In an era where male felons are landing high-profile modelling deals from their mugshots, it can be easy to forget about female felons.

But Instagram account 'mugshawtys' has not forgotten, and has spent the past nine months compiling the mug shots of shockingly photogenic felons.

Some of the women on the page have been arrested for DUI, larceny and loaning out their drivers license, while others are facing more serious charges.

Despite the serious situation the women have gotten themselves into, some still manage to strike a pose for the camera, their hair still perfectly in place.

Others appear to have had a more rough transition to the booking station.

'Hot Felon' Jeremy Meeks started a trend when he shot to fame in 2014 after his mugshot was posted to Facebookby the Stockton Police Department.

The former criminal, who had been arrested on felony weapons charges in California, became an internet sensation.

His piercing blue eyes and full lips attracted thousands of likes and comments, and saw him walk out of prison and on to the runway at New York Fashion Week.

He is now dating Topshop heiress Chloe Green and she gave birth to their first child together this week.
