Joker Costumes

Tips for transforming yourself into the Joker

Batman’s arch-enemy, the one responsible for spreading chaos across Gotham City, the villain with the most style and a truly unhinged sense of humour… that is just a small summary of what we can say about our favourite villain: the Joker. If you are looking for a Joker costume for your next fancy dress party or Halloween celebration, don’t miss our tips for transforming yourself into the Joker and bringing anarchy to your next party. Get your wildest smile ready and take note:

The first thing you need to leave your everyday look behind and become this legendary villain is to choose the best Joker costume. At Costumalia, you will find Joker costumes for men and women to start your transformation. You can go for a classic Joker look, such as the Joker costume from The Dark Knight with its iconic purple jacket, choose the more modern version brought to life by Jared Leto with the Joker costume from Suicide Squad, or become Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscar-winning Joker, without doubt our favourite. You decide which Joker you want to become.

Although the Joker first appeared in a Batman comic in 1940, he is still one of children’s favourite villains. Is it because of his green hair? His devilish smile? Or simply because he gets to annoy Batman? Whatever the reason, we know more than a few children are desperate to put on the purple jacket, draw on that wicked grin and become Gotham City’s number one villain. That’s why at Costumalia you will find several children’s Joker costume styles. We can assure you that our Joker costumes for boys and girls would make Batman himself tremble.

Accessories you absolutely need to become the Joker

Some people will stop at the costume, but at Costumalia we are experts in taking fancy dress to the next level, which is why these accessories are essential for making your Joker costume even better:

How to get the Joker’s green hair. You don’t need to spend hours at the hairdresser’s. At Costumalia, we give you two quick ideas to achieve that unmistakable green hair. With a green Joker wig, you will get the deranged hairstyle that follows him through every film. Another option is our coloured hair sprays, which let you colour your own hair green and, who knows, perhaps even define the Joker’s next hairstyle. The limit is up to you.

As any good supervillain knows, you can’t defeat Batman with words alone. We have seen the Joker with endless weapons across the films. At Costumalia, you will find fake weapons for your Joker costume, including pistols, machine guns and even one of his classic props: sticks of dynamite.

Do your make-up like the Joker

You almost have everything, but there is one final step, and for this costume it is one of the most important. Pay attention to this step-by-step Joker make-up guide:

• First, you need to create a completely white base across your whole face. You can do this with our professional white water-based make-up. A tip: remember to apply a little make-up to your neck, but don’t cover it completely. This will help you achieve that unsettling look the Joker has in the films.
• Darken the eyes with black water-based make-up. A tip: Joker make-up does not need to be perfect. In fact, you will get a more realistic effect if you smudge it with your fingers.
• Create the Joker’s smile. This is the crucial moment. To achieve his sadistic grin, you can use red water-based make-up with a brush, or a make-up stick. Either option will give you a terrifying smile.
• How to do Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker make-up. Without doubt, he is one of our favourite Jokers, and sometimes you don’t even need a weapon to spread chaos. To create this make-up look, you can use make-up kits or white, red and blue water-based make-up. As you can see in the film, the make-up is very simple. Unlike other looks, this one will appear more realistic the less defined it is. Use a brush for the blue diamonds around the eyes and apply the rest with a sponge.

The Joker and Harley Quinn, the perfect couple

Some couples enjoy going to the cinema, others love a romantic dinner, and then there are those who enjoy spreading chaos, just like the Joker and Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. So, if you are looking for a couples costume that really gets noticed, a Joker costume for men and a Harley Quinn costume for women will instantly turn you into the winners of any fancy dress party. And if not, you can always cause enough chaos to take over the party.

The children’s Joker costume is one of the most searched-for outfits for fancy dress parties and themed events, but more and more children are choosing this character as their star Halloween look. And it’s not just for children, which is why we also have Joker costumes for adults.

Villain costume

With this costume, you will become a comic-book villain: Batman’s arch-enemy. You will also be the star of your own adventures and co-star alongside your adorable Harley Quinn, forming the most beloved criminal couple with a very particular view of the world.

The Joker is the character of a thousand faces: a clown, a criminal and a villain who, despite all his evil deeds, still wins over the audience. With this costume, you will step into the world of major films, including some of the most iconic: The Dark Knight, Suicide Squad and Joker.

At Costumalia, we have purple costumes as well as red ones, so you can dress as the classic Joker or the more modern version. You will also find all the Joker accessories you need for a top-quality look, including our green wigs, green hair sprays, machine guns and the make-up you need for your transformation. Choose the items you like best and enjoy this mad, sinister and yet incredibly fun character to the fullest.

If you are looking for group, couples or family costumes that match this villain, visit our Batman costumes, Harley Quinn costumes and Suicide Squad film costumes, so your group can steal the spotlight at any party you attend.

Only for wicked little clowns

If you are looking for a Joker costume for girls, or in other words, a wicked clown costume, you are in the right place. The Joker is the ultimate villain, Batman’s enemy, and now has his own film while continuing to gain more and more fans. The charisma and uniqueness of this character make him popular with boys and girls alike, and at Costumalia we have costume options for everyone.

Among our Joker costumes for girls, you will find more comfortable versions made up of a green and violet jumpsuit and a mask with which your little one will terrify everyone in her path. Other options include a jacket suit just like the Joker’s, complete with waistcoat, shirt and tie.

Whichever costume you choose, it is very important to pay close attention to the Joker make-up. There are three key elements on his face that will make the costume perfect:

The face painted white.
The eyes decorated with coloured diamond shapes.
His iconic smile, which simply has to be painted from one side of the face to the other.

The new film has been a success

Although every Joker film tends to go viral, this latest one has been one of the most talked about. The cast includes Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn and Joaquin Phoenix in the lead role as the Joker.
