Ranked: The Women of Lost from Least to Most Sexy
Every single character, ranked by sexiness.
By The Nerve Editors
Since day one, we’ve debated the motivations of the dozens of characters on Lost. And — especially when it comes to the almost frighteningly attractive women — we’ve also spent hours arguing over who’s the most attractive. So, before the show takes its final bow, we've decided to rank all the significant characters from unappealing to irresistible. (And check out yesterday's list for the men's rankings.)
25. Eloise Hawking
Unless you have some kind of fetish for condescending schoolmarm types, there's not much sexy about Auntie Exposition. (And she's not going to win any Mother of the Year awards, either.)
24. Mother
She's as sexy as she is the biological mother of Jacob and the Man-in-Black — which is to say, not at all. Sometimes benevolent, sometimes shockingly violent, this guardian of the island intimidates us (and some might say bores us) more than turns us on.
23. Rose Nadler
Her and Bernard's love is so real that we'd feel a little weird talking about Rose's sexuality. And while we know she likes long walks on the beach, that strikes us as just a bit too "eHarmony commercial."
22. Danielle Rousseau
Young Rousseau would make us wish we could remember more of our high-school French, but spending sixteen years in the elements (and going more than a little crazy) doesn't do anyone any favors. (And while her daughter, Alex, was definitely a looker, she was also only fifteen. Apply for the list again in three years, miss.)
21. Zoe
Zoe almost has a Tina Fey vibe going, and normally, we'd be all about that. The only problem? She never left much of an impression on us, and she perpetually looks like she's been through a windstorm.
20. Harper Stanhope
Unfortunately for Harper, the first thing we remember about her is that her husband had an affair with Juliet. And while we don't hold that against her, it's clear she didn't leave much of an impression.
19. Cassidy Philips
Hypothetically, a female version of Sawyer would be super hot. In reality, however, Cassidy Philips lacked her ex-husband's street smarts. A failed con artist is nobody's idea of a good time.
18. Beatrice Klugh
We like strong, dominant women, but the intensity of "Ms. Clue" was downright scary. Even her mind-blowing home entertainment center back in her "room" couldn't garner her a higher spot.
17. Cindy Chandler
Flight attendants rank just below French maids and just above candy stripers in the "sexy job" hall of fame, but Cindy adopted a more motherly role when she got to the island, and while we admired her for it, it didn't exactly scream sex appeal.
16. Achara
Yes, she appeared mostly naked. And yes, she's obviously a sexy woman. But poor Achara may have appeared in what is often considered the worst Lost episode ever, and we'd just the same forget about her.
15. Amy Goodspeed
Pro: she's one of the Island's first MILFs. Con: her son was the insanely creepy Ethan Rom, and she voted for the death of our beloved Sayid.
14. Ilana Verdansky
It never quite all came together for Ilana (although it did, quite literally, all come apart in the end). While she made a sexier lawyer in the Sideways universe than she did a bodyguard on the island, the latter is how we'll always think of her.
13. Charlotte Staples Lewis
You know those Survivor chicks who look hotter all grubby than they do in makeup at the reunion show? Charlotte is the opposite. Don't get us wrong — she worked the time-traveler's nosebleed as best she could, but when she showed up as Sawyer's glammed-out blind date in the Sideways world, we realized what Faraday had seen in her all along.

juliet over kate, claire and shannon? riiiiight.
juliet? NOOOO she was awful and washed out and stole sawyer from kate. claire or kate should be hottest.
Kate is an easy #1. Don't forget the younger Eloise Hawking! Spunky and bossy...very hot.
Juliet number one! Hell yeah!!!
Juliet is the best! <3 I love her!
Oh yeah, Juliet as number one. What can she NOT do?
I'm good with Juliet as #1, but Penny should have ranked higher. Kate's "what-about-me" hounding of Sawyer after Juliet's death should have dropped her quite a few places.
