Alexis Colby, Brenda Walsh, Serena van der Woodsen, Carrie Bradshaw … every decade has its TV characters that became fashion icons while defining trends for their generation.

Here’s a list of some of our current favourites.

Villanelle (Jodie Comer) Killing Eve

Sandra Oh may have taken home an Emmy award for her role on Killing Eve last year, but when it comes to fashion her co-star is the clear winner. Villanelle may be twisted but her off-kilter style proves that she can have fun and let loose (and that assassins get paid very well).

Her fashion choices, much like her character, are playful yet sinister, dark yet sweet – case in point her now memorable bubblegum pink Molly Goddard tulle creation which she paired with chunky black Balenciaga boots. Since then she has mixed cool designers such as J.W. Anderson, Rosie Assoulin, Jason Wu and Dries Van Noten with girlie favourites like Miu Miu and Chloé. She keeps us guessing, which is why we love her.
