Daisy Duck
Distinction in Lashes
This Disney darling clearly has her beauty priorities set. The focus? Bat-me, love-me lashes! Okay, she might be sneaking on some falsies or extensions, but we’re still jealous of her fluttery length nonetheless.

Jem
Greatest Special Effects
We loved watching this ’80s glam-rock singer perform with her band, The Holograms. The fearless songstress rocked pink in all shapes, textures, and shades and was never afraid to experiment with eye-catching designs.

Rogue
Locks of Laurels
While her signature white/gray streaks came from a genetic mutation, we can’t deny that it gives X-Men superhero Rogue a cool edge! Her statement two-tone locks are shiny and sleek.

Catwoman
Eye Liner Accolade
How could we forget our dearest feline femme fatale? Catwoman is the original sexy comic-book icon. With her tight leather bodysuit and her finely flicked eye liner, she helped conceive the modern notion of the cat’s eye.
