In both her interviews and live performances, Nicole Scherzinger exudes self-confidence and a true sense of strength, all while emanating an irresistible aura of femininity. She has gone on record saying that her favorite dance move is the “booty shake,” which she effortlessly pulls off at any given opportunity. Like Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears before her, Nicole Scherzinger is clearly not afraid to use her sexuality to accentuate her performances, which is why she landed at No. 70 on our 2007 Top 99 Most Desirable Women list and at No. 48 on the 2008 edition.

Aside from her gig as lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger also gained fame from her time with Eden’s Crush and her fledgling solo career. Her bread and butter, however, remains the Pussycat Dolls. And while the band’s corporate origins are routinely mocked, their commercial success is nothing to sniff at: Their 2005 album, PCD, sold more than six million copies worldwide.
