10 Hottest Actresses of the Decade: Sexiest Blonde Women

Aida Ekberg
When it comes to the sexiest blonde actresses in Hollywood, it's tough to choose just 10, because there are just so many amazing blonde bombshell celebrities. But the actresses here are some of the hottest golden-haired women you'll ever see shining on the silver (and small!) screens, and whether they're young fresh faces or some of our older favorites, these blondes definitely make movies and TV more fun for us to watch:

January Jones - This sexiest of retro silver screen queens is one of the hottest actresses on this list, but she often gets overshadowed by the very shapely hour-glass silhouette cast by her voluptuous 'Mad Men' costar. However, January Jones has a Grace Kelly-esque touch of glamour and sex appeal about her, making it very hard to choose which of the women of the show drive men madder. But when it comes to the sexiest actresses with blonde hair of the decade, January Jones has that "It" factor that has been working for so many blonde bombshells time and time again.

Charlize Theron - When it comes to the sexiest blonde actresses of Hollywood, golden girl Charlize Theron definitely tops the list, but she's also incredibly talented, too. She may be able to transform into a real 'Monster', but this man-eater always reminds us that she's a real glamour girl on the red carpet, with an otherworldly golden glow and a supermodel-esque flawless face. When it comes to the hottest women of Hollywood with a little gold man sitting on their shelf at home, it's hard to think of many Academy Award-winning actresses sexier than modern-day blonde bombshell Charlize.

Anna Paquin - There seem to be a lot of actresses portraying gals in love with vampires lately, but adorable blonde Anna Paquin's character Sookie manages to be in a relationship with a guy that craves what runs in her veins without all the tearful angst. Plus she's one of the sexiest women in love with a vampire you'll ever see on TV, as this vampy tramp doesn't mind tempting her man with a lot of bare skin perfect for biting into. Anna Paquin definitely has that bubbly blonde girl-next-door look, but she's also got this razor-thin edge that makes her one of the hottest blonde women of the decade.

Scarlett Johansson - Few actresses have the effect that this blonde beauty does on the red carpet by simply wearing a low-cut dress and donning a Marilyn Monroe-esque hairdo, but Scarlett was an instant sensation in a scarlet number that was making it very hard for anyone to look at her unique and flawless face. With a slightly raspy, deep voice and a curvy but cute little figure, this young actress has an enigmatic and magnetic air about her, making it easy to watch Scarlett in any movie she's in, whether she's posing for a painting; sharing a man with another woman; or allowing her butt in a pair of see-through underwear to fill up an entire movie screen. She's definitely one of the sexiest blonde actresses on this list, but it's a shame she keeps darkening her hair color and choosing less-artistic move roles (although I am looking forward to seeing her as the Black Widow, even if that means she won't be going back to her blonde bombshell look anytime soon).

Anna Faris - You might not immediately think of Anna Ferris when you think of the sexiest blonde actresses of the past decade, but I've got the biggest girl crush on this adorable ray of sunshine with a goofy voice and contagious smile. (At least she finally got to prove that she is one of the hottest women in Hollywood by getting girly in 'The House Bunny'). Plus I love actresses that can make me smile and laugh, and I really wish someone would give Anna Faris a movie role where she can really shine (no more Scary Movies!). But even if her movie roles are pretty terrible, she's still one of the sexiest and brightest blonde actresses of the decade.

Tricia Helfer - And now here's one of the sexiest blonde actresses of the decade for geeky guys to drool over. As Number Six in 'Battlestar Galactica', she convinced us all that she had to be a real cybernetic lifeform node, as its genetically impossible to be so stunning (now there's a geeky pickup line for ya). Sci-fi fans were probably once pretty smugly satisfied with this beautiful blonde bot being their little secret, but you can't keep hotness like Tricia Helfer's contained. Still, she's one of the hottest actresses that sci-fi guys have ever seen on their favorite shows, and I'm sure their blonde champion gets a lot of freaky fan mail.

Amanda Seyfried - Brunette Megan Fox is perfect and all, but when it comes to the sexiest blonde actresses of the decade, I think her more realistic looking 'Jennifer's Body' costar deserves a spot on this list. With a unique face and extremely light blue eyes, Amanda Seyfried has a dangerous and sexy look that's sure to make her a star. She's definitely starred in one of the sexiest movies of the decade, 'Chloe', where she takes part in an explicit love scene with much older actress Julianne Moore. She may be overshadowed by her costars for now, but I think someday many more moviegoers will agree that blonde beauty Amanda Seyfried is one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood.

Kaley Cuoco - Score another blonde babe for the geeks! This blonde slice of cheesecake that works at The Cheesecake Factory may not know much about quantum physics, but she's still every geek's dream girl: that perfect, unattainable, slightly materialistic and self-absorbed blonde chick that won't even give him the time of the day. Kaley Cuoco is one of my favorite of the sexiest actresses on this list because she still has that girl-next-door, not-completely-perfect look to her. When it comes to the sexiest actresses on this list that it seems would be the most fun to hang out with, I wouldn't mind sharing a slice of cheesecake with Kaley.

Kristen Bell - This blonde belle is the sleeper blonde hit of this list, with legions of male and female fans. From 'Fanboys' to 'Heroes' to 'Gossip Girls', she's got a pretty large fan base covered that other blonde actresses should envy. You've got to love a girl with the willpower to not eat meat, but guys will probably appreciate this vegetarian vixen more for starring in an upcoming movie called 'Burlesque'. Brunette or blonde, when it comes to the sexiest actresses in Hollywood that break the mold, Kristen Bell rings true as one-of-a-kind (and if that's not enough to convince you that she's one of the sexiest actresses of the decade, three words: "Leia's Metal Bikini").

Hayden Panettiere - Up-and-coming blonde actresses take note: all you have to do to make it big is look good in a cheerleading outfit (and have superpowers). It's almost hard to call Hayden one of the sexiest blonde actresses on this list because she's so darn cute, but this hottest of superhero vixens has beauty that is indestructible, so it's really hard for other blonde actresses out there to compete with that. Plus she's one of the sexiest actresses on this list to me because she cares about animals, and being passionate and caring about something means a lot more than looks that fade.

So from blonde gals that geeks love to polished modern day blonde bombshells, the amazing actresses on this list give a whole new meaning to "golden girls" (but we still love you, Betty White).
