->''"Why are all the gorgeous ones homicidal maniacs?"''
-->-- '''Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}}''' describing [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]], ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''

''Other factors being equal, evil characters are sexier.''

Evil does strange things to people. It can be [[EvilFeelsGood pleasurable]], [[EvilTastesGood delicious]], or [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide addictive]], it can make you more [[EvilIsCool badass]], and it even makes you more sexy.

Even though BeautyEqualsGoodness, some villains are just gorgeous. They ooze sex appeal and carnality in a way that [[RuleOfSymbolism represents]] the sin of [[SevenDeadlySins Lust]] as well as the [[TheDarkSide lust for power]] that [[DealWithTheDevil evil promises to its prospective followers]]. They tend to have [[DepravedBisexual looser sexual morals]]. They are [[TallDarkAndSnarky as handsome]] as they are arrogant (much to the heroes' annoyance). They [[GlamourFailure hide their demonic soul]] behind [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon the face of an angel]]. And they're not afraid to use their beauty, wiles, and sex appeal to [[MoreThanMindControl seduce the hero]] and carry out their [[SexIsEvil nefarious plans]]. Their [[EvilMakeover outfits]] tend to [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains show more skin]] and have more leather, fetishist hangups, lace, on occasion, or even gorgeous and functional FemmeFatalons. Hey, what's the point of being evil if you can't do it with class? Or failing that, overdo it with style?

A hero [[FaceHeelTurn temporarily tempted by evil]] tends to [[EvilCostumeSwitch suddenly wear skimpier clothes]] and be more sexually assertive. [[DracoInLeatherPants Many fans will find them sexier this way]] and perhaps dread the return to [[ChasteHero prudery]] that will accompany their [[StatusQuoIsGod inevitable return to goodness]]. If the {{Love Interest|s}} is the initial MsFanservice, then TheBaroness or TheVamp has to take it to the next level, sometimes immediately.

Often used as a storytelling device; what better way to show how seductive evil is than by making evil [[{{Metaphorgotten}} literally seductive]]. When paired with BeautyEqualsGoodness, this is reconciled by [[MadonnaWhoreComplex making the good characters' beauty more genuine and the evil characters' appearance more focused on inspiring lust, separating "pure" beauty from sex appeal]]. Thus, the hot chick likely was EvilAllAlong, or has made a FaceHeelTurn; the constant heroine, although beautiful, is not sexy because she exudes IncorruptiblePurePureness even if she's going to end up a wife and mother.

An opportunity for {{Fanservice}} of all kinds. Also sets the stage for UnfortunateImplications, frequently invoking various {{Double Standard}}s attached to the sexuality (and the "goodness" of that sexuality) of a character depending on their gender. This is mostly applied to female villains, although [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon attractive male villains]] are becoming more common, especially in series geared toward a female audience. This character's almost guaranteed to garner loads of entirely [[DracoInLeatherPants undeserved sympathy]] from fans, but is so ingrained in certain cultures that it's not going away any time soon. In American film specifically this is probably related to the period [[UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode way back when]] when ''only'' evil was allowed to be sexy -- since SexSells regardless. A bare midriff is more or less essential, especially for females.

See also EvilTastesGood, EvilIsCool, and EvilIsEasy. Compare with BeautyEqualsGoodness. Contrast EvilMakesYouUgly and HeroicSeductress. Often a consequence of PowerIsSexy, since {{Mooks}} aren't that attractive. Part of the appeal of ForbiddenFruit. Both a cause of and a result of JerkassDissonance.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Arts]]
* ''Art/TheFallenAngel'': Several reviews of this painting agree that Cabanel painted Lucifer as a beautiful, [[Myth/ClassicalMythology classical]] TragicHero. This is only highlighted by the fact the angels in the background are drawn with less detail, so they can hardly be considered attractive.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'':
** [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]]'s an insane, plant-obsessed eco-terrorist whose only human friend is Harley Quinn, [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]]'s on-again, off-again love interest and partner-in-crime. Her interests include eliminating humanity to make the world safe for plants and [[KissOfDeath poisoning people by kissing them]]. She was modeled on Creator/BettiePage, generally appears clad only in something skintight and [[GardenGarment a lot of leaves]], and is even tempting enough for Batman.
** Characters/{{Catwoman|SelinaKyle}} is a {{Dominatrix}} coded ClassyCatBurglar who wears a skintight SpyCatsuit and even wields a WhipOfDominance as her weapon for the domineering appeal. She also acts like TheTease to anyone she interacts with, often [[FemmeFatale taking advantage of her sexual prowess to manipulate others]]. Like Ivy, she too proves attractive for the Dark Knight, sufficiently so that someone seeking to break Batman hired an actress to dress up as Catwoman and seduce him. She became so popular she was rendered as a more sympathetic character over the years, being often an AntiVillain or even an AntiHero.
** Characters/{{Harley Quinn|TheCharacter}}: Former Arkham Asylum psychiatrist who falls head over heels for [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] and reinvents herself as a catsuit clad, female version of him. Happy to murder henchmen at the drop of a hat and always drawn in a painted-on harlequin jester's outfit that frequently got 'upgraded' to a latex version, and later got replaced with a skimpy [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]] and microshorts.
** White Rabbit's costume is basically lingerie.
** DependingOnTheArtist, [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] can be a lean, well-dressed MonsterClown with the bleached skin being handsome instead of [[BodyHorror nightmarish.]]
** Like the Joker above, several artists seem to enjoy drawing [[Characters/BatmanTheRiddler The Riddler]] as rather attractive, usually accentuating this by putting him in [[ManOfWealthAndTaste very flattering, well-cut green suits.]]
** Though Characters/{{Ba|tmanBane}}ne is a prison-raised force of nature who has crippled Batman at least once, his [[HeroicBuild enhanced musculature]], [[WalkingShirtlessScene torso-baring outfits]], and [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench Hispanic accent ]] has resulted in plenty of fans gushing over him.
%%* ComicBook/BlackWidow certainly qualifies pre-HeelFaceTurn.

* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': Magica De Spell was created by Carl Barks specifically to counteract the "ugly witch" stereotype. Among the people/characters that inspired her design were Morticia Adams and Sophia Loren.

* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' has Winnowill, who is ''incredibly'' hot and just gets more and more deadly. Also the warlord Grohmul Djun, who's a massive hunk, and Door in the "Forevergreen" arc, who's a psychotic pretty boy.
* From ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'', Vanity (the devil half of the ConjoinedTwins superhero Divangelic) is definitely sexier (dressed) than her sister Charity, an angel.

* ''ComicBook/{{Femforce}}'': Evil sorceress [[https://benjaminherman.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/femforce-188-pg-1.jpg?w=840 Alizarin Crimson]] is as much known for how little clothing she wears as she is for her alliances with various dark gods and demons.

%%* From ''ComicBook/Gen13'', we have the stunning Ivana Baiul.

* Darth Talon from the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' comic series ''ComicBook/{{Legacy}}''. A heavily tattooed [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe female Twi'lek]] Sith who has a serious FoeRomanceSubtext with AntiHero Cade Skywalker.
* In ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', ShrinkingViolet falls under the power of the Emerald Eye, and, well... [[http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=92735&zoom=4 this...]] happens. (Her breasts appear to get larger, but that might just be the effect of that push-up bra.)

* [[spoiler:Nightmare Rarity]] from ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'', as nicely detailed [[https://derpibooru.org/284489 here]] (major spoilers, of course).
** High Heel, a mare shoe thief from ''Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWAnnual2014'' staring the Power Ponies.

* Ava Lord, stereotypical [[TheVamp vamp]]/FemmeFatale from ''ComicBook/SinCity'' story "A Dame to Kill For" is most sexy when posing next to her dead husband whose death she caused, all the while faking stories of the guilty of her crimes on the phone and smiling all the way.
** Blue Eyes and Mariah, the Colonel's assassins. Blue Eyes' specialty is OutWithABang, even.
* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' has Dr. Finitevus. Female examples include Breezie the Hedgehog, Regina Ferrum a.k.a. The Iron Queen and [[FoxyVixen Fiona Fox]], after her FaceHeelTurn.
* AntiVillain [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] is the incarnation of temptation for virtuous [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Susan Richards]]. Speaking of Sue Richards, when she was possessed by Malice, an evil mutant, she clearly fits this trope, and how! The aspect of her personality remained with her and popped back up again years later, resulting in her DarkerAndEdgier outlook when she became more of an ActionGirl.
* ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004'': After being brainwashed by [[Characters/NewGodsDarkseid Darkseid]], Characters/{{Supergirl|TheCharacter}} replaces her modest outfit with black, tight leather clothes which show her figure off.

* ''New ComicBook/TeenTitans'' has Raven when she is possessed. Yes, despite the infamous Bill Jaaska art. Where else are you going to find a {{canon}} example of a [[{{Stripperiffic}} nearly-naked]] [[Characters/TeenTitansNewTeenTitans Raven]] pulling a [[ClothingDamage cleavage-baring]] [[Characters/TeenTitansStarfire Starfire]] close and passionately kissing her?
* From the ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' and later ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', Moonstone (Karla Sofen). She's an amoral psychiatrist who causes her patients to commit suicide for fun, her powers come from an object that she convinced her patient to hand over to her, she literally killed her own mother, and she's both franchises' biggest example of ManipulativeBitch and is a psychopath. She also wears a skintight suit and has a body to rival Ms. Marvel's (to the point where she was able to pose as her).
* Overlord, who appears in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersLastStandOfTheWreckers'' and ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'', with his handsome (for a giant robot) looks and campy, charismatic, and theatrical mannerisms. One defining trait of Overlord has been his luscious lips. Possibly lampshaded by IDW themselves with the alternate cover for issue 15 which is basically a close-up of Overlord's lips.

* ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'': No, not Vampirella herself, who is definitely sexy but is also a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire. However, a number of her foes such as Dracula, the Blood Red Queen of Hearts, and even her mother Lilith at times are very seductive characters who, especially in the case of the women, are usually as [[{{Stripperiffic}} underdressed]] as the main character.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: While Diana's costumes tend to show more skin than those of her male contemporaries her Golden Age female villains wore far less and Clea's minuscule costume always included sheer pants. Clea was also only one of several whose main weapon was a whip.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]]. The chiseled, aristocratic features, the silver hair, the [[DarkAndTroubledPast tragic past...]] he's thrice her age and ''still'' makes [[Characters/MarvelComicsRogue Rogue]] weak in the knees. (They married, had ''kids'', one named after Charles Xavier himself, and were insanely happy in an AlternateUniverse, to the displeasure of the [[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit Gambit]] of the main universe.)
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]]. Given she's a shapeshifter it is almost certainly deliberate.
** [[Characters/XMenHellfireClub The Hellfire Club]] evoked this trope in their earliest appearances, with [[Characters/MarvelComicsEmmaFrost the White Queen]], Tessa and both Black Queens wearing [[OfCorsetsSexy leather fetish gear]]. The gentlemen of the club were of varying degrees of attractiveness, but they did manage to be well-dressed at all times.
** [[MadGod Dark Phoenix]]. The good Phoenix was already wearing the ultimate in FormFittingWardrobe gear, but Dark Phoenix has unearthly beauty and a habit of combining InterplayOfSexAndViolence with EarthShatteringKaboom. As [[Characters/XMen80sMembers Rachel Summers]] (the next host of the Phoenix, and despite being a sometimes HotBlooded AntiHero, entirely heroic) remarked when she chose to adopt the Dark Phoenix costume, Dark Phoenix might have been evil... but she had great taste in clothes! Of course, it should be said that Rachel had a repeatedly lampshaded penchant for impossibly tight red clothing to begin with.
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsMadelynePryor Madelyne Pryor]], evil clone of [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]]. Where Jean tended towards more practical clothing, Maddie pioneered [[MsFanservice the underboob]] look, daring choice in villain fashion. As she explicitly tells Jean during a crossover with [[Characters/MarvelComicsXMan X-Man]], "I have lived the darker side of us", remarking that men are just toys to her and Jean. Since she was, at this point in time, hanging around with Nate Grey and playing him like a fiddle in a fashion that had more than a few sexual overtones (despite the fact that he's [[{{Squick}} the alternate counterpart of her son]] - something which disturbed Nate, but didn't seem to bother her in the slightest, going by her IfICantHaveYou {{Yandere}} attitude) and shortly after became de facto consort of Sebastian Shaw, Black King of the Hellfire Club, she wasn't kidding.
** Characters/ScarletWitch tends to dress in more [[{{Stripperiffic}} revealing clothing]] as well. Then there's this line from her first appearance:
--->'''Angel:''' Wow! [[TotallyRadical What a dish!]] If ''she's'' an evil mutant, I want an application blank!

