The 10 Most Gorgeous Female Movie Villains (2 of 6)

Sue — The Substance

In Coralie Fargeat’s frenetic body-horror spectacle, Demi Moore unleashes her sinister double: Sue, a dangerously alluring figure who crawls into existence after a bizarre green serum courses through her veins. Brought to life by Margaret Qualley, Sue is a perfect contradiction—disarming sweetness wrapped around pure malice. Her mission is chillingly clear: erase the woman who birthed her and steal the life she feels entitled to. What follows isn’t just unsettling—it’s a full descent into nightmare territory, where charm and violence collide in ways you can’t look away from.

Kathryn Merteuil — Cruel Intentions (1999)

Sarah Michelle Gellar gave us a villain so unhinged you almost applaud the audacity. Kathryn uses her unnatural charm to play people like chess pieces, and never lifts her dainty finger while doing it. She’s the type to give you her biggest, happiest smile, while at the same time plotting your demise three steps ahead. It’s the confidence that makes her so hot. You know better, but resisting her is basically extra-hard mode.
