How to put it together
- 1
Put on the black spandex bike shorts first for comfort and coverage.
- 2
Slip on the red asymmetric dress, ensuring the high slit sits on your left thigh.
- 3
Pull on the knee-high black combat boots and lace them up securely.
- 4
Strap the dual tactical holsters around your thighs, adjusting the belts so they stay firmly in place.
- 5
Insert the toy prop pistols into the thigh holsters.
- 6
Lightly distress the dress and boots with a small amount of dark eyeshadow or fabric paint to simulate dirt and soot.
Makeup & hair
Style your hair into a messy, chin-length blonde bob with textured, piecey layers. Keep makeup minimal with a natural base, adding subtle smudges of charcoal eyeshadow on your cheeks and arms to look like battle grime.
