These soap villains and troublemakers might ruffle feathers, but no one can say they don't do it with style. From power suits to faux fur coats, they never look sloppy.
The style of these characters does their talking long before they even open their mouths. Some fans might not like what they do, but plenty would raid their wardrobes without blinking.
You can hate these 7 soap characters, but you can’t deny they’ve got style
1. Sheila Carter — The Bold and the Beautiful

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Sheila Carter always shows up when everyone thinks she is gone for good. She has stolen babies and swapped DNA tests, and faked more deaths than anyone else on daytime TV. But she's also spent time as the wife of the respected Eric Forrester and had to look the part in the Forrester Creations boardroom. No matter what dirty deeds Sheila was pulling off, there was a time when she did it looking classy.
2. Brooke Logan — The Bold and the Beautiful

Brooke Logan has stood at the heart of The Bold and the Beautiful since the first episode aired. For thirty-eight years, she has tangled herself in every Forrester feud and scandal possible.
Brooke served as Eric’s and Ridge’s muse for countless designs, including all of her many wedding gowns. She inspired entire lines at Forrester Creations and modeled them herself. She made Brooke’s Bedroom a name everyone whispered when she strutted in her own lingerie on the runway.
3. Phyllis Summers — The Young and the Restless

Phyllis Summers never wanted to play fair when she could play smarter. She first came to town chasing Danny Romalotti and broke his marriage to get him. Since then, she’s blackmailed half of Genoa City and usually rises again, looking untouched.
Phyllis' clothes match her sharp wit. She loves fitted dresses, bold jewelry, and hair that stays perfect even in a screaming match. When Phyllis owned The Grand Phoenix Hotel, she turned the lobby into her own runway: Every entrance felt like a warning shot.
4. Sami Brady — Days of our Lives

Sami Brady has spent decades fighting for the people she loves (including herself) and standing her ground when Salem pushed back. She first built her reputation on chaos, but fans know she has changed since those wild early days. Her latest return showed a side of her that felt raw and honest.
Sami may look and sound a little less rebellious these days, but she still wears outfits that show that her fire never left. Sami’s style stays sharp but softer now. She stepped back on screen in classic heels and fitted jackets that look bold without feeling reckless. The fans who grew up with her see her as a fighter who dresses like she knows her own worth and reminds everyone that strength and style can grow together.
5. Alexis Davis — General Hospital

Alexis Davis built her name as a lawyer who always seems to find herself in trouble, largely due to her daughter Kristina and her ex-mobster, Sonny Corinthos. She took on cases that put her in danger and made her stand up to threats others would run from.
Although she has had to rock a prison jumpsuit before, she usually stands in court as the one defending others, not herself. Her power suits announce that she shows up to win. No matter what scandal breaks, Alexis never lets her clothes slip out of line. Her style is like her personality, practical and grounded when everything else spins. People may doubt her choices and her messy love life, but they cannot say she ever looked weak. Whether she's dressed in a solid suit or a soft sweater, Alexis always appears ready to hold her ground.
6. Ava Jerome — General Hospital

Ava Jerome doesn't have a problem breaking every rule if it suits her needs, unless it's a fashion faux pas. Ava Jerome always wears dramatic coats that add to her stomp, making an entrance like she never worries, even though she is nearly always fighting for survival these days. While most of her problems she has brought upon herself, her dismissive demeanor is enhanced with her outfits and flair.
Ava walks into the Metro Court bar in silk and heels and drops bombs that ruin lives in Port Charles, but she does it in style. Her wardrobe makes her look as sharp as her tongue, and announces to everyone that she will never bow down quietly.
7. Anita Dupree — Beyond the Gates

Anita Dupree stands as the matriarch of Beyond the Gates and does it wearing clothes that speak for her before she says a word. She runs Fairmont Crest like a queen who built her own throne while blending tailored suits with satin blouses that fall just right.
Whether Anita is showing up for charity events or family showdowns, she steps out in gowns with bold colors and jewelry that glints under the lights. Her silver hair stays styled like she planned every strand. Anita still sings on stage but now her voice carries power from boardrooms and living rooms, with the perfect outfit to match.
