God bless Tumblr for granting me the one thing I didn't know I needed: evening dresses based on Marvel Avengers and villains. While Disney might have the market on wedding dresses, these kickass Marvel gowns are the product of tumblr artist unidentifiedspoon.
These fall into one of my favorite type of fanart, which is where they call to mind the characters, but still have a lot of style. Above is Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man.
While I'm not sure that the puritanical Steve Rogers would be caught in something with such a daring neckline, this Captain America look still has the same American spirit as its namesake, while bringing a bit of the evening gown elegance.
This Thor dress is a little too on the nose for me, but if you were going to an evening event with your LARPing crew, this is definitely the dress for you.
Since we're going full gender bend, it would've been really awesome to see an evening look for a man on Black Widow, but this is still pretty fantastic. Relatively understated, but with a great power suit style blazer on top, and that garter knife for the deadly sex appeal part of Black Widow.
While you can get all the sex appeal you'll ever need from the Hawkeye Initiative, this dress is still pretty sweet. And the boy cut is pretty rocking.
One of my favorite pars of the Hulk concept is the way it looks like its been pulled together. That sort of looks feels rather reminiscent of the whole, turning into a huge green rage monster and losing all of your clothing and then turning back into a person again.
I wasn't entirely sure who the Enchantress was, but she's a villain from the Thor series with whom Thor had an on-again, off-again relationship.
Somewhere between avant-garde fashion and the same LARP fest as the Thor dress, this Captain American villain looks amazing in evening dress form.
This Pyro evening look is like a galaxy on fire.
And finally, fandom favorite Loki. I'm not entirely sure about that crotch, but it's definitely 100% the God of Mischief.
You can check out all of the Marvel evening dresses at the unidentifiedspoon tumblr. What superheroes would you like to receive the same treatment?
