Zooey Deschanel has been voted the world's most "desirable" woman by readers of Ask Men UK.
The New Girl actress beat Harry Potter star Emma Watson into second place in the 2012 edition of the publication's 'Top 99 Women' poll.
Katy Perry, Rihanna and Tulisa Contostavlos also featured inside the top ten, while Daisy Lowe, Lana Del Rey and Mila Kunis completed the top five.
On Deschanel's win, editor Charlie Parrish said: "Zooey is talented, charming, successful and beautiful, someone men want to be with and women would like to befriend.
"This year, we've really seen the developing tastes of British men reflected in their votes and it's incredibly positive to discover so many cultured, contemporary choices like Zooey, Emma Watson and Lana Del Rey beating the more traditional pin-up favourites."
Kate Middleton finished in tenth position, four places lower than her sister Pippa Middleton.
Meanwhile, the likes of Pixie Lott, Kristen Stewart and Adele finished inside the top 20 positions.
David Beckham recently topped a similar male poll by readers of Heat magazine.
