The present work aims at understanding the social representations of women so-called periguetes. Managing debates on gender, media and deviant individuals, this study seeks to reflect about the role of periguetes within contemporary culture. Furthermore, questions related to body studies, herein taken as social capital, are also discussed. The periguete women are analysed based on their features and representations, which leads us to reflect over an ideal typical model of feminine beauty. Be it based on attitudes, behaviour, gestures or clothing, such women are at once recognised, but also discriminated against. The methodology chosen consisted of literature review in light of theoretical studies from Social Science authors as Erving Goffman, Howard Becker, Mary Douglas, Mirian Goldenberg and Simone Beauvoir, among others.
