 Emma Peelers - Term used to describe
the clothing worn by the actress Diana Riggs when she played the
karate-kicking secret agent Mrs. Emma Peel on the British adventure
THE AVENGERS/ABC/1966-69. Emma Peel dressed in tight but comfortably
fitting outfits of black leather and other assorted colored
jumpsuits which fostered lustful gazes and smiles among the show's
many fans. Her outfits came to be known as "Emma Peelers." Many were
made of stretch fabrics with a recurring motif of buckles, links and
braiding. The Press accused THE AVENGERS of "catering" to leather
freaks.
Honor Blackman who played Mrs. Catherine Gale, (the first
female in the series before Emma Peel), also had  a proclivity for
wearing leather ensembles. The Emma Peel look inspired singer Toni
Braxton to wear a white skin tight body suit in her 1996 video hit
"You're Makin' Me High.
Some critics of the drama THE
PRETENDER/NBC/TNT/1996-2000 stated that the Miss Parker character, a
cruel domineering woman who relentlessly chased an adult genius
named Jarod was an evil 90's version of Emma Peel with dark hair,
the flip and an alluring figure that wore tight micro-mini skirts
and slacks. See also - "Mrs.
