7. The Baroque Vampire Countess
Forget the modern, minimalist vampire; instead, return to the opulent, bloody roots of the Baroque era. The Baroque Vampire Countess is a display of absolute luxury, wealth, and terror. This look demands a heavy, structured gown made of deep crimson brocade and black damask, complete with a towering lace collar, panniers, and cascading bell sleeves. Accessorize with heavy, ornate gold jewelry set with blood-red rubies, and carry an antique, gold-plated chalice filled with a dark red beverage. Your makeup should be pale, contrasted with intense, smoky eyes and a deep, stained lip with a subtle trickle of faux blood at the corner of your mouth. A towering, powdered white wig styled in the elaborate fashion of the 18th century adds an unforgettable touch of historical grandeur.
