A vamp. An assassin. And a muse, too.

9. Noomi Rapace in THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

Punk and sexy, black and brooding. An iconic character with an iconic look.

8. Pam Grier

You pick the movie and I will show you a lady who can wear pretty much anything and demand attention.

7. Gena Rowlands in GLORIA

In poly blouses and pantsuits, Rowlands kicked ass and made the '70s almost look good.

6. Rosalind Russell in AUNTIE MAME

She may not have been a classic movie hero, but Russell's Auntie Mame was the campiest and most overdressed character ever to make the silver screen.

5. Judy Garland in THE WIZARD OF OZ

She didn't need guns and bombs to save the day. Just a smart gingham dress and a perfect pair of ruby-red slippers.

4. Carrie Fisher in STAR WARS

Wearing a white cloak and buns made of braids on the sides of her head, Fisher was a fashion force.

3. Jane Fonda in BARBARELLA

The bikinis and the wigs were just too much. Fonda's camp hero embodied everything right, and wrong, about 1960s fashion.

2. Milla Jovovich in THE FIFTH ELEMENT

With fire-orange hair and Gaultier costumes, Jovovich saved Bruce Willis's life. She also was the star of the smartest and best-looking action flick ever made.

1. Sigourney Weaver in ALIEN

The original badass. In tank top and tight pants, Weaver brought fashion-model looks, and height, to the action-movie world.
