Harley Quinn is one of the most popular cosplay characters and it’s possible to create your own amazing Harley Quinn cosplay for under £150! No character boasts as many costumes as Harley Quinn, but here we cover how to create a Suicide Squad Harley Quinn cosplay. “Get to work puddin!”


Where to buy Harley Quinn Suicide Squad clothing

As it’s such a popular costume, you can pick-and-mix purchase individual parts of the outfit separately, or, for ease of use, buy it as a complete set. As always, check customer reviews to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth.

Harley Quinn Daddy’s Lil Monster T-shirt

There’s no shortage of stockists of this popular T-shirt, so shop around for the best deals, and, if possible, buy one with good customer feedback so you know it’s decent quality.

You’ll find the T-shirt like new, or with a pre-distressed, battle-worn look. @ebay

Don’t spend too much on one as once you get it, you’ll need to rip holes into it and get it dirty to give it that well-used, battle-worn look. If you prefer, you’ll find the odd place that will have done this already for you.

Harley Quinn Suicide Squad cosplay weapons

Rigid foam bats are con-friendly! ©etsy

Foam bats are plentiful and most are very affordable. If you plan to take them to cons, make sure they’re inflatable or foam – avoid wooden bats! Here’s a couple of suggestions:

Buy on Amazon UK
Official foam hard deluxe baseball bat
Buy from theukpartystoreltd on Etsy

Harley Quinn Suicide Squad mallet

Check the sizes of mallets as well as materials they’re made of to be sure they’re suitable for cons. ©Lilliancreationprops/etsy

The most popular choices are Converses or black and white Ref boots. Classic Converses look cool and when not cosplaying, you can wear them on casual nights out! For a truly authentic look check out black and white Ref ankle boots. With lace-up ties, fold- over cuffs and a pointed toe you’ll look sporty, classy and tough. It’s time to kick ass!

Harley Quinn make-up kits

The face make-up will give you her signature pale complexion and classic bright red lips. Last but not least, the blue and red triangles drawn underneath your eyes will transform you into DC’s craziest female supervillain.

Harley Quinn Suicide Squad wigs

You’re spoilt for choice, but we’d suggest you avoid the really cheap wigs, which may prove itchy to wear and harder to style.

Websites like Amazon offer plenty of options – use verified customer reviews to help you choose. ©Amazon

Harley Quinn Suicide Squad hair dyes

If you’ve long blonde hair, adding pink and blue dye is a fast and easy way to give an authentic look. Create two pigtails: left is blue, right is pink. While there were Suicide Squad dye kits available following the launch of the movie, these are now sold out or discontinued, so use generic dyes instead. Consider the example from ebay below. These Harley Quinn spray-on dyes come in easy-to-use pink and blue cans. Buy on ebay UK

Using hair dye offers an alternative to wearing a wig. We’d recommend a trial run before Con. ©ebay
