all of a sudden, during more recent seasons of the HBO hit series Entourage, shorty started looking retarded HOT. The step-up sent her straight to top of everyone's hottie list, but we already knew, we been had her on the cover, my dude!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Making You Don't Mess With the Zohan 20% more watchable.

Age (circa 2009): 33
Occupation: Actress/Model

Don't judge this Spanish belle by her role in the abomination that was The Spirit—before she became known to Americans in the Adam Sandler flick Spanglish, she had an illustrious Spanish television and film career. Expand your horizons, dun.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Making The Spirit watchable for the few minutes she was on screen as the Plaster of Paris.

Age (circa 2009): 41
Occupation: Model/Singer/First Lady

With all due respect to Michelle Obama, the award for hottest First Lady in the world must go to the Italian former high fashion model and singer, Carla Bruni. Despite claiming to prefer polygamy, Bruni settled down with French president Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Becoming the only First Lady to have sold a nude photo of themselves at an auction. And, come to think of it, the only First Lady to had naked photos in circulation.

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Actress/Model

Formely Miss Teen USA, Vanessa Minnillo went on to host TRL for a spell before leaving for greener pastures, which included a cameo role in Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer and the lead in Disaster Movie. You gotta start somewhere, we guess.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Starring alongside fellow dimes Carmen Elektra and Kim Kardashian in Disaster Movie. The movie sucked, yeah, but...um... we forgot where we were going with that.

Age (circa 2009): 29
Occupation: Singer/Actress

Yeah, Jessica Simpson is dumb, and yeah, she's produced a steady stream of crappy music, movies and reality TV over the last decade, but she's got twos even her own daddy is excited about and it's kinda fun to smash hot ditzy blonds. Word to Stacy from accounting.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Jinxing the Dallas Cowboys. Other than that, her video for "These Boots are Made for Walking."

Age (circa 2009): 29
Occupation: Actress

Every TV show has that hot girl you look forward to seeing every week. Minka Kelly was that girl for Friday Night Lights. In addition to the show, this Texas native became more well-known by hanging out in the Yankee Stadium suites to watch her boyfriend Derek Jeter play ball. We're glad she's in New York, we just hope Derek doesn't burn her, literally.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Breaking up with John Mayer.

Age (circa 2009): 37
Occupation: Actress/Model

Nicknamed Sofia "Viagra", the bilingual Colombian is usually cast as the ridiculously hot Latina woman in every movie or TV show she's in. And she plays it oh so well. If you're feeling down, catch her doing her thing alongside Ed O'Neil in ABC's Modern Family, we're sure it'll get you up (pause).

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Remaining the most salaciously sexy Latina in Hollywood. Thank the lord her new show, Modern Family is actually good.

Age (circa 2009): 29
Occupation: Singer/Actress

The last four years of her career may not have been too interesting, but when we think of Mya, we automatically remember her in the Carolina blue UNC jersey dress alongside Hova in the "Best of Me" remix video. That video had everyone trying to get the best of her.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Kicking off her acting career with a role in the Screen Actors Guild Award winning Chicago. Hollywood money > music industry money.

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Actress

We thought this California raised dime's career would blossom after her breakout role in Eve's Bayou, but it seemed the only thing that blossomed were her luscious lips, perfect ass and super two's. Hell, that's good enough for us.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Appearing in 50 Cent's "21 Questions" video. Not for nothing, that may have been her best-acted role of the 2000s. No shots.

Age (circa 2009): 29
Occupation: Actress

Late pass: We didn't notice the sexy Iranian/Spanish, Texas born actress until '05 when she played a two-timing lesbian DJ on HBO's The L Word. Shahi then said that her and Carmen have a lot in common. We hope it's more than their Latin roots.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Proving to us, on HBO's The L Word, that butch lesbians aren't the only ones with male libidos.

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Singer

Ciara started off the Aughts as the good girl who intended to stay that way. A couple hit records, two platinum albums and a duet with 50 Cent later, the supposedly part Cherokee (who isn't?) ATL native has grown into a sultry songstress with the whole world trying to get into her goodies.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Having the sexiest music video until Beyonce crushed the game with "Single Ladies." The "Promise" video was so on point, Lil' Wayne wrote a song about it.

