Aside from strutting her stuff as a VS Angel, Maxwell’s career has been defined by shows for Balmain and Versace as well as editorial in Elle and Vogue. Emerging just across the Tasman, the Kiwi star was also rumoured to be dating Miley Cyrus at one point – who took out MAXIM’s same title back in 2013 at the height of her polarising music career.
Taking to Instagram to speak on her latest accolade, Maxwell said that “I want to share this with all the women around the world because we are all Number 1.” Seeing as she did take out the gold medal, it’s fitting that she stepped in with MAXIM for a racy shoot where she’s dressed in only gold jewellery and undergarments.
See the shoot below by Gilles Bensimon for MAXIM, and stay tuned for their full Hot 100 list on June 14:
