STYLE is back on our screens thanks to our favourite assassin.
Killing Eve series three has debuted on BBC iPlayer, and returns to BBC1 on Sunday.
And yet again, Villanelle, played by Jodie Comer, is dressed to kill.
We have previously seen her in designer clothes to die for, including gear by Alexander McQueen and Chloe – and THAT bubblegum pink Molly Goddard frock.
The latest series has had more lacklustre reviews and while Villanelle’s wardrobe is a little less eccentric, that just makes her gear more wearable for us mere mortals.
With plenty of designer dupes out there from high street favourites, you can emulate the stylish star without the huge price tags.
CLEMMIE FIELDSEND reveals how to get the killer look for less.
Brave Bralet
PAIR a bralet with a girly gown. Villanelle puts on a sweet display with this cream organza dress from London label Simone Rocha, costing £1,339.
Its sheer underlay with detailed sleeves represents a huge trend this season – and is a similar feel to the iconic pink Molly Goddard frock she wore in series one.
The moulded cups will complement smaller busts, too.
You need to get the pieces separately if you fancy giving this look a try.
- Sheer cream dress, £35, ;
- Bralet, £9.50,
Flower Power
PACK a punch in bold florals. This ultra-flattering frock by The Vampire’s Wife complements figures with its cinched-in waist, long sleeves and midi length – but will cost you a cool £1,500.
The pricey brand was launched by Susie Cave, wife of rocker Nick Cave, and has achieved cult status among the fashion crowd – and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Villanelle pairs her ladylike look with a simple straw bag – £331, from Dragon Diffusion – that is the perfect summer accessory.
- Blue floral dress, £120, ;
- Straw bag, £17.50,
70's Housewife
CHANNEL fashion’s most on-trend era: Geometric prints such as this £595 top from Paco Rabanne are a hit this season – and perfect for streamlining arms.
Layer yours like Villanelle beneath a floral dress and clash prints in a way that is sure to make you stand out.
Her floral frock will set you back £989 from Sacai but look to high street stores for much cheaper versions.
- Printed shirt, £29.99, ;
- Printed dress, £65,
All-in-one Jumpsuit
LOOKING more like a superhero than a villain, Villanelle rocks a leather catsuit from edgy Rick Owens, costing a whopping £1,942.
This daring outfit may be too much for some, but the red-hot look is great for enhancing your bum and showing off your waist.
And it is a seriously sexy option for date night.
- Jumpsuit, £20,
Be a Bardot Babe
THIS spring, an-off-the-shoulder top – like this striped one – will elongate figures while flashing some skin.
It is a flirty look made famous by Sixties actress Brigitte Bardot – and even more necessary right now thanks to all those video calls showing only your top half.
Revealing a little shoulder will make you feel casually sexy.
- Striped top, £9,

Suited 'N' Booted
TRY a trendy tux. Villanelle opts for a longline jacket for a more streamlined, feminine look that still oozes power.
Paired with a sheer black top with a touch of lace showing, she creates a sexy but deadly outfit.
A tighter top makes for a cleaner silhouette tucked into the trousers. It’s a look that screams: “I mean business!”
- Black blazer, £19, ;
- Sheer body, £12.99, ;
- Black trousers, £19.99,
