Starfire Costume Guide
How to Dress Like Starfire from Teen Titans: Your Step-by.Step Guide
Starfire transports everyone right into the vibrant universe of the Teen Titans with her bold personality fueled by alien energy and a confidence that shines brighter than any gem! Her fiery orange-red hair, shimmery purple outfit, and captivating presence make her cosplay both unique and empowering. Whether you’re preparing for a costume party, convention, or just for fun, this guide will help you get the look that even the most dedicated fans admire.

Step 1: The Hair – Fiery Orange-Pink Locks
To achieve Starfire’s signature orange-red hair:
- Wigs or Dye: If you have long hair, consider dying your strands a bright orange-red shade. Or buy a pre-made wig for realistic one-time styling!
- Makeup: Don’t forget an orange foundation to match her fiery skin tone. Get creative with orange blush and eye makeup inspired directly tie-ins to her look.
Step 2: Creating Her Iconic Outfit
Here’s how to build Starfire’s unforgettable outfit:
- Base Colors: Orange-red hair meets shimmery purple suits!
- Top Options: Look for a purple crop top with silver embroidery or cleavage detailing — check stores like Hot Topic, Etsy, or Hobby Lobby.
- Bottoms: Don’t miss those uniquely stylish purple spandex shorts typical of her look, often paired with a matching ankle-grazing length. Again, search “purple spandex teen Titan costume pieces” and you’ll find what you need.
- Accessories!: Starfire often wears a shoulder piece or collar embedding a large green gemstone — these are typically available at most craft or costume stores.
Step 3: Supporting Details
Ready for the full transformation? Don’t skip these parts:
- Legs: You can keep your skin orange with orange tights (a retailer like Payless sells orange pantyhose, or for makeup mastery, grab orange body paint instead).
- Gloves: Understatement isn’t an option for Starfire — her gloves are usually purple-shimmERY silver mesh or long boots finish off her look. Search online or local costume shops for purple/nickel-hued options.
- Footwear: A lifelong alien princess, she steps in bold footwear. Her boots reach above the knee — purple-shimmery fabric boots are the way to go. You can even paint regular boots to match her iconic style!
Now you’re ready to shine!
