This past decade can truly be dubbed
the naughties. From fashion pages to TV Guides and, of course, men’s magazines — gorgeous women don the covers to draw us in. Many covergirls have done these years justice by gracing our publications with taut bodies and luscious locks. Here are 15 of the greatest magazine covergirls of the decade
so far. Who will we see at magazine stands this final year? Whoever it may be, they’ll have to keep up the pace set by these lovely ladies.
Scarlett Johansson
Actress
Scarlett Johansson has graced the silver screen since her 1994 debut in the film
North. She recently expanded her horizons by releasing an album in September 2009 and will be featured on Broadway. The beauty has been seen on the covers of everything from
Elle to
Vanity Fair. The cover above is from French
Vogue, April 2009.
Angelina Jolie
Sexpot Angelina Jolie was practically born into the business — she began modeling at the age of 14, and acting at 16. She shot into superstardom after her roles in
Girl, Interrupted and
Tomb Raider. Here she is on the cover of
Esquire, July 2007, but she has been on the cover of so many magazines — close to 175– it’d make your head hurt if she wasn’t so good to look at.
Charlize Theron
South African bombshell Charlize Theron is the first African to win an Academy Award in a major
acting category, receiving it for her role in
Monster. She gained status in the late 1990s with roles in
The Devil’s Advocate and
The Cider House Rules. She’s since graced many covers, like the sultry
GQ July 2008 issue above.
Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale, British actress, is best known from her roles in
Underworld,
Van Helsing, and
Pearl Harbor. Her first cover was in 1998, for the UK mag
Deluxe, and she has since stepped up to the big leagues. She caught the cover of the November 2009 issue of
Esquire, after being named the “Sexiest Woman Alive.”
Jessica Alba
Sexy Jessica Alba has been acting since the age of 13, when she first started appearing on television. She’s blossomed into quite a
beauty to say the least. Alba is frequently on
Maxim‘s “Hot 100″ list and was named “Sexiest Woman in the World” by
FHM in 2007. The cover of
GQ‘s April 2005 issue really got everyone’s motor going.
Britney Spears
Singer, dancer, songwriter Britney Spears revived teen pop in the 1990s with her debut
… Baby One More Time. She has since been on a veritable roller coaster ride of
divorce, baby momma drama and
rehab, but she’s on the rebound — slowly but surely. No matter her personal history, she’s one of the most famous covergirls of the decade, gracing around 200 magazine covers around the world since 1999 — including the sweetly sexy March 2008
Blender cover above.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Jennifer Love Hewitt gained popularity in
American culture in the FOX series
Party of Five, and then later, in
I Know What You Did Last Summer. She’s also done a bit of work in voice acting, but we just love to look at her. Hewitt has been a covergirl
every year since 1997, in a variety of magazines — one of her recent covers being the September 2009 issue of German
FHM.
Nicole Kidman
Fiery beauty Nicole Kidman is an American-born Australian actress known for her roles in
Dead Calm and critically acclaimed
The Hours. She first appeared as a covergirl in 1989 and has done many,
many covers since then. Kidman shines most recently on the December 2009
GQ cover — looking far younger than her 42 years.
Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera burst onto the scene in 1990 on the television series
Star Search, and has since turned American pop music upside down. Her look has changed over the years, going from dirty girl dreadlocks to classic glam blonde bombshell. She’s posed on many a
Rolling Stone cover, scantily clad — but this August 2006 issue is our favorite.
Eva Longoria
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria captured the attention of millions of women — and men — when the ABC series took off. She was named one of
FHM‘s “Sexiest Women in 2008″ and has appeared on many covers since 2004. Though she’s not on as many covers as
some of her compatriots on this list, she’s made an impression on us all.
Halle Berry
Gracing the covers of
magazines and the silver screen, actress Halle Berry has kept us drooling since her beauty queen days. Her role in
Monster’s Ball earned her an Academy Award and everyone else a pair of uncomfortable pants. Her first cover was in 1993, and her 2007
Esquire cover has the same effect today that it did then.
Jennifer Lopez
Bootylicious beauty Jennifer Lopez has kept us entertained as both a singer and
actress. Though she’s most well-known now for her careers in music and movies, she actually started out as a dancer on
In Living Color. Her role as covergirl has been consistent since 1998, and she dazzled on this October 2008
Elle issue.
Jessica Biel
Brunette beauty Jessica Biel played the tomboy for a chunk of her
career, but worked her way into America’s heart while doing it — with her work on
7th Heaven. Once she
blossomed, it was quickly noted that she was, well,
hot. We’ve not gone back since and we’re thankful she’s been on as many covers as she has, looking especially stunning on the June 2009 issue of
Allure.
Lindsay Lohan
Like her list counterpart Briney Spears,
Lindsay Lohan has had her career — and personal — ups and downs. Lohan started off as a cute little redhead in flicks like the revamped
Parent Trap, but has grown up to be quite the hottie. Putting her flops aside, we still love to look at her and her amazing covers, like the September 2009 issue of
Elle.
Megan Fox
Megan Fox has been compared to the likes of Angelina Jolie — in terms of looks at least. Her career as a mainstream actress is relatively new, and she’s faced a box office flop already with
Jennifer’s Body. The
Transformers franchise really kick-started her fame — and our attentions — and she has since fueled our fantasies with amazing shoots. A less mainstream cover, the May 2009 issue of
Empire is something you can add to your
collection.
