Halloween is the perfect time to unleash your inner superhero. The classics like Superman and Batman are always a hit, but 2021 is all about Black Widow. After making an appearance in too many Marvel movies to count (Captain America and Avengers: Infinity War, to name a few), the super spy and assassin finally got a movie of her own, aptly named Black Widow. In the new release, Scarlett Johansson shared her spy duties with Florence Pugh — giving us two Black Widow characters to marvel at (pun intended).
Rather than going with another basic superhero costume this Halloween, honor the newest Marvel flick with of these DIY Black Widow costumes. Here, we've rounded up everything you need to nail Black Widow's classic outfit, as well as the all-white version she wore in the new movie. While we've listed a bunch of wallet-friendly items that you can buy on Amazon to pull together these looks, be sure to take a peek in your closet before you start shopping to see if you own anything Marvel-worthy. Although these homemade costumes are made with adults in mind, they can easily be tailored to kids: Dress your superhero-in-training in white or black leggings and a long-sleeve t-shirt, or try to your best to track down a kid's version of Black Widow's suit.
Now, step right into the Marvel universe with these costumes in three, two, one...
DIY Black Widow Costume
It only makes sense that the Black Widow wears all-black to stay under-the-radar. You'll look just as cool as she does when you show up at your Halloween party wearing a nearly-identical outfit — the official Black Widow patch included.
DIY White Black Widow Costume
If you prefer wearing white over black, go for an all-white bodysuit and canvas sneakers to blend in with the snowy surroundings (or pretend that's the case). Throw on a pair of fingerless gloves and an auburn wig to look just like the movie character.