* In ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'', teen heroine Arrowette nearly murders a man, causing her to abandon superheroics and break down for fear that [[EvilCostumeSwitch she'll become evil and have to get a black leather costume that shows off her cleavage... and, for that matter, cleavage.]] Later, in an alternate universe, evil teen heroine Arrowette has a black leather costume, and [[MostCommonSuperPower massive cleavage]].

[[folder:Eastern Animation]]
* [[FoxyVixen Lt. Vixen]] from ''Animation/SquirrelAndHedgehog''. [[InsultBackfire Much to the delight of American fans.]]
* The WhiteHairBlackHeart LongHairedPrettyboy from ''Yo-Yo Man''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsFriendshipSouls: In-universe example with Katrina, Chrysalis, Thorax and Pharynx. Adagio describes Katrina as "having the kind of figure that starts wars" while Chrysalis apparently makes her look ''plain'' by comparison. In contrast, Thorax has looks [[DudeLooksLikeALady that would make most girls jealous]], and Pharynx is described as a chiseled {{Hunk}}.
%%* Princess Lotora from ''[[http://fanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Hottie_3:_The_Best_Fan_Fic_in_the_World Hottie 3: The Best Fan Fic in the World]]''.
* ''Fanfic/GuysBeingDudes'': InUniverse, Spark isn't intimidated by Arlo's [[LargeHam hammy]] threats, but he does find them attractive.
* In ''Fanfic/TheReturn'' Alexia and Akumi clearly believe Evil ''should'' be Sexy, but they both take it to such extremes they end up as a FashionVictimVillain and are soundly mocked by the heroes about their dress sense. The trope is played somewhat straight in that anyone converted into a succubus becomes a PerkyGoth, but this is immediately subverted in that they are not AlwaysChaoticEvil and are free to choose whether they are good, evil, or indifferent.
* In ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'', Voldemort is played by a shirtless young man in tights.
* ''Fanfic/QueenOfAllOni'': Right, one of Jade's Shadowkhan [[CoDragons bodyguards/enforcers]], is described as being "oddly handsome" once he takes his mask off. Surprisingly subverted with his twin, Left, who while described as not being ugly, is mostly blunt looking.
* In ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/SomeSemblanceOfMeaning'', the girl from District One, Amber, plays up the "alluring" angle in her interview, is very attractive and flirtatious, and also happens to be one of the most depraved tributes.
* Invoked by many crossover [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]][=/=][[AllAnimationIsDisney Non-Disney]] {{Fan Vid}}s. Jasmine from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', Esmeralda from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', and Elsa from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' are the most common characters to be [[AdaptationalVillainy be written as antagonists]]. Esmeralda's sex appeal is a large part of her character, Jasmine has her infamous red outfit scenes, and Elsa just happens to ooze sensuality during certain parts of "Let It Go" (in fact those segments are leftovers from when it was a VillainSong).
* Elsa from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally depicted]] as an antagonist. Fans have taken a special interest in her spiky, black-haired design ("[[FanNickname Onion!Elsa]]", "Evil Elsa") and she's typically played up this way.
* InUniverse in ''Teen Titans: Witch-Hunt''; When Donna is ([[MoreThanMindControl mostly]]) brainwashed into becoming a HotWitch, her boyfriend Conner pauses between trying to talk her down to compliment the new slinky black dress.
* ''Fanfic/RWBYEpicOfRemnant'': Angra Mainyu directly references this trope when he meets Salem.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Folklore]]
* ''Myth/TheWhiteWitchOfRoseHall'': The titular BlackWidow, slave-owning ''witch'' was often described as being a very beautiful woman.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* "A Touch of Evil" by Music/JudasPriest. Also an IntercourseWithYou.
* "I Wish I Had An Evil Twin" by Music/TheMagneticFields. It's ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and apparently, in Stephin Merritt's fantasy of an EvilTwin, said twin would "stink of sex appeal" and "all men would writhe under his [[SinisterScythe scythe]]" (presumably, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim this includes normally straight ones]]), who would then "bring the pretty ones to me/and they would think that I was he" ([[FridgeLogic which leaves one wondering how exactly the twin "stinks of sex appeal" and he doesn't]] and realizing that [[FridgeBrilliance evil really is THAT sexy]]).
* [[Music/LadyGaga "How could I love a man so purely? Even prophets forgive his crooked ways."]] Come to think of it, a lot of Gaga songs are about this.
* The [[Literature/HarryPotter wizard rock band]] Voldemort released an album titled ''Evil is Sexy''.
* Music/{{Vocaloid}}:
** ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'': A few of the "sinners" (and plenty of characters outside of that particular series). Them being [[AnimatedActors played by]] Vocaloids, they were bound to look appealing from the get-go. The ultimate example, however, would be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsIOkbxTA9M Duke Sateriasis Venomania]], played by the uber-{{Bishonen}} with Creator/{{Gackt}}'s voice Camui Gackpo, in this PV drawn to look ''even more'' attractive. [[spoiler:Though he only looks this way because of a DealWithTheDevil. His actual face is horribly deformed]].
** Gackpo plays one of these an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF02l0SFvRA La Rouge Est Amour]]. Though made by a different producer entirely, he plays a similar role in it, and even his outfit looks similar sans the mask and hair decorations; except here he's a vampire who kills his prey. Probably.
* In the AnimatedMusicVideo for ''Me! Me! Me!,'' the villains' {{Mooks}} are clones of a MsFanservice, whose main moves are sexy dancing, either in [[ThongOfShielding thong bikinis,]] or [[FullFrontalAssault nothing but piercings]], and [[ChestBlaster machine guns hidden in their]] huge boobs.
* Thumpasaurus has "Evil," which ponders this trope in its lyrics.
-->"Why is death so goddamn sexy?\\
Why is hate so goddamn sexy?\\
Why is having fear so sexy?"
* Music/DavidBowie's cocaine-created alter-ego from ''Music/StationToStation'', [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/david-bowie5889/images/f/fa/Thin_White_Duke.jpg/revision/latest/top-crop/width/360/height/450?cb=20170226024329 the Thin White Duke]], is an unpleasant, crackheaded, pro-fascist sociopath who came close to destroying Bowie's reputation from becoming LostInCharacter. However, to say that he's the very definition of a SharpDressedMan would be an ''understatement''.
* Music/ManOnTheInternet: Kylie Ann's voice for [[Characters/MetroidMetroidPrimeAndDarkSamus Dark Samus]] in "[[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uKoDoBdlgnA Brinstar Depths]]" is surprisingly [[ArousedByTheirVoice seductive]], in no small part thanks to her AssimilationPlot, with her calmly [[FalseReassurance reassuring]] that the listener will feel no pain when they're with her.
-->'''Dark Samus:''' Why do you struggle? You know you cannot resist me.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music Videos]]
* Music/{{Fergie}}'s psychopath stripper character in the music video for "Beautiful Dangerous", with Slash. Not only does she succeed in drugging him, tying him to a bed, and all that junk, but also kills him at the end with her knife!
* Creator/PamelaAnderson's giantess character in the video for Music/{{Miserable}} doesn't seem evil at first, merely sexy. What with lounging around in high heels and a bikini while the band climbs all over her hips, legs, high heels and rump. However, the evil comes in in the second half when out of nowhere she decides to start [[ToServeMan eating]] the guys alive one-by-one as they run from her in terror, and being either indifferent or amused by their attempts to struggle or beg for their lives.
* The AnthropomorphicPersonification of Death in the music video for Music/PearlJam's "Do the Evolution" is a schemer who consistently leads humanity to mass destruction, yet never fails at being flirtatious and voluptuous at the same time.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pinball]]
* Creator/{{Bally}}'s ''Pinball/MataHari'' pinball, which depicts the title character as a seductress and German spy.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* On ''International Wrestling'' and in the Dominican Wrestling Federation, this role was most associated with Amarillis "Pour Water", a manager associated with "The EvilGenius" Lightning Hernandez that was none the less easy on the eyes.
