Ellie From The Last Of Us Costume Guide
Step-by-Step Guide: Dressing as Ellie from The Last of Us
Ellie—aka the one who says, “You saved my life, uh?”—inhabits the world of The Last of Us with infectious energy and unpredictable attitude. Ready to become the protagonist who runs through the zombie apocalypse with a backpack full of mystery? Let’s dive into how to channel Ellie’s gritty style, with an eye for survival and personality.
HAIR: That Messy Ponytail Effect
Ellie’s iconic hairstyle is all about authentic motion and struggle:
- Scar: If you’re feeling adventurous, add a scar on your right eyebrow by carefully cutting it with a razor or using craft-safe tattoo ink. But be careful—Ellie might inspire your best side-eye!
- Makeup: She’s not a perfectly kept doll. Use mud or dirt makeup, grimy finger smudges, and a few black streaks here and there to capture her weary but determined vibe. Want that “ripped from a video game” look? Got it.
OUTFITS TO LIVE ABDIEVE
Ellie comes in a couple distinct styles—get ready, these outfits are doing the apocalypse justice:
1. Saving Your Sanity with Tropical Underwear
The ultimate Ellie power combo—from survival horror to summery revival.
- Layers:
• Wear a dark blue long-sleeved t-shirt as a base.
• Layer a black tank top underneath for contrast depth. - The Tropical Touch:
• Take a red short-sleeved top and print out a tropical sunset pattern—no need for advanced graphic design skills.
• Tape it up, iron on, or paint it. That’s how you handle apocalypse fashion!
2. Neapolitan Sweatshirt Magic
For when you feel more like hunting变异生物than buying groceries.
- Find It? Well, You Can Too!
• Track down a sweatshirt with the distinct multicolor stripes (red, white, blue) mimicking a Neapolitancone.
• Spot one online? Make it yourself—yes, all day—independently. - Jeans & Chuck Taylors: Ellie knows her kicks—so do you!
• Pair with dark blue jeans that are a tad ripped (for that worn-out effect) and classic white or black Chuck Taylor ankle sneakers.
** More Than Just Gear: Ellie’s Backpack, Personified**
Why leave out the backpack? It’d be like attacking the zombie horde without a melee weapon! This is something to really sink your teeth into:
- Color Scheme: Deep blue or navy with subtle distressing. Camouflage splatteroptional!
- The Accouterments :
• Prosthetic hazard symbol—yes, one of the pins must be that classic radioactive hazard symbol emoji.
• Print out airplane wings or survival icons on fabric, then secure them onto the backpack with enamel pins—eccentric but practical.
• Include a small keychain with a purple creature—naturally, you can find these at gas stations or themed shops.
• Fill her pack with non-prop survival gear like headlamps, bottled water, AND flashlightswith blinking batery—is that I spy something?
Putting It All Together
You aren’t just dressing up as Ellie—Ellie is embodying a whole world of mystery, preparedness, and snarkiness. Perfectly captured, it can seem like a character with soul.
So roll up your sleeves (if you’re rolling). Grace your hair, layer your clothes, and make a playlist—apocalypse style! Ready to escape with survival Instincts?
