Jennifer Lawrence beats Rihanna with others to FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World

Oscar winning actress 'Jennifer Lawrence' is this year's Sexiest Woman in the World, according to FHM. The British magazine has unveiled its 2014 Top 100 list of the hottest girls around the globe and the "Silver Linings Playbook" star claims the throne, jumping from last year's No. 20.

Rihanna came third while Beyonce came 7th and Scarlett Johansson is number 10. 

Their annual FMH 100 Sexiest was released yesterday.

"I'm totally taken back by this, it really does mean a lot," the 23-year-old beauty says of the honor. "Thank you so much to the readers of FHM and everyone who took the time and voted for me, I'm so flattered. I believe that being 'sexy' isn't wearing lots of heavy make-up or having the perfect hair or figure, it's about self-confidence, being comfortable with yourself, smiling and being happy!"
