Not all mugshots are created equal, and while you would imagine the snap taken before you’re put behind prison bars is probably not the most flattering picture, this group of baddies may have broken the law, but they looked ridiculously hot doing it.
Orange Is the New Hot
Maggie Simmons was arrested back in 2010 for the classic driving after drinking one too many gin and tonics.
Her mugshot was later released on the internet, and as you can imagine it went viral. People could not get over those smoldering eyes which seem to be complemented by her orange prison wear!
Don't let your guard down yet, there's more...
Work It
Anyone else thinks this mugshot babe is a spitting image of Rihanna?
She certainly is embodying the ‘bad gal’ ways, but we doubt Riri would be proud of her doppelganger.
Mugshot Miller
Why is it that we tend to want hot convicts to be released immediately! Take Jacob Miller, the hot felon arrested for numerous charged including weapon violation and narcotics.
His mugshot got a lot of attention, which isn’t surprising considering his godly features.
Blue Eyed Bandit
Nobody is meant to look this good for a mugshot.
Although Gabrielle Hill probably looks great all dressed up, the woman who was arrested for possessing illegal drugs somehow looks great in her mugshot too!
The Hot Felon
The Hot Felon has literally become the world-recognized nickname for Jeremy Meeks. While he was a nobody when he was arrested for street terrorism in 2014, after his mugshot went viral (I mean… he is beautiful) he soon became a sensation.
He is now an internationally famous model who is dating Chloe Green, the daughter of the billionaire founder of Top Shop.
Miss Marijuana
This gorgeous blonde was arrested for possession of marijuana.
Honestly would have let her slide. But at least we get this gorgeous mugshot!
Hot Off The Press
Why no, this is not an Abercrombie & Fitch ad, it’s yet another mugshot that proves a photogenic man is a photogenic man no matter where.
I mean- that smirk though!
Face Art
Okay, it’s more than a little bit scary but Morgan Joyce Varn, a 24-year-old mother has blackened eyes that turn heads.
Talk about gothic art on your own body.
Happy Hottie
Who on earth can look this jovial when they find themselves in this much trouble?
This gorgeous man looks like he has never found anything as funny as his current situation. I guess it's better to laugh than cry, especially when you have those perfect white teeth to flaunt.
Licensed to Look Hot
Sara Jane Isbister was arrested for driving without a license and taken to jail by the Country Sherriff’s Office in Indian River County.
But when her mugshot reached the realms of the internet people were way more concerned with her beautiful butterfly eyes than her charges.
Drunk Jensen
What is it with drunk woman driver’s that their mugshots look this good!
Jennifer Jensen looks more like she is competing for a pageant that posing for prison. Another example of a mugshot that went viral for the wrong reasons.
Miss Narcotics Nevada
Katie Rees is a former Miss Nevada that just cannot seem to keep on the straight and narrow path.
She has become known for her criminal behavior (and criminally gorgeous mugshots). Her charged include possession of marijuana and prescription drugs, as well as 4 felonies, charged related to methamphetamine.
Tattooed Treasure
This hot gang member’s mugshot looks more like a modeling shoot.
Two of the tattoos on her chest reads ‘Love is pain’ and ‘pain is pleasure’…. Messages that are not the healthiest and helps us understand why she found herself behind bars.
Housekeeping Horror
This hottie housekeeper tried to exploit an old man for more than $100k for a fake brain tumor operation!
As you can imagine from the fact that she’s on the list, her rouse didn’t exactly go according to plan.
Cry Baby
Even though her tears, she is still ridiculously photogenic!
This adult actress was crying during her mugshot after she was arrested for fighting with her boyfriend in Vegas. You know what they say, what happens in Vegas… doesn’t apparently stay in Vegas.
Tell Me About It, Stud
This guy has that model smirk down to a tee!
It honestly looks as though he is posing for some high-class modeling agency. I wouldn’t mind patting him down…
Angel Face
Looks can be deceiving, just take one glance at the woman in this mugshot who looks like she needs wings with that angelic face!
We can only wonder what on earth she could have done to land her behind bars.
Stare Into My Eyes
Okay, he may need a haircut, but this criminal has such deep eyes I’m falling into them through the screen!
Let’s hope whatever he did was a minor offense, so he will be back on the streets strutting his stuff.
California Stud
Looks like this guy took a wrong turn on his way to an audition for some surfer magazine.
From his blonde luscious locks to his bright blue eyes, I must be California dreaming…
Doe Eyes
We don’t know much about the justice system, but I’m pretty sure those doe eyes deserve special treatment.
