Sexy Dresses Under $100

Belted LWD
Talk about white hot! Use one of summer's It colors to amp up your tan—just ask Cameron Diaz.
Polyester dress, Miss Selfridge, $74; missselfridge.com.

Full-Skirted Print Dress
Hello, color! Amp up your wardrobe with a bright, strapless mini. Take a tip from Blake Lively: don't compete with the vivid pattern—opt for classic stilettos and a sleek ponytail instead.
Cotton poplin dress, Delia's, $40; delias.com.

Plunging Mini
The already seductive LBD gets an extra jolt of va-va-va-voom from a modern, curve-enhancing silhouette. Cap sleeves make this design more seasonal than Zoe Saldana's version, but the deep V is year-round sexy.
Cotton dress, AllSaints Spitalfields, $95; allsaints.com.

Red Maxi Dress
Nothing sizzles like this eye-catching hue. Style trick: cinch your design with a skinny belt a la Malin Akerman—head-to-toe scarlet's hotter when you can see your curves!
Laser-cut dress, H&M, $40; hm.com for stores.

Bright Shift
You don't need to show a lot of skin to turn heads. A form-fitting dress in Scarlett Johansson's sunny yellow hue is all-day sexy. Top it off with a cardigan and flats for an afternoon get-together then toss that outer layer and add heels for a night on the town.
Polyester shift, ASOS, $83; asos.com.

Jennifer Lopez named 'Most Beautiful Woman'

NEW YORK, April 13 (UPI) -- People magazine has declared New York-born singer and actress Jennifer Lopez the World's Most Beautiful Woman.

Lopez, a mother of 3-year-old twins and judge on TV's "American Idol," appears on the cover of the magazine's Most Beautiful issue, on newsstands Wednesday.

Despite her glamorous image, the 41-year-old star said she doesn't wear any makeup when she's home with her husband singer Marc Anthony and their kids.

"That's when I'm my happiest," she said in an interview with the magazine. "Just being able to touch my face and rub my eyes and put my fingers in my hair and not having to worry about messing it up. It's so much better."

Lopez emphasized she works very hard to stay in shape.

"The thing is, it's part of my job," she said. "I don't want anybody thinking it's easy. It does take time and it's hard work. HDTV wide-screen is nobody's friend!"

Also featured in People's Most Beautiful issue are Zac Efron, Kellan Lutz, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria and Jennifer Hudson.

Ryan Reynolds was named People's Sexiest Man Alive last November.

Jennifer Lopez is all smiles as she and her husband Marc Anthony appear at a news conference to announce "The Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony" collections in partnership with Kohl's department stores at The London West Hollywood Hotel in West Hollywood, California, on November 18, 2010. Kohl's will be the exclusive provider of the contemporary lifestyle brands in the U.S. and it will be available nationwide in Fall 2011, beginning with women's and men's apparel and accessories.
