Jennifer Aniston has been named the Sexiest Woman of All Time.

The Friends With Benefits star - who is currently dating Justin Theroux - beat off competition from the likes of screen legend Marilyn Monroe, pop icon Madonna and Angelina Jolie to top the poll by Men's Health.

However, the 42-year-old beauty admitted French actress Bridgitte Bardot and feminist Gloria Steinem top her personal list. "It's a tie between Bridgitte Bardot and Gloria Steinem. But if I had to choose one, I'd say Gloria because, well, she's the full package. That's sexy."

"Funny is sexy, and Jennifer Aniston is funny. Her down-to-earth persona makes her seem attainable. And her all-too-human love life off screen inspires sympathy that not even a string of bland romantic comedies can diminish. Other sex symbols drift toward one-dimensionality, becoming flat icons in the process, but throughout her career Aniston has remained sexy, funny, and unmistakably real," Men's Health wrote.
