Halle Berry Named 'Sexiest Woman Alive'

Becoming a mom hasn't affected Halle Berry's sex appeal -- she's just been voted the sexiest woman alive by Esquire magazine.

"I don't know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I'll take it," says Berry, who gave birth to her daughter, Nahla, in March.

"Sexiness is a state of mind — a comfortable state of being," she says. "It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments."

But Berry -- who won an Oscar for her role in Monster's Ball -- can't claim the sexiest-woman honor all to herself.

"I share this title with every woman, because every woman is a nominee for it at any moment," she says.
