Meet the Sexiest Woman Alive!

Despite stiff competition, model Brooklyn Decker bagged the title this year.

Esquire Magazine conducted their annual 'Sexiest Woman Alive' poll for 2010 and the results are finally out.

A whopping number of votes that crossed the five million mark saw 64 candidates compete for the top spot, but in the end, it was Victoria's Secret swimsuit model and tennis ace Andy Roddick's wife Brooklyn Decker who won out.

She topped the poll with a staggering 89 percent of the votes and it's hardly surprising, given her exquisite face and that killer bod!

The blonde-haired and blue-eyed stunner, now 23, has been modelling since she was 16, when she was spotted by scouting agents in a shopping mall.

She soon started fronting brands like GAP and Victoria's Secret and appeared in every magazine that mattered, from Vogue and Elle to Cosmopolitan and FHM.

Brooklyn really got noticed when she was picked to pose in Sports Illustrated back in 2005, alongside supermodels like Heidi Klum, who, incidentally, was her strongest contender for the 'Sexiest Woman Alive' title this year.

She was also unveiled as the face of the magazine's 2010 cover, an honour that the model said left her mother in tears.

If the fashion world had not come a-calling, the leggy looker has been quoted as saying in interviews that she would have been a veterinarian. She is an avid animal lover and besides volunteering at shelters, graced a media event back in January at a koala sanctuary in Australia, accompanied by hubby Roddick.

Despite her successful modelling career and hectic travelling schedule, Brooklyn finds the time to accompany Roddick to important tennis tournaments across the world. You'll often see her courtside, giving him silent support as he fights it out on the turf.

As for her being named sexiest in the world, Brooklyn doesn't seem to take herself too seriously -- she said that she probably has Photoshop to thank for the honour!

Now that's one lovely lady who seems to have a sense of humour to match her looks.
