Ana de Armas Crowned Hottest Actress of 2025—Stealing Hearts While a Lowest-Ranked Star Fuels Jealousy Drama! What Did She Say to Spark the Feud?

Despite only being a small chunk into 2025, pop culture enthusiasts have already begun to band together to vote on who they believe is the “hottest” A-list actress of the year… so far.

As per the popular crowd-ranking website Ranker, thousands of fans have already been busy upvoting stars who they believe should be at the top of the list.

Although the results may vary once the year’s over, here are the top 15 female Hollywood stars who have been voted for the most as of the making of this list.

15/15 Sydney Sweeney


American actress Sydney Sweeney, most known for her role as Cassie in the hit TV show Euphoria, kicks off this list at number 15.

Sweeney’s rise to fame may have felt like an overnight success, however, the Madame Web star has been busy working on her portfolio since her early years.

Starring in older titles such as Heroes and 90210, her roles in The Handmaid’s Tale and Euphoria shot her into immense fame, which led to leading roles on the silver screen.

14/15 Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence, who was initially launched into stardom as Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games” movie franchise, lands at number 14.

After becoming a household star in the early 2010s, Lawrence has since taken on multiple memorable roles, such as the younger Mystique in the then-20th Century Fox “X-Men” movie franchise.

With the fans she has racked up over the years, it’s no surprise she made the list.

13/15 Kate Beckinsale

English actress Kate Beckinsale was once one of the most popular on-screen female stars in the world, taking the world by storm as Selene in the action/horror “Underworld” movies.

Outside of the world of vampires and werewolves, Beckinsale starred alongside the likes of the legendary Hugh Jackman in Van Helsing and the hilarious Adam Sandler in Click.

Although her career has slowed down in more recent years, she will forever remain an icon in the hearts of her millions of fans.

12/15 Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot took the world by storm as DC’s Diana Prince in Zack Snyder’s take on the darker superhero universe, coined by fans as the “Snyderverse” or “DC Extended Universe” aka the DCEU.

Since then, her work has spanned from actions to comedies, with her fandom increasingly rising throughout the years, landing her on lists such as this one.

However, her more recent performance as Disney’s live-action Evil Queen in Snow White alongside Rachel Zegler may have knocked down her points on the fandom scale.

Let’s just pretend that one didn’t happen…

11/15 Jenna Ortega


Next on the list at number 11, we have Wednesday star Jenna Ortega.

From playing Harley Diaz in Disney’s Stuck in the Middle to her later work in titles such as 2022’s XYes Day, the Scream sequels, and more… Ortega’s quite the icon these days.

It’s almost impossible not to catch a glimpse of her at least once when scrolling through social media feeds in 2025, and her fans just can’t get enough.

10/15 Alexandra Daddario

Alexandra Daddario is often named as one of the most beautiful female stars in the industry, with her piercing blue eyes and other assets often being praised by millions.

The Baywatch star’s role as Annabeth in Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief and its sequel, Sea of Monsters, landed her a justified rise in fame.

She went on to star in more adult titles such as True Detective and The White Lotus, holding on to that blue eyed-charm that she has had since the beginning.

9/15 Elizabeth Olsen


Elizabeth Olsen may just be one of the most beloved female stars of this generation.

Her role as Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch in the MCU is by far her most celebrated by fans, with her work in the Marvel movie machine boosting her fame to heights never before-seen in her career.

Olsen’s character was so beloved, she even got her own spinoff series, WandaVision.

However, you may also know Olsen from titles such as Wind RiverHis Three DaughtersVery Good Girls, and a wide array of performances under her belt.

8/15 Emma Watson


Unless you’ve been living under a very big rock, you’ve probably heard of Emma Watson.

Best known for her iconic performance as Hermione Granger in the beloved “Harry Potter” movie saga, based on the works by J. K. Rowling, Watson ranks in at number 8 on this ranking.

Despite Rowling writing Hermione as more of an ugly duckling character who later blossoms into stereotypical beauty, the author admitted that she failed to achieve that with Watson.

The author may have been convinced that she was her live-action Hermione after hearing her voice, however, she was slightly disappointed that nothing could tone down her natural good looks.

Watson later went on to play a live-action Disney princess, taking on the role of Belle in 2017’s Beauty and the Beast alongside Dan Stevens and Luke Evans.

7/15 Salma Hayek


Mexican-American actress and film producer Salma Hayek is by far one of the most recognisable household names and faces of the 21st century.

Her iconic performances throughout her film career, mixed with her beauty, rank her at number 7 on this list, although her fans may argue she deserves an even higher spot.

One of her most notable roles is as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo in the biographical 2002 film, Frida, for which she became the first Mexican actress to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

6/15 Lily Collins


Best known for her role as the titular character in Netflix’s Emily in Paris, Lily Collins was ranked as the 6th hottest female Hollywood star of 2025 so far.

Although she has become somewhat of a household name these recent years, eagle-eyed fans will notice her surname bears a resemblance to the iconic singer Phil Collins; well, that’s because he’s her dad.

Yes, she is a “nepo baby”, but her fans don’t seem to be overly bothered by that fact.

She also recently starred in 2024′ MaXXXine as Molly, and previously starred in titles such as To The BoneThe Blind Side, and as J. R. R. Tolkien’s wife Edith in Tolkien alongside Nicholas Hoult.

5/15 Victoria Justice


American actress and singer Victoria Justice, known for her breakout role in Zoey 101 and rise-to-fame role in Victorious, comes in at number 5 on this list.

Although she is typically seen in the world of television, Justice has also dipped her toes in the movie industry, having had roles in titles such as The First Time and Fun Size.

4/15 Jessica Alba

Breaking out on the scene as supersoldier Max in Dark Angel, Jessica Alba has been a beloved actress for decades now, having garnered millions of fans worldwide.

Although she has starred in various titles, her most popular role is by far as Marvel’s Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, in 2005’s Fantastic Four.

She then reprised her role in 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Her most recent role is in the Netflix action/thriller Trigger Warning.

3/15 Scarlett Johansson

Who doesn’t love Scarlett Johansson?

This list wouldn’t make sense without this icon being included in at least the top 3.

She is best known for playing Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, in the massive Marvel Cinematic Universe in various titles.

However, her work as the character may be done for good after Avengers: Endgame, unless she returns as an evil variant in the franchise’s multiverse storyline… would you be surprised?

She may have no public plans on returning as an Avenger any time soon; however, if you’re a fan of Scarlett and love dinos, Jurassic World Rebirth is your safest bet.

2/15 Margot Robbie

This Australian blonde bombshell continued to be an icon, from playing Naomi in The Wolf of Wall Street to DC’s Harley Quinn and Barbie – Margot Robbie just seems to keep scoring points.

The Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood star ranks as the 2nd hottest actress in Hollywood this year so far, according to the thousands who voted, which isn’t overly surprising.

She may be done with the DC Universe, for now, but she is now apparently setting her sights on video game movie adaptations, as a Monopoly movie is said to be in the works.

1/15 Ana de Armas

Ranking in at number one on this list is Knives Out star Ana de Armas, who is unsurprisingly currently this year’s hottest actress, so far, as per those who voted.

Some of her notable acting work includes starring in titles such as Blade Runner 2049 alongside Ryan Gosling and No Time to Die alongside Daniel Craig’s James Bond.

Her next big action role will be in the universe of John Wick, in this year’s Ballerina, in which she plays skilled assassin Eve Macarro.
