How to put it together
- 1
Put on a basic black shirt and black pants as your base layer under the coat.
- 2
Put on the silver-white wig, styling the bangs so they frame your face without blocking your vision.
- 3
Place the yellow LED headband on your head, positioning it just behind the wig's hairline so the glowing 'lights' sit like a halo.
- 4
Secure the yellow skull-and-wings badge to the front center of the black pilot hat, then place the hat over the wig and headband.
- 5
Put on the black double-breasted trench coat and button it up completely.
- 6
Slip on the black arm warmers or fingerless gloves to complete the robotic arm look.
- 7
Turn on the LED headband lights right before stepping out or taking photos.
Makeup & hair
Style the silver-white wig to be messy and slightly spiked. Use yellow face paint or cosmetic-grade yellow LED glasses to mimic N's glowing yellow digital eyes.
