Be aware that the term "Gypsy" is rejected by many if not most Romanies because of its negative connotations, and calling real Romanies by that name is likely to be considered offensive.

* ComicBook/ScarletWitch has long been established as having Romani ancestry. However, the idea of her being a Hot Romani Woman did not come in until the George Perez designed costume from the late 1990s run of ''ComicBook/TheAvengers''. It looked like a stereotypical Romani dancing girl outfit. Supposedly, it was to 'honor her Romani heritage', but it was really just pure {{Fanservice}}, especially as she [[VaporWear could not have been wearing underwear beneath it]].

* Downplayed example with [[DarkActionGirl Celeste]] in ''Film/CryOfTheWerewolf'', who is descended from Marie LaTour, a Werewolf of wealthy French-American origin who murdered her husband (over him having found her HumanToWerewolfFootprints) and then ran away to join a local band of gypsies. Celeste is presumably of mixed Roma/Cajun ancestry, and is an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette, but has a position of authority within her gypsy community (being deferentially called "Princess"), is fully assimilated into their culture, and wears eastern European clothing almost exclusively.

She is flirtatious and MoralGuardian types warn the local young men to avoid her as they say she is the "wrong type of girl". Indeed, the townspepple are warned about even going near the Romani's temporary encampment on the edge of town, where campfires burn all night and singing can be heard. If 19th-century adventure fiction and romances are to be believed, there is also something special about the eyes of these women, which are dark and variously described as large, beautiful, fascinating, and even hypnotizing.

The UsefulNotes/{{Romani}} people have long had an ambiguous status in Western societies and popular culture: alien enough to serve as a convenient Other, but geographically near at hand. As a result, they have been both vilified and exoticized. The stereotype of the Hot Gypsy Woman is an example of the latter.
