Agreeing, one wrote: 'Hello I would like Villanelle''s please', while another said: 'Villanelle in those pyjamas. I am OBSESSED AS EVER'.
'OK. Someone needs to tell me where I can get Villanelle's pyjamas. Having cool pyjamas is one of my things'.
Admitting that her style status was strong as ever, one said: 'Omg I actually love Villanelle. She's so brutal it's hilarious. #KillingEve (ps. omg is that hashtag emoji in the comic pyjamas? I love it.'
Admitting they were already addicted, one tweeted: 'Perfect cover! Villanelle walking around Basildon in pyjamas and crocs.'
Hailing her return, another said: 'Villanelle is back and she can even make comic book pyjamas look stylish'.

However those hoping to find a pair of similar pyjamas will be sorely disappointed, as the show's costume designer, Charlotte Mitchell, previously revealed they were custom-made.
Speaking to LA Times, she said they were originally meant to be Spider Man pyjamas, but added: 'We have to be careful with clearance on branded clothes.
'So I looked at what the alternative [pattern] could be, still with that comic book feel. It quickly became apparent I would need to have them made.'
Jodie Comer added: 'We had these ones with this gorgeous material that was obviously like, if the boy was from a quite wealthy family.
'And then that all changed and they were like, ‘Hey, here's this really stretchy, unforgivable fabric, in a Size H10 boy. Throw it on.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my God, where are my boobs gonna go?’.

On Saturday night Killing Eve finally returned to screens on for the first time since last spring with a new episode, titled Do You Know How To Dispose Of A Body?.
But fans still couldn't contain their horror when, near the end of the episode, Villanelle suddenly snapped the neck of a young boy [Pierre Atri] who flippantly expressed that he wished he was dead.
However their horror soon turned to joy, when she was seen donning the little boy's pyjamas as she made a stealthy escape from the hospital.
The episode saw Eve being re-hired by Carolyn [Fiona Shaw] to hunt Villanelle, while the hitwoman escaped the hospital and stowed away in a family's car as they traveled on the ferry from Calais back to England.
