The 25 Most Underrated Hot Celebrities Right Now

With the ever expanding world of entertainment, it's inevitable that some women, some incredibly hot women, just won't wind up getting the recognition that they so richly deserve. There are only so many slots for magazine covers, and often the same 10 or so celebs wind up continuously getting them. While an actress like Girls' Allison Williams and a musician like Rita Ora are super sexy, they often wind up without the media coverage of an Angelina Jolie or a Rihanna. That said, we're here to shift the spotlight to the girls who don't get enough time to bask in it. Check out the 25 most underrated hot celebrities right now.

Profession: Musician

While some may only know Ellie Goulding as the girl who whips her hair back and forth in that one Beats by Dre commercial, this English singer/songwriter is completely adorable. Luckily, the world currently has a chance to get better acquainted with Ms. Goulding, as she's out on tour supporting her impressive second studio album, Halcyon, which dropped just last month.

Profession: Actress

Though your average person might know not her name, for five seasons Melbourne native Anna Torv has played FBI agent Olivia Dunham on Fox's Fringe, making her a Comic Con favorite. It's time to stop letting all the fanboys get dibs on her.

Profession: Actress

Prior to her run on HBO's ill-fated How to Make It in America, where she appeared in an eye-opening nude scene during the show's sophomore season, few people seemed to notice just how hot Lake Bell actually is. We first fell in love with Lake back in 2008 when she co-starred in What Happens in Vegas alongside Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher. Aside from her looks, she also has an innate cool factor that makes her even hotter.

Profession: Actress

Ever since she rang Ellen Page's hamburger phone back in 2007's Juno, the beautifully brown-eyed Olivia Thirlby has been one of Hollywood's busiest actresses. In 2012, the actress starred in a whopping five films, including Nobody Walks, Being Flynn and Dredd.

Profession: Professional Wrestler

While most wrestling fans tend to gawk at WWE's current crop of divas, we actually think that the hottest female wrestler in the game today isn't an employee of Vince McMahon. Brooke Tessmacher, a wildly sexy Hawaiian Tropic model turned pro wrestler, currently kicks ass on Spike TV's TNA Impact Wrestling.

If you're lucky, every Thursday you can see Brooke, wearing close to nothing, laying the smack down in the squared circle. In TNA, they refer to their female competitors as "Knockouts." We couldn't agree more.

Profession: Comedian

Though Nasim Pedrad joined the cast of Saturday Night Live back in 2009, her screen time on the show was always rather limited. However this season, perhaps in part due to Kristen Wiig's recent departure, this adorable Iranian-born actress is all over our television every Saturday night. And this pint-sized beauty isn't only hot, she's also completely freakin' hilarious. Her impersonations of M.I.A, Kelly Ripa, Ariana Huffington and Kim Kardashian are always spot on.

Profession: Musician

Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li looks like she could be a runway model. But sadly, perhaps due to the music video going the way of the dodo bird, most people are unaware. Had this indie princess been churning out hits in the '90s, more people would no doubt realize just how hot this critics' darling is.

Profession: Actress

London's Naomie Harris, the newest Bond girl, is just ridiculously attractive. Though she's been acting for well over a decade, her role as Miss Moneypenny in the recently released Skyfall is her most high-profile role to date. Hopefully, with the film's success, the world will finally begin to appreciate this British beauty.

Profession: Actress and model

It's genuinely hard to believe that Analeigh Tipton isn't more well-known. This impossibly sexy Minnesota girl's first taste of success came when she finished third in cycle 11 of American's Next Top Model back in 2008. Since then, she's launched a very respectable acting career, having appeared in films such as Crazy, Stupid Love, and Walt Whitman's Damsels in Distress. We suggest you hop on the bandwagon now before next year's Warm Bodies makes her the next big thing.

Profession: Actress

Isla Fisher, who has starred in films like Confessions of a Shopaholic and Wedding Crashers, is one of the funniest hot girls alive, yet everyone forgets that. Hell, even her movies don't get enough credit.Bachelorette was a damn good flick and Hot Rod was hysterical. Maybe the world should shift their attention from her husband Sacha Baron Cohen to her. At least we can agree she's easier on the eyes, can't we?

Profession: Musician

Rita Ora is Roc Nation's secret weapon. This British R&B singer is quickly making a name for herself, and likely wouldn't wind up on this list had it been written next year. With the release of her debut LP, Ora, our Aug/Sept. cover girl, who's as sexy as she is talented, has been turning a lot of heads lately, but just not enough.

Profession: Actress

We've been smitten with Anna Kendrick ever since Jason Reitman cast her alongside George Clooney in 2009's fantastic Up in the Air, so we're not exactly sure why there isn't enough attention on her sex appeal. The Oscar-nominated actress, whose witticisms on Twitter also need more attention, appeared almost exclusively in money-making films over the past few years, including such hits as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 50/50, Pitch Perfect, and as Jessica Stanley in the mega-popular Twilight series.

