Top The Boys Character Looks to Recreate
Let me walk you through the most popular characters and how to build their looks with merch.
Homelander
The caped hero is all about the Americana theme. Start with a Homelander t-shirt that has the eagle and flag print. Add a cheap red cape (DIY or party store). Wear blue jeans and yellow-tinted sunglasses. Skip the muscle suit - the tee does the work.
Pro tip: For a twist, go for the Homelander from the "Herogasm" episode. Use a white tee with fake blood stains. Disturbing, but memorable.
Billy Butcher
Butcher is a street-level antihero. His signature look is a black leather jacket with a Vought patch. Many merch jackets come with that patch. Add a dark button-up shirt, worn-in jeans, and boots. Carry a plastic crowbar (or a prop laser pointer). Don’t forget the dirty blond wig if your hair isn’t similar.
Starlight (Annie January)
Starlight’s comic-accurate costume includes a white corset and thigh-high boots. But for a casual take, wear a Starlight t-shirt with the star logo. Pair with white shorts, a white cape, and a star-shaped hair clip. If you want more detail, add metallic silver gloves.
The Deep
His gill-covered suit is tough to replicate. Instead, go for his casual look from Season 3: an aqua-blue polo shirt, khakis, and a big smile. Hold a stuffed octopus. For extra fun, wear a fake gill collar you can make from paper plates and green paint.
A-Train
He wears a red and silver speedster suit. For a quick version, wear a red A-Train tee, red joggers, and a pair of running sunglasses. Attach a small fan or wind machine to your belt to blow your hair back. Instant speed illusion.
Kimiko (from Gen V)
Kimiko’s feral look is popular. Start with a gray tank top and black cargo pants - both can be plain merch. Add fake blood and dirt with makeup. Carry a plush bunny (inverted reference). The key is the wild hair and dirt.
