buffy the vampire slayer, sarah michelle gellar, buffyGoth never looked quite as good as it did on Sarah Michelle Gellar as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." She kicked some serious butt with some serious style. Buffy rocked black and leather like nobody's business, and the sultry bad-girl look she sported on the show landed her one of the hottest vampires on the small screen (we love you, Angel).

We wanted some tips on how to re-create Buffy's look, and our fashion expert Brian answered the call.

Brian Says: Buffy was edgy without being too over the top; sexy without showing too much skin -- and that's the reason she was always so stylin'. She straddled the line between kick-ass vampire slayer and regular teenager by mixing textures and styles to create a unique, am-I-dangerous-or-not look.




A preppy Oxford shirt like this one from Old Navy can be naughty or nice depending on what you pair it with -- and how many button holes you leave open.

Sleek leather pants will never go out of style. And forget the rule about not wearing black with brown. This pair by Ralph Lauren will work perfectly with the black shirt above.

A silver cross may keep the blood-suckers away but this classically understated version by Lois Hill is sure to keep the compliments coming.

A pair of grometted booties like these from L.A.M.B. are the perfect mix of sexy and don't-mess-with-me.
