The 'world's hottest athlete' Alica Schmidt wowed fans as she attended the amfAR Gala Cannes while wearing a dazzling red dress.

Schmidt wore a two-piece dress to the event as she showed off her stunning figure. The German's toned abs were on full display while posing for snaps on the red carpet.

The amfAR Gala Cannes is an annual event that takes place each year at the Cannes Film Festival. The Gala is designed to help generate funds for amFAR’s lifesaving AIDS research.

Schmidt shared a snap on her Instagram, showing off her bright blue eyes against the dress. "She wants to kill us with her beauty," one fan responded, while a second added: "You look so beautiful!"

The stunning German was recently named on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. And speaking after being named on the list, she revealed she isn't the biggest fan of her nickname.

"This title doesn't mean anything to me. It's based on a subjective opinion of someone else judging the appearance of a person. I like to think that beauty comes from the inside."

However, she won't tone down her social media activity: "It's good for all of us athletes to be active on social media in order to get sponsors.

"It's not easy, especially in Germany to live from athletics. So a lot of athletes have to do another job to live from that and do the training. And yeah that's a great thing to do a social media on the side so you can get some more sponsors.

"It's a big hobby of mine and I love to do that. But the main focus is sports."
