00:00 Well-dressed Villains Introduction
Watching a dramatic plot unfold while enjoying the talents of the costume designers is a great way for us to spend a few hours. One consistent component of these tales is an antagonist, or “villain” for our heroes to go up against we're sure you’ve noticed it too, but a lot of these characters are rather well dressed!
01:12 The Joker (1989 - Jack Nicholson)
03:32 Hannibal Lecter (NBC - Mads Mikkelsen)
06:36 Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi)
09:53 Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale)
12:23 Red Grant (From Russia With Love)
So, these are our list of some of our favorite evil doers and their unique take on clothes and style. Of course, there are many other examples that we could mention, perhaps in a future installment–Batman’s rogue’s gallery alone is filled with stylish villains!

Penguin is by far the best dressed villian of all time. Top hats, tailored 3 peice suits, minocular etc. How he never made the list is crazy. Black mask, two face, riddler, kingpin, scar face all deserved honourable mentions.
-
Let's be real, cloaks are the single best pieces of menswear ever created. I wear mines as a ''raincoat'' and it never fails to attract all the attention and compliments (and occasional vampire comments, such is the way of the cloak).
-
This Lecter guy seems legit. I bet he would make a great doctor.
-
Immediately recognise a fine Hannibal Lecter costume on Preston, it actually suits him rather well! I must admit, I've always had a bit of a fascination with his bold Prince of Wales suits and paisley ties :)
-
Inconceivable as it may seem Bela Lugosi was my babysitter. I was born in LA and he was our next door neighbor. Imagine how strange the conversation went when while watching Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein, my Dad says “Hey there’s your Babysitter!”
-
Dracula will always be a classic! I also agree with Joker. What about The Riddler? He's seen briefly at the end of the video but the question marks and Green suits are definitely stylish. He even wore purple trousers in some variations which is pretty bold. Hope you all enjoy your weekend.
-
Speaking of evening cloaks -- lest we forget Darth Vader's flowing robes. They ooze confidence, power, and evil.
-
Bella Lugosi was buried in his vampire costume. Wonderful
-
Let’s not forget about the Phantom of the Opera! His Red Death suit was luxurious! Come to think of it, it’s be cool to see a video just about Phantom clothing in general! Also Downton Abbey!
-
This video's script makes me feel like I am drowning in puns, and I LOVE IT
-
From the evening wear from the Pinguin to the split-vertically suits of Two-face, Batman's villains are always dressed to impress, but none can outshine the clown Prince of crime
-
I think it was already mentioned in some previous GG video that Auric Goldfinger was very well-dressed. Also, the Penguin is wearing white tie a lot.
-
Mycroft in Sherlock 2014!
-
@12:52 it is interesting that the actor who played Red Grant, Robert Shaw, went on to play Captain Quint, who was obsessed with killing the Shark in Jaws.
-
I would have loved to see Robert Shaw as Doyle Lonnegan from “the Sting”
-
Yaphet Koto's villain in Live and Let die rocked a few looks given he had a secret identity.
-
God, I love this dandy-fancyman channel. I'm off to Thailand, and will be dressing as such. Kisses x
-
Loved it Preston, and you look fantastic! Are the wider, more bold ties of the 70's coming back into vogue? Thanks again! Lisa
-
Could you guys make a Guide about cloaks, please?
-
THis was really fun. I've always thought villains dress so well lol
