Title? What Title?
The distinction is that not every evil yet beautiful person is The Libby... though pretty much all Libbies are evil yet beautiful.
Being in a Japanese-produced work is not enough of a difference to warrant its own trope.
Difference is whether they use their beauty on behalf of themselves or others. In real life, we see this with marketing; some girls pose for commercials for profit, and then there are those who use the fame they got as a result of their sex appeal to help with charities. (Kim Kardashian comes to mind.)

Yeah, the image got put back up. I vote to pull it again.

Hi
It's gone...didn't check to see when it got re-pulled.

Perhaps a comparison between a sweet, girl-next-door-type pretty goodie girl, and a stunning, sexy baddie beauty? Because this trope isn't about beauties who happen to be bad, it's more of the type of beauty that gets associated with wickedness.
I see the Awesomeness.
Hm, I like peccantis' suggestion.
Fight smart, not fair.
Hi
Clock is set.

with , perhaps juxtaposing Dahlia Hawthorne with a morally-better, but less pretty lady, might be an idea.

Hi
Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
Are you saying a pretty girl using her look to dethrone the Libby is a case of Beautyis Bad? - Osmium
To the contrary, I think it would be a subversion.
