This supermodel is the sexiest woman of 2017

Last updated on: June 01, 2017 14:14 IST

The stunner is known for her hot body and close friendship with the Jenners and Hadids.

Maxim magazine has announced its list of Hot 100 World's Sexiest Women and they have an undisputed winner.

She's a 20-year-old model, who belongs to a family of popular Hollywood actors.

This beauty shot her first magazine cover in 2015 and made her first fashion week appearance the previous year.

While most models struggle to climb up the ranks, she's one of the lucky few to have achieved success in a short span.

A regular at the fashion weeks in New York, Milan, Paris and London, she's beat Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner to receive this honour.

Meet the world's sexiest woman...
