This year's poll, supported by VO5 Extreme Style, will launch with a celebrity party at stunning London venue One Marylebone, on Wednesday 4 May.
Now in its 17th year, FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World is still the original and biggest search for the planet's sexiest women, say the publishers.
Can reigning champion Cheryl Cole hold on to her crown for a third consecutive year? Will she be toppled by newcomers Frankie Sandford, Jessie J or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley? Could previous winners Kelly Brook, Megan Fox or Britney Spears challenge her to the title once more? And just how sexy is Princess-in-waiting Kate Middleton?
All will be revealed when the results are published in FHM's June issue, on sale on Thursday 5 May.
Voting closes on 31st March.
