Cassandra Peterson, who is famously known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, effortlessly maintains her goth queen status, even in casual attire. She was at Los Angeles International Airport last week; the fans were surprised to see her rock a low-key all-black look, as seen in paparazzi photos that were shared on January 26.
The 73-year-old wore leather combat boots, skinny jeans, and a turtleneck under a zip-up jacket. She paired the outfit with a fuzzy hat, round-frame glasses, and a sleek berry-red lipstick, leaving her red hair straight and polished. Though she looked nearly unrecognizable, her unmistakable elegance still turned heads.
