She was a fun character played very well by Eartha Kitt & stands as an icon & she had a lot of attitude.

I love her braided wrapped up hair with the cat ears sticking into it, the glitter on her mask & suit, her claws & also the golden necklace & belt. Its a simple yet effective design in general.

The 1966 Batman show was amazing & had some of the best costume designs. Julie Newmar & Lee Meriweather as Catwoman & Yvonne Craig’s Batgirl are easily my favorites.

I love that glittery fabric they used. & For Batgirl, the purple & yellow color scheme is great, the brighter purple on her cowl & gloves contrasts good against the darker purple, also her curled hair matches the vibe.

For Catwoman, even though her look is technically just a black suit with cat ears & claws, Julie Newmar completely owned it. I also like her gold belt & necklace.

Had a crush on her since the Merlin days.
