At People Magazine's inaugural awards show on Thursday supermodel Kate Upton won the title of Sexiest Woman. The 22-year-old bikini model, known for her killer curves and fierce photo shoots, told the crowd it was "such an honor" to win during her acceptance speech.
"Sexy to me means someone who's confident and happy," she said before joking around with her boyfriend, Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander.
"Clearly, Justin has it good," she added. "You're welcome, Justin!"
The Michigan-born model is a strong advocate for positive body image and told Vogue UK back in July that her mom taught her a lot about confidence.
"My mother always taught me that smiling when you walk into a room is the best beauty secret, so if I'm nervous when I walk in I just smile, and I think everyone warms to you quicker that way," she said. "Sometimes people look stern when I come on set, just because they're concentrating or getting ready for their day, but I'll chat and smile and finally I break them down!"
Last month People announced that "Thor" actor Chris Hemsworth was crowned as the 2014 Sexiest Man Alive. He told the magazine that he thought it was "pretty funny" he won but the title may have earned him a little bragging rights.
"I think you've bought me a couple weeks of bragging rights around the house," he said. "I can just say to [my wife], 'Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don't need to do the dishes anymore, I don't need to change nappies. I'm above that. I've made it now.'"
