Katie Holmes was named one of GQ’s sexiest women of the 21st century, due in large part to her somewhat random topless scene in the 2000 film The Gift.

The magazine pays homage to the film and Holmes’ half-nude role, awarding her the honor of Hottest Scene: Can’t Believe This Happened category.

“She has the same Joey Potter tics: head tilts, shoulder shrugs up, lips chew down into a lopsided grin,” writer Mark Lotto says, referencing Dawson’s Creek.

“But then she [reveals] her un-Joey-Potter-like breasts – exquisitely breast-like breasts, the breasts you would think of if someone said the word ‘breasts.'”

Lotto jokes that Tom Cruise watches it when he feels nostalgic.

“And every time topless Katie taunts [Greg Kinnear] with a ‘F-ck you,’ Tom feels as if she’s talking to him, and he thinks some terribly Greg Kinnearish things.”
