SEXY HAILEY TOPS HOT 100 LIST
HAILEY Baldwin has earned the title of World’s Sexiest Woman. The 20-year-old American model was named No 1 in Maxim’s annual Hot 100 issue on Tuesday and is officially the publication’s new cover girl.
The blonde bombshell daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and his wife Kennya is proud to land the accolade even though she is playing the title down.
Speaking about her achievement, she joked: “I know, it’s really underwhelming.”
Hailey appears scantily dressed on the cover as she adorns a black mesh leotard with black lace thigh-high stockings, patent boots, and a gold chain necklace, which was photographed by Gilles Bensimon.
But the fashion starlet – who began her modelling career only three years ago aged 17 – has claimed she doesn’t “need” anyone’s approval for the projects she embarks on.
She said: “At the end of the day, I don’t need people’s approval.”
Hailey has taken to social media to broadcast the news of her latest accolade, and to reveal more about her “clumsy and quirky” character.
Alongside the cover shot, which she shared on her Instagram account, she wrote: “number 1. my @ maximmag hot 100 cover shot by @gilles_bensimon thank you Maxim!
“If only people knew how clumsy and quirky I really am lol (sic)”
Hailey is set to host James Corden’s Drop The Mic, which sees the Gavin & Stacey funny man go headto-head in a rap off with a celebrity, and the star thinks the presenting gig was “a little bit inevitable” for her because she has “always” been the entertaining person in her family.
She told Maxim magazine: “Everyone said, ‘That’s the one you got to watch out for.’” – Bang Showbiz
