Our Bad Girl Inspiration series continues with a look at the #1 Chanel in Scream Queens, Chanel Oberlin. Scream Queens was short lived TV hit, but Emma Roberts’ portrayal of Chanel made her one of the most memorable characters in recent TV history.
Chanel is iconic because of her over the top girly wardrobe. She is the mean, yet sophisticated, queen of Kappa Kappa Tau. Chanel is the embodiment of all the classic movie bad girls, including Regina George (Mean Girls) and Heather Chandler (Heathers). She is the head of the Chanels and one of the primary targets of the Red Devil.
And, again, she has a killer wardrobe. Let’s talk about it.
