6 Of The Best “Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey” Looks

The fashion looks in Harley Quinn’s “Birds of Prey” were more than stylish – they were an emblem of girl power, independence, and anarchy. Costume designer Erin Benach designed with the female gaze in mind – a focus on what women would want to wear, versus what men would want to see them in.

Inspiration ranged from comic books and street style to fashion editorials and runways shows. There has never been this level of fashion in a superhero movie before, and fashionistas all over are screaming.

Harley’s yellow feathered caution tape jacket

Ah, yes, the punk rock Harley look. It was full of chaos and beauty with its multi-colored aspects and billowing, fringed sleeves, but the highlight of this look was the integration of caution tape, which is a true statement of punk rebellion. The look was so cute, and so Harley – it’s almost as if she stole curation tape from a crime scene and made a DIY night out of it.

The see-through back was also an important detail, and the fact that she wore this look while blowing up Ace Chemicals and dashing through Gotham City just adds to the anti-establishment factor. Beneath it, a pink velvet halter top added a dose of funky femininity.

Harley in Marlyn Monroe dream sequence

Poor Harley was stuck in booty shorts for her Suicide Squad look, but luckily, she got to flesh out her fashionista side a little more. While Suicide squad mostly showcased black and red looks, these ensembles were more bubbly, utilizing plenty of glitz, glam, and sequins. Personally, we loved when she channeled her inner vixen during her interrogation with the Black Mask.

In a vivid dream sequence, she dresses like Marylin Monroe in a hot pink look and glove combination, combined with stunning diamond chokers and layered necklaces. Rather than wearing Marylin’s classic dress in the “Gentleman Prefer Blondes” reinterpretation, Harley rocks an updated version with pants. It would be hard to get all that butt-kicking done in a tight dress, to be fair.
