Femme Fatale is a reference to the stock character of a mysterious, beautiful, and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, deadly traps found mostly in art and literature. Adherents to the Femme Fatale aesthetic try their best to embody the traits of the classic femme fatale archetype, which leads to a lot of crossover with the Bad Bitch aesthetic, with one of the key differences between the two is the Femme Fatale has an air of mystery and elegance to her, whereas the Bad Bitches adhere to a more "what you see is what you get" philosophy.

Personality

As stated before the Femme Fatale aesthetic embodies the seductive and mysterious traits. A Femme Fatale will avoid giving information about themselves. Keep things like siblings, interests and what your studying is key. Femme Fatales are not the emotional type and tend to keep their emotions, well, mysterious. They normally don't have long relationships but if they do their significant other is a partner in crime. Their main goal is to entice and use.

Femme Fatales have to be smart. They have be quick witted, which will show their independence factor. Femme Fatales don't need a anyone to be able to thrive, they can do just fine on their own, if not better.

Fashion

If you want to be a true Femme Fatale, then you should wear dark, sexy, and retro clothes. Pick clothes that are well-cut and draw subtle attention to you in a tasteful way. Opt for darker colors such as black, maroon, or emerald green. Clothes that are flattering are important, too; know your body type and dress yourself based off what flatters your body type. Pair your look with high heels, but make sure you know how to walk in them to pull it off. Here are some clothes that you can try:

• Silk cocktail dresses
• A bold red dress
• Fitted blouses
• Leather pants
• Dark-wash, high waisted jeans
• Fishnet tights
• A fur coat

Wear a signature scent. Femme Fatales typically have a signature scent, so you need to find the one that suits you the best. It shouldn’t be anything too fruity or girly, and should give off a sexy and seductive scent instead.

Rock the red lipstick. To be a true Femme Fatale, you have to know how to wear red lipstick. Just apply the best lipstick that fits your skin tone, consider using some lip liner to emphasize your look, and check those lips every few hours to see if you need to reapply it. This is a signature part of the femme fatale’s look, so you should commit to it, even if you don’t want to wear too much other makeup.
