Question: Are you a fan of women who kick ass? Follow-up: Are you a fan of women who kick ass and do it in heels? No, we're not talking about Hillary Clinton (at least this time) — we're talking about none other than the pipe-wielding, cat-scratching Catwoman. And because it's Halloween and Saint Laurent catsuits never go out of style (if you've got $3,490 lying around, try this sequin version), go ahead and add her to your list of costume options.
Bodysuits can be intimidating, especially latex or ultra-body-con ones (if that's the kind of look you're going for), so that's why we've got a plethora of options to channel your inner superhero come October 31. But no matter how it comes together, make like Ariana Grande and take this Halloween as an actual excuse to wear some cat ears. Because — meow — who doesn't love cat ears?
Catwoman's favorite weapon-turned-accessory, a whip.
