How to put it together
- 1
Put on the blonde wig first, securing it tightly with a wig cap and hairpins, styling it into a high ponytail at the crown of your head.
- 2
Step into the red and black bodysuit, pulling it up over your shoulders and zipping it up completely.
- 3
Put on your black combat boots and tuck the cuffs of the bodysuit into the tops of the boots if necessary.
- 4
Strap the dual katana harness over your shoulders so the sheaths cross on your back, then slide the toy katanas into the slots.
- 5
Fasten the tactical utility belt around your waist, positioning the Deadpool logo buckle directly in the center.
- 6
Carefully pull the Lady Deadpool mask over your head, gently pulling your blonde ponytail through the designated hole at the top so it cascades down your back.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup minimal under the mask to avoid smudging, focusing on a lightweight primer and sweat-proof setting spray. For hair, secure your natural hair or wig into a tight, high ponytail using strong elastic bands so it stays in place when pulled through the mask.
