Nadine Lustre is the surprise frontrunner in an ongoing poll by FHM Philippines magazine that will determine this year’s 100 Sexiest Women.
Known for being one half of “Jadine,” her hugely popular love team with real-life boyfriend James Reid, Nadine first figured in the annual poll in 2015 when she was ranked number 49.
Last year, she emerged as an early frontrunner before she eventually ended up at the No. 3 spot. James famously admonished Jadine fans for supporting her in the poll which seemed to undermine her wholesome image.
Since then, however, Nadine has caused a stir on Instagram quite a few times with provocative photos of her wearing very revealing swimwear taken during beach holidays with James and her friends.
She has also appeared in a photo shoot clad only in black, lacy lingerie for her own signature perfume called Luster.
On Thursday, Nadine again flaunted her well-toned figure in a photo she herself posted on Instagram during her latest rendezvous with James in Caramoan, Camarines Sur.
It remains to be seen if Nadine can sustain her momentum as she faces stiff competition from two-time 100 Sexiest winner Angel Locsin, who has maintained her Top 10 standings since last topping the list in 2010. This year, Angel is currently ranked number 2.
Within striking distance of the prestigious title is Rhian Ramos who finished at No. 5 last year and graced the cover of the magazine’s July issue last year.
Jennylyn Mercado, voted FHM Sexiest Woman of 2015 and ranked No.2 last year, is currently at No. 4 while Ginebra 2017 calendar girl Kim Domingo is at No. 5.
FHM staples Ellen Adarna and Solenn Heussaff are ranked No. 6 and No. 7 respectively, followed by former winners Marian Rivera and Jessy Mendiola at Nos. 8 and 9.
Rounding up the Top 10 is Arci Muñoz, who was No. 7 last year. Arci’s career took off in a big way last year with well-received lead turns in “Always Be My Baby” and “Camp Sawi.” This year, she was cast as one of the leads in the sexy comedy, “Extra Service” will reunite with Gerald Anderson in the upcoming “Can We Still Be Friends?”.
