Lace up the purple and white sneakers, wearing low-profile or white ankle socks.

Carry the red and yellow skateboard under your arm as your primary character prop.

Makeup & hair

Keep makeup minimal with a pale, clean complexion and neutral lips. Use a black liquid eyeliner to create a subtle, sharp cat-eye shape at the outer corners to mimic Killua's cat-like eyes. Style the silver-white wig with plenty of volume and defined, outward-facing spikes.

Keep a small can of extra-hold hairspray in your bag to touch up the wig spikes if they start to droop during the day.
