  1. 1

    For Superman: Put on the blue Superman shirt or full bodysuit, ensuring the 'S' logo is centered and wrinkle-free.

  2. 2

    Attach the red cape securely to the shoulders of the shirt so it drapes evenly down your back.

  3. 3

    If opting for the Clark Kent transition look, wear a white button-down shirt over the Superman shirt, leaving the chest unbuttoned to reveal the logo, and put on the black-rimmed glasses.

  4. 4

    For Lois Lane: Dress in your professional office attire, tucking the blouse into the skirt or trousers and layering the blazer or vest on top.

  5. 5

    Clip the Daily Planet press badge onto your blazer lapel or wear it around your neck on a lanyard.

    Carry the reporter notepad and pen in hand, ready to interview your superhero partner.

  7. 7

    Stand side-by-side, with Superman striking a heroic hands-on-hips pose and Lois looking up with her notepad ready.

Makeup & hair

For Superman, style hair with a strong hold gel, combing a small curl down onto the forehead (the classic 'S' curl). For Lois Lane, opt for a neat, professional blowout or a classic 1950s-style updo, paired with natural makeup and a bold red lip.

Tips

  • If doing the Clark Kent reveal, wear a lightweight undershirt so you do not overheat under the dress shirt and blazer.
  • For great photos, have Lois pretend to interview Superman, or capture a classic 'saving' pose where Superman holds Lois's hand.
  • Keep props lightweight; a small pocket notebook is much easier to carry around a party than a bulky vintage camera.
