Monroe has also leaned into the sexuality. At the Longlegs premiere, she hit the red carpet in a black leather bra with a matching low-waisted column skirt from Courrèges. (“I’ve never worn less, ever,” she told Vogue in an interview.) While Monroe’s character, FBI Agent Lee Harker, is a bit preoccupied by chasing a serial killer to focus on her style, the actor continued to play with the genre’s sartorial stereotypes. Days later, she continued her sexy streak in a strapless Roberto Cavalli bodysuit, paired with sheer tights and pointy-toe heels—styled by Chloe and Chenelle Degadillo.

Mia Goth has been perhaps the biggest proponent of scream queen fashion as of late. In the lead up to MaXXXine, the final film in the X trilogy, the actor leaned into her character, Maxine Minx, a porn star trying to make it big in Hollywood, by sticking to the style codes of leather, bodycon, and corsetry. For the Los Angeles premiere, she turned to Ludovic de Saint Sernin in a velvet dress with a leather bustier top. Later in the week, she sported a black leather corseted Versace dress.

As Sydney Sweeney, Maika Monroe, and Mia Goth have modeled, the contemporary scream queen wardrobe has a sense of humor—alluding to the tropes of the past—while still keeping it sexy. Whether you’re more partial to the pure white lace or the vampy black leather, let this be your sign to incorporate final girl fashion into your own wardrobe.