Age (circa 2009): 33
Occupation: Adult Video Star

Allow us to speak candidly here: only a few porn stars have consistently kept our interest through the decade, and this half Thai, half English, Montana born freak is hands down the most consistent adult actress in the game, ever since she appeared as Penthouse's "Pet of the Month" in February 2000.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Getting inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2009.

Age (circa 2009): 27
Occupation: Model/Reality TV Star

The world's gonna end someday, and marginally talented "actress"/"singer"/"reality" show types that slore themselves out at every possible chance probably hasten the process, but eff it, at least they've been fun to watch. We guess that boob job paid off big time.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Model

Besides being ridiculously hot, Bar's claim to fame is: The two-riffic girl with the easy smile who stole Leo away from Gisele. And from the looks of her, we can see why Leo changed faces. Oh, by the way, they just broke up, so if you're packing a cool hundred mill and have a personality, she's all yours.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Having her body plastered across a Southwest Airlines plane/cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

Age (circa 2009): 32
Occupation: Music Video Model/Actress

We could give a fuck if she drives a Honda Accord—the Jessica Rabbit of the music-video world was clearly the MVP of BET...that is, until she gracefully bowed out. Yo Melyssa: Jigga came outta retirement, why can't you?

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Transcending music videos to produce and host TV shows. When it comes to video vixens, she's the G.O.A.T.

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Model

Ms. Lima has been a Victoria's Secret Angel since 2000, which means she has been selected as one of the most perfectly busty and hottest women on the globe for all of the Aughts, over and over again. She's also pregnant now, about to pop out a kid this December.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Making the world think she was a virgin up until her marriage while being romantically linked to singer Lenny Kravitz, Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein, and Denny of Timbalada (whoever that is).

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Actress

The girl who went from being on Buffy to co-producing and starring in her own TV series Dollhouse has put in work over the past 10 years to become a bankable actress without sacrificing her cool. Over here we call that a win/win. She already blessed us by appearing on our Oct/Nov '09 cover, now if she would only drop Vanessa Williams ex, she'd be perfect.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Playing a bad-ass cheerleader in Bring It On.

Age (circa 2009): 31
Occupation: Actress

This half Puerto Rican, half Dominican dime, who played Uhura in Abram's Star Trek relaunch, is the new Intergalactic Empress of the Geeks. We mean that in a totally positive, "we want to explore deep space with her but our phaser just blasted in our pants" kinda way.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
She started the decade working with Nick Cannon (Drumline) and Britney Spears (Crossroads). Now she works with guys like Steven Spielberg (The Terminal), J.J. Abrams (Star Trek), and James Cameron (Avatar). Ultimate come up.

Age (circa 2009): 35
Occupation: Model

Sure, Kate's heyday was in the '90s, but in the Aughts she settled into an appealingly sleazy lifestyle while dating British junkie rock star Pete Doherty. And then look what Katy did next: proving all those Say No to Drugs campaigns wrong, she actually made more dough after flicks of her doing blow were published. She nose what she's doing!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Getting caught in various snowstorms with Pete Doherty.

Age (circa 2009): 30
Occupation: Actress

Lucy Liu who? Take a look at the best Asian movies to make it to America in the 2000's and you'll notice this perfectly limber, Beijing beauty featured in many of the credits. She doesn't do token, so that means we probably won't see her in the Kung Fu Panda sequel.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Kicking ass and flying in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Age (circa 2009): 44
Occupation: Actress

Marisa Tomei can do it all: funny, sad, serious, sexy, and trashy. We thought her best days were behind her until we experienced The Wrestler, the Academy Award favorite that had the cougar-esque Brooklyn born actress going through all of the aforementioned emotions all while being naked for most of the film.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Getting hit off by Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Seriously, watch it!

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Model

When we think of vacationing in Hawaii we imagine picturesque beaches, clear water, palm trees and girls that look Jarah Mariano. One of the 50th state's best exports (besides Obama), Jarah has appeared in back to back issues of Sports Illustrated Swimswuit editions as well as Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got" video. We're still waiting to see all of what she's got, ya dig?

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is a good debut and all, but she was undoubtedly at her best on the cover of our 5th anniversary issue.

