Candice Swanepoel

Few women truly deserve the title "Angel," but one look at Candice Swanepoel is all you need to know that the moniker fits. In fact, upon closer inspection, it's probably an understatement. The 5'9" supermodel is currently walking the runways for Victoria's Secret, joining an elite list of women who can turn us into drooling messes simply by striking a pose. Add a sexy accent to that mix, a humble upbringing (she grew up on a farm in South Africa) and an admirable predisposition to walking around in her underwear, and it's no wonder Swanepoel earned her wings.

In her memoir Bossypants, Tina Fey cheered Beyonce for "bringing back the leg meat." Well, Rihanna has taken that "leg meat" torch and run with it. Watching her dance makes us forget that we ever desired supermodels with sticks for legs. Even the snooty Brits can't get enough of her. When Coldplay's Chris Martin needed a female vocalist for his recent "Princess of China," he got Rihanna -- even though his wife Gwyneth Paltrow is trying to jumpstart her singing career. Sorry, Gwyneth, you've got no "leg meat."
