Perhaps the most interesting characteristic of the Joker’s costume was its quintessentially Victorian inspiration: shirt and tie, high-waisted trousers (supported by suspenders), waistcoat, and tailcoat (also called a “dress coat”). The Joker movie staring Joaquin Phoenix offers a new version of a Joker costume which is perfect as a fancy dress or halloween costume. It is also a fantastic cosplay idea which is easy to make yourself. Joker Costume – Joker The brilliant Ed Harris plays NASA’s flight director Gene Kranz in the film Apollo 13, throughout which he wears a white waistcoat. The real life Kranz did indeed wear waistcoats. In fact they became his trademark, not least because his wife Marta made them for him.

I suggested a vest… There were three Mission Control teams—red, white and blue—and Gene’s was the white team, so his vests were always white.”

Under the waistcoat you will need to wear a shirt. This shirt should have be buttoned all the way up including the collar. Makeup is an essential part of the Joker costume. While replicating the makeup may seem daunting it is actually quite easy to copy.

To replicate this style you will need a simple formal suit which should be red in color. You will undoubtedly find a red suit easier online than in a shop. There’s also something about a Victorian-style costume that seems to lend itself to eccentric characters, perhaps with a touch of timelessness about them, so in my opinion, going Victorian with the Joker’s costume in Batman was a great artistic decision – especially considering the somewhat ambiguous time period during which the movie was set.

These shoes should be lace-up shoes which should be a light brown. The shoes worn by Joaquin Phoenix have a dark brown toe. When he's not busy crafting imaginative costumes, Doc Cotton loves nothing more than a good party. He's the one who knows how to turn any gathering into a memorable event, infusing it with fun and excitement. When Arthur transforms into Joker, his guise is driven by his past. “As Arthur progresses, we made little movements toward darker colors in his wardrobe right before he becomes Joker to echo what goes on emotionally for him in the story,” Bridges says. Kranz would wear a new waistcoat on the first shift of every mission he took charge of.
