Kiwi supermodel Stella Maxwell, a Victoria's Secret star who was heavily rumoured to have dated Miley Cyrus, has been crowned the World's Most Beautiful Woman.
The 25-year-old Victoria's Secret Angel - who has strutted the catwalk for Balmain, Versace, Marc Jacobs and Fendi - topped Maxim magazine's annual list of the hottest females on the planet, beating competition from the likes of last year's winner Taylor Swift and 2013's winner Miley Cyrus.
The bombshell dedicated her win to women around the world on Instagram.
She said: "Thank you to @maximmag for naming me No. 1 hottest girl 2016... I want to share this with all the women around the world because we are all Number 1."
The full list of the world's hottest women will be announced in the magazine when it is published on June 14.
Born in Belgium to Irish parents, Stella Maxwell moved to New Zealand at the age of 14 before a brief sojourn in Australia. She went to school in Wellington at Queen Margaret College, then studied at the University of Otago - where she was discovered by the Dunedin-based Ali McD agency and started her modelling career.
She was signed as an official Victoria's Secret Angel in May 2015 after walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2014 as a mere mortal.
After being discovered by Dunedin agent Aliana McDaniel in 2008, she was signed by Donald Trump's agency and moved to Paris.
She's landed high-profile ad campaigns for ASOS, Alexander McQueen, H&M and Urban Outfitters, as well as walking for Jeremy Scott, Marc Jacobs and Mochina. Maxwell has also appeared in Vogue and Elle editorial shoots.
She met Cyrus through Miley's BFF, photographer Cheyne Thomas, on Instagram - describing their first meetings as feeling "very organic and right".
