Minka Kelly named 'Sexiest Woman Alive' - pics of all the Yankee WAGs

Following in the footsteps of beauties ranging from former Jeter flame Jessica Biel to Halle Berry, Kelly appears in a sexy spread for the mag's November issue and dishes on her upbringing.

She recounts growing up with an exotic dancer for a mom and later working in a surgeon's office to save money for breast implants. Though she eventually decided to stay au natural, Kelly did stay in the field of medicine, working as a surgical assistant until striking gold at 26 with a role on the critically-acclaimed 'Friday Night Lights.'

Now 30, the actress is positively thrilled to be entering a new stage in her life. 'I'm so excited to be a woman. Done with the twenties,' she tells the mag. 'I'm confident — confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff. It just feels nice to be at peace with yourself.'