* Wrestling/RickRude wants all you guys scrolling down this page to be quiet while he takes off his robe and shows all the lady tropers what a real man looks like!
* Despite being the most despised woman in Wrestling/RingOfHonor, fans still voted Simply Luscious to be the hottest woman in the promotion over the otherwise much more preferred [[Wrestling/MickieJames Alexis Laree]].
* The Impact Zone and [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA ]] crowds in general tended to be against Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople throughout majority runs of its three lineups. When the original members reformed, the crowd booed. When they promised to strip, the crowd was very supportive (naturally they did not keep this promise, making them booed more.) Not so much the case with the Wrestling/AngelinaLove and [[Wrestling/KatarinaWaters Winter]] pairing, who ''sort of'' worked "{{face}}" on occasion but didn't get any pops for anything "sexy" they did, up to and including kissing each other... perhaps because they broke up [[FanPreferredCouple the Beautiful People]].
* The "Hoopla Hotties" associated with The House Of Truth in Wrestling/RingOfHonor tend to be just as conceited and depraved as stable leader Wrestling/TruthMartini is. They also tend to be big-breasted and eager to show it off as well as adverse to wearing pants.
* Wrestling/CodyRhodes, despite having few redeeming qualities (he was a decent competitor who loved his dad... that was about it), was voted most handsome superstar when the Wrestling/{{WWE}} divas were polled. This went to Cody's head and he started giving out grooming tips to "The WWE Universe" about how they too could be "dashing". Ironically, when this period came to an end and Cody reemerged as a supposedly disfigured, "undashing" man upset that he was now as ugly as everyone else, he was also the closest thing on television to The Beautiful People's [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]].
* For a while, this was true of about half of the women in the Pro Wrestling Syndicate, but that's to be expected when you name your women's show [[FunWithAcronyms BLOW]]. The first, and fan-supported, PWS Bombshells Champion Missy Sampson lost her title to the less supported [[Wrestling/BlackRose La Rosa Negra]] in a crooked finish because it was believed a better-looking champion would be better for business, even if her looks were about the only thing anyone liked about her.
* Wrestling/AlexaBliss was a CuteBruiser and KidAppealCharacter as a face. Upon a FaceHeelTurn she shed a lot more clothing and played up her sex appeal.
* The "[[UnsportsmanlikeGloating Oedo~tai dance]]" of World Wonder Ring STARDOM is based on this trope, but the individual standout is Hana Kimura, despite her wrestling in more clothing with the group than when solo. Toni Storm was once so put off by Kimura's "dancing" in particular that she forcibly tagged out of a match without even attempting to engage Kimura.
* Invoked on commentary and crossed with {{Fetish}} during [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=1135 AIW Women's Champion]] Wrestling/AllysinKay's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-gVxXuuIsE title defense]] against male wrestler Kobald at ''AIW The End of the World'' on December 12, 2012. At one point, the action spilled out to the floor. Allysin grabbed Kobald's valet Veronica Ticklefeather's baton[[note]]TheArtifact of her original gimmick as Archibald Peck's majorette in March Madness in Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} (yes, [[ComicBook/ArchieComics Archie and Veronica]])[[/note]] and was beating up Kobald with it, and one of the commentators said, "I'd pay to have her do that to me."
* Brad Dykens's [[http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/information/dvds/roh/glory-by-honor-6-n2/ review]] of the [=DVD=] for ''[[Wrestling/RingOfHonor ROH]] Glory By Honor VI Night 2'' called Wrestling/SaraDelRey "devilishly sexy."
* Wrestling/TaelerHendrix runs on this as a heel, wearing skimpy, revealing clothes and being a proud LargeHam. She even has a [[https://evilbabes.fandom.com/wiki/Taeler_Hendrix_(QoC_%26_ROH) page]] on the Evil Babes Wiki on fandom.com.
* Wrestling/{{Holidead}}, who was initially TheFriendNobodyLikes among even Oedo~tai. Reinforced by the pictures on her [[http://instagram.com/HolideadandI Instagram]] of her in either [[WalkingSwimsuitScene bikinis]] or [[LingerieScene underwear]] while holding knives.
* {{Wrestling/WWE NXT}}'s Toxic Attraction. Especially with the indie antics of Gigi Dolin (formerly known by her real name Priscilla Kelly), newcomer Jacy Jayne, and Wrestling/MandyRose's love for [[HellBentForLeather leather]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', in its various incarnations, has had not only incubi and [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Succubus succubi]], but also [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Aliisza alu-fiends]], [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Kaanyr_Vhok cambions]], [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Drow drow]], erinyes, [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Marilith mariliths]], and [[http://oldk.proboards41.com/index.cgi?board=approvedcharacters&action=display&thread=136 tieflings]], and the ruggedly handsome Archfiends [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Asmodeus Asmodeus]], [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Graz%27zt Graz'zt]], [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Mephistopheles Mephistopheles]], etc.
** The Devil Princess of Baator herself, Glasya.
** Fierna, the nominal ruler of the fourth layer. She's an embodiment of {{Lust}}, after all.
** Dungeons and Dragons tends to vary wildly over how straight it plays this trope: Drow and succubuses are generally always depicted as sexy, but sometimes mariliths, erinyes, and even the Demon Princes and Archfiends like Graz'zt and Fierna are instead shown as having [[RedRightHand ugly, sinister features]] to let you know how evil they are.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'':
** Slaanesh has this reputation, being the GodOfEvil representing [[SenseFreak sensations in all its forms]]. Unfortunately, while a cultist might start out like this, their senses are quickly burned out by so much excess that they have to go to even greater extremes to feel anything at all, to the point that [[BodyHorror eyes for nipples]] seem a reasonable option. On the other hand, one of Slaanesh's many [[TheCorruption "gifts"]] make its followers appear sexy or lovable to others, so much so that it can cause an enemy to fall in love with them and refuse to harm them, become so attracted to them that they won't run away even when they're being massacred, and force them to go wherever the psyker wants, even through minefields.
** The Dark Eldar of ''[=40K=]'' wear either skin-tight leather or barely anything at all, especially for [[DarkActionGirl Lelith Hesperax and the entire Wych sect]], and are ''the'' fetish faction. This makes sense given that their ancestors created Slaanesh by essentially orgying so hard they ''[[NegativeSpaceWedgie tore open a hole in reality]]''. The original ''Warhammer'' Dark Elves play this trope much straighter; there seems to be a correlation between how powerful a Sorceress is and how much skin she shows. And the [[OfCorsetsSexy Death Hags]] look about as far from the usual use of the word 'hag' as it is possible to get, provided they don't skip on their regular BloodBath.
** The Vampire Counts have their own version of this, and the original vampire bloodline is entirely composed of this in the "present-day". Lahmian vampires are specifically known to use their seduction to enslave entire populations rather than using outright force, and all Lahmian vampires are female.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'':
** The [[OmnicidalManiac Abyssal Exalted]] have a choice: as they get more powerful, they either become decayed and corpselike, or deathly but alluring. [[Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation "...One's not much better than the other, really."]]
** Of the five signature Infernal Exalted, one's a WhiteHairBlackHeart type and one's a freaking ''bondage nun''. Oh, and Manosque Cyan, who's hard to describe in these terms but is damn good-looking anyway.
* The current poster girl of this trope in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' is [[https://magic.wizards.com/en/story/planeswalkers/liliana-vess Liliana Vess]]. She is a [[TheVamp vamp]], a {{Necromancer}}, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20090602021546/http://wizards.com/magic/images/mtgcom/fcpics/features/HV3_5_4hpfonsj9o_EN.jpg happily engages]] in FoeRomanceSubtext, and wears {{Stripperiffic}} outfits or [[http://media.wizards.com/images/magic/daily/arcana/666_heu2s44j9q.jpg gorgeous gothic dress]].

