How to Dress Like Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill
Outfit
Start with the signature sailor-style white shirt featuring a navy blue collar and a bold red tie. Then, add a black and red pleated skirt that falls just above the knee for an edgy touch. On the bottom half of the outfit, complete the look with black stockings that have a fiery red line down the back and pair it with some black combat boots.
To complete the upper half of the outfit, slip on a red jacket with white lining and matching red gloves. The jacket should feature a large white star on the back that can be easily created with some white fabric or paint.
Sword
Of course, no Ryuko Matoi cosplay is complete without her trusty weapon – the Scissor Blade. You can buy a pre-made one or create your own using foam or other materials. Just make sure it’s silver with a red handle, and looks like a giant pair of scissors.
Hair & Makeup
When it comes to the hair and makeup, go bold with a short, spiky, bright red wig for that unmistakable Ryuko look. Keep the makeup natural, but add a pop of color with a bold red lip.
Accessories
For extra personality, consider adding a “Senketsu Eye” patch, a circular patch with the letter “S” on it that can be worn over one eye to match Ryuko’s companion Senketsu.
