"1. Amanda Woodward, Melrose Place Amanda was the ultimate '90s TV power bitch \u2014 as sly, ruthless, and cruel as her skirts were short. If she wanted something, she took it. Usually while wearing high heels and a crop top. Personally, I'll never understand why someone as beautiful, intelligent, and driven as Amanda Woodward would waste her time messing around with a bunch of whiny renters, but I guess that's the thing about true evil; it defies all logic. (Billy sure was cute, though, right?)\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\n2. Karen Walker, Will and Grace Karen wasn't a villain per se, but she certainly had an evil streak. I mean, she was a racist, pill-popping, narcissistic, alcoholic sociopath who belittled her friends and rode her maid around her mansion like a horse. She also had an unlimited clothing budget, a closet larger than most New York City apartments, and a shoe collection that would make Carrie Bradshaw chew her own feet off. In other words, she was perfect.  3. Catherine Tramell, Basic Instinct Having never actually seen Basic Instinct, I'm not entirely sure why Sharon Stone's character is a villain. But, based on that infamous chair scene, which I've also never watched, but feel I know on, like, a cultural level, I'm pretty sure the movie centers around her time in mall jail, being interrogated by mall security. See, she keeps buying expensive designer clothes, wearing them without underwear, and then returning them soiled and demanding a full refund. Now mall security has caught on and they are trying to get her to confess but she knows they don't have any real power so she's messing with them. Or something. Whatever. She looks fabulous and that's what really matters.4. Katherine Parker, Working Girl The problem with Katherine Parker was that her wardrobe was too good. Tess (Melanie Griffith) was able to steal her clothes and climb to the top of the corporate ladder with nothing more than a bathroom-sink haircut and one measly business idea (about radio!). If Katherine hadn't been such a fiercely stylish woman, that shit never would have happened. \n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n 5. Kathryn Merteuil, Cruel Intentions It's impossible to know which came first, Kathryn's impeccable moneyed '90s stylishness or her taboo-laced evil. That's like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg, and, really, who cares when you have a cross necklace full of cocaine. \n\n6. Sophie-Anne Leclerq, True Blood Sophie-Anne wasn't the most powerful villain on True Blood, or the most evil, but she was by far the most decadent. How else would you describe someone who drinks blood while wearing all white? One stray drop and her outfit would have been ruined. No wonder she was in debt.7. Heather Chandler, Heathers Sure, Heather Chandler was rich and beautiful and popular, but the real source of her evil power was that red scrunchie. Admit it, you always sort of thought scrunchies were evil, didn't you?\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n8. Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl What Heather Chandler did for the scrunchie, Blair Waldorf did for the headband. The actress who played Blair, Leighton Meester, used to complain that the headbands that were so integral to her character's style were extremely uncomfortable and often gave her headaches, no doubt a side-effect of their evil power.9. Joan Crawford, Mommie Dearest For some people, style comes naturally. For Joan Crawford, it is carefully and painstakingly constructed, and requires constant and unwavering vigilance to maintain. That means crisply ironed shirts, a steady hand with the eyebrow pencil, and absolutely no wire hangers, evaaaaaaaah!\n\n10. Elle Driver, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 The white coat Elle wore to murder Beatrix Kiddo in the hospital was Moschino and the black suit she wore in the trailer scene was Dior. She might not have been much of a fighter, but she sure could dress and always with a coordinating eye patch.11. Catwoman, Batman Returns There have been many Catwomans (Catwomen?) over the years, but none more stylish than Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992's Batman Returns, who looked just as deadly in an evening gown as she did in her iconic black vinyl cat suit.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n12. Maleficent, Sleeping Beauty Who cares about Sleeping Beauty? Sleeping Boring is more like it. Between Maleficent's headpiece, her cape, and those fabulous cheekbones, evil has rarely looked more appealing. Whether animated or live-action, Maleficent's style is pure evil fashion perfection.13. Marquis de Merteuil, Dangerous Liaisons  As awesome as Kathryn Merteuil is in Cruel Intentions, she ain't got nothing on the original Merteuil, played by Glenn Close in 1988's Dangerous Liasons, on which Cruel Intentions is based. In her 18th century French finery, the Marquis was as beautiful as she was cruel \u2014 spitefulness in a corset.\n\n14. Alexis Colby, Dynasty As with Basic Instinct, I've never actually seen Dynasty, but as a human being who was alive in the '80s (albeit only at the tail end of them), I do have a certain general knowledge of Dynasty as a very fashionable show with Alexis Colby serving as the bright, shining jewel of bitchiness at its center. I assume she was evil because, well, based on the rest of this list, she was too glamorous not to be. Her love of dramatic hats alone is enough to make me believe her guilty of war crimes.15. Cruella De Vil, 101 Dalmations Cruella might have been an evil, fur-hungry, puppy-murdering monster, but, honestly, Roger, Anita, and Nanny weren't much better; with 103 dogs in total, they were effectively animal hoarders. Cruella's only real crime was loving fashion too much and can that ever really be a crime?\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nOK. I know what you're thinking: \"Where the hell is Miranda Priestly?\" But you know what? I refuse. She didn't have style. She had belts \u2014 big, gaudy, disgusting belts.  Belts and hideous, dumpster-fur coats. Ugly. All of it. No! Not on my list!Follow Charles on Twitter and Instagram."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
