Mira from KPop Demon Hunters

A DIY Mira costume starts with long hot pink hair in two pigtails, a black crop top and a yellow skirt. Add pink-accented boot covers and a little wave drawing on the top, and you have the tall, bold look of Mira from KPop Demon Hunters. It costs about $22 and needs no sewing. The long wig does most of the work, so spend your money there.

What you need

  • A long hot pink wig, or pink clip-in hair extensions
  • A black short-sleeved crop top or tee you can tie up
  • A yellow skirt
  • Black boots, or black trainers
  • Pink socks, cloth or felt to make boot covers
  • Blue and white fabric markers for drawing on the top
  • Two hair ties for the pigtails
  • Elastic or tape to hold the boot covers

How to make it

  1. 1

    If you have a plain black tee, tie it up or fold the hem to make a crop top. Lay it flat with card inside.

  2. 2

    Draw simple blue wave shapes across the chest in fabric marker, then add a few short marks of your own. Leave it ten minutes to dry.

  3. 3

    Put on the black top and yellow skirt, then pull on the boots.

  4. 4

    Cut two strips of pink cloth about 12 cm tall, wrap each round the top of a boot and hold in place with tape or elastic. Pink socks pulled over the top of the boot work too.

  5. 5

    Put the wig on and divide the front into two sections. Tie each into a small pigtail at ear height.

  6. 6

    Part the rest of the front in the middle and let two loose side pieces frame your face.

  7. 7

    Finish with a bold stance and a confident look.

Make it better

  • A long wig is the biggest part of the costume, so pick one that is thigh-length if you can.
  • Draw on a flat top with card inside so ink does not bleed through.
  • Tape the boot covers on with fabric tape, not glue, so they come off clean.

Questions

How do I make a Mira costume from clothes I already own?

Use a black crop top, a yellow skirt and your own boots. Add a pink wig and draw the print on yourself with fabric markers.

Can I do Mira without a wig?

Yes. Clip-in pink extensions or temporary hair spray work, and you can add two pigtails to your own hair.

Is this an official Mira costume?

No. It is a homemade, unofficial costume built from everyday clothes and craft supplies. It is not affiliated with the film's makers.

Is this good for a UK party?

Yes. It works well for fancy dress, and most of the clothes are everyday items.

Unofficial. Mira and the KPop Demon Hunters names belong to their respective owners, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by them. The names are used only to describe this homemade parody costume.
