style icon: harley quinn in “birds of prey”
Steal the style of Harley Quinn, our bisexual queen, from the Birds of Prey movie (which was criminally underrated IMO).
I just rewatched “Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn” and Harley is just so iconic. Irrepressible, sassy, stylish, and a bisexual queen (love that she ends up with Poison Ivy in the animated show).
I want to dress like her. I want to decorate like she does. I WANT TO BE HER. SHE IS MY NEW HYPERFIXATION! Ahem.
While I’m too clumsy for gymnastics/roller derby and too risk-averse to live her devil-may-care (and, importantly, fictional) lifestyle, there’s always clothes 💅
SO HOW CAN WE DRESS LIKE HER????
Here’s what to include:
TONS. OF. JEWELRY. She wears silver, but gold works too. Chain and charm necklaces, rings on every finger, mismatched earrings, MORE IS MORE! One of her charms is shaped like a dog bone, engraved with the name BRUCE for her hyena, because she thought Bruce Wayne was a cutie.
Heavy makeup. Now is not the time for subtlety. Bold red lip, smudged dark eyeliner, optional tiny heart on your cheek <3
Sequins! Glitter! All the shiny sparkly iridescent things! Rhinestones on your face!
Neon colors (especially pink) like you’re going to a rave or Coachella or something idk #PLURiguess?
DIY vibe: torn, tattered, frayed, patched stuff to show you’re a broke scrappy punk who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. One of her jackets appears to be made out of sliced-up “CAUTION” tape 😍
subtle harlequin patterns/nods to the origin of her name
bleached blonde hair, dyed yourself
It probably goes without saying, but thrifting and DIYing seems much more fitting with Harley’s ethos than buying a bunch of new fast-fashion stuff, so the more you (we) (I!) can make yourself, the better!
(Although it might be hard to thrift those hot pink suspenders.)
p.s. it should go without saying but despite the bullets and emojis I WROTE ALL OF THIS MYSELF WITH NO HELP FROM AI. FUCK AI FOREVER!
