1. Angelina Jolie (Gia, 1998)
Angelina Jolie. Could it be any other? Although arguments could rage for weeks and months to decide who should truly occupy the sexiest woman in the world slot, this list deals with those actors and actresses willing to make a risky role risqué. Which is something Jolie does with an unbridled enthusiasm that would give a heart attack to most elderly gentlemen, not to mention the ladies. From her passionate love scenes which occupy the space of legend (Antonio Banderas fans should also take note, appearing with Jolie in Original Sin), through to the film that occupies this space Gia (1998) Angelina Jolie takes risqué roles and then makes them explode. She provides sultry sex appeal whenever it suits her without stretching the role or making the sex appeal a distasteful addition unnecessary to the film. Angelina Jolie is the master (or rather, mistress) of risqué and so, she takes the top spot of our top ten risqué performances from superstar actors. If you think we've missed the very best, or have gotten our order completely wrong let us know who's your number one in the comments!
