It turns out, being sexy doesn’t have an age limit. Coming just a week after People named actress Sandra Bullock the World’s Most Beautiful Woman, FHM Magazine has announced their Sexiest Woman in the World: 27-year-old British actress Michelle Keegan. But the biggest surprise on this year’s list is the woman at #74: 80-year-old grandmother and foodie Mary Berry.

The Great British Bake Off star, has beat out younger beauties such as Jennifer Lopez, Hannah Davis, and Cara Delevigne on the list. “Every year there is at least one shock, but this is probably one of the biggest we’ve ever had,” an FHM source told The Sun. Berry has published more than 70 cookbooks and is known as being a star in the food world with her own show on BBC—now she has another accolade to add to her bio.
The ranking is determined by online voting, and according to FHM editor Joe Barnes, this year there were over a million votes. Of the top five women on this years list (Michelle Keegan, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, and Caroline Flack) are all 35 years old or younger, with two of the women in the top five being models—which probably comes as no real shock given the nature of the contest.
With 50-year-old Bullock making waves as the oldest woman to take home the title of People’s Most Beautiful Woman—an honor that is determined by the staff at the magazine, it shows that the tide is turning as to what we consider beautiful and sexy and the definitions of what’s attractive are expanding. “The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying,” Bullock told the magazine. Bullock may not be that surprising of a choice for People, but seeing Berry make the FHM list is awesome.
