7 Sexy Sci-Fi Girl Costumes! [Pictures at Link]
Girls, looking for a costume that will make you look hot while cementing your SF geek cred?
Forget Iron Man's sidekick, Pepper Potts, or the latest version of Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight or The Mummy's Evelyn O'Connell. All boring.
Try these seven cool costumes--some classic, some new.
Female Darth Vader: There are two basic options here. Get a black Darth helmet and a black catsuit for the sexy look, or get a black Darth helmet and some pink spray paint for a more ironic touch. Neither one is too hard, but we personally like the (ahem) sexy version.
Femtrooper: If George Lucas had a few sexy femtroopers in Episodes I-III, maybe they would not have sucked so badly. The bad news is that this costume can be kind of hard to pull together, but the good news is there are amazing directions online for making stormtrooper outfits.
Princess Leia, Slave Girl: Leia's slave girl costume never goes out of vogue because, well, it's Leia in a slave-girl costume! What's not to like? And this one isn't too hard to make. If you have a brown or gold bikini, a chain and something you can use as a loin cloth, your most of the way there already. Add some hair styling and a few gold bangles, and you're ready for a night out with the Hutts.
Leeloo: Second only to the slave version for sexiness and everlasting appeal is the Leeloo outfit from The Fifth Element. This one is the easiest to make ... some form of not-too-sticky white tape and an orange wig are all you need, along with maybe a year at the gym in advance of when you're going to "wear" this "costume."
Samus Aran: If you want to really turn heads and score points with the video-game crowd, then Samus Aran is the way to go. This beautiful bounty hunter one-ups even the beloved Boba Fett in terms of having a bad-ass costume. We admit we're a little sketchy on the details of how to make this one. Um, maybe start with some cardboard or something?
Starbuck: [TNS]
Alien Queen, disco version: Take the alien queen from Aliens and add in a silver catsuit and some stiletto heels, and we're not sure what exactly you end up with, but we really really like it! The only part that baffles us is how she made the tail. Hm, seems like further investigation is required, and probably fun too.
