I was so excited to see the portrayal of Harley Quinn by rising star Margot Robbie (of The Wolf of Wall Street fame) in the new trailer for Suicide Squad and I was not disappointed. The stunning Ms. Robbie looks an absolute psychotic peach in her revamped Harley Quinn fashion, sporting mad cool pieces such as her baseball tee with slogan, "Daddy's Lil' Monster" emblazoned on the front and her "Puddin'" choker. If I had to be a psychopath, I'd definitely pick Ms. Quinn as my go to bad gal idol.
In fact, each member of the entire Suicide Squad gang look epic in their own right, especially one of the other female protagonists (or possibly antagonists) Enchantress played by Cara Delevingne and of course, Jared Leto's Joker. I could not take my eyes off of Margot Robbie's Harley as she performed acrobatic exercises in her prison cell while a haunting soprano sang, "I started a joke, which started the whole world crying..." in a cappella. It's the stuff nightmares are made of — the kind of nightmares that when you wake up, you're relieved, but the curious masochist in you wants to find out what was going to happen next.
Some argue that Robbie's portrayal is "Un-Harley-Quinnish," but I think she looks absolutely incredible and there are always going to be conflicts in opinion on creative decisions. For instance, not everyone will agree upon who their favorite Joker is — although I'm sure Leto's Joker will be just insane.
So to honor her big screen debut, here are some riotous Harley Quinn inspired fashion pieces to keep you going until the movie is released in about a year's time; because I know I can't wait that long!
