Hailey’s Maxim’s sexiest

-

HAILEY Baldwin has landed the number one spot on Maxim’s annual Hot 100 list and she has joked that the title is “underwhelm­ing”.

The 20-year-old model, who is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and his wife Kennya, has been named the men’s publicatio­n’s hottest female this year, and the blonde-haired beauty 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 at the age of 17, has claimed that she doesn’t need anyone’s approval for the projects she embarks on.

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”.

Meanwhile, Hailey is set to host James Corden’s Drop the Mic, which sees the Gavin & Stacey funny man go head to 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: “I honestly always feel like it was a little bit inevitable for me. I was always the entertaine­r in my family. Everyone said, that’s the one you got to watch out for’.” – Bang Showbiz