[[folder:Theater]]
* "Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets!" The devil's sexy Fosse-dancing sidekick in ''Theatre/DamnYankees'' certainly fits the bill.
* Referred to ''almost'' by name in the ''Toxic Avenger'' musical, in the song "Evil is Hot", where the [[BigBad mayor]] seduces a scientist into telling her the titular monster's weakness.
* Méphistophélès as sung by baritone John Relyea in Robert Lepage's production of Berlioz's ''La Damnation de Faust'' is a handsome devil outfitted in tight red leather pants.
** Méphistophélès in ''Faust'' and the same character in Boito's ''Mefistofele'' often get this treatment, too. (Bare-chested [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSyV3cjWLWY Samuel Ramey]], anyone?)
* As does Baron Scarpia in Theatre/{{Tosca}}.
* The titular character of ''Theatre/DonGiovanni'' has managed to seduce over a thousand women.
* [[TheBaroness The Killer Queen]] in ''Theatre/WeWillRockYou'' is often played by someone tall and desirable or a BigBeautifulWoman. She also sings "Fat-Bottomed Girls".
* The Phantom in Creator/AndrewLloydWebber's ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' is very sexy until you take his mask off.
* Though she starts out ugly, after a spell at the end of the first act, the witch in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' gets damn hot. And usually gets a costume during the second act that shows this off plenty.
* Death in ''Theatre/{{Elisabeth}}''. Wears skintight leather clothing (has a white costume and a black one, but the black one shows up the most), typically portrayed by either pretty androgynous actors (e.g. Uwe Kröger, the original Death) or ruggedly handsome ones (e.g. Mark Seibert, second Vienna revival and tour). Seduces both the titular character and her son [[spoiler: to commit suicide]].
* The Mad Hatter from the Broadway musical ''Theatre/{{Wonderland}}'' absolutely fits the bill. Played by the stunning 5'11" Kate Shindle, Hatter wears a lot of black and red, including a corset, and walks with an elegance and grace that is almost hypnotizing. Every second she's on stage, she has your complete attention. She's charismatic and funny, so much so that you almost root for her to win by the end.
* One of the ways that the [[AIIsACrapshoot SQUIP]] in ''Theatre/BeMoreChill'' is able to control its host. When Jeremy first gets his SQUIP, one of the options for appearance is "sexy anime female" (and in later versions, sexy anime catgirl with tail), though he does not pick it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]] of ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' is the most deranged, and the most attractive character in the entire cast. [[spoiler: The rightful holder of the title of the Ultimate Fashionista, her leggy outfit oozes sexuality, even while she's oozing insanity by changing her personality at the drop of a hat. Her major fetish for '''despair''', and her charismatic knack of [[BreakThemByTalking pushing everyone's buttons until they're quaking in said despair]] certainly help in making her a very, ''very'' twisted hottie.]]
* ''[[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Deus Machina Demonbane]]'' takes over half the stuff from the Franchise/CthulhuMythos and gives it this treatment if it was a canonical asshole (or at least antagonistic to humanity to begin with) in the source. That said, the queen of this trope is [[spoiler:Nya(ralathotep)]]. It's hard not to find [[spoiler:the Crawling Chaos]] hot when it appears in the form of a HotLibrarian with a NavelDeepNeckline who can also be a {{Hermaphrodite}} and bisexual. For bonus points, she has some creepy sexy going on during her most dickish moments.
* All the love interests in ''VisualNovel/{{Demonheart}}'' are evil to some extent, especially the males.
** Raze is a shirtless half-demon with a shady past who collects whips and chains and is rather possessive of the player.
** Brash is a domineering evil knight and a cold hearted murderer with whom the player can have a hot and cold relationship, possibly leading to a [[spoiler:love confession]].
** Ari, while shy and kind on the outside, [[spoiler:is an evil witch's apprentice and lover, and a demon worshiper]], and she has nice cleavage.
* ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'': [[spoiler:[[Characters/DokiDokiLiteratureClubMonika Monika]]]] is incredibly attractive, less because she's outwardly sexy, but more because she has such a [[CoolBigSis pleasant personality]] and genuinely loves the player for [[OneTrueLove who they are as a person]]. [[spoiler:And all of this is despite her tampering with the game's code, driving Sayori and Yuri [[DrivenToSuicide to suicide]], and [[{{Unperson}} erasing Natsuki]] from existence [[LoveMakesYouEvil in the name of her love]].]]
* In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', the 'Obviously Good' female Servant, Saber, turns out to be the least sexiest out of the other enemy female Servants, though she still qualifies for being beautiful. Really, compare her with Rider, or Caster (especially with her hood down), though Rider has the excuse of just merely being an opposing Servant, not aligned as evil like Caster. [[spoiler:It become especially becomes obvious when she's corrupted into Saber Alter in ''Heaven's Feel''.]]
** Gilgamesh too, regardless of him being listed with a [[InformedAttribute "Chaotic Good"]] alignment. And [[spoiler:Archer in UBW]].
* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'':
** Dr. Iwamine Shuu is portrayed human-style as an elegant older man with purple eyes, glasses, and long, curly brown hair. It's hard to see his actual form (a Chukar Partridge, dubbed "Fat Bird" by the fans) as sexy in the same way, but the player character seems to be attracted without seeing him as human.
** ''Holiday Star'' makes it clear that [[spoiler:Hitori Uzune, whom we'd grown to know and love in Nanaki Kazuaki's stolen identity]], is also quite evil. Who'd have imagined a game about dating birds would include so many evil {{Bishonen}}?
* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'':
** [[spoiler:Miyo Takano]], who doubles as [[spoiler:a HospitalHottie]] and the [[BigBad mastermind]] behind the HatePlague gripping Hinamizawa Village.
** [[EvilTwin Shion Sonozaki]], the taser-wielding {{Yandere}} who in one instance licks the nails she was going to drive into Keichi's hands.
* Vera Oberlin and Damien [=LaVey=] in ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm''. The former is a money-loving GorgeousGorgon who's involved in a variety of illegal activities, the latter is a HotAsHell demon whose hobbies include arson, knives, and casual murder. One could argue that their cruelty and villainous actions just make them ''more'' appealing.
%%* [[spoiler:Dahlia Hawthorne]] from ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Trials and Tribulations]]'', [[spoiler:Kristoph Gavin]] from ''VisualNovel/{{Apollo Justice|AceAttorney}}'', and [[spoiler:Matt Engarde]] from ''Justice For All''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''The Sins''. If you are the AnthropomorphicPersonification of [[SevenDeadlySins Lust]] then you are automatically a candidate for this trope.
