So It Begins: This trope reallly needs an image.
Silent Hunter: Took out:
- Sydney Bristow in Alias invariably wears one of these, that is when she's not in a disguise, when she will wear a very short dress with a very low neckline.
Since Sydney's mission outfit does have pockets, isn't that tight and doesn't reveal much. Her disguises on the other hand...
- Actually, Emma Peel did not originate the catsuit. Her predecessor, Cathy Gale/Honor Blackman, wore the prototype.
lom: Don't Splinter Cells wear extremely tight suits? But it seemed completely normal until I read this article :(
Major Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell, the movie, wears a full body catsuit to take advantage of its special "Thermoptic Camouflage" trick. Curve-hugging and paper-thin, yes. Skin-toned, well, somewhat. Has to be nude to use it? If she's wearing a full-body suit, she's not nude, is she? I did a double check, and unless her skin tone changes in straight lines at unusual places, I still say she's not actually nude, as such. The implications of it vs. gear strapped on over it, and the hooded short cape version, are otherwise as debatable as her wearing armour in other scenes, then discarding it before starting the actual fight.
- Can we add ridiculously high heeled shoes to this? The spy catsuit always comes with four inch stiletto heels.
- * The Bride from Kill Bill.
The Bride's jumpsuit is a near-duplicate of Bruce Lee's from Game Of Death, which was intended for a man and conspicuously not intended for stealth, and thus does not qualify. Although some of the Halloween costumes I've seen of the Bride might...
Totally played off of by the female soviet spy in The Venture Brothers!
