Marisa Miller the Sexiest Woman on Planet

You may not have heard her name before, but Marisa Miller is officially the sexiest woman on the planet.

The American supermodel, a feature of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues, is the global winner of FHM Magazine’s Sexiest Women in the World poll – which received more than a million votes.

She stole the global sexiest woman crown from last year’s winner Megan Fox.

Marisa has countless magazine covers under her belt and is a face of Harley-Davidson and lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret.

The 31-year-old, married to music producer Griffin Guess, hails from Santa Cruz in California and has been modelling since she was 16.

Despite her rising profile, and work in magazines such as Vogue, she is yet to reach the household name status of some of her contemporaries.

But her good looks speak for themselves, with Marisa winning the FHM poll, voted for by readers of the magazine from 24 international editions in countries such as the UK, U.S., Australia, China, France, India and South Africa.

The UK poll was topped by singer Cheryl Cole, with Marisa coming in third position.

Colin Kennedy, editor of UK FHM, said: ‘Marisa Miller has the kind of sun-kissed sex appeal that wows men all over the world.’

But Marisa, a keen surfer, is unlikely to be too impressed.

She has previously said: ‘I get a kick out of it, but it would be stupid to let it go to my head. It’s modelling – I didn’t find the cure for cancer.’