* Drusilla, the succubus from ''Webcomic/{{Pibgorn}}'', somehow manages to be a lot more seductive than the title character even though they are both attractive, slender women walking around (flying around?) wearing nothing but bodypaint.
* Lucrezia Mongfish in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', at least as she's played in the Heterodyne Shows and seen in flashbacks, dressed much more provocatively when she was evil than after she married William Heterodyne. [[spoiler:After she possesses her daughter's body as The Other, the BigBad of the series, one of the first things she does is strip to her underwear to admire the body she now controls and begin flirting with the son of her most ardent (and now dead) supporter with no shame whatsoever.]]
* ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'': Judging [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=542782#p542782 from]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=542786#p542786 these]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=542828#p542828 posts]] on the comic's official forum, the readers certainly think so when it comes to [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/dragon_roll Eva.]] Why? Because despite being [[EnsembleDarkhorse Zoe's]] evil arch-rival, there's no denying that Eva's drop-dead gorgeous and has [[MsFanservice a bangin' bod]], [[PerverseSexualLust they'd like to bang.]]
* ''Webcomic/LasLindas'' has [[RichBitch Alejandra Coldthorn]], who is closer to TheRival, than a real villain, but still serves as an antagonist for her mean streak and some of her less than ethical actions, [[spoiler: although this has been subverted as of recently]].
* "Shown off", as it were, to great effect in [[http://web.archive.org/web/20180617100140/http://www.projectwonderful.com/img/uploads/pics/8086-1216722960.jpg this]] {{Stripperiffic}} ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'' banner ad. It even lampshades it: ''Because Evil is Hot.'' Also a really good example of TheissTitillationTheory in action.
* LaughablyEvil Tabitha in ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'': Satan's Daughter, the Antichrist, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and the main characters' landlady]].
* Between [[CuteMonsterGirl Madeline]], [[BigBad Lethe]], [[CainAndAbel Issac]], and [[TheStarscream Grey]], the bad guys in ''Webcomic/{{Demonology 101}}'' have this down. The Magdelines use this as a weapon.
* ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' hung a lampshade on an aversion, with [[spoiler:Countess Repugsive]].
-->'''[[spoiler: Repugsive]]:''' Evil girls are only taken seriously when they're hot. When I was alive, I didn't look much better than I do now.\\
'''Zorion:''' This explains the "nice personality" you were famous for.
* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150428205529/http://www.airshipentertainment.com/growfcomic.php?date=20091004 This]] ''ComicStrip/WhatsNewWithPhilAndDixie'' comic explains it succinctly:
-->'''Phil:''' You're [[FaceHeelTurn changing alignment]]? But why?\\
'''Dixie:''' Are you kidding? The perks are fantastic! Better hair -- [[MostCommonSuperPower bigger bust]] -- bitchin' outfits -- '''plus''' I get my own minions!
* Almost all the characters in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', of whatever moral standing, are more or less good-looking, but Senna, a raging egomaniac with a very distant relationship with the truth, is the one with the international modeling career. (Matt, who is merely a bit of a {{Jerk|ass}} at times, appears to get slightly lower-level modelling jobs.) She certainly appears to think that evil is sexy herself; in her [[UnreliableNarrator highly unreliable account]] of her relationship with [[Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks her former assistant Sandra]], [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/menage-a-3/she-planned-treachery planning treachery changes Sandra from a mouse to a vamp.]]
* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' being turned into a vampire not only strips away most of a person's morals, but it also [[VampiresAreSexGods turns the men into muscle-bound hunks and the women into thin bombshells]]. [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19980927 They consider putting this feature in their infomercials.]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Shadowgirls}}'', for a [[spoiler: grandmother,]] Moria's looking pretty good, even if it is partly [[spoiler: glamour]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' has the traditional [[GoodAngelBadAngel evil conscience]] [[http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=290 female uniform]], as well as any appearance by Cassiel.
* The [[http://www.succubus.net/wiki/images/thumb/6/66/SinfestDevilGirls.jpg/200px-SinfestDevilGirls.jpg Devil Girls]] from ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}''. Indeed Fuschia's slow HeelFaceTurn is largely represented by her making attempts to ''not'' be sexy. Both [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-05-18 Fuschia]] and [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2007-08-20 Satan]] invoke this trope, the joke being that they don't believe it themselves.
* Sabine the [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. Also Tsukiko (and Samantha).
* The Condesce from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' is quite an example of this trope in her alluring catsuit.
* ''Webcomic/{{Heartcore}}'' features demons as central characters; although they run the gamut from AntiHero to CardCarryingVillain, all of them are good-looking, especially the demonesses such as Amethyst, Nyx, Teodora, Lilium, and Sukina.
* Although how evil he is can be up to interpretation, this is the general consensus for Phirre Lotus from ''Webcomic/NightmareFactory''. [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/05/da/0f/05da0f55e722f030e1adfc8141a9b957.jpg This]] is his first appearance. Even [[https://www.facebook.com/LINEWEBTOON/photos/a.253519774854523.1073741827.249767048563129/618593745013789/?type=3 Line Webtoon]] agreed with a commenter who said he was [[StealthPun basically hot as f*ck.]]
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'':
