Vampira is the titular host of the 1950s American variety show called The Vampira Show. She is the original gothic queen of the screen.
Vampira was inspired by the early comic strips made by Charles Addams, but she was also the inspiration for how Morticia Addams looks on-screen. Vampira’s show lasted from 1954 to 1955 only, but her legacy still lives on today.
Vampira looks like a vampire queen, there’s no doubt about that. Her pasty white skin and dark colored lips make her look seductively sinister.
She wears a skin tight black dress with a plunging neckline and billowing bat-like sleeves. She also wears a nice black waist belt. Here’s everything you need to look like Vampira.
