Thread the black leather belt through the pants loops and secure the silver buckle in the center.

Drape the blue cape over your shoulders, ensuring the gold lining is visible when the cape flows back.

Makeup & hair
Style your hair into a neat, retro 1970s-style afro or short curls. The key feature is Lando's signature groomed mustache; use an eyebrow pencil to fill it in or apply a realistic stick-on mustache.
