For the first time in the magazine's history, readers were allowed to vote for the hotties, and there was overwhelming support for the 26-year-old Israeli stunner, reported Daily Star.
"Every year, it's a different girl that I look up to. For me to be among them, it's an honour," Refaeli said.
The single model is hoping the honour will help her find a mate she can settle down with and start a family.
"I'm looking for a friend that will make me laugh, that will teach me every day - that I can learn from, and that has the same values as me. It sounds very simple but it's very hard to find," she added.
Also making the top 10 list are Mila Kunis, Katy Perry, Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Megan Fox, Malin Akerman and Adrianne Palicki.