Age (circa 2009): 34
Occupation: Singer/Rapper/Songwriter

It took the world a minute to catch onto the overtly political, London born Sri Lankan. But now you'd be hard pressed to hear music not influenced by her unique melding of dancehall, electronica and hip hop. It may not be for everyone, but we bet your favorite artist loves M.I.A.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Performing alongside Jay-Z, T.I., Kanye West and Lil' Wayne at the 2009 Grammy's while nine months pregnant.

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Actress

A killer smile and just the right amount of baby fat makes Lauren London our hands-down favorite unofficial Re-Up Gang member. We're even willing to overlook that she just had Lil Wayne's 47th child (yeah, she's that bad)—especially because we've seen what motherhood does to a woman's body, and the new offerings are truly breathtaking.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Making ATL a must-see cinematic event.

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Actress

Not only is she smart (she graduated from Harvard in 2003), Natalie Portman has the money (she's acted since she was 4) and the looks (um...look at her). She'd be number 1 on this list if we gave more points for wit, but alas, this is not that list.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Getting an Oscar nomination for playing a pink-haired stripper in Closer.

Age (circa 2009): 29
Occupation: Model

Brazil is full of hot chicks but when you talk Brazilian women, the first name to come out of your drooling mouth is undoubtedly Gisele. You know a chick is big shit when she marries a three-time Super Bowl champion, two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback and he's a nobody compared to her. Brady who?

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
The Queen of the Brazilian Supermodels became the highest-paid model on the planet this past decade with $150 mill in the bank.

Age (circa 2009): 24
Occupation: Singer

When everyone found out how hot the girl behind summer 2008's bi-curious anthem was, Katy Perry quickly became a sex icon of the Aughts. Not bad for a girl who grew up in a Christian household. She only has one album under her belt, but it's clear KP is one of this decade's real pop stars. We took notice early and gave homegirl a cover in 2009.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
"I Kissed A Girl" holding down the #1 spot on Billboard for seven weeks. Diva? We think so.

Age (circa 2009): 26
Occupation: Kanye's Muse

The definition of an overnight celebrity, Amber Rose became one of the hottest chicks in the game out of nowhere. Yeezy's relationship with the video girl-turned-model might be a little ambiguous, but our love for the bald beauty is nothing but clear. These days, she's mostly known for her paparazzi shots and open bisexuality, and honestly, she's so hot that we don't need to know that much more.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Appeared in an ass-tastic Louis Vuitton ad campaign for Ye's sneakers with the brand, and shut the Internets down with her hottest photo shoot to date, ours.

Age (circa 2009): 32
Occupation: Actress

These days, a girl like Kerry is a rare bird—a legitimately sexy female celebrity with genuine talent and no tabloid skeletons. Damn, can't we get at least one upskirt from this Bronx-bred beauty? Throw us a bone!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Making the all-black everything look (bra, panties, heels) look sexy and having every guy rethink their vows in I Think I Love My Wife.

Age (circa 2009): 35
Occupation: Actress

Her habit of dating weirdos (Javier Bardem) and douchebags (Matthew McConaughey) and douchebag weirdos (Tom Cruise) is easily trumped by her habit of getting (tastefully) naked in her movies.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Ménage with Scarlett Johansson and some del Toro dude in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Age (circa 2009): 32
Occupation: Singer/Dancer

Yeah, "Hips Don't Lie," but we prefer the words of the Mighty Mos: "Ass so fat that you can see it from the front." We hear her and her fiance haven't tied the knot yet. We would have been wifed that. Combine the Colombian's swivel with her sizzle and...fuck. Oye mami.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
After people wrote her off as nothing more than a provocative ass shaker, she went ahead and recorded the biggest pop single of the 21st century. Take that, take that.

Age (circa 2009): 29
Occupation: Actress

Before the world knew her as Sarah Marshall, Kristen Bell held it down as a sexy detective in one of the highest-rated network TV shows, Veronica Mars. Now this Detroit-raised blonde bombshell has a slew of projects in the works. And to think, she went from a bit role in Pootie Tang, to getting her own Complex cover.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Showing the world exactly what tantric sex is in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Age (circa 2009): 35
Occupation: Actress

Eva's had a strong 10-year-run—she started the Aughts by appearing buck (for a few tantalizing seconds) in Training Day, and closed the decade by posing nude for Calvin Klein. Yeah, she had a rehab stint in between, but what hot girl from Miami doesn't?

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Playing Denzel's down-ass-chick in Training Day. Definition of a wifey supreme.

