Wide World of Women

The remaining field after Round 2 of Sexiest Woman of 2021:

TOP EIGHT JUNIORS:
Camila Mendes--37%
Anya Taylor-Joy--27%
Hailee Steinfeld--19%
Ariel Winter--8%
Dove Cameron--4%
Victoria Justice--3%
Camila Cabello and Alexis Ren--1%

And to make it ten: in no particular order, I went with Zendaya and Selena Gomez.

TOP TEN SENIORS:
Olivia Munn--42%
Alison Brie, Nina Dobrev, and Julianne Hough--14%
Margot Robbie--5%
Taylor Swift--4%
Jessica Alba and Sophia Bush--3%
Jennifer Garner and Carrie Underwood--1%

TOP SEVEN LEFTOVERS:
Nicole Scherzinger--38%
Alexandra Daddario--22%
Giada De Laurentiis, Gal Gadot, and Maria Menounos--10%
Olivia Rodrigo--5%
Elizabeth Olsen--4%

And to make it ten: Emily Ratajkowski, Mariska Hargitay, and Julianne Moore.

But we close out the first half with the Wild Card Round featuring these ten additional entrants; only one of them will be joining the remaining field in Round 3 when we resume in the fall, and they are:

Nikki Glaser
Joanna "JoJo" Levesque
Nicole Kidman (2001 winner)
Sofia Vergara
Penelope Cruz
Jessica Chastain
Heather Graham
Megan Fox
Lady Gaga
Megan Thee Stallion

Voting is now open, so get to it! (you can vote up to 10 times)

UPDATE (8/8): Nikki Glaser will be joining the others with 50%, holding off Megan Fox (39%) for the Wild Card slot.

And that concludes the first half of Sexiest Woman of 2021; time to take a much-needed breather before we resume with the second half and Round 3 in which the categories are merged, Kate Beckinsale (last year's third-place finisher) joins the party, and all bets are off as the field whittles down to 20.

It all goes down on Monday, September 20!!!
