ABOUT JOYCE BYERS:
Joyce Byers is the fiercely determined, no-nonsense mom of Will and Jonathan in Stranger Things. Known for her frantic energy and unstoppable willpower, Joyce will stop at nothing to protect her kids—even if it means stringing up Christmas lights to talk to the Upside Down. Her style is pure 80s mom chic: striped tees, flannels, and a lot of stress. Cosplaying Joyce is a mix of practicality and unshakable maternal instincts, with a touch of eccentric flair.
1. Olive Green Jacket – Start with a casual army-style jacket, something rugged and practical.
2. Striped Shirt – Layer with a fitted striped tee for that classic 80s look.
3. Blue Mom Jeans – Pair with high-waisted blue jeans for a lived-in, authentic Joyce outfit.
4. Axe Prop (Optional) – For a dramatic touch, carry a toy axe to channel Joyce’s protective instincts.
5. Wavy Wig – Choose a mid-length brown wig with natural waves to mimic Joyce’s slightly messy hairstyle.
6. Fake Cigarettes – A small accessory, but one that adds to Joyce’s stressed-out, chain-smoking vibe.
7. Christmas Lights Prop – A string of colorful lights is the ultimate Joyce accessory, symbolizing her connection to Will and the Upside Down.
Joyce Byers is the heart of Stranger Things, the mom who refuses to give up, no matter how strange things get in Hawkins. Dressing as Joyce means embracing a mix of frantic energy, practical mom style, and supernatural determination.
It’s also one of the easiest Stranger Things costumes to put together. With just a striped shirt, jeans, and Christmas lights, you can instantly become the ultimate monster-fighting mom.
For group cosplay, pair Joyce with Hopper for a fan-favorite duo, or bring in Will and Jonathan for a full Byers family look. Add Eleven and the Hawkins kids for an epic group ensemble that ties the whole story together.
