If you want to dress up as the sexy, sometimes shocking, and certainly captivating villain, just follow these easy steps.
9 Ideas for Catwoman Costumes
- Start with the outfit. Depending on Catwoman’s style (her costume of him has changed quite a bit over the years), you can make a full vinyl catsuit or black leggings with a black leotard. For a slightly less sexy look, you can simply wear skinny black pants and a skinny black shirt. For the authentic Michelle Pfeiffer look, cut your outfit and sew it back together.
- EarsThey are an important part of the costume. Depending on the top you have chosen for your outfit, you can either sew a hood with cat ears or go with a headband and attach cat ears to it.
- Gloves– In the actual comics, Catwoman’s costumes sometimes don’t have gloves, but more often than not she is depicted as wearing black or purple gloves. They can be as long as an entire arm or stop just below her elbow.
- Shoes – you can wear black heels or black boots
- Belt – In general, the thicker the better. Black or purple both work well.
- Hate –Catwoman’s alter ego, Selina, is usually depicted with blonde hair, but if you have a full hood, chances are no one will see your hair. If you’re going to wear just a headband and cat ears, wild black hair works well.
- make-up– Choose dark, smoky eyes and generally black or dark red lipstick. Optional cat whiskers.
- Accessories – He has had a range of accessories over the years, but almost always a long black whip. You can also add a purple or black layer if you like. And newer versions of the sexy villain include large, black goggles (similar to ski goggles)
- Attitude – Don’t forget the most important part of any Catwoman costume: the attitude! Play aloof, mysterious, and always sexy and you’re sure to stop traffic in your outfit.
Catwoman costumes are great for Halloween, costume parties, and any occasion where you’d like to be the center of attention.
