Named as Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive for this year, Kate Beckinsale graced the cover of the magazine's upcoming issue, with a striking raunchy pose stripping down to her undergarments. An exclusive more than two-minute video capturing the movie beauty doing the photo shoot for the spread has also been unleashed. The footage is directed by Greg Williams and features music "Hollywood" by Jet, Aceshowbiz online reported.
Speaking of her new predicate, Beckinsale said, "This whole notion of being named Sexiest Woman Alive is going to earn me quite a beating. You can't have that title with four brothers. I'll get wedgies. Headlocks. Noogies."
"I'm feeling that I must earn this - I need to go out and become much better at pole dancing or something," the actress added.
Heralded as the Sexiest Women Alive, Beckinsale takes the crown from Halle Berry, who was handed the predicate last year.
The wife of film director Len Wiseman can next be seen starring in comedy-drama movie 'Everybody's Fine', which is slated for December 4 US release.
