The Avengers (s4 e21, "A Touch of Brimstone") / Diana Rigg as Mrs. Emma Peel as the "Queen of Sin"
Fittingly for Leap Day, this costume is the odd one out in this month's group: it's the only one from the 1960s and also the only one from television rather than a movie. The costume, supposedly designed by Diana Rigg herself, was considered a bit too spicy for American TV--well, that plus the situation she finds herself in, which is infiltrating a club of thinly disguised S&M enthusiasts.
Queen of Sin
I want a goddamn moratorium on that Queen of Sin outfit. Yes, Diana Rigg designed it herself, which at least gave her agency, but in context it is a woman being forced into a skimpy costume to perform as a dominatrix for a bunch of salivating men who then threaten her with gang rape.
It’s...not...sexy.
Welp I did it :3
All hail Scha Scha 😩

"Mrs. Peel We're Needed" is one of the most famous lines in television history and Emma Peel has become one of the sexiest, erotic, and deadliest female spies on television. But most of all Emma Peel is The Queens of Sin the deadliest femme fatale of all. http://tomatovisiontv.wix.com/tomatovision2#!brit-tv/c20n9
A Touch of Brimstone is the twenty-first episode of the fourth series of the 1960s cult British spy-fi television series The Avengers, starring Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg. It originally aired on ABC on 18 February 1966. The episode was directed by James Hill (known for A Study in Terror and Born Free) and written by Brian Clemens.
The episode is widely known for Diana Rigg's risqué "Queen of Sin" costume (which she designed herself), and was the most watched episode of The Avengers on its original showing.
This episode was Chris Claremont's inspiration for the Hellfire Club in Marvel Comics' "X-Men", and in particular the story arc in Uncanny X-Men #132-134. Hellfire Club member Jason Wyngarde's name and likeness is based on Peter Wyngarde (who was later known for the role of Jason King).
