Within minutes of Gillian Flynn being announced as this year’s winner, it had become the top trending topic on Twitter:

“She is unquestionably beautiful, she’s been smartly building her career on more than her looks,” wrote one fan.

“#Gillian Flynn being named THE Sexiest Woman Alive makes her boyfriend the luckiest Man Alive?” joked another one.
