No woman on this — or any other list of the hottest women of 2013 — is any hotter than Kerry Washington is right now. The absolutely gorgeous Washington plays lead character Olivia Pope on the red-hot ABC drama 'Scandal.' While the show's soapy story arcs help it generation bucket-loads of tweets, Washington's hotness gives everyone a reason to watch.

No novice to Hollywood, Washington previously starred in 'Ray' and 'Django Unchained.' In addition to staying busy with 'Scandal' in 2013, Washington could also begin to capitalize on the show's popularity by courting more movie roles.
