Victoria's Secret came out with their annual "What is Sexy?" list this week, and women of color basically don't make the cut. Out of the 20 women named to the list, only two weren't white.

Sexiest Actress -- Charlize Theron

Sexiest Legs -- Stacy Keibler

Sexiest Bikini Body -- Annalynne McCord

Sexiest Summer Style -- Blake Lively

Sexiest Summer Hair -- Ashley Benson

Sexiest Smile -- Jessica Chastain

Sexiest Eyes -- Jennifer Lawrence

Sexiest Lips - Amanda Seyfried

Sexiest Curves -- Amber Heard

Sexiest Sense of Humor -- Emma Stone

Sexiest TV Cast -- Pretty Little Liars

Sexiest Mom -- Beyonce

Sexiest Songstress -- Britney Spears

Sexiest International Import -- Diane Kruger

Sexiest Summer Glow -- Olivia Wilde

Sexiest Cyber Star -- Elin Kling of StylebyKling.com

Sexiest Up & Coming Knockout -- Elizabeth Olsen

Sexiest Tweeter -- Kristen Bell

Beyonce took "Sexiest Mom" and Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mitchell, whose is of Filipino descent, was named in the "Sexiest TV Cast" category along with her three castmates -- so technically she's only 1/4 "sexy."

The rest of the women on the list are predominantly blonde. Not even brunettes could catch a break.