** [[EvilRedhead Hwaryun]] is certainly sexy, though YMMV on how evil she is.
** White is irredeemably evil and incredibly sexy.
** Rachel, while using her [[{{SexierAlterEgo}} Icarus]] Avatar qualifies, although her actual appearance is rather average. This effect diminishes when, [[spoiler:after detonating [[{{WhyAmITicking}} the bomb]] in Khun's chest]], she pulls her standard [[{{TheUnSmile}} off-smile]], and the facial features of Icarus do nothing to help.
** Khun Maschenny Jahad is both incredibly attractive (as standard for Jahad Princesses), and also more psycho than any other female character in the series- ''including Rachel''; she's just usually subtle about it.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Susan's character in a videogame she's playing sports horns and a forked tail after she commits acts the game considers evil. One NPC [[http://egscomics.com/egsnp/parable-046 sees these]], especially the tail, as sexy.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* Website/ChannelAwesome:
** [[ComicBook/BlackestNight Black Lantern]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Spoony]] and [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Dr. Linksano]].
** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic seems to jump from Woobies Are Sexy when he's suffering and this trope when he succeeds at being sinister. ("Bratz" review, "The Review Must Go On", and a lot of his stuff in ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'' comes to mind.)
** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick is ''hot'' when she shows her sociopathic side.
*** Dark Nella wears leather and eyeliner, has demonic powers, and is ''really'' pissed off at the Chick for abusing her.
*** Dr. Tease is a horrible, amoral person who creates woobie sexbots for funsies. This just makes her all the hotter.
** The Spoony One somehow becomes about 10 times sexier when he's [[BlackComedyRape cheerfully raping his fellow reviewers]] in the "Spooning with Spoony" videos.
** Add Judas Liz and Dark Paw to the list.
** The Other Guy gets another go with Carl Copenhagen in WebVideo/DemoReel, as he's intimidating, ''very'' good with weapons and has a sexy German accent.
** The BigBad from ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' is considered this both in and out of universe.
** Even Doug gets his turn in the advertisement for the third DVD, playing with a knife while shirtless and torturing a guy he's kidnapped.
** Creator/MaraWilson.
** Subverted by Devil Boner, who looks the part in leather and eyeliner, and was certainly always considered attractive, but he only got an outpouring of love after his feminist rant to the meninists in ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad''.
* The main character of ''WebVideo/DrHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' usually doesn't qualify, being a rather conservatively dressed and nebbishly awkward dork (albeit one played by Creator/NeilPatrickHarris). But during the song "Slipping" he takes a level in charismatic and holds a room in fearful thrall while singing in a quiet, hypnotic, borderline-seductive voice. Including leaning in and grabbing the chin of a bashfully frightened bystander to force her to look at him, in an almost RomanticizedAbuse manner. Even lampshaded by the actress, who croons in the commentary that "This is ''my'' favorite scene."
* Fawkes from ''WebVideo/TheGuild'' is pretty hot for a StrawNihilist MagnificentBastard. [[spoiler:Codex/Cyd]] obviously thinks so.
* ''WebAnimation/HunterTheParenting:'' Pyotr, the ArcVillain of the first few episodes, transforms from a [[FeralVampires spindly and animalistic man with a face like a road accident]] to [[{{Hunk}} a hulking, swaggering mountain of a man]] with [[ButterFace a face like a road accident]] who's almost bursting out of his clothes after [[spoiler: [[MonstrousCannibalism diablerizing his fellow vampires]]]], and despite the aforementioned face is ''still'' seen as sensual by viewers. As Big-D says, some [[EvilMakesYouUgly Nosferatu]] make it [[YouSexyBeast work]].
* Everyone in WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries is hot, but George Wickham and Caroline Lee play it up to a new level.
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': '''All the damn time.'''
** Cinder Fall, who is hot both figuratively [[PlayingWithFire and literally]]. Her sultry voice and the red minidress she wears [[note]]when not infiltrating Beacon Academy[[/note]] probably had something to do it.
** Cinder's two CoDragons Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black have their own devoted fanbases as well, Emerald for her well-proportioned hips and Mercury for his gymnastic appeal.
** Their [[TeethClenchedTeamwork reluctant ally]] Roman Torchwick is definitely this.
-->'''Roman''': [[FoeRomanceSubtext Hello, kitty cat. Ya miss me?]] You know, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything we really ought to stop meeting like this. People are gonna talk.]]
** [[CuteMute Neo]], Torchwick’s ally, is a beautiful PintSizedPowerhouse whose good looks always carry over into her various disguises.
** After the WhamEpisode that was the Volume 3 finale, [[spoiler:Cinder's boss Salem, the Bigger Bad of the series (so far),]] may or may not qualify as this depending on who you ask. On the one hand, HumanoidAbomination; on the other, MostCommonSuperPower...
** Whether [[AntiVillain Raven Branwen]] is ''evil'', precisely, is still a divisive question among the fans. But she's [[IDidWhatIHadToDo got plenty of blood on her hands]], and well, she ''is'' [[MsFanservice Yang]]'s [[StacysMom mom...]]
** While Adam did have his [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys villainous appeal]], [[SharpDressedMan and has a slick, stylish fashion sense to boot]], Adam is seen as this, even after the WhamShot that revealed the [[EyeScream brand on his face]], his attractiveness levels ''increased significantly''. It helps that the brand barely harms his looks at all - being spread over a small area, consisting of a scarred eye and burn marks on the target spot. As one commenter put it:
--->'''Website/YouTube commenter''': [[https://youtu.be/C7zV5_P9q7w?t=227&lc=UgwVuThICAFpqJEFkM94AaABAg Raise your hand if you were personally victimized by Adam's ''handsomeness.'']]
* As well as holding the firm belief that EvilIsCool, ''Podcast/KakosIndustries'' is peppered with talk of endless availability to amazing sex with beautiful people. Even the most mundane of announcements sound oddly seductive due to the smooth, deep voice of the narrator.
* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': Agent Connecticut. She [[spoiler: becomes disillusioned with Project Freelancer's methods and defects to the group that the Director told his agents were insurrectionists]]. She also wears the bulkiest chest piece available in ''VideoGame/Halo3'', with the animators at Rooster Teeth stating that was intentional in Season 9's commentary. There's also [[spoiler: her lover, the Leader of the "Insurrectionists", who removes his helmet to visibly mourn her after she's killed by Agent Texas, who then dons her armor, begins calling himself C.T. and many years later becomes the main antagonist of Season 7]]. He happens to look a little like Soap from ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare''.
** Given that the Reds and Blues were really [[spoiler: just simulation troopers meant to test the Freelancers in live fire situations]] many of the Freelancers can be seen as this, as pretty much all of them who have had their faces revealed are quite good looking.
** Once Chrovos gets a female form\voice in Season 17, it definitely fits. Donut outright describes the result as "a big and sexy frightening lady".
* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'':
** Alastor. Asexual cannibalistic serial killer? Check. WickedCultured SharpDressedMan? Also check.
** Katie Killjoy is a horrible bitch...but she also has quite the set of HartmanHips.

