A Catwoman costume works because the silhouette is so strong - a sleek black catsuit, a whip, and cat ears. Get those right and you're unmistakably Catwoman. A Catwoman costume is built on three things: a black catsuit or bodysuit, a belt or harness, cat ears or a cat-themed mask, and optionally a whip. Below are the pieces that make up a proper Catwoman look, split by what job each item does.
How to get the look: start with a black catsuit or a black long-sleeved top paired with black leggings, add cat ears or a mask, then layer in a belt and jewellery. A whip is optional - it's iconic but not essential.
