The artist used a photo of a cosplayer as the main reference.
3D Artist Thrace Kelsick has presented a beautiful 3D recreation of DC's Catwoman as portrayed in 2015 Batman: Arkham Knight. This project was made during the final term at Think Tank Training Centre and is the first CG character made by Thrace. The coolest part about the project is the fact that the artist used a photo of cosplayer Xenia Shelkovskaya as the primary reference.
Regarding the workflow, the character was modeled and sculpted in ZBrush and Maya, except for the suit, which was made in Marvelous Designer. Skin texturing was done in Mari and all other textures were made by the author using Substance 3D Painter. Lighting, lookdev, and rendering were done in Maya and Arnold. All work was completed within an ACEScg color pipeline.
And here are some behind-the-scenes shots shared by the artist:
