This DIY Harley Quinn costume takes inspiration from Margot Robbie's depiction of the villainous trickster in the all-new superhero film, Suicide Squad. The costume designed by blogger Love Maegan replicates the makeup, hair and outfit that Robbie adorns in the movie featuring an incredibly realistic depiction of the character.
Quinn is known in the Batman saga as the girlfriend of the infamous villain Joker. In the film Suicide Squad Quinn's look is slightly more edgy and flirtatious featuring blue and pink pigtails, a playing card-inspired outfit and gesture white makeup. The costume features a black corset that has been revamped with the addition of blue and red opposite cups, a white school girl shirt and opposite colored boots and tights. This would be a great costume to try out for Halloween or a Batman cosplay.
