STYLE SAVANTS ENTRY #2: CATWOMAN

While she may have nine lives, she has a wardrobe that could dress more than one litter. Cat-puns aside, Selina Kyle has so many looks she needs multiple people to wear them all. Yes people, not personalities, as there were three different women in the 1960's Batman TV show, and not sure which if them was actually Selina Kyle and who was another Catwoman, and then there was Halle Berry's Patience Phillips feline form. Those were movie and television of course, and like Batman, has appeared in basically every form from live action, to animated and CGI. In the comic books, Selina Kyle is Catwoman, and although it is usually a matter of artist and storyline, she has many looks and costumes as well.
Obviously, the theme of the looks is that of a cat, but although it is mainly a wardrobe of skintight costumes, the character did begin with a giant cat head mask, as well as a dress and cape. Only thing to really stay the same has been her "cat" arsenal consisting of her whip, cat of nine tails, caltrops, etc.
With the new Batfleck movies hopefully following the "Man Of Steel" sequel/follow-up, it will be interesting to see how Catwoman makes her way into that universe. Which is almost a given, as she tends to pop-up everywhere that the Batman does. Even the young Camren Bicondova has the basics down for what a young Selina Kyle would look like at such a young age. Even her character still, although likely accidental, looks like she has cat ears with the towers behind her.

Although this isn't all of them, here are some of the many looks of one of DC Comics ultimate "Style Savants".
