Fiona Goode
The former Supreme of the coven at Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies in New Orleans, Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) is a glamorous, stunning, brilliant, wildly powerful and exceptionally vain woman. In the TV series American Horror Story: Coven, she possesses the ability to drain humans of their life force in order to extend her own and is constantly searching for a permanent fix to mortality. She returns to Miss Robichaux’s Academy after a jet-setting stint in hopes of regaining control of the coven, but her daughter and current coven of witches make it difficult. She dresses as fabulously as her lifestyle, in sexy, tight, black clothing with a cigarette in hand.
Bombshell Katana
DC Bombshells is an alternate reality where the female superheroes guard the homefront during WWII. In this reality, Katana’s look is inspired by the British “Hammer Horror” films of the 1950’s. For more authenticity, the armor can be spray painted silver and the front of the dress can be hemmed.
Cordelia Foxx
As the Headmistress of the witch coven housed in Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies, Cordelia Foxx (Sarah Paulson) guides her students with a gentle, caring hand in the TV series American Horror Story: Coven. She is the daughter of the former and extremely powerful Supreme, although she and her mother have a strained – and sometimes murderous – relationship. Cordelia, a master of herbs and potions, understands the dark powers gathering against her coven and will sacrifice everything to protect it. This guide is for her outfit after she looses her eyesight, when her clothes change from a mix of white and black to predominantly black.

Violet Song Jat Shariff
In Ultraviolet, set in a world in which vampires exist due to a disease called hemoglophagia, Violet Song Jat Shariff (Milla Jovovich) is part of the underground resistance fighting in the Blood Wars. The government is rounding up the vampires – called homophages – in order to kill or experiment upon them. Violet has a violent and bloody history with those she battles, having lost both a husband and child to them. This guide covers her red leather outfit that nearly covers her from head to toe to protect her from the sun.
Bombshell Poison Ivy
In DC Bombshells, Poison Ivy uses her botanist skills to grow plants in winter and feed the Russians during WWII. She also used her skills to create a perfume to defeat the Nazis, but her skin turned green as a result. In this depiction, she is modeled after 1940’s pinups, complete with victory rolls in her hair. The key to her costume is the ivy accents, so get creative with makeup, temporary tattoos, or floral ivy to complete the look.
