In the world of "best dressed" and "hottest" lists, one in particular is the most anticipated by men: Maxim's Hot 100.
The annual round-up is comprised of "the world's most beautiful women -- from movie stars to murder suspects to a cartoon." This year, for the first time, readers were asked to weigh in on which ladies they felt were the "crème de la crème" in terms of hotness.
And, of course, a few Canadians are among the sexiest of them all.
Paulina Gretzky -- the daughter of hockey great Wayne Gretzky who recently took to Instagram to expose some skin online -- made her first appearance on the list. And Vancouverite Cobie Smulders of 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Avengers' fame claimed spot 65 on the rundown.
Other Canucks to grace the magazine's round-up: Elisha Cuthbert of 'Happy Endings' and Nina Dobrev of 'Vampire Diaries.'
The 2012 compilation is topped by Israeli uber-model Bar Refaeli and is littered with the usual shoo-ins, such as Christina Hendricks, Rihanna and Megan Fox. Even Pippa Middleton makes an appearance.
