Year to year, one thing that never changes is sex appeal nor Wβ€˜s interest in sex and provocation. Only the cast rotates. In 2016, we saw Selena Gomez and Bella Hadid blossom into confident, young bombshells; the emerging transgender model Casil McArthur and Ruth Bell expanded our definition of sexy; and Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Paulson, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus continued to show us how it’s done. Here, see 2016’s hottest photos.
