Marvel Costume Collection
Cut two curved tail shapes from brown faux fur, sew or glue them together and fill the tail with lightweight stuffing. Add flexible wire or an EVA foam core for support, then secure it to a sturdy belt or waist harness.
Combine a brown top and shorts with thigh-high socks, a fur-lined jacket, fingerless gloves and brown winter boots. Complete the Squirrel Girl costume with an orange wig, squirrel ears, an oversized tail, a utility belt and a convention-safe slingshot prop.
Squirrel Girl carries nuts in her utility belt to feed and recruit her squirrel allies. Acorn earrings, belt pouches or an acorn-shaped buckle are therefore particularly effective additions to her costume.
Tippy-Toe is Squirrel Girl’s best-known squirrel companion. Attach a small squirrel plush wearing a pink bow to your shoulder, jacket or belt to include Tippy-Toe in the cosplay.
Squirrel Girl possesses superhuman strength and agility, enhanced senses, climbing claws and a large prehensile tail. She can also communicate with squirrels and organize them to help her defeat villains.
Squirrel Girl can join a Marvel Rivals group featuring Iron Man, Spider-Man, Luna Snow, Jeff the Land Shark or Rocket Raccoon. Her colorful woodland design provides a fun contrast to the team’s armored and tactical costumes.
