How to put it together
- 1
Put on the bright red sweatpants and a simple t-shirt underneath.
- 2
Put on the powder blue puffer jacket and leave it zipped up about halfway.
- 3
Put on the short black wig. Use hairpins to sweep the bangs dramatically to one side, mimicking Nicky's asymmetrical hairstyle.
- 4
Slip on the orange and black knit gloves.
- 5
Lace up the gray sneakers.
- 6
Carry the silver flask as your main prop, occasionally holding it up to capture rogue demons.
Makeup & hair
Keep your face clean-shaven or natural. The hair is the key element: style a black wig or your own hair so it has a severe, flat, side-swept fringe that covers part of one eye, pinned in place.
