Nearly a
month after Chris Hemsworth was awarded the coveted title of People's Sexiest
Man Alive, 22-year-old model and actress Kate Upton was awarded the title of
Sexiest Woman Alive.
The
announcement was made at the inaugural People Magazine Awards, held Thursday at
the Beverly Hilton Hotel, making Upton the first woman to ever receive the
title.

Upton, best
known for her work as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover model and for
her role in the romantic comedy The Other Woman, took the stage in a
curve-hugging black dress to accept the award.
"This
is such an honor to me because sexy to me means someone who's confident and
happy, and that's the person I always strive to be," Upton told the
audience as she accepted her trophy.

The winners
at the People Magazine Awards are not chosen by fans, but are selected by
editors at People and sister publication Entertainment Weekly. Some of the
night's other big winners included Karlie Kloss for Model of the Year, Kate
Hudson for Celebrity Role Model of the Year, Jimmy Fallon for Talk Show Host of
the Year and Gwen Stefani for Style Icon of the Year, among others.
Upton was
the first model to appear solo on two different covers of the SI Swimsuit
Edition, and in 2013 she talked to ET about the honor. Check out the video

wear."
