Back to Vicki. When we first see Vale in Burtons 1989 Batman, shes poised lounging in an executive chair, black pantyhose, black pumps, black glasses, red lips. Shes a high-powered photographer working alongside some of Gotham Citys most prominent press people, and her simplistic yet sophisticated wardrobe reflects her it girl status.
She sticks to really simple silhouettes, solid colors, with origami folds, but has been known to wear overly-trendy, of the era ball gowns reminiscent of Princess Dianas wedding dress by David and Elizabeth Emanuel.
Theres a certain high fashion look to Vale, as she combines berets with silk trench-coats. But its this delicate balance between feminine and tomboy thats achieved through her body-conscious ensembles, unkempt hair, and ready-for-anything attitude. She is, after all, a sharp and intuitive journalist, snapping photographs with her 80s-era camera and flash, stowing roles of film in her bra for safe-keeping.