Profession: Actress

Fox's Glee is best known for pumping out family-friendly musical numbers, but it's also quietly home to some of the hottest women on TV. One of which is Naya Rivera, a stunning half Puerto Rican/half African American California girl who plays William McKinley High's resident sexy lesbian.

Profession: Actress

On HBO's Girls, newcomer Allison Williams plays Marnie, Lena Dunham's character's best friend. With just one look at Williams, the daughter of NBC newscaster Brian Williams, we know it's a safe bet that she's en route to becoming a big star. Not only is Allison a talented enough actress to land a Sunday night HBO series as her first major television gig, but she's also classically gorgeous.

Profession: Singer

It's not that Solange Knowles is really underrated per se, it's just that a certain someone she's related to just so happens to cast quite a large shadow. But with the release of her 2012 EP, True, and with a yet-to-be-titled third studio album dropping early next year, Solange will unanimously be known as more than just Bey's little sis.

Profession: Actress

Sure, Lizzy Caplan's character in 2004's Mean Girls wasn't exactly eye candy. But since then, Lizzy's gone on to become one of the most prolific yet overlooked actresses in Hollywood. She's part of an elite group who can pull off both sexy and funny at the same time, which is no easy feat. Aside from looking fantastic in such films as Hot Tub Time Machine, Bachelorette, Save the Date and Cloverfield, Caplan has also co-starred in HBO's True Blood and in Starz' equally underrated Party Down.

Profession: Actress, musician and model

On the CW's The Vampire Diaries, Nina Dobrev tends to get the lion's share of the attention. However, we think her co-star, Kat Graham, is every bit as hot, if not even hotter. And this Swiss-born 23-year-old stunner isn't just an actress, she's also a musician (her songs are West Hollywood club favorites) and a model. Never sleep on a triple threat.

Profession: Actress

With Jane Levy's naturally seductive bad girl look, it's a shame that this sexy 22-year-old is as overlooked as she is. Levy made her TV debut playing the town floozy on Showtime's Shameless, and then followed that up by landing one of the leads on ABC's recently renewed Suburgatory. If the show doesn't catch on, hopefully folks will start paying serious attention to her when Evil Dead, the remake of the 1981 classic she's starring in, hits theaters next year.

Profession: Actress

Sarah Shahi previously had supporting roles on NBC's Life and on Showtime's The L Word, but on the USA Network's Fairly Legal, she's finally broke out a bit. On the series, Sarah, a former NFL cheerleader, played Kate Reed, a young woman who changes her profession from lawyer to mediator. Unfortunately, the series was canceled after its second season, leaving Shahi as the girl only the bro-est of bros know about.

Profession: Actress

Fox's New Girl is largely a vehicle for the queen of quirk, Zooey Deschanel, who's undoubtedly adorable. However, if you ask us, the hottest cast member on this genuinely hilarious sitcom is the actual new girl herself, Hannah Simone. Hannah, who was an unknown prior to landing the role, plays Zooey's best friend, a model. The casting couldn't have been any more perfect.

Profession: Actress

Maybe's it's because she usually plays characters who are more hipster than hottie, but Aubrey Plaza's looks are certainly under-the-radar. Her patented deadpan delivery is a highlight of any Parks & Rec episode, but that shouldn't overshadow this Delaware native's undeniable beauty.

Profession: Actress

Alison Brie, who simultaneously stars on two hit series', AMC's Mad Men and NBC's Community, is equal parts adorable and sexy. On Mad Men, as Trudy Campbell, Alison's more toned-down, but on the more modern Community, her highly GIF-able character typically dresses in revealing school girl outfits.

Essentially, Brie, who also sings with her cover band The Girls and was the funniest part of The Five-Year Engagement, is the best of both worlds. It's too bad her boyfriend Dave Franco realized this before the rest of the world even had a chance to.

Profession: Model

It's unacceptable that most people don't know the name Joan Smalls. Joan is a Puerto Rican fashion model who, according to Models.com, is currently the no. 1 model in the entire world! Though she's held that spot since September of this year, most people who don't follow the fashion industry are unaware of her hotness. But hopefully that's about to change, as she recently began co-hosting MTV's House of Style reboot.

Profession: Actress

As Fiona Gallagher on Showtime's Shameless, Emmy, who tows the line between sultry and girl-next-door, is quite simply one of the hottest women on television today. And when her next film, the potential blockbuster Beautiful Creatures, hits theaters next year, count on Emmy to become one of the most talked about actresses in the industry.

Profession: Actress

On Showtime's hit series Homeland, Morena Baccarin, a drop dead gorgeous Brazillian actress, plays Jessica Brody, the scorned wife of a war hero turned terrorist. While Damien Lewis and Claire Danes tend to garner the most attention from this award-winning drama, it's Morena whose scenes we always pay the most attention to. With more eyes currently on her than in any other time in her career, it's likely that Morena won't be underrated for long.
