Tank top. Blazer.  Jeans. Red converse. What more does a soft butch news anchor need? (Off-set, she seems to be a jeans, T-shirts, and hi-top sneakers kind of girl. Which, in many ways, is even better.)

Best outfit: That time she was on the cover of The Advocate. Wearing suspenders. It was awesome.

Jillian Holtzmann, Ghostbusters

In the new Ghostbusters movie, Jillian Holtzmann dresses in an assortment of clothes that make it look like five thrift stores and her eccentric aunt’s closet simultaneously threw up on her. She mixes fabrics, patterns and styles seemingly at random. And yet somehow, it works. (Incidentally, I haven’t wanted a pair of goggles this bad since that one episode of Skins.)

And then we have Kate McKinnon in real life. A person who can be Ellen or Portia with equal aplomb. (That sound you heard was lesbian hearts everywhere exploding into rainbows and glitter.)

Holtzmann’s Best Outfit: Quiff, headscarf, crop top, workboots. Like I said: Somehow it works. Related: The outfits Kate McKinnon wears to play Ellen Degeneres. Listen. Don’t judge me.

Lena Adams-Foster, The Fosters

Lena is a full-time Vice Principal and a full-time supermom. So it stands to reason that her wardrobe is half Grown Up Professional Lady and half Hot Mama (both literal and figurative). At work, she wears blazers, blouses, long cardigans, and slacks. Sometimes there is a pencil skirt in the mix. At home, she wears jeans, boots, keds, sweaters, and cardigans. (On an especially good day, she and her wife wake up naked but for their wedding rings.)

Best Outfit: Her wedding dress. Sherri Saum looks like an actual goddess in cream-colored lace.

Obviously, lesbian and bisexual women  are a large and diverse community, but I do think I’ve come up with a pretty solid list here of characters and people who express their creativity through fashion.
