10 Hottest The Vampire Diaries Characters, Ranked by Reddit

Finishing its epic eight-season run in 2017, The Vampire Diaries delivered a great story that's still remembered fondly by the fandom. In addition to fascinating stories and meta jokes, the supernatural teen series featured plenty of compelling characters, and some of them, let's face it, were strikingly hot.

Here are 10 hottest Vampire Diaries characters, based on the opinions of Reddit users.

10. Rebekah

Rebekah Mikaelson, played by Claire Holt, appeared in both The Vampire Diaries and its two spin-offs, The Originals and Legacies. Her presence was a great treat for many viewers who loved the attractive vampire girl.

9. Jeremy

Played by Steven R. McQueen, Elena's cousin Jeremy was a controversial character. Despite his bravery and sacrificing nature, Jeremy's curiosity often led him into the center of the town's supernatural drama, forcing many other characters, especially Bonnie, to save his hide.

Still, fans liked Jeremy for his physical strength and six-foot stature.

8. Kai

Many Redditors named Chris Wood's Malachai Parker as the hottest character in The Vampire Diaries. And we couldn't agree more, as this charming villain turned everyone's head — especially when bearded.

7. Enzo

It's impossible to forget Enzo's cheeky grin and his aura of mystery that vanished as soon as he was ready to stand up for his friends and save them from mortal danger. What could be hotter than that?

6. Stefan

Perhaps it's surprising that one of the series' protagonists isn't at the top of the list. Still, we must recognize that Paul Wesley's Stefan was really hot and has received a well-deserved amount of attention from fans.

5. Elijah

Like his siblings Rebekah and Klaus, Elijah Mikaelson was a recurring character in both the original series and the spin-offs. Daniel Gillies was able to show off his character's vampire rizz perfectly, and it's just impossible not to love him for that.

4. Katherine

Interestingly, it wasn't Elena who was mentioned most by fans but Katherine — the other character played by Nina Dobrev. But we get it, sometimes the villains are much hotter.

3. Bonnie

Kat Graham's Bonnie was a strong-willed witch who could fight off the monstrous entities all by herself. For many, this made her the hottest female character on the show.

2. Klaus

Likewise, it's not surprising that many fans mentioned Niklaus Mikaelson, portrayed by Joseph Morgan. He is one the franchise's central anti-heroes, and his wicked personality certainly adds to the appeal.

1. Damon

As you would expect, Damon Salvatore tops the list! Ian Somerhalder's character is empathic, charismatic, and has a great sense of humor and self-icony. No one deserves this spot more than him.
