Layer the charcoal gray double-breasted pea coat over the shirt, leaving the coat unbuttoned to show the layers.
- 3
Fasten the Cullen crest leather cuff onto your right wrist.
- 4
Style your hair or fit the bronze wig, using hairspray to achieve Edward's signature messy, wind-blown volume.
- 5
Apply pale foundation to your face and neck, then dust a light layer of silver shimmer powder or spray onto your exposed skin.
- 6
Finish the look with dark brown or gold-toned contact lenses to match his vampire eye color.
Makeup & hair
Apply a very pale foundation or concealer to mimic vampire skin, and use cool-toned brown eyeshadow under the eyes to create subtle dark circles. Style your hair into a messy, voluminous, wind-swept pompadour with plenty of texture and bronze tones.