Goodwin (Harper's husband) had an affair with Juliet, not Kate.
And Juliet #1! YAY! <3
this sucks. there the F is alex?
Seconded. She was old enough to be having sex on the show, she should be considered.
Juliet over Kate (the easy #1)? Sarah Shepherd over Penny and Ana Lucia? Libby over Charlotte? This is the worst list ever.
yeah. where is alex? #1
Kate is too damned annoying to even make it on to that list in my opinion. Juliet was hot but not number one hot. My vote's for Sun.
What? No Katy Sagal as Locke's wife?
No way is Juliet hotter than Sun. Sun leaves her in the dust.
Despite being annoying much of the time, there's something undeniably sexy about Shannon
@ben, The reason we didn't include Alex is because her character is only 15. Yes, she's 22 in real life, but on the show, she's a minor. In a few years, though, she'll be in the top 10.
Agreed. Juliet, all the way!
Penny cracks my top 5. Kate barely stays in the Top 5 for all her annoying antics. But this list got it right that Juliet is the clear No. 1.
hate the captions
This is the single most inaccurate list I've ever seen in my life!
Alex should have been on the list. If she's old enough to date Jeff Goldblum, she's old enough to be on the list.
juliet would be hotter if elizabeth mitchell didn't look so fakey from all her plastic surgery. i'd vote shannon, sun, and naomi for top 3.
Claire! is the easy 1, Alex, Naomi, Penny, Shannon, Sun. come on, they all are hotter than Juliet and Kate
what!?! kate's not #1??? boo hiss
AYE! INO! KATE IS SEXXII MAHN! NO1 all the waaaaaay!
JULIET NUMBER 1 ALWAAAAAAAAAAAYS!
she got everything!
Juliet in first? Please. Half of Mitchell's face is plastic surgery. Just Google her high school portrait to see what I mean. Kate should be first with Sun, Claire, and Charlotte coming after.
I should mention I think Mitchell is a great actress, and, from what I hear about her, a wonderful person. I just think there are sexier women on this show.
Where in the world is Alex Rosseau? She's easily in the top five and she's not even on this list? Did we just forget about her completely?
older eloise last? that surprises me! I think she's gorgeous!
Hell no, Kate is easily sexier than Juliet. And Sarah Shephard isn't bad, but no way is she hotter than Ana-Lucia, Naomi, and Shannon!
Claire not being #1 is a joke.
Sun is the sexiest, for sure. Shannon also belongs higher. Kate's not even in the top 10. This is ridiculous!
Wow, Shannon is way way too low. My order would be:
1. Shannon
2. Kate
3. Claire
4. Naomi
5. Juliet
#1 Sun
#2 Kate
#3 Ana Lucia
#4 Naomi
#5 Claire
JULIET ROCKS!!!! <3
Kate is #2. So yes, she made the top 10.
Kate shouldn't be on the list.
Juliet at #1 - just as it should be!
doesnt anyone remember Regina? played by ZOE BELL!????? she jumped off the ship!
Where's Alex Rousseau??? She's very pretty.
Kate should be #1 and Charlotte a little higher.
Juliet FTW
Alex may have been introduced as 15, but in the counter-actual universe she is a senior in high school, so the argument could be made that she could be 18.
Oh Good lord, Elizabeth Mitchell can NOT act to save her life, and she is a washed out cliche blonde who needs to lose a few pounds. She was the worst thing on the show and Sawyer's dumpster diving hook up with her almost ruined that great male character.
Charlotte not even in the top 10? Really? Maybe I just have a thing for redheads...
Kate should be #1
YAAAY for Juliet as #1. I'd have Charlotte and Shannon higher and Sarah lower. Of course, I also hate the character of Sarah the way some people hate Kate...
Kate has a boy body
id say claire(with the old dark hair), penny, naomi,ana , and libby for 1-5
Alex = easy number 1. NEW LIST! NAO!
agree about hating the captions. The majority seem quite mean spirited.
