Edna Mode is a complete icon. With her short stature, a habit of calling everyone “dahling”, and a serious eye for superhero outfits, this fashion designer is a standout character.

After all, she did work alongside Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl when she first built their suits!
So, let’s take a deeper look at this incredible (pun intended!) character and a few of her best lines from both films.
