This is officially the most fashionable villain of all time
Killing Eve season 3 is finally back on our screens, two weeks early to make the lockdown a bit ore bearable. Whilst I'm not about to reveal any spoilers, I don't think I'm ruining anything by saying that Villanelle's fashion sense is as spot on as always (it includes a killer LOEWE outfit).
But is she the most fashionable villain of all time? It seems there is some contention, according to a new survey by Flawless.org, who polled over 3,000 people.
While I would've thought that Molly Goddard dress firmly put Jodie Comer in first place, it seems like she couldn't knock one important villain from the top spot. Can you guess? Here's a hint: 'Drown them, for all I care. You're a *fool*, Anita! I have no use for fools. You're fired, you're finished, you'll never work in fashion again!'
Yep, Cruella de Vil and her fabulous monochrome wardrobe top the poll every time it seems. Other contenders include Alexis from Dynasty and Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. Scroll down for the full list...

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.
Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).
Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.
However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.
Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
