Sexy Vampire Costumes In Film: Underworld to True Blood


There is a long history of sexy vampires dating back to the French vampire films of the 1960’s. The original films like Vampire Lovers staring Ingrid Pitt featured gothic dress, Victorian outfits. These were very similar to the outfits that you might see in a regular Hollywood movie. They were flowing dresses, though there were still more revealing than your normal Warner Brothers vampires (think the brides of Dracula, but more raunchy.)

You will see a similar sexy vampire costume in Francis Ford’s Dracula. Monica Bellucci wears an outfit that is based upon the old Hollywood style but is cut in a more modern way. In fact anytime you are going to see the brides of Dracula they are going to be portrayed in this manner. It’s only when you start to see a revising of the look and the content of the film that you will see something that starts to be more daring.

A movie like Underworld is a perfect example of the changing look of the vampire. Kate Beckinsale doesn’t wear long flowing dresses. She wears  a tight rubber suit that looks more kink and fetish than traditional vampire. But it works so well. She has it look like a steampunk gothic fetish club outfit, and it rocks. In the sequels it looks more sleak and less steampunk, but the overall design is still there.

If you want to do a sexy vampire costume that is traditional, then you will want to go with an old fashioned gown style. You can do this yourself either by using a dress that you already own and adding things like vampire teeth and pale makeup. Or you can get a dress from Amazon. They have a few different styles.

Vampire Costume

The other type of sexy vampire costume is going to be something that you see in movies like Underworld. It is a gothic inspired, steampunk look. It also can be overtly fetish inspired. A catsuit  paired with makeup and fake vampire teeth can be very effective.

Here are some cool looks inspired by the classic vampire.






This is a hooded look that has a spooky feel and is still sexy. If you want something that is classic and has a very Hammer Studies, Gothic vibe, then this is something you will like. You can add dark red lipstick, and fangs, and have an awesome outfit.












This is a bit more risque. It is shorter and it works well if you are like the dark red and black look. You can add your own personal touch like fishnet or other crazy leggins and get really high heels. It wouild make a super sexy outfit.















 I like this one because it has a lot of sass. Remember to check out what accessories you need to get. Some things like the hat are sold separately.

You might want to go as a Parisian vampire. One that might be seen hanging around the Moulin Rouge.















 A very sexy vixen. This outfit has lots of good reviews. Make sure to read what you are getting. Some things shown don't come in the basic costume, they are sold as exasperates. Alot of the time you don't have to get the separates, but in this case most of the ladies who got it said that it is totally worth it to get all of those separates.  

I like this because it looks like a vampire ballerina. Really very cool!












Another way to take it is to wear a gothic or steampunk type corset and use that over a white or black dress shirt. You can wear the vampire teeth and then you have a complete costume. Black jeans, slacks, or a skirt would work really well.


 

You can also get fake vampire fang bite marks to add to your neck. There are a bunch that are available online. If you shade around them they will look really cool.
