Top 10 Hottest Blondes: Modern

When our first lady landed onto our small screens in September 2007, Blake Lively was the name on everybody's lips! The "Gossip Girl" actress quickly became a teen TV superstar, but she was turning heads for more than just her acting talents... In short, Lively is lovely! Subsequent roles in movies such as "Green Lantern" (where she met her future husband, Ryan Reynolds), and "Savages" have only accelerated her attractiveness, as Blake brings a brilliant beginning to today's blondeness!

Today's hair color has its own special spot within high fashion circles, and Heidi Klum has to be the best blonde on the catwalk! A model turned entrepreneur, she succeeds in almost everything she does, and exceeds almost everyone else when it comes to looking good! Klum laughs away the less favorable blonde stereotypes... She's a woman who carries wow factor at whatever age... A superstar with constant surprises up her sleeve... A 21st century icon and then some!

It's a long way from Ramsay Street to Wall Street, but Margot Robbie has been able to make the switch with sensational results! The one-time "Neighbours" actress is now an all-out international film star, particularly after being cast in Martin Scorsese's 2013 blockbuster, "The Wolf of Wall Street"! A movie in which Leonardo DiCaprio's Jordan Belfort chooses Robbie's Naomi to share within his substantial wealth, it's clear to see it wasn't a difficult choice to make! She looks like more than a million dollars!

Probably best known for her role as Betty Draper in "Mad Men", it would take a mad man to contest January Jones' inclusion on this list! Her character is the stereotypically dissatisfied housewife in the long-running series... For Betty, having given up her career as a model, it's a massive case of 'what might've been'! Jones is just phenomenally attractive... Blonde hair rarely looks better than it does on her head!

So hot her name has to be repeated, with Shakira we head to South America, and to some 'seeing is believing' hips, that definitely do not lie! This Colombian songstress has had guys and gals salivating at her every move ever since the early 2000s, when she broke onto the English language mainstream pop charts with her album "Laundry Service"! Lead single "Whenever, Wherever" smashed all sorts of records, and became an adequate description of how often Shakira-fuelled fantasies could erupt within the everyday mind!

This list only gets hotter as we head into its top half, as Sienna Miller makes us love the blonde lady even more! A household name for much of this millennium, this actress has been a certified sex bomb for just as long! Sienna was the sweetest thing about "Layer Cake", an object of understandable affections in "Alfie"... Whilst roles in 2014 blockbusters "Foxcatcher" and "American Sniper" could keep her on screens a fair while longer, which is never a bad thing!

A model who makes the occasional move into acting, Kate Upton is one of the most perfect pin-ups of modern times! A “Sports Illustrated” superstar, she was named rookie of the year by the men's magazine after her 2011 appearance, and she made the cover of consecutive swimsuit editions in 2012 and '13! There are very few fashion boxes that this blonde hasn't ticked, and with good reason! To think that Kate couldn't quite pinch a place on the podium is the greatest testament to our top three!

She's one of the biggest film stars of this generation, and she's one of the most beautiful as well! Jennifer Lawrence continually has us hungry for more with "The Hunger Games", and she was first class in "X-Men: First Class", but perhaps she reached her pinnacle, in terms of this list at least, playing Rosalyn Rosenfeld in "American Hustle"! An angsty, fiery, definitely well-dressed and most importantly blonde haired character - she brings the classic look into the contemporary cinema!

A seasoned Hollywood star, Charlize Theron's success stories do not look set to end any time soon, and her sexiness is as sure of a thing in the 2010s, as it was when she first caught attention in the late 1990s! The South African born actress never fails to look awesome, whether she’s appearing as the Wife in "The Road", Meredith Vickers in "Prometheus", or as Mary Ann Lomax in "The Devil's Advocate"! Whatever she does, she wows with talent and attractiveness in equal measure!

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
- Gwen Stefani
- Amber Heard
- Gisele Bündchen
- Brooklyn Decker
- Cameron Diaz

This list has been a brimful of blonde ambition, but it could only ever be Scar-Jo to scoop the top spot! Superlatives fall short when describing this New Yorker's desirability, as she seems to consistently reinvent what it is to be 'hot', 'sexy', 'beautiful' or any other complimentary adjective we might care to coin! Her best blonde bits include "Don Jon", "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", and "The Prestige"... As well as many, many other movies, each as mesmerizing as the last!
