Nothing can be more mysterious and sexy as catwoman. Among the many villains of Batman, she emerged on top of everyone else that producers felt she was worthy of a spin-off. What's more, her complex character makes it easy for fans to relate to, as she can be both villainess and heroine at the same time. This explains why the catwoman costume is among the most popular Halloween costumes for women.



Perhaps most of us have seen the movie version played by Halle Berry. And most of us were amazed (and confused?) at how she managed to kick, jump and run with those tight leather pants and stilettos. The costume was able to complement her sexy frame as she showed how agile and supple she was. Luckily for us, there are no butts to kick or enemies to whip.

The basic catwoman look consists of a black skin-tight long-sleeved jumpsuit made of faux leather or spandex. Any woman would look posh and sleek in this black leather attire. To look more seductive and busty, wear a leather bra or halter style top. This top may be of an exaggerated design, and may even have some metal embellishments in it. You may choose plain tight leather pants or those with some parts torn to make it more "realistic."

If you are not at ease with stilettos, you can wear black platform shoes or black heels. After a while, walking around the neighborhood in stilettos while trick or treating may be really painful for your feet. For the head, wear a tight black mask that extends upward to form cat ears. Enhance the look further by applying the right make up, most especially in the eyes and lips. You can also wear colored lenses that give the cat-eye effect.

If you think that the entire costume is over the top, you can opt to use just the upper part of the costume. Tight skinny jeans will also look good with the leather bra. Compared to leather pants, a pair of jeans allows you to move better. In addition to the black top, you can create your own black mask or cat ears and a tail made of felt. Complete the look by wearing black gloves and claws. Lastly, and more importantly, wear the costume with the right attitude. The sexiness that she projects come from her self-confidence, so be confident as you carry the whip around.

Find a catwoman costume to suit you. There are many costumes available in the internet. The downside of purchasing online is you are not able to fit the costume until you've purchased it already. This would pose a potential problem, as we do not want to get costumes that are too tight or too loose. Choose sites that allow returns or offer guarantees so you can have your purchases changed accordingly.

Before deciding to play that part, make sure that you are up for it. As they say, you should not only look the part, you should also feel like it. If you think that you cannot pull it off, then you might as well not consider wearing it. But if you think you can do it, then consider it for the next Halloween or costume party. Make heads turn. Be the envy of your friends. Be purr-fect with the catwoman costume.
