List of some womens considred to be vulgar 

1.Cleopatra

Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. Her romantic liaisons and military alliances, as well as her exotic beauty and powers of seduction, earned her an enduring place in history. In the 1963 film Cleopatra, the titular character was portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor, an Oscar-winning actress who mesmermized audiences with not only her dramatic performances but also with her private life.

Both women share my required traits for the truly Fab-Vulgar:

A curious intellect

Innate confidence

Physical beauty

Take-no-prisoners attitude

Powerful, perceived control over their destiny

Disdain and disregard for convention

Layer, layer, layer

“Successories” – each required jewels from her many lovers

Unlimited fashion opportunities

Very public downfall

…and powerful lovers wrapped around their little fingers. Caesar, Mark Antony, Mike Todd and Richard Burton.

Hum, if I am to use this attribute as a requirement for true Fab-Vulgarity, I may have to add Wallis Simpson to my list. She does meet all the requirements and was very publicly foiled in becoming Queen of England. But the King did abdicate for her. That may be the historical height of a vulgarity.
