All The Latex In Watchmen

Even though Malin Akerman played a character called Silk Spectre in Watchmen, she instead wore a bright black-and-yellow latex leotard. It does not like it would be comfortable to walk in that thing, much less fight in it. The actress felt the same way. In 2009, she told MTV, “The costumes were definitely a big challenge.” She added, “[My costume is] definitely not the most comfortable thing to wear for 18 hours straight. It’s very constricting, and then you add heels, the corset and a blonde wig to that. When they say, ‘Get up and fight,’ you go, ‘Excuse me, in this outfit?’ It also takes on the temperature of whatever the room is. If it’s really hot, you’re boiling. If it’s really cold, you’re freezing.”

The Catsuit In Catwoman

You will not find a lot of praise for Catwoman nor the catsuit that Halle Berry wore in it. For one, IGN wrote, “The costume alone cannot make a bad movie, though this one sure gives it the old college try.” It seems like Reno News & Review agreed since it said that the Hollywood star should “burn that damn costume for all to see.” Berry did not express her dislike for it in so many words, but she was not a fan of the flick either. In 2005, she went to the Razzies to claim the Worst Actress award. She said, “First of all, I want to thank Warner Bros. Thank you for putting me in a piece of s**t, god-awful movie!”
