Miss Piggy
Miss Piggy started as a background chorus pig with no lines and became the show's most forceful presence, largely because Frank Oz built an interior life for her that the writing had not asked for — his stated conception was a truck driver's daughter who had reinvented herself entirely and would destroy anyone who suggested otherwise. That is why the character works: the glamour is a performance she is holding together by force, and the karate chop arrives the moment it slips.

- The Muppet Show (1976), ITC Entertainment

- Piggy, Miss Piggy Lee

Who is Miss Piggy?
Miss Piggy started as a background chorus pig with no lines and became the show's most forceful presence, largely because Frank Oz built an interior life for her that the writing had not asked for — his stated conception was a truck driver's daughter who had reinvented herself entirely and would destroy anyone who suggested otherwise. That is why the character works: the glamour is a performance she is holding together by force, and the karate chop arrives the moment it slips. She is also, unusually for a comic diva, never actually punished for her ambition; the show lets her be ridiculous and lets her win. Bonnie Erickson, who designed her, has said she named her partly after the singer Peggy Lee. She is one of very few characters in this category whose merchandising skews decisively adult and female.

What Miss Piggy looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: Blonde curls, long lashes, pearls and lavender gloves
Pink and gold with pearls is the identifier, and the character supports slogan and typographic designs better than almost anyone else here — the register is fashion parody rather than costume, which is a genuinely different lane.
Pink and gold with pearls. Supports slogan and typographic designs better than nearly anything else here — the register is fashion parody rather than costume, which is a distinct lane. Strong in women's and girls' sizing.
