vampish
Sultry and predatory
Vampish describes a woman who is seductively alluring in a dark, dangerous way—suggesting the calculated glamour of a femme fatale.
The word derives from vamp, slang for a woman who uses her sexuality to manipulate men: She gave him a vampish smile across the bar.
The style evokes old Hollywood: smoky eyes, red lips, knowing glances.
