According to an international poll released on Tuesday by the website AskMen, Jennifer Lawrence is world's most desirable woman.

The Hunger Games star rose to the top of the list from No. 47 last year on the heels of the box-office smash while buffing her credibility as a quirky, sex-mad young widow in the independent film Silver Linings Playbook, AskMen editor-in-chief James Bassil said.

"Overall, there's a sense that she's a little more authentic than other actors," Bassil said, adding that the public still knows too little about the 22-yearold actress to form a negative opinion.

Lawrence bumped last year's winner, Sofia Vergara of Modern Family, down to No. 12, while reality star Kim Kardashian plummeted to No. 98.

Rounding out the top five were actress Mila Kunis, model Kate Upton, R&B star Rihanna and Crazy, Stupid, Love actress Emma Stone.
