embodies a kick butt attitude better than black leather.
That's why women who can hold their own and fight the world's
evil forces on the big screen always wear it. Emma Peel of The
Avengers, Batgirl, Trinity of The Matrix--they all
donned it. And let's not forget the leather-clad X-women of
the summer, Storm and Jean Grey.
The look is about to show up once again in this fall's Charlie's
Angels. As Alex, one of the three crime-fighting babes,
Lucy Liu's got the look down pat while executing her black
belt karate moves like nobody's business. Getting the look
yourself may require a little down-playing though
(translation: head to toe leather just doesn't work off
screen). Go easy, and go for one piece at a time. You'll still
feel like you can kick some booty…
