If one body part stole the spotlight in 2025 movies, it was definitely the butt. Whether framed in artful slow-motion, highlighted in steamy love scenes, or just casually outshining the rest of the screen, these actresses showed off standout rear views that had audiences doing double takes and maybe rewinding a few times. But we're not just talking thirst traps. These peachy performances came with powerful acting chops, legitimate screen presence, and a whole lot of cinematic impact. If you're searching for the best butts in movies this year, you're in the right place.
Spanish actress Ivana Baquero took on one of the year’s darkest true-crime roles in Netflix’s A Widow’s Game (La viuda negra). Based on the real-life "Crime of Patraix," Baquero stars as Maje, a woman who orchestrates her husband’s murder through manipulation, seduction, and premeditated psychological control. Baquero delivers a complex portrayal of a woman weaponizing her femininity (including her body). While her curves are never the focus, her quiet confidence and controlled sensuality earn her a place on this list, not for what’s shown, but for how much is suggested.
In the lush Outlander prequel Blood of My Blood, Hermione Corfield plays Julia Moriston, Claire Fraser’s mother, in a wartime romance set during World War I. While some fans were expecting 18th-century kilts and corset-stripping drama, this installment is more about grounded historical tension than bodice-ripping passion. Still, Corfield brings major poise and quiet magnetism to the role. Through period-accurate costumes and thoughtful camerawork, her figure is presented with subtle reverence. No overt “butt shots” here, but Corfield’s statuesque presence and graceful posture still had viewers swooning. It’s the elegance, not the exposure, that lands her on the best butts radar this year.
Ashley Moore made waves this year starring opposite Julia Fox in the climate-crisis romance Perfect. Set at a lakeside resort where the water’s been contaminated, the film explores queer love, loss, and what it means to feel whole in a future-struck world. There’s no sci-fi augmentation or voyeuristic cyber-aesthetic here, just dreamy, sun-drenched scenes, and very human intimacy. She's sexy without trying, which somehow makes it all even hotter. Bonus: dreamy swimsuits and high-waisted vintage shorts highlight an enviable backside.
Alicia Vikander plays the icy government official Virginia in The Assessment. In this psychological drama, her character moves in with a couple (played by Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel) to determine if they’re fit to be parents. It's bleak, unsettling, and totally gripping. Despite playing the role of the emotional outsider, Vikander’s physical presence doesn’t go unnoticed. Dressed in stark, sterile tailoring, her subtle posture, long lines, and signature grace turn clinical detachment into its own kind of allure.
Zoë Kravitz brought her signature cool to Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing, a violent, black-comedy crime thriller based on the novel by Charlie Huston. She plays Yvonne, the girlfriend of protagonist Hank (Austin Butler), in a film better known for shootouts and spiraling chaos than for sexy set pieces. Still, it’s Zoë. Even when she’s not baring much, her slow-walks, side-eyes, and tank top moments give off big heat energy. There’s no overly lit, booty-flaunting scene here, but Kravitz’s natural curves and low-key dominance keep her on this list, easily.
The race for best butts in movies feels nearly closed with absolute fire performances across multiple genres. From sci-fi sirens to scandalous period pieces, these actresses proved that a great ass can be part of serious art, strong performances, or just damn good cinematography. Whether it’s Alicia Vikander’s minimalist sensuality or Zoë Kravitz’s unbothered boldness, we’ll be thinking about these now-iconic back views long after the credits roll.
