RiRi, Minaj down the list of most desirable women - PHOTOS
Sofia Vergara has been voted the "Most Desirable Woman in the World". PLUS A South African - model Candice Swanepoel - makes the Top 10 list
The 'Modern Family' star – who will be 40 in July – is the oldest person to win the title in AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women in the World list after beating off competition from the likes of Rihanna and Kim Kardashian.
The brunette beauty said in a statement: "I am so honored to be AskMen's most desired woman this year. A big thank you to all the men who desire me."
More than one million votes were cast in the survey, which featured 11 of the honourees aged at least 35 or older, with 49-year-old Demi Moore the eldest in the list.
James Bassil, editor-in-chief of the website, said: “I think it has a lot to do with the broadening profile of internet users, who are varying more and more in both age and background.
"I also think a lot of guys are surprised to hear Sofia's [almost] 40, because she doesn’t look it."
American model-and-actress Kate Upton was voted runner-up, while 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' actress Rooney Mara was in third, followed by Miranda Kerr and Nicki Minaj respectively.
Other stars to make up the list included singers Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce, as well as actresses Zooey Deschanel and flame-haired beauty Emma Stone.

THIS & THAT ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA'S CANDICE:
* Born in Mooi River, where she grew up on a dairy and beef farm.
* Was spotted by a talent scout in a flea market at age 15.
* From age 16, was booked for modelling jobs abroad and now lives in New York City
"After starting my career from literally nothing, I will always be thankful to the people who gave me a chance. I credit the success I’ve been blessed with to everyone who saw something special in me and helped me along the way.
"Most days I still wake up feeling like the 15-year-old girl from a South African farm town, simply overwhelmed with gratitude for the journey I am on.
"I could not have become the person I am without the values instilled in me by my loyal and ever-loving parents."
