Zoey from KPop Demon Hunters

A DIY Zoey costume is built around her hair and a bold outfit: two braided space buns with short bangs, a strappy blue top, colourful printed trousers and an arm band. Everything can come from your wardrobe, and the hair takes about ten minutes. It costs around $14 and needs no sewing.

What you need

  • A strappy blue top, vest or crop top
  • Colourful printed trousers or leggings
  • A strip of fabric or a wide hair band for the arm band
  • Black hair (or a black wig), and four hair elastics
  • Bobby pins and hairspray
  • Black or white trainers
  • Optional: black eyeliner for a bold look

How to make it

  1. 1

    Put on the blue top and the printed trousers. Pick the loudest pair you have.

  2. 2

    Part your hair down the middle. Take each side and divide it into two sections.

  3. 3

    Braid each side down to the ends and secure with an elastic.

  4. 4

    Twist each braid into a bun on the top of your head, one on each side, and pin it firmly.

  5. 5

    Pull out a few short strands at the front to make a fringe, and let a few side locks hang down.

  6. 6

    Wrap the arm band round your upper arm and secure with a pin or a knot.

  7. 7

    Add the trainers and a bold eyeliner flick.

Make it better

  • Do the braids slightly loose before you twist them into buns, so the buns look full.
  • If your hair is short, clip-in braids or a wig do the job.
  • Pick a top and trousers that clash a little. That is the look.

Questions

How do I do Zoey's hair at home?

Braid two sides, twist each braid into a bun on top of your head and pin it in place. Add a little fringe at the front and leave a few strands loose at the sides.

Can I make this costume with clothes I already own?

Yes. Any strappy blue top and any bright printed trousers will work. The hair does most of the work.

Is this an official Zoey costume?

No. It is a homemade, unofficial costume inspired by the character in KPop Demon Hunters. Nothing here is official merchandise.

Can I wear it for UK fancy dress?

Yes. Add a long-sleeve top underneath and a jacket for a UK October evening.
