Characters and actresses in catsuits: yes, please
Like you do when you're not sure how to fill a Kink Bingo square in a way that's true to a character or explores something about yourself, I was talking over ideas for leather/latex/rubber with deelaundry, who suggested a quick-n-dirty (so to speak) picspam. Still wasn't convinced, but in poking around Google Images it became clear in that gestalt sort of way that I totally have a thing for lithe young ladies in catsuits. Kate Beckinsale in Underworld, Olivia Wilde in Tron, Uma Thurman as Emma Peel, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, Rihanna in everything-hoo, yes.
And so: Let us collect examples all in one place, shall we?
Kate Beckinsale as Seline in Underworld
Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, and Famke Janssen in X-Men
You could also argue that Mystique counts since Rebecca Romijn is in a blue nude catsuit, although it's not quite the same look as the rest we're discussing. I tend to like catsuits that are less explicitly anatomical and more minimizing/streamlined in the chestal area.
Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in Batman
Scarlett Johannson as Black Widow in The Avengers
Diana Rigg and Uma Thurman as Emma Peel in The (other) Avengers
Milla Jovovich as Alice in Resident Evil & sequels. Throw some buckles and other futuristic elements on a catsuit, and you've won my heart all over again.
Lacey Chabert as Penny Robinson in the Lost in Space movie. Heather Graham, too, but I couldn't find any good pictures.
Nana Visitor as Mirror-Universe Intendant Kira in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Latex isn't as much my thing as leather and rubber, although Karen Gillan (Amy Pond from Doctor Who) almost convinces me.
But then Jenna-Louise Coleman (Clara Oswin from Doctor Who) appears in these, and I take it back about the not liking latex thing. Whooooo, yes.
Jessica Alba in Spy Kids
Maggie Cheung in the Irma Vep remake
Eliza Dushku in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
If I'd known there were catsuits in GI Joe, maybe I would have watched it earlier. …But probably not.
Carrie-Ann Moss as Trinity in The Matrix
Sharon Stone. Mmmm.
Malin Akerman as Laurie/Silk Spectre II in The Watchmen
Rachel Weiss. Again, not quite my favorite silhouette, but still lovely.
Rihanna's leather, metal, bandage-y, bondage-y, and other various kinky outfits merit their own post. For now, some catsuits:
Beyoncé
I'm not good at identifying clothing materials, so am not sure if this one counts as leather/latex/rubber, but it's in the spirit, anyway. Charlize Theron in Aeon Flux:
Do you remember this scene from Star Trek: Into Darkness? I do not, whoops. Zoe Saldana as Uhura.
Apparently Natalie Morales as Wendy Watson in The Middleman once wore a catsuit.
We close with my absolute favorite: Olivia Wilde in Tron: Legacy. I have no words, only keyboard smash.
