`The definitive guide to who and what is sexy right now
`
`Movie stars
`
`Today even the most mysterious stars seem more accessible than in the
`eras of Valentino and Garbo. But that doesn't mean they've got less luster,
`or that we've got less lust.
`
`(cid:122) Scarlett Johansson Outside, this golden girl seems prep-school
`proper; inside, a palpable sensuality and keen intelligence make her
`collegial and come-hither.
`
`(cid:122) Clive Owen He broods, he glowers, and no matter what the role, you
`can't take your eyes off his craggy face. Like a downmarket Richard Burton
`on steroids.
`
`(cid:122) Jessica Alba Whether she's a noir angel or a Day-Glo comic-book
`heroine, she raises the room temperature with her purr and pout.
`
`(cid:122) Orlando Bloom He seems like a nice English boy who happened into
`swashbuckling, and the almost teenage tender look on his
`twentysomething face got girls flocking to elf and pirate movies.
`
`(cid:122) Zhang Ziyi Don'tlet her reflective eyes and butterfly shoulder blades
`deceive you: This sultry Chinese beauty is always ready to strike.
`
`(cid:122) Jamie Foxx Cool and crisp, the newly minted Oscar winner oozes self-
`confidence, and knows it. Somehow all that — and his neck tattoo —
`shouldn't work, but it does.
`
`(cid:122) Salma Hayek We'll avoid cliches like "spicy" and "spitfire," and just
`call this Mexican actress-producer a jawdropper in any language.
`
`(cid:122) Gael García Bernal Some fans respond to his poetic soul; others to

`
`his unambiguously pretty looks. That plus his good taste is a deadly
`combo.
`
`(cid:122) Rosario Dawson The embodiment of fearlessness, and oh, that
`attitude: It's like she's thinking, "If you can't handle what I've got, the hell
`with you." Sign us up.
`
`(cid:122) Angelina Jolie Just because.
`
`Joe Neumaier
`
`Clothes
`
`What's sexier than clothes? Taking them off. But the thrill of nudity aside,
`sometimes it's what you can't see that's sexier than what you can. No one
`does sexy better than New York designers, so here are the randiest runway
`finds from Spring 2005. As to whether they'd look better crumpled up at
`the foot of your bed, leave that to the cheesy pickup lines.
`
`(cid:122) Anna Sui's cowboy boots and skirts Like she woke up on a ranch
`and did the walk of shame home in his boots.
`
`(cid:122) Proenza Schouler's gold bustiers Armor that makes us amorous.
`
`(cid:122) Trikinis at Rosa Cha Naomi Campbell…in a bathing suit held
`together by strings. Need we say more?
`
`(cid:122) Models strolling happily in flat, beaded sandals by Michael
`Kors Who says women need to suffer to be beautiful?
`
`(cid:122) Carlos Miele's slit-to-there floaty dresses the color of the
`ocean The Brazilian designer says just dive in!
`
`(cid:122) Marc Jacobs' hot pink sequin platform Mary Janes So ladylike,
`so '80s, so sure to get a girl noticed.
`
`(cid:122) Mannequins in DKNY at Pastis Sexy — and delicious.
`
`(cid:122) Shirtless male models in Zang Toi's white suits Like "Miami
`Vice," only hotter.
`
`(cid:122) Slick python jacket by Luella Bartley Worn over a barely-there
`bikini.
`
`(cid:122) Chiffon, chiffon and more chiffon by Matthew Williamson
`Sexiest floating from behind, as she's walking away.

`
`We like our gadgets the way we like our
`models: thin with knockout features and ready to entertain. The Sony
`Cyber-shot DSC-T7, out next month, is a mere half-inch thick but packed
`with goodies, including a 3X optical zoom lens. For gamers, the half-
`pound PlayStation Portable (above left) arrived on March 24. But there are
`other hot items on the high-tech horizon that are sure to invoke gear-envy.
`

`capability; $249.

`
`Books
`
`Sexy reads are still mostly about the "O," since guy-lit
`isn't yet as seductive as chicklit, although Davitt
`Sigerson certainly turns up the heat in "Faithful." And
`speaking of the "O," possibly the hottest title on the
`shelves is "Secrets of the Sexually Satisfied Woman,"
`which is a sexual makeover between hardcovers. Read,
`and … well, that's your business.

`
`TV Stars
`
`Despite "Nipplegate"-inflicted conservatism, sizzling housewives and
`hunky lawyers — or should that be the other way 'round? — are generating
`plenty of heat on TV today. Here are the sexiest small-screen stars of the
`moment.

`
`Sexy songs can slink through a thousand different moods. They're as
`widely defined — and as fickle — as the ways of attraction itself. Most of
`the aural lures below can be found somewhere on the current radio dial.
`While each appeals to a different taste and sensibility, in the right moment
`they all have the skill to make you weak.
`
`(cid:122) "Candy Shop" 50 Cent with Olivia: Smutty sex, with a witty twist.
`
`(cid:122) "Finding Out True Love Is Blind" Louis XIV: Slumming sex, where
`the singer sarcastically condescends to his prey.
`
`(cid:122) "Soldier" Destiny's Child (pictured) with T.I.: Macho sex, with the
`women singers ogling the stud of their dreams.
`
`(cid:122) "Ordinary People" John Legend: Sensual sex, communicated
`through a croon that caresses.
`
`(cid:122) "Filthy Gorgeous" Scissor Sisters: Campy sex, full of pluck and
`sarcasm.
`
`(cid:122) "10 a.m. Automatic" Black Keys: Grinding sex, fired by a low-down
`bluesy beat.
`
`(cid:122) "Strawberry Lover" Jesse Klein: Yearning sex, driven by angst and
`prayer.
`
`(cid:122) "The Man I Love" Caetano Veloso: Homoerotic sex, made all the
`more powerful by the fact that the singer isn't gay.
`
`(cid:122) "Heaven" Los Lonely Boys: Romantic sex, communicating a sense of
`connection.
`
`(cid:122) "Desafinado" Lisa Hannigan and Damien Rice: Refreshing sex, via a
`lemony light cover of a song written by the bard of bossa nova, Antonio
`Carlos Jobim.

`
`Restaurants
`
`What gives a restaurant sex appeal? Not something as
`obvious as beds in the dining room, as in the case of
`the voyeuristic Duvet. Sometimes sexy is as simple as
`the slope of a spoon, or the way two caramelized
`scallops butt flesh in a lemon grass bath. Sometimes
`one well-placed candle can be as sexy as 100 oy-sters
`reclining with abandon on ice. Sometimes sexy means
`being eye-to-eye with your waitress' pierced navel,
`Coltrane on the soundtrack, or a leather banquette so
`soft you can't stop caressing it. One way or another,
`the dining rooms listed here deliver on the frisson
`front.

`
`Vacation spots
`
`So many things can make a travel destination sexy, from hot locals and
`romantic beaches to succulent food and sizzling nightclubs. But be warned
`— just when a place gets a reputation for sexiness, that's usually when all
`those average joes show up. Pack your libido for a trip to one of these 10
`hot spots.
