Make Your Own Rogue Costume

Rogue is definitely one of the most popular characters in X-Men. The sexy, sassy Southern belle is gifted with one of the strongest powers in the mutant world – her ability to absorb energy, memories, and powers from other mutants and human beings by just a mere touch of her hand.

Luckily, she also has one of the simplest costumes in the group, so you won’t have a lot of problems if you decide to dress up as her to your Halloween or costume party. Do keep in mind though that Rogue’s outfit is very skin-tight, so a good physique will help wonders to pull off this look.

Things you will need:

• Green, long-sleeved body suit or unitard
• Yellow fabric paint
• Yellow thigh-high boots
• Yellow gloves
• Brown belt
• Red paint
• Khaki jacket or trench coat
• White hair color
• Red hair color

Step 1: Rogue wears a green and yellow one-piece body suit, which can be hard to find in most stores. The easy way to get the suit right is to buy a green, long-sleeved body suit or unitard and use spray paint to create the yellow parts.

Download a picture of Rogue from the Internet to make sure you will get the colors right. The yellow parts of the costume are in the middle of the suit. Draw a line on the fabric, from the neck down to the middle of the pants and inner thighs.

Cover the side parts of the body suit with newspaper and color the middle part using yellow spray paint. Be very careful with this so the suit will have even colors on both sides.

Step 2: The costume requires you to wear yellow gloves and yellow thigh-high boots. If you are having a hard time looking for these, you can simply buy white ones and use the spray paint to make it yellow. Put one green stripe on each boot, right under the knee part. You can use green marker for this.

Step 3: Rogue wears a brown belt around her waist. You can just use an old belt, which you hang a bit loose and low on the waist. Paint the buckle red using spray paint.

Step 4: The most striking part of the costume is the hair. Rogue has curly red hair, with her front locks streaked white. For a more natural look, color your hair red using temporary dye and apply streaks of white on the front.  Choose hair colors that can be easily washed in the shower.

To get her carefree-looking mane, put your hair in braids the night before the party. Make sure to do this while your hair is still slightly wet. Get the braids out in the morning and tease your hair using your fingers.

Step 5: Complete the look with a khaki, military-style jacket. Just get one from a surplus store and you’re all set. Just roll up the sleeves up to your elbows and you now have Rogue’s signature style. Apply burgundy lipstick on your lips and you’re all set.
