Every year, People magazine announces the Sexiest Man Alive, and this year’s reveal is set for November 12. To make the wait more exciting, People has launched a major poll so readers can weigh in and vote for their favorites. With over 350,000 votes, it’s clear that competition was tight!
Readers picked their favorites in fun categories like ‘Tattooed Hottie,’ ‘First-Time Dad,’ ‘Athlete Ally,’ and ’90s Heartthrob.’ Joe Jonas snagged the title of ‘Sexiest Brat’—and if you’re wondering what that means, think of Charli XCX’s style. According to People, “The exact definition of ‘Brat’ was hard to pin down, but Joe’s bold social media presence, cheeky attitude, and his take on Charli XCX’s dance moves earned him the top spot, beating out Barry Keoghan, Troye Sivan, and Kyle MacLachlan.”
As for the ‘Sexiest Musician’ title, that went to Harry Styles, who’s won it before. This year, though, he had some serious competition from American singer Role Model, who put up a strong campaign on TikTok to rally fans.
“You had the chance to truly impact culture and create a powerful ending to an underdog story. And you didn’t,” he posted on social media, reflecting his disappointment that his plea went unanswered. Harry also faced tough competition, going up against popular stars like Zach Bryan and Shaboozey.
