ABOUT BATGIRL:
1. COSTUME – The outfit Batgirl wears in the Harley Quinn show draws significant influence from the original Batman and Robin TV series and so we started with this classic outfit.
2. GLOVES – Unlike the original Batgirl, this iteration swaps out the spiked purple gloves for a more practical pair of yellow gauntlet gloves.
3. WIG – The retro curly hairstyle is also replaced by a more modern short auburn hair cut.
4. CAPE – The purple cape also makes way for a black and yellow cape, very much in keeping with more modern interpretations of the character.
5. BELT – Swap out that clunky utility belt for a thin yellow belt, we recommend ordering a larger size to allow it to hang like Batgirl’s.
6. FOOTWEAR – Finally, a pair of heels might not be the most functional crime-fighting footwear but sometimes you have to make sacrifices in the name of style!
Batgirl, like Harley Quinn, has gone through countless interpretations over the years. However, this costume from the Harley Quinn Show is one of our all-time favorites!
Perfectly mixing modern and retro influences, this look is an homage to the many women who have donned the moniker before and we are here for it.

This Batgirl guide combines a purple costume with yellow gloves, a slim yellow belt and a black-and-yellow cape. Short auburn hair supports the Harley Quinn animated-series interpretation. Those bright contrasts are central to this outfit, so an all-black bodysuit would create a noticeably different version even with the same bat symbol.
A classic purple Batgirl costume makes a useful base for this guide’s interpretation. Swap the accessories for yellow gauntlet gloves, a narrow yellow belt and a black-and-yellow cape. Check what the original costume includes first so you can concentrate on those visible changes rather than buying duplicate masks or other pieces.
No, purple flats or comfortable boots can replace the heels shown in this guide. Choose footwear that works with the costume’s purple-and-yellow palette and lets you walk easily. The bat emblem, mask and cape identify Batgirl more strongly than a particular heel shape, especially for a party or convention outfit.
Position the cape so the yellow lining can show around your shoulders without covering the bat emblem. Wear the slim yellow belt comfortably at the hips or waist, depending on the costume’s cut. Try sitting and raising your arms to check that neither accessory pulls the outfit out of place.
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy create a recognizable animated-series group with Batgirl, while the Joker adds a familiar villain. Calendar Man is another option for a friend who enjoys a more unusual character. Batgirl’s purple-and-yellow suit provides a strong visual contrast against Ivy’s green clothing and Harley’s red-and-black outfit.
Short auburn hair helps match the version featured here, but a wig is optional for a casual Batgirl costume. Keep any longer hair arranged so it does not hide the mask or cape fastening. Prioritize the purple suit and yellow accessories first, then add the hairstyle if you want greater character accuracy.
