Buffy the Vampire Slayer Costume/Cosplay Ideas: Buffy’s Iconic Red Leather Looks (& My Buffy Costume)

October 3, 2019 By Penny

Buffy’s Red Leather Pants Look (Graduation Day Part 1)

Buffy had a lot of different styles over the seasons, but her red leather looks are some of the most iconic, so they’re a perfect idea for an easily recognizable Buffy costume or cosplay. They also scream late 1990s/early 2000s to me (I had some similar pleather pants I rocked back then too), and the ’90s/’00s are back in style right now, so items for these costumes could also be worn as fashion pieces–win win!

To get Buffy’s look from Graduation Day Part 1, you’ll need red faux leather pants, a black boat neck tank top, a black faux leather jacket, and black boots.

Check out the photos below for ideas, and also check out my Buffy Inspired Style board on Pinterest for more options. (The product photos/links are affiliate links, meaning I may make a commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you, which helps support this site.) You may be able to thrift some of these pieces as well.

Buffy’s Red Leather Trench-coat Look (Graduation Day Part 2)

In Graduation Day Part 2, Buffy wears a similar red and black leather outfit–to emulate this one you’ll need a red faux leather jacket/trench coat, black faux leather pants, a black boat neck top, and black boots. Hot Topic has a red Buffy trench coat (the one I’m wearing), and also check out all of the options below and on my Buffy Pinterest boards.




Throwback: My Buffy Costume

And now for a throwback to 2014, when I dressed up as Buffy for Halloween!
For my costume, I thrifted the black tank top and jacket, and I got red faux leather pants (the ones I got are no longer available), a silver cross necklace, and a Claddagh ring from Amazon, and Luke made me a wooden stake. In the Graduation Day episodes, Buffy isn’t actually wearing a cross necklace or carrying a stake, but I wanted to add some extra Buffy touches to make sure people recognized me while I was out.


That year Luke and I also carved Buffy and Spike pumpkins! (We got the patterns from Zombie Pumpkins if you want to make some too.)
Have you ever cosplayed/dressed up like anyone from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Who is your favorite character? Let me know in the comments!
