Orlando Bloom's supermodel wife Miranda Kerr has been named the Sexiest Woman Alive by Britain's Esquire magazine.

The Australian stunner shares the Esquire crown with Mila Kunis, who was named America's Sexiest Woman last month (Oct12).

The Victoria's Secret angel, who is a new mum, graces the cover of the new men's magazine wearing nothing but a pair of purple panties.

In the accompanying interview, Kerr suggests her fun and flirtatious spirit is what makes her sexy: "It's second nature to me. I don't really think of rules, as long as it's classy and timeless and it's something I wouldn't be ashamed of. I believe in celebrating the female figure and embracing what we've been given."