Age (circa 2009): 26
Occupation: Actress

Mila Kunis is probably cooler than all the girls on this list (even more so than Kristen Bell or Natalie Portman) but we don't really get a chance to see it because she's always hanging out with that dude from Home Alone. Ah well, good for him. Pretty girl who makes her own cake, and who seems down-ass to boot. No wonder we scooped her for a cover in 2008.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Somewhere between That '70s Show, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Family Guy, we fell in love.

Age (circa 2009): 44
Occupation: Actress/Model

Like wine, Monica Bellucci gets better with age. The former model has no problem showing off her time-defying body as long as the roles call for it. We're pretty sure there's a painting in her attic of a woman with saggy titties and cellulite thighs.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
If you haven't seen the WWII flick Malèna, throw it in your NetFlix queue immediately. Monica is practically naked for the better part of an hour.

Age (circa 2009): 30
Occupation: Actress

This former Complex cover starlet is the good girl done great, and anyone with a Lower East Side, NY tendency thinks they're friends with her. She's been in a plethora of dope movies, is an activist for all kinds of good causes, and seems cooler than most guys girlfriends. Rosario Dawson is a win/win/win.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Admitting (through her character in Clerks II) that in the heat of the moment, "It's OK to go from ass to mouth."

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Singer

Xtina kicked off the decade by flying her freak flag high for all the sweet blond pop starlets who just wanted to mud-wrestle and box with other chicks. Now she's a 28-year-old MILF married to a music-biz douchebag. But that four-octave vocal range? We could still make her hit the high notes.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
The "Dirrty" video. 'Nuff said.

Age (circa 2009): 23
Occupation: Actress

Ohhh Lohan. If we had to write this about you now it might not be as full of praise, but when you grabbed our hearts as the young girl who did WHATEVER THE FUCK SHE WANTED we couldn't stop watching. It's hard to believe that you're only 23. Look how far you've come (and how big the two's have gotten). You make us oh so proud!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
One might point to Mean Girls, her smoking hot GQ cover, or her stint as a lesbian as Lohan's greatest hit, but it was her inability to stay away from the party (or photographers) between 2006 and 2008 that garnered her a place in our hearts, and what we consider to be her most iconic moments of the Aughts.

Age (circa 2009): 43
Occupation: Actress

After a decade that gave us her load mind-blowing bikini dance in From Dusk Till Dawn, our favorite Mexican-Lebanese actress managed to get even sexier. She might be in her 40s, and a mom to boot, but with that body and accent, we're always in the mood to head south of the border.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
We know we're supposed to say her Best Actress nomination at the 2002 Oscars for Frida, but we gotta go with all the girl-on-girl stuff from Frida. Is that shallow?

Age (circa 2009): 27
Occupation: Actress

So what if she was just named by anti-virus company McAfee as the most dangerous celebrity in cyberspace (do not open an email with her name in the subject). J.B.'s got the remedy for all these bony starlets, and enough assets to make Mr. Timberlake want to wife her. White girls with ass, stand up! (And turn around!)

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Pissing off the 7th Heaven producers by posing semi-nude in a 2000 issue of Gear Magazine.

Age (circa 2009): 27
Occupation: Singer

Sure, she's toxic now and even K-Fed seems like a better person and parent than she is, but early in the 2000s, she was one of the thickest white pop stars we'd ever seen. She had us fantasizing that the old men who wrote her songs were thinking about us when they put pen to paper.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Slow winding with a full-sized boa constrictor while she performed "I'm a Slave 4 U" at the MTV VMA's. At the time there was no one hotter!

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Singer/Songwriter

The quintessential NYC wifey: sexy-ass voice, sexy-ass talent, sexy-ass...ass. With four multi-platinum albums under her belt and another on the way, we'd like to volunteer to help her celebrate—think a party in her backyard is out of the question?

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Winning five Grammys in 2002 for her debut album. That's a lot of hardware, but with all that's software she's working with, we think it's only right.

Age (circa 2009): 23
Occupation: Model/Singer

Cassandra Ventura's claim to fame: being hot. Like, hot enough to pull off completely shaving half of her head. Sure, she sang a few songs here and there but all we ever really cared about is how she looked while singing them. It doesn't hurt that we've seen her naked too. Now if only we could pry her away from Diddy. Bonus: She's a two-time Complex cover girl.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Had the Internet going (and bustin') nuts with a series of nude photo leaks.

