2017 was another year when famous female celebrities sent the internet into a frenzy. Be it the nude photoshoots or personal pictures (including paparazzi shots), these gorgeous women have set the temperatures soaring. The list of sexy women and their hottest moment in the year includes a tough fight between Bollywood babe, Esha Gupta and American model, Emily Ratajkowski. Both the ladies have breathed fire in the virtual with their curvaceous bodies featured in equally sultry photos. We also got former porn stars Sunny Leone and Mia Khalifa continuing to score perfect scores in hotness quotient. There is also a place for free-spirited beauties like Mahira Khan and Selena Gomez, who became internet’s new muses courtesy the leaked photographs with their rumoured romantic partners. Here’s a glimpse at all the hottest women created a smoke storm on the social media with their sexy presence.

1. Esha Gupta

A post shared by Esha Gupta (@egupta) on

Boudoir photography is not an alien concept but not many B-town actresses dared to bare it all like Esha Gupta. The 32-year-old did an erotic photoshoot with famous photographer, Arjun Mark. As a Kingfisher Calendar model, fans have seen Esha pose in bikini and thongs. But this risqué photoshoot was an entirely different ball game. From posing in lingerie to going topless, the Delhi girl did it all. However, the biggest surprise was her decision to go completely butt naked for another series of photos. Esha Gupta has been on a roll with not just going bold for Arjun Mark Photography but did multiple other skimpy bikini photoshoots throughout the year.

2. Emily Ratajkowski

American model Emily Ratajkowski has no qualms showing off her body and sexuality the way she pleases. Even a celebrity troll like Piers Morgan could not dent her aspirations to feel sexy. The 26-year-old’s Instagram is filled up with her hot pictures, including naked ones. And if you are thinking, Ratajkowski will change her reputation for showing off her body online, the answer is big fat NO.

3. Priyanka Chopra

India’s best export to the world, Priyanka Chopra has been officially adjudged the Sexiest Asian Woman of 2017. She is beautiful, confident, bold and looks sensuous in a pair of Christian Dior pair of high-waisted briefs. This woman redefines the term ‘lady-like’ by gobbling chicken wings wearing an irresistibly hot LBD! She is a queen. Period.

4. Kendall Jenner

A post shared by Kendall (@kendalljenner) on

Probably the only member of the hyped Kardashian-Jenner clan who is rising to the top without an assistance from leaked sex tape or by getting pregnant. In 2017, Kendall Jenner dethroned Brazilian supermodel, Gisele Bundchen to become the highest-paid model. Gisele has been holding this position since 2002. So how did Kendall achieve such a feat? Well, her mammoth Instagram fan-following coupled with giant advertisement deals played a major role in taking the top spot with USD 22 million. All those naked moments on photo-sharing platform finally paid off well for Kendall!

5. Sunny Leone

A post shared by Sunny Leone (@sunnyleone) on

Former adult actress turned Bollywood star, Sunny Leone continues to be the most searched celebrity in India. Desh ki Janta simply is in love with the ex-pornstar. Sunny who is still cementing her place in the mainstream cinema otherwise enjoys a crazy following as a glamorous social media star. Be it her professional photoshoots or a little glimpse into her personal life, all of it makes a huge buzz on the internet.

6. Mia Khalifa

Mia Khalifa is another former pornstar but unlike Sunny, the 24-year-old is keen on building her career as a sports expert and presenter. Nevertheless, her work commitments do not keep the sexy woman from making a racy and controversial presence on the social media. In addition to her routine cleavage and butt exposure, Mia also stirs up a storm by posting scandalous snaps. Remember, the image where she photoshopped her image over a pic of Mother Mary.

7. Selena Gomez

A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) on

The year saw quite ups and downs for Selena Gomez. The 25-year-old was diagnosed with lupus and had to undergo a kidney transplant. Nonetheless, Selena released as many as three singles, "Bad Liar", "Fetish", and "Wolves", all becoming super successful worldwide. However, 2017 was quite important for her romantic life. After beginning an affair with The Weeknd at the start of the year, the pair broke off after ten months of dating. But Selena was no lovelorn as she rekindled her romance with former flame, Justin Bieber. The intimate pictures of Selena and Justin kissing and indulged in cute PDAs plastered the walls of social media, much to the joy of their fans.

8. Karishma Sharma

Television actress Karishma Sharma is the poster girl of Instagram. The 23-year-old shattered the stereotypes associated with female celebrities, especially the small-screen divas. Her boudoir pictures broke the internet on several occasions in 2017, before she upped her hotness level by going almost naked for her web-series debut. Karishma Sharma’s sex scenes with her co-star in the web-series, Ragini MMS 2.2 added more to her racy image.

9. Mahira Khan

A post shared by Mahira Khan (@mahirahkhan) on

Indian audiences have been in awe of Mahira Khan ever since they saw her in Pakistani drama series, Humsafar in 2013. She came across as a beautiful face with mind-blowing acting chops. But this year, we saw an independent and powerful personality in the wake of controversial viral pictures with Ranbir Kapoor. The paparazzi shot pictures of Mahira hanging out with the Bollywood actor in NYC. Their informal meeting caused an uproar on the social media, but the graceful manner in which, Mahira handled the situation is applause-worthy.

10. Katrina Kaif

A post shared by Katrina Kaif (@katrinakaif) on

Katrina Kaif makes looking sexy so effortless. Like how? She is hot, her outfits and makeup are on fleek and that radiant confidence is to kill for. Many claim her to bounce back from an ugly break up (with actor Ranbir Kapoor), while several pinpoints her ‘revenge body’. Personally, I hate that term and idea of ‘revenge body’ because that is so mind-numbingly objectifying. Whatever be the case, Katrina Kaif is nailing every look and is at the top of her game.

These are our best pick of the hottest women who shone extra bright in 2017. There are few honourable mentions who totally had their share of highs. TV actress Jennifer Winget was at her ravishing best both with her portrayal of an antagonist, Maya in the daily soap, Beyhadh as well as off the screen. A Gentleman actress Jacqueline Fernandez who set our hearts racing with the sexy pole dancing videos on Instagram. Former beauty queen, Sushmita Sen for showing how to get washboard abs and win at life, simultaneously. That’s it on our end, tell us who do you think should feature in this list of the sexiest female celebrities.
