Fiercest Ladies on TV

Recently, women actresses are killing it on the TV screen. They are powerful, in control, and most importantly, sassy. Their witty comebacks combined with their fashion forward outfits make them unstoppable. Not only are they smart, but they are confident in their talents, abilities, and themselves. Nothing is sexier than a girl who knows who she is and is damn proud of it.

Donna – From Suits

This fiery redheaded secretary prides herself on her confidence, poise, wit, and shoes. She knows everything and anything going on in the law firm, utilizing “gossiping” (a characteristic used as a derogatory term by men) as her secret weapon. Favorite tag line: “I’m Donna. I know everything.” Her ability to observe every knack of a person allows her to predict their calculated moves and in turn react before they even strike.

Olivia Pope – Scandal

Not only is she jaw-droppingly stunning with her big brown eyes and perfectly done hair, but she controls every situation, no matter how insane the circumstances. Her job in itself is to be a “fixer” of problems (no other job can top that). Furthermore, she’s sought after by every guy around, including the President of the United States. Her friends, known as gladiators, would die for her – and let me tell you, that loyalty only comes around when someone is really special. Her ability to handle anything that is thrown her way makes her a must watch this season.

Olivia Benson – Law and Order: SVU

She can kick criminals as*** while simultaneously comforting rape victims. Sporting a leather jacket and her favorite blue long-sleeve tee, she knows how to make the biggest douche**** crumble in the interrogation room. She can hold her own in any life-threatening situation, while still remaining calm and collected. You spend every minute watching SVU rooting for her and knowing she is going to make the bad guys pay.

Daenerys Targaryen – Game of Thrones

The girl’s got dragons – need I say more? She’s taken over not one, but two armies of men that weren’t even descendants of her own land. She was smart enough to trick one of the richest and most powerful men to sell to her his army. Once she did that, she had her dragon set him on fire…..
