Beauty is more than skin deep, as proven by the women on this list of country music's hottest females.

You'll find familiar names like Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood as well as relative newcomers like Lindsay Ell and Taste of Country RISERS artist Aubrie Sellers. The criteria was not so simple: we looked for 10 females with white hot careers and constant class in front of a camera. Rock-hard bodies are not a prerequisite. Talent and style are.

One name from the '90s returns to this annual list of country music's hottest women, while another emerged from the shadows of her bandmates. Fiery guitarists, searing vocalists and playful wordsmiths make this list of the most beautiful women in country music unique. Enjoy photos of each lady, and learn a little bit more about what to expect from country's leading females in 2017.
