With the world of celebrity being littered with women exploiting their fortune, stumbling out of nightclubs night after night with a deeper focus on vodka than whatever it was that catapulted them into them into the public eye to start with. Magazines and tabloids indulge this brand of celebrity enough and so it's time to shine the spotlight elsewhere and take a look at the women know how to have good time while keeping the focus on their career too.

Inspiring us with their success and ambition as well as entertaining us with their talent - this series takes a look at some of the hottest women across movies, music & television. These are the women who are doing fame & fortune the right way and making their audience say 'WOW' & 'Pwoarr!' for the right reasons. They are great at what they do & look fabulous doing it; they set the standards and dazzle us all.

Kicking off the series, the spotlight is on quirky electronica star, Peaches, as well as three iconic rock chicks: Karen O, Sarah McLeod and Hayley Williams.


Karen O - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Karen's rather interesting ethnicity may have something to do with her utterly fabulous good looks - born of a Polish father and Korean mother. Fronting up New York based alternate rock act the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O rocks eccentric style with a slick of red lipstick and brings the stage alive with a dash of outrageousness. Karen's on stage outfits are often regarded as over the top but bold is absolutely the new black and Karen has friend and fashion designer Christian Joy to thank for these brilliant pieces that keep her looking great on stage.

Sarah McLeod
Iconic rock chick are three words to best sum up Sarah McLeod who came fame heading up Aussie rock act the Superjesus. Proving she's still got what it takes, now performing as a solo artist, McLeod continues to enthrall audiences with raw acoustic tunes as well as high energy rock numbers. She oozes sexy rock chick in all she does - check out her solo stuff including He Doesn't Love You (video) and as well as Gravity, from her time with the Superjesus (video). (image credit)