Perhaps another mugshot with which to bless the public?
Girl’s Got It
That pucker…that pink ….cashmere sweater… we see you girl.
This woman knows how to be seductive wherever in whatever. She manages to pull of cashmere AND a mugshot. Kudos to her.
Brunette Beauty
Okay so her eyebrow game is not exactly on point.
Still, you must look beyond the brows and you see that this woman is very good looking, even in orange.
Ready For My Close Up
It honestly looks like this woman was prepared for her close the day she got her mugshot taken.
We see a little bit of that Winona Ryder spunk mixed with flawless skin and our mind wonders what on earth she did to get her locked away, can you be charged for looking TOO good?
Jawline For Days
Another criminal on the list that makes us believe its more of a casting call than a prison mugshot. His strong jawline and fierce features have us swooning.
Why are the bad boys the ones who look this good??
‘Cute Mugshot Girl’
She was nicknamed ‘cute mugshot girl after this picture went viral.
The North Carolina beauty had the internet going gaga over Alysa Bathrickes doe-eyed gaze. She was arrested in 2014 for illegally distributing Xanax.
Black Eyed Beauty
Judging from those nasty bruises on his beautiful face, we imagine violence had to do with this guy’s arrest.
Let's hope he heels up and is back to being a good citizen who gets to flaunt those abs sooner rather than later!
Southern Bell
Even though she looks absolutely distraught, somehow, she is still drop-dead gorgeous.
Kathryn Dennis was arrested for underage possession of alcohol and disorderly conduct and was later cleared of any wrong-doing (her looks probably had something to do with it).
15 Minutes of Fame
Tony Lee Hopkins got her 15 minutes of fame when the mugshot of the pretty brunette went viral thanks to her perfect cheekbones.
It seems she’s more suited for the screen than the slammer, but you get what you deserve we guess.
Staring Competition
This guy looks like he is staring into the eyes of a lover more than the eyes of a police officer who is snapping his picture.
Another wildly gorgeous mugshot, keep em coming!
Drunk Damsel in Distress
The beautiful Veronica Rodriguez was arrested for drunk driving in Florida in 2010.
Her mugshot went viral thanks to her sultry brown eyes and perfect features. Let’s hope miss Rodriguez learned from her way and her viral mugshot.
Freckled and Fine
How can it even be legal to look this sexy in your mugshot? (I mean we know legal isn’t the top of this guy’s priorities already).
What really gets us with this mugshot is his smirk as though he knows exactly what he is doing despite the fact that he is about to head to the slammer.
A Modeling Mess
People fell so in love with this woman’s mugshot, that men even offered to pay to bail her out!!
Angela Coates was arrested in Dekalb County for disorderly conduct, she was a practicing model (hence the gorgeous mugshot) and went on to become renowned for being one of the sexiest women behind bars.
Trespassing
This beautiful man was arrested for trespassing…
I mean honestly, if I found him trespassing in my private property, I would probably make him stay!
Raunchy Rachel
Just Another drunk driver...
Rachel Katheryn Lemler was caught driving under the influence in California in 2011 and left the world with this sexy mugshot that has landed on many lists of hottest mugshots of all time.
Tough Love
Cops snapped this head-turning mugshot of the unnamed blonde beauty after she was beating her husband with a toaster!
Why, you ask? Apparently, he didn’t cook her breakfast correctly. Love hurts, but it shouldn’t hurt this much surely.
A Model Citizen?
Ralitsa Ivanova was a former Maxim cover girl, but the buxom blonde was not exactly a model citizen when, in 2015, she was caught driving in the wrong lane on a busy Florida thoroughfare.
As you can imagine, she failed her sobriety test.
Sexy Scammer
While she has the Hollywood looks, Jessie Alexander does not have the talent to back it up.
The woman got arrested after she scammed business out of thousands of dollars claiming she was a local TV producer.
A Small Crime
She looks way too sweet and innocent to commit any serious crimes! And that’s because she didn’t.
Girl next door Lindsay Evans was arrested for failing to pay a $46 restaurant bill. Was it worth it Lindsey??
Modeling or Manslaughter?
One look at Christina Marie Carrol is enough to understand why the blonde is pursuing a modeling career.
It looks as though that may be cut short as she is now the suspect in a hit-and-run vehicular manslaughter case.
A Fox Fiend
Sean Kory is clearly not a fan of Fox News.
He was arrested after he confronted a man on Halloween that he thought was a Fox News Reporter and attacked the poor guy with a tennis racket! He may have a temper, but damn he is fine.
