Saucy chart star Christina Aguilera has been named top role model by teenage girls.
The Dirrty singer, who is known for her scanty outfits, was named the biggest inspiration by readers of teen magazine Sugar.
She pushed rival Britney Spears into fifth place while Beyonce Knowles was runner-up.
Readers praised Aguilera for being "strong minded" and "independent".
Aguilera, who often flaunts her sexuality and has a number of body piercings, beat last year's poll winner Pink.
Readers listed some of her qualities as being a "role model with breathtaking talent who isn't afraid to be who she is".
They said she was "open and truthful" and someone who "speaks about real-life issues and encourages girls to reach their targets in life".
Aguilera said of the accolade: "It's an honour, and being in the UK has been a highlight of my year."
Kylie Minogue, Avril Lavigne, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Holly Valance have dropped out of the top 10 since last year.
Lysanne Currie, editorial director of Sugar, said: "The fact that Christina Aguilera came out on top shows teenagers respect independent and strong-minded role models more than ever before."
Sugar's top 10 celebrity inspirations are:
1. Christina Aguilera
2. Beyonce Knowles
3. Pink
4. Delta Goodrem
5. Britney Spears
6. Jennifer Lopez
7. Victoria Beckham
8. Ms Dynamite
9. Kelly Osbourne
10. Geri Halliwell
