The femme fatale trend is nothing new, although it is all the rage on social media these days. “Femme fatale” comes from French and means “fatale woman”. This archetype is depicted as the seductive and dangerous woman who leads men to their demise. Think of the Sirens in Greek mythology or maneater Jennifer Check, played by Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body. This ultra-sexy persona is idolised for its irresistible allure.

The Dark Feminine Aesthetic
To embrace the femme fatale lifestyle, it’s easier if you achieve the iconic style first to help you get into character. When you think of a woman with a seductive and dangerous persona, what do you imagine? Glamor? Elegance?
So, where can you begin your transformation?
1. Hair: Think sleek, shiny, voluminous. Often femme fatales are depicted with dark hair to emphasise the sultry vibe, but this look can be achieved with any colour as long as the hair is healthy, soft to the touch, and styled effortlessly (even though we know it takes effort).
2. Makeup: They don’t call them siren eyes for nothing. So, grab your black eyeliner and dark eyeshadow palette. The darker the smoky eye the better. Consider some cat-eye false lashes to help create a dramatic effect. Femme fatales are notorious for captivating their victims with their smouldering gaze. Red lips are also a go-to here. You can also try wearing any vampy colour to get a full, seductive pout.
3. Nail Polish:Following the vampy colours- dark and classic shades of red, black and burgundy will create a lasting impression on anyone who beholds those claws.
4. Fragrance: Think of your fragrance as your introduction. Whatever room you walk into, you want your signature scent to follow. This is a guaranteed way of remaining unforgettable. Pick a spicey, musky, seductive scent to be bold and commanding.
5. Clothing:It’s all about sex appeal. Femme fatals wear curve-hugging clothingpreferably in black or other dark colours. So grab your little black dress and find some fishnet stockings or tights. Keep in mind that the dark feminine doesn’t require you to be bare (unless we’re talking sexy lingerie). It’s all about feminine silhouettes and upholding some mystery while suggesting that what is underneath is delicious.
6. Shoes:This was what black and red stilettos were made for.
7. Accessories:Whether leather or satin, wrist-length or elbow-length, gloves are an invaluable tool in your seduction arsenal. They are ultra-sexy and ultra-sophisticated. When it comes to sunglasses, go with oversized or cat eye. Preferably dark framed. A large black sunhat is also a favourite when strutting down the street.
The Irresistible Qualities of a Femme Fatale
Seductive. Confident. Powerful. These are just some of the characteristics of a femme fatale.
So, what are their secrets?
1.She is the prize: A femme fatale does not chase- she attracts. She does not beg for anyone’s attention. Instead, she focuses on herself and what makes her happy, on her goals. A femme fatale knows her worth.
2. She is not easily accessible: The more available you are, the more you accept every invitation that is extended to you- the more people will get bored of you. It’s just a sad truth that humans value what they see less of. So don’t say “yes” to everything, be choosy.
3. She is mysterious: You won’t catch a femme fatale oversharing. They carry out conversations with charm and great intellect, but they don’t divulge all their secrets. The less you reveal, the better. They are great listeners and add value to conversation when needed.
4. She is assertive: Fearlessly assertive. The dark feminine knows where to draw the line and set boundaries to maintain her self-respect. She can make decisions and is clear about what she will and will not tolerate.
5. She is a master of seduction: How to use your body, how to give a sly smile or deliver a smouldering gaze. Femme fatals have this perfected.
6. She remains composed: Remaining neutral and giving a neutral reaction demonstrates sophistication and creates an air of mystery. Being able to self-regulate your emotions shows that you are in control.
7. She speaks calmly: Focus on speaking slowly with a low voice. When we speak fast, we are signalling that we are nervous or hold a self-belief that we are wasting the listener’s time and so we rush through our monologue. Speaking slowly sends the opposite message. A person who speaks slowly conveys that they believe every word they speak holds value.
Above all, the most important quality of a femme fatale is that she loves herself.
Fatally yours,
