As the new millennium turned over, these were the girls that turned everyone on! Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’re counting down our picks for the top 10 sexiest women per decade: 2000s!

For this list, we've looked at only the sexiest women of the 2000s. There are no criteria specifics regarding their profession, we've included all famous females for this one! This is part of a series of videos on the Top 10 Sexiest Women spanning the decades from the '70s to the 2000s. Enjoy!

To begin today's sexy show, a little bit of J-Lo! The singer and actress was just about the hottest personality in all of Hollywood at the turn of the century, and she had one of the hottest bodies in the world! Desired especially for her perfect derrière, every music video and movie that Miss Lopez starred in was well worth taking a few minutes out of your day for! And that Versace dress at the Grammys... A stunning something that we'll simply never forget! How fans wish Jenny was from their block!

So hot we sing her name twice, Shakira came out of Colombia in the 21st century and took over as the sex symbol of pop music! The video for hit single "Whenever, Wherever" had fans daydreaming about her whenever, wherever... In fact, the entire Laundry Service album had people rethinking the sexual promise that household chores could bring! "Hips Don't Lie" proved the best-selling single of the century until that point, and that's the truth! Is it any wonder when her hips, and her body in general, look like that!?

She 'hit us baby one more time' at the end of the '90s before becoming a sex icon of the 2000s! First she 'Oopsed and did it again', then she was 'a slave 4 us', and then she 'wasn't a girl, but wasn't yet a woman'... All of those things combined with an “is she/isn't she” saga surrounding her virginity, made Britney seriously, seriously attractive! Sure, she shaved her head amidst a breakdown in '07, but we're prepared to leave Britney alone on that one, because her glory days were gorgeous!

She began the decade as our 'Dark Angel', she ended it as our every-kind of angel! Jessica Alba's rise to stardom was seriously sexy! As Bruce Willis astutely observes, she 'grew up and filled out' for her role in "Sin City", before teasing audiences further in a skin-tight get-up as Sue Storm in "Fantastic Four"! Equally as eye-catching as 'girl next door' Cam Wexler in "Good Luck Chuck", in that movie she works at a penguin enclosure - which must've been difficult considering how hot she is...! We thank you!

For this lady, things are very much a case of 'Fox is as foxy does'! Megan Fox kick-started her career by 'confessing as a teenage drama queen' in 2004, before her major breakthrough role as Mikaela Banes in "Transformers" in 2007! A movie which transformed her Hollywood profile, and transformed our ideas of sexiness, the dark-haired dream-girl even had the decency to reprise her role for an '09 sequel! That face, that body, that attitude... Surely she came from outer space along with Optimus Prime and co.!

Germany has a magnificent history within the world of modelling, and Heidi Klum is easily one of the country's most excellent exports! Having signed with Victoria's Secret in 1997, Klum could be looked at for much of the 2000s in just her lingerie... And we’re guessing you did look! And then looked again... And then again... And... Just how does she do it?! The occasional foray into acting meant we even had the odd opportunity to ogle her in moving film! Ogle away people, ogle away!

There aren't many people who could win an Oscar for playing gruesome serial killer Aileen Wuornos and be selected as one of the sexiest women of all time, but Charlize Theron isn't like many other people! Theron is a class actress, and an even classier lady! Appropriately sure of herself and her sexiness, she has been able to take on intense, sometimes uncomfortable roles, and still wow us whenever she walks the red carpet! She can please, she can tease, she could have you on your knees could Charlize!

Frequently called the “most beautiful woman in the world,” Aishwarya Rai was thrust into acting after being crowned Miss World 1994. Originally a model, Rai made her acting debut in 1997, and it she quickly became a mainstay in Bollywood cinema, appearing in various commercial hits throughout the 2000s. Lending her gorgeous face to ads for global brands like Pepsi and L’Oreal, Rai is not only considered sexy for her looks but also for her humanitarian efforts, which include efforts to eradicate polio and poverty.

After completely outshining Winona Ryder in "Girl, Interrupted", Angelina Jolie rode into this decade on the coattails of her own Oscar success... And she did so in the most desirable way possible! The word 'luscious' doesn't do Jolie's lips justice, and if the eyes are the windows to the soul, then her soul is scorchin' hot! We haven't even begun to describe Angelina's body, but that's only because it leaves us speechless! The first five letters of her name sum her up entirely - she must be heaven-sent!

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
- Natalie Portman
- Elisha Cuthbert
- Halle Berry
- Kate Beckinsale
- Penélope Cruz
- Jessica Simpson
- Anna Kournikova
- Lucy Liu

To out-sexify the likes of Jolie and Theron, you have to be truly something - and Monica Bellucci is definitely that! The Italian model turned actress is just achingly attractive! After roles in various European movies including "Irreversible", Bellucci's part as Persephone in "The Matrix Reloaded" had audiences rewinding to watch her scenes again! Best known as a face of fashion however, for the second half of the decade she was Dior's leading lady! Her résumé goes unrivalled; her prettiness unparalleled, her sex appeal is unsurpassable!
