Bulma Bunny Costume
Rock Bulma's iconic, accidental bunny suit look from classic Dragon Ball.
Bulma's bunny suit is one of her most famous and recognizable outfits from the original Dragon Ball series, worn out of necessity when her regular clothes were ruined. This classic cosplay features a black playboy-style bunny leotard paired with a white collar, red bowtie, and Bulma's signature teal hair. It is a bold, fun choice for anime conventions and retro cosplay fans.

Fasten the white collar around your neck and secure the red bowtie directly in the center.
- 4
Slip the white cuffs onto your wrists, ensuring they sit comfortably above your hands.
- 5
Put on a wig cap, then secure the teal Bulma wig, adjusting the bangs so they sit just above your eyebrows.

Finish the outfit by slipping into the red high heels and attaching the white fluffy tail to the back of the bodysuit if it isn't already built-in.
Makeup & hair
Style the teal wig with straight bangs and a high ponytail secured with a purple ribbon. Keep makeup bright and anime-inspired with winged black eyeliner, long eyelashes, and a soft pink lip gloss.
