The 9 Most Beautiful Mexican Women According To Maxim Magazine

1. Jessica Alba



Little surprise here. Preggers or not, this Mexican-French-and-Danish bombshell is hotter than jalapeños doused in napalm. At least that´s what we´re led to believe after she raked in over 40 percent of your votes.

2. Salma Hayek



Her upcoming project has her voicing a dog in Beverly Hills Chihuahua, but here´s to hoping she´ll get back in front of the camera soon. Why? Her roles frequently have her yelling sternly in fluent Spanish. Feisty!

3. Ninel Conde



There´s never been a better reason to score a passport and learn Spanish than this local soap star. Well, besides the eminent recession and irritable bowel syndrome.

4. Eva Longoria



You´ve seen her on Desperate Housewives, courtside at Spurs games, and fixed atop Maxim´s Hot 100 for two consecutive years. Frustratingly, the only place you haven´t seen her is trying on bikinis in your living room.

5. Anahí



She is most known for her role in Rebelde, a Mexican…wait for it…that´s right, telenovela! The show, which starred her and the other members of the pop group RBD, relied heavily on English-language phrases for humor. Ay, caramba!

6. Paulina Rubio



Her nickname, the Golden Girl, might cue bitter visuals of Betty White. But you kids saw right past that and voted for her despite her perfectly bronzed skin, sexy moves, and totally non-raisin-like body.

7. Thalía



This multiple Latin Grammy and Latin Billboard Awards nominee is also known as the “Queen of Telenovelas.” Which is made more remarkable by the fact that every woman in Mexico has, at some point in her life, starred in a telenovela.

8. Mayrin Villanueva



It was at one time rumored that Mayrin would be the next Bond girl. That job has since gone to Ukrainian-model-turned-actress Olga Kurylenko, but we don´t know why they can´t share the role. Dos is company!

9. Marlene Favela



At five-foot-nine-inches, this gorgeous model has appeared in 14 telenovelas (Latin-American soap operas), placing her among the rarified air of, oh, let´s say Charo and the guy who dresses like a bee.
