Elektra Cosplay: At a Glance
ABOUT ELEKTRA:
1. BODYSUIT – We started our sexy Elektra outfit with a simple red bodysuit.
2. SKULL CAP – Next, you will need a red doo rag with an extra-long tail, or you could use a strip of red ribbon to create the tail.
3. GLOVES – Opera gloves work perfectly for this look, they just need to be elbow-length and match the color of your bodysuit.
4. SIAS – Elektra fights with a range of bladed weapons but her most iconic weapon of choice by far is her dual-wielded sias.
5. LEGGINGS – Slip into a pair of thigh-high stockings with red accents or a pair of red thigh wraps would also work.
6. BOOTS – Dressing up like Elketra is the perfect excuse to avail yourself of a pair of showstopping knee-high boots!
7. SASH – Finally, tie a long red ribbon sash around your waist and you are ready to go!
Elektra has been absent from the big screen for quite some time but with the huge success that is Deadpool & Wolverine, we have a feeling this is going to be one mightily popular Halloween costume this year!
This look is fun, it’s sexy, and it is so easy to pull off! Everything that an absolute classic of a dress-up outfit needs to be.