** [[Characters/XMenHellfireClub The Hellfire Club]] evoked this trope in their earliest appearances, with [[Characters/EmmaFrostWhiteQueen the White Queen]], Tessa and both Black Queens wearing [[OfCorsetsSexy leather fetish gear]]. The gentlemen of the club were of varying degrees of attractiveness, but they did manage to be well-dressed at all times.

* EvilIsSexy/WebAnimation

** Characters/{{Ma|rvelComicsMagneto}}gneto. The chiseled, aristocratic features, the silver hair, the [[DarkAndTroubledPast tragic past...]] he's thrice her age and ''still'' makes [[Characters/MarvelComicsRogue Rogue]] weak in the knees. (They married, had ''kids'', one named after Charles Xavier himself, and were insanely happy in an AlternateUniverse, to the displeasure of the [[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit Gambit]] of the main universe.)
** Characters/{{Mystique}}. Given she's a shapeshifter it is almost certainly deliberate.

* The "Hoopla Hotties" associated with The House Of Truth in Wrestling/RingOfHonor tend to be just as conceited and depraved as stable leader Wrestling/TruthMartini is. They also tend to be big breasted and eager to show it off, as well as adverse to wearing pants.
* Wrestling/CodyRhodes, despite having few redeeming qualities (he was a decent competitor who loved his dad... that was about it), was voted most handsome superstar when the Wrestling/{{WWE}} divas were polled. This went to Cody's head and he started giving out grooming tips to "the WWE universe" about how they too could be "dashing". Ironically, when this period came to an end and Cody reemerged as a supposedly disfigured, "undashing" man upset that he was now as ugly as everyone else, he was also the closest thing on television to the Beautiful People's [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]].

* Brad Dykens' [[http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/information/dvds/roh/glory-by-honor-6-n2/ review]] of the [=DVD=] for ''[[Wrestling/RingOfHonor ROH]] Glory By Honor VI Night 2'' called Wrestling/SaraDelRey "devilishly sexy."

* The AnthropomorphicPersonification of Death in the music video for Music/PearlJam's "Do the Evolution" is a conniving DarkChick who consistently leads humanity to mass destruction, yet never fails at being flirtatious and voluptuous at the same time.
