Named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive in 2011
Though her artistic accomplishments are impressive in and of themselves, Rihanna has also been praised for her looks as well as her talents. In October 2011, Esquire declared the singer the Sexiest Woman Alive for 2011, singling her out amid a number of other candidates. Sure you could see it as just one magazine's opinion, but it's definitely an honor any female celeb would be happy to receive. In a business where beautiful people are never in short supply, it's definitely an accomplishment to be able to stand out among the rest and be acknowledged.
