12 Bold Lesbians Who Inspire Fashion Goals

Diggy, Dope

Glory be to Rick Famuyiwa (who wrote and directed Dope) for giving us a young, butch lesbian of color whose story did not end in tragedy, and to Patrik Milani who designed Diggy’s adorable, badass wardrobe. Early on in the movie, Diggy, Malcolm and Jib are described as ’90s hip-hop geeks, which is a very apt description of Diggy’s sense of style. Milani said that her wardrobe was modeled after Aaliyah (especially some of her earlier looks) and also inspired by the Instagram accounts of high school students in Inglewood today. Diggy is a reflection of a person many of us happen to know or be but rarely see on TV: a beautiful, fashionable butch girl often mistaken for a boy.

Best outfit: yellow crop-top, light-wash jeans, black snap-back.

Sam, Scream Queens

Unlike Diggy, Sam did not manage to outrun the lesbian death trope. It was very unfortunate to watch this harmful, upsetting trope play out yet again. And also very unfortunate that Scream Queens killed off a character whose fashion game was doing what a lot of straight guys are trying to do, and doing it better. (And let’s face it: as gay ladies, part of our job description is “doing what straight guys are trying to do, and doing it better.”)

Best outfit: Blue floral short-sleeved button-down, porkpie hat. (Short-sleeved button-downs are one of those articles of clothing that look gay no matter the gender of the person wearing them.)

Nyssa al Ghul, Arrow Legends of Tomorrow

So the black-and-red leather battle armor might be a little much for the light of day. However, if you are the kind of lesbian who moonlights as a costumed vigilante, might I suggest an outfit along the lines of Nyssa’s? Mysterious. Badass. Not fucking around. Good for all your assassin needs. (Our girl also has the distinction of being the only person in the universe who actually looks good in a fedora.)

Best Outfit: the aforementioned battle armor. Seen in pretty much every episode in which Nyssa appears.