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Actress

With horrendous movies like Honey, Fantastic Four, and Good Luck Chuck to her name, the innocently sexy Jessica Alba is no Meryl Streep. But then Dark Angel and Sin City are still hot and we don't want to have sex with Meryl Streep.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Somehow, despite our constant pleas, she managed to go the whole decade without putting them on the glass.

Age (circa 2009): 43
Occupation: Actress

We all know Halle Berry was hot in the '90s, but she stepped it up like a soldier for the new millennium. There's the sex scene in Monster's Ball—which she won an Oscar for. And there's her going topless in Swordfish—which she didn't win an Oscar for. But we're going with her mammary-tastic, post-childbirth spread in last year's Esquire—which she should win something for, even if it's just permanent residence in the spank bank.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Finally settling down with a nice young man who isn't a sex addict.

Age (circa 2009): 40
Occupation: Actress/Singer

Look past her so-so music, her questionable marriage to backup dancer Cris Judd, and the Bennifer fiasco, and what do you see? A big, beautiful, culturally significant ass, of course. (How could you miss it?) Seriously, J. Lo made so much off of that rump that it didn't even seem far-fetched when we heard a rumor that she'd had it insured for $300 million. That's only like $1 per square inch.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Showing aspiring divas how to make a statement when she showed up to the 2000 Grammys in the now infamous $9,000 Versace dress.

Age (circa 2009): 34
Occupation: Actress

Sure, now she's mostly known for being in a slightly (just a tad) overexposed relationship with some Brad dude and having her own roving United Colors of Benetton ad cast, but at the beginning of the decade Ang, and her tremendous two's, had the game on lock. (Remember Lara Croft? It was the first time we beat to thoughts of grave robbing—unfortunately not the last). And even now, you know we'd still smash—provided the kids are at grandma's.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Breaking up Jen Aniston's marriage! We guess you can turn a home wrecker into a housewife.

Age (circa 2009): 21
Occupation: Singer

Where to begin? The good girl gone bad has lived a lifetime in the last few years, but there's no question that she's earned her rep as one of the baddest chicks in the game. We already loved her style, swagger, and Bajan lilt, so the leaked nude photos just cemented what we already knew: Shorty is a 10. So she's also #5.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Proving with her multi-platinum third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, that she's the next biggest female pop star behind Hova's wife.

Age (circa 2009): 23
Occupation: Actress

You know how you used to laugh at anything the hot girl in your high school said? It's like that with this one, only on a macro level. When she goes to buy milk, photos. When she goes to the gym, photos. It's awesome. Too bad Jennifer's Body wasn't. Actually, who cares, 'cause Megan's body was.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Using the Transformers franchise to mind-trick all the men (and some of the women) on this planet into truly believing she is the most attractive human on Earth at this moment.

Age (circa 2009): 25
Occupation: Actress

Ah, those lips, those boobs, that voice. Just looking at a photo of this woman makes you want to pass out on her chest and never wake up again. Sure her albums were whatevs, but they're plenty fine for us.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Swapping spit with Penelope Cruz in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Socialite/Reality TV Star

When people talk about someone who's "famous for being famous" they might as well just refer to them as a Kim Kardashian. Complex took a chance in 2007 by putting Kim on the cover, when she was just Paris Hilton's curvaceous BFF, and since then she's been a tabloid mainstay. Yes, you all should be tipping your fitteds to us. With an ass that would win all the horse awards, and twos that are the most super, it's easy to see how she got to #2 without doing anything at all.

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Scored $5 million after settling a lawsuit over her infamous sex tape, has her own E! reality show, two-time Complex cover girl.

Age (circa 2009): 28
Occupation: Singer/Dancer/Actress

Yes, she sings. She sangs. But holy fish and grits, this Southern gull is packin' just the way we like it. Peep that video from...no, browse this gallery, or, no try the one from...good lord, each one is sexier than the last. She is indeed the hottest chick in the game. We'd put a ring on it if we could, trust. Damn you, Jiggaaaaaaaa!

AUGHTS ACHIEVEMENT:
Let's see: five Grammys in 2004, being Forbes Best-Paid Celeb Under 30 in 2009, or having the best ass, like, ever. We just can't decide.