Don't forget that Juliet also nailed Angelina Jolie back in the 90's ;)
Sun Kwon at No.3? Sorry, this ranking is whack. Sun Kwon is THE hottest babe on that island. #2 = Kate. #3 = Ana Lucia. #4 = Shannon. #5 = Claire. #6 = Juliet.
Good list, but you missed two: Walt's mom/Michael's ex, Susan, and Zoe Bell's chain-loving Regina from the freighter.
Eloise is #25, are you people nuts! Does no one remember what she look like when she was younger? http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Eloise_Hawking
kate isn't number 1, this is a freakin travesty.
Elizabeth Mitchell has had so much plastic surgery, her face looks like a Barbie Doll's torso. Her acting by sucking her cheeks in, pursing her lips before she speaks and cocking her eyebrows no matter what emotion the scene calls for annoys me.
Claire is not sexy. Her nasal whine is enough to make any man lose an erection.
this must have been written by an old person. this list is all wrong.
This is very ignorant and demeaning to these actors. Shame on you. You disgust me. Oh yes, I looked at the men first and said the same thing there. What a terrible web site you are.
I was surprised that you got #1 correct. I'd love to breed that lady.
i have to say, this is bulls**t. juliet over kate?!?! NO WAY! kate is an easy #1 and juliet should be #10 at best
Kate does not have a body. She looks pre-pubescent. She's got a wonderful face and is quite fit though. She's a less-attractive, less-curvy version of Charlotte.
1. Sun 2. Charlotte 3. Juliet
Cassidy's rated way too low, btw. That's the Kim Dickens fan in me speaking, though. The picture does her no favors - you couldn't find a mug shot of her?
I can't really get down with Kate or Juliet. Kate has this Megan Fox fabricated hot girl look to her, like she's so pretty it's boring. And I can't look at Juliet without seeing 'of course I'm really Carrie Ann Moss!'. I would be all over Sun, Nadia, and Penny. In that order. Either way I would have to fight somebody who would definitely kill me.
They must have made this before Kate in that little black dress!
creator of this list is a woman? thats the only way to explain any of the choices.
considering #21 Zoe is hotter than 1,4,8,10.. etc.
Chicks are for fags
For real, Sun at #3? And others clamoring for her to be higher? For anyone that doesn't have a thing for Asian chicks she is way, way, down the list, Kate, Juliet, could go either way.
Yeah Juliet is No. 1
Agree with this list more than I do with the guys
Kate is #1. No contest.
I doubt that the people who compiled this list are actually attentive fans of the show? What about Bonnie and Greta? Not only were they exponentially hotter than Eloise (joke aside) but they lived in the sexiest situation possible - two good looking young women living isolated in an undersea station!
woohoo, Juliet will always be #1! sexiest woman alive
I agree with Lomasterr
Terrible sorting. I disagree on almost every relative placement, as I think most guys would.
Hello! fafadde interesting fafadde site!
They are all sexy!!! But I don't know about Ilana Verdansky being so low. I wrote about that on my blog!!! Check it out :)

What about Alex Rousseau? Tania Raymonde is pretty foxy.
This list is perfect. While Kate is very sexy, Juliet, in my opinion, is in a league of her own.
Juliet #1 definitely
Ilana Verdansky (played by Zuleikha Robinson) is only 14th...she's definately hotter than that...and where's Alex?...Sh'es one of the hottest girls on or off of Lost...even though her blue contact lenses are never quite straight and makes her look weird...she's still hot though,
how is rose not in the top 5? I mean this list is absurd.
1)rose
2)danielle rosseau
3)hurley
4)kate
5)achara
#1 Alex Rousseau
#2 Charlotte
#3 Kate
#4 Juliet
#5 Claire
There you have it. The only right order. imho.
claire. #1.
I think Naiomi should be 3 at least
Now you say something
