Films capture the essence of a culture. They are little time capsules that can let us relive certain ancient periods or they can make us relate to modern day adventures. Regardless of all the great and epic stories that have been told through the magic of the silver screen, they're also great fashion inspiration. Every week I'll post a breakdown of a character's style and how you can achieve it yourself.

The Dark Knight Rises
Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated third installment of his batman series hit the theatres a couple of months ago so I think that almost everyone knows already what the movie's about. Just to be sure I'll tell you the storyline in short without major spoilers.
The movie begins with Bruce Wayne trying to beat Howard Hughes on the terrain of being an eccentric recluse. Selina Kyle grabs his attention when she steals a pearl necklace from his safe in such a swift catlike manner that he is impressed. Eventually Batman rises when Bane attacks Gotham.
That's not the whole storyline off course, but enough to keep you guessing if you're going to watch it for the first time. Which you should! This is not a batmanmovie, but a Christopher Nolan film with Batman in it.
Selina Kyle
Her alter-ego is Catwoman (not much of a spoiler) and though she steals, she's not really one of the bad guys. The best word to define her personality is: ambigue. She was brought up in tough circumstances (try being poor and alone in Gotham City, not so much fun), so she learned from a young age to only do what's best for her. That combined with her agility and intelligence is a recipe for becoming a villain. On the other hand her strong feelings towards doing what's right keep her from becoming another ego centric criminal. It doesn't matter if you like her criminal behaviour, because her style is surely something you'll want to steal yourself.

Selina Kyle's every day attire looks every bit as mysterious as she is.
If you want to channel that elegant and sexy look, start by pairing a black pencil skirt with a peplum blazer. Try wearing a bustier top underneath for a sexy detail. Grab a wide brimmed hat for an anonymous feeling and classic black bag. Pearl earrings complement the formal side of this look, while studded short leather gloves fit in with the whole 'edgy details' theme she has going on here. Dark brownish red lips and simple black pumps is all you need to complete this look.

I can imagine that most of you wouldn't want to wear the skintight suit that Catwoman wears, but the outfit that I created is a lot more wearable with a wink to the typical catburglar outfit.
The black leather paneled skinny and a asymmetrical leather biker jacket combo gives you a bad girl aura. Combine that with spiked ankle booties and a flirty red lip, et voila, the wearable Catwoman outfit is completed!
