So far these answers are all too simplistic and make us look like knee jerk dopes.... the sexiiest thing about a good model is her ability to connect. When the energy is good a model feels what is being asked for or sought by that photographer... maybe he's told her... but I think it's more about feel. When the connection happens it's felt physically and intellectually... the model hears the photographer react, feels and hears his pace and focus change, feels herself repsond with more of whatever that thing is that's working in the camera. Every good model I've worked with brought alot to start but then blossomed when she felt that connection, and then fed it willingly because she needs to to be amazing, beautiful, and good at her craft. That hunger is what makes a model sexy.... in the Biz they cal that, "IT".

Sorry I don't see models like that.  They are shapes and tones...but I guess that is just my opinion.

Facial expression, attitude, and pose (what you see and more importantly, what you don't see).  A fully clothed model can still look very sexy...
Thanks,

Whats the sexiest thing about a model?  I'm sure it's different for everyone, but, for me, it's more of a "time" thing than a "what" thing.  She's sexiest at that point in time when she kicks her panties across the floor of the studio.

why are we mixing apples and oranges, inner qualities vs. physical qualities, as if one is superior to the other. The best attitude in the world will not save a model who is physically unnattractive, and the hottest babe or dude may not get much booking if they're an asshole to be around.

Here's a brilliant idea:

Two Catagories:

Sexiest Inner Quality and Sexiest Outer Quality

give me a gold star on my forehead and an extra graham cracker for snacks

IMHO

Sexiest Inner Quality, can I make her laugh, bring out her joy, her exuberance at being at the shoot, even if we're shooting something sad I want her to be happy inside

Sexiest Outer Quality: LEGS, and eyes, but definetly LEGS

Beauty and sexy goes hand in hand for me. But not all beautiful people are sexy and vice versa.
I can't even pinpoint it. I know it when I see it smile

I would have to agree with this one.... since there is an inner and outer beauty in us... and both should shine in your images.
But I will have to add the sexiest outer quality for the male models out there...  say eyes and chest/stomach (who looks at a guys legs?) wink

eyes. if the eyes don't connect, the picture is basically worthless. unless they're closed or looking away or something.

I was thinkin the sexiest thing for a model is the unibrow. I mean that is more rare than a fat redhead in eithiopia.

But really, the uniqueness counts on the sexy scale for me personally. and eyebrows frame the face and either detract or add to the other features.

Haha!!A unibrow...Now that's hot smile

I would have to say their personality.  Their essence.  Whats going on with them?  Are they happy, sad, depressed, etc.?  Are they playing around and actually having fun?  Like when I'm just dancing around my house singing to music and having fun, if I look at myself in the mirror, I think 'If someone was here to capture this, it would be amazing.'  When I'm dancing around in my bathroom is when I really do feel pretty and think that maybe I could model.  Or like when I have been really depressed and I look in the mirror I can see it exactly in the expression I have and in my eyes.  If you are having a shoot with a pillow fight or something,  you have to make sure the model is having REAL fun, yes its a job, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun.  If the photographer and the model can joke around and feel comfortable with each other you can create the BEST pictures. Try it, it will work.

For the damsel-in-distress photos I do, the eyes are the most important part of the photograph (with body language a close second).
