25 Of The Most Over-The-Top Yet Iconic TV Outfits
I need to buy all of these immediately.
Back in high school, I was very extra. I was the QUEEN of overdressing for the situation.
Unfortunately, I did not take photos of my most extra outfits, but I wore fake pearls, bright colored tights, giant headbands with 3D flowers, and four-inch-high heels. TO SCHOOL. No, I wasn't cool, thanks for asking!
I've changed since then (I may or may not currently be in pajamas), but I'm still obsessed with any and all TV characters with elaborate fashion. Below are some of my favorite examples!
1. Villanelle's pink tulle dress on Killing Eve:
I NEED THIS DRESS.
2. And her "mourning" outfit when she was supposed to kill Eve:
Scratch that — I need her whole closet.
3. Blair's ballgown Dan made her wear in the middle of the day so she could feel like a princess one last time on Gossip Girl:
She looked like something out of a Disney movie!
4. The Handler's "coronation" outfit on The Umbrella Academy:
This screams Evil Stepmother meets Cinderella, and I'm here for it.
5. And her purple marching band–like coat dress:
Queen of overdressing.
6. AND her "first day back at the office" outfit:
Cruella de Vil, is that you?

Never mind, Chanel is definitely Cruella.

Guilty of looking AMAZING!

She should be on that runway.

An outfit to die for.

I WISH I COULD BE THIS BADASS.
12. Cheryl's hospital outfit on Riverdale:
The perfect outfit for almost burning your mother alive!
13. And her post-summer bra top, custom Serpents jacket, and heels:
If anyone knows how to make an entrance, it's Cheryl.
14. Esme's fur coat on A Series of Unfortunate Events:
Esme may have been evil, but her fashion was AMAZING!
15. And her octopus outfit:
I mean, she dressed for the occasion.

I wore this outfit for Halloween one year, and I have to say, Vanessa did it better.
20. Moira's outfit for David and Patrick's wedding on Schitt's Creek:
Would I wear this? Probably not. Am I still obsessed with it? Absolutely.
21. And the outfit and wig she wore to announce she wasn't dead:
I'm still mad that by the time she was ready, there was no one there to take photos.
22. Brooke and Rachel's thief outfits on One Tree Hill:
Did they need to dress up in thief outfits to steal the calculus test? No. Should they have? Also no. Am I glad they did for the sake of ~fashion~? Yes.

Of course they thought she was guilty!! She looked like she was attending the Met Gala!

A modern-day Belle.
