  How cool is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, that shallow cheerleader turned savior of the innocent? She fought vampire and demons without ever losing her sense of style. Buffy went through a few phases, a few changes and few alternate universes, but whichever Buffy you choose, the key to distinguishing your costume from just any hot girl psycho is the blond hair, the cross necklace and the weapons.
  
  

Standard Buffy

• For your standard Buffy costume, wear a black, white or pink tank top, tight black pants or jeans, and cross necklace. Wear your hair down, parted slightly to one side or wear a wig. For props, make a wooden stake or get a plastic battle ax from a costume shop. A crossbow would also look great. If it is chilly, wear a long blazer in a pastel color.
  
  

Alternate Universe Buffy

• This Buffy wore camouflage pants, combat boots and an army green tank top. Draw a scar from just above one eye to the cheek.
  
  

Movie Buffy

• Wear tight pink or purple leggings, yellow tank top and a short, sleeveless green hoodie. Tie a black letterman's jacket around your waist. Finish with white socks and white shoes. Carry a bloody wooden stake.
  
  

Cheerleader Buffy

• You will need a yellow cheerleader skirt trimmed in blue, short yellow cheerleader sweater, white socks and white sneakers. Carry a blue pom-pom in one hand and a stake in the other.
  
  

Risen From The Dead Buffy

• Wear a short, long sleeve black dress, torn black hose and black shoes. Cover yourself in dirt and bloody your hands.
