She is a powerful and manipulative, using her ambition, beauty, charm, and sexuality to get what they want in life. The figures of femme fatales have been a consistent staple of the culture surrounding the notions of femininity. Femme fatale could be in various forms, but supposedly pose a threat to a patriarchal system. The femme fatale has not failed to capture the imaginations of literature, film and modern day fashion. As cultures shift and ideas change, femme fatale got rid of the stigma they had and they can even be made into Hollywood stars or celebrities to form fashion trends.
