Looking for a super Halloween costume, ladies? Marvel fans able to get their hands on a red wig are probably going to be The Avengers Black Widow. But you're more discerning. You want a character with even cooler hair, like white lightning. (And maybe some actual superpowers.) If you're on board with us, we've got the perfect idea for you— a Storm X-Men costume. To inspire some DIY Storm costume ideas, we're going to give you some inspiration for your Storm costume.
Black Jumpsuits Perfect for Storm
| Sexy Black Catsuit Costume | Secret Agent Plus Size Jumpsuit | Women's Black Longsleeve Romper | Women's Black Catsuit Costume |
X-Men's Storm has sported many looks over the years, but we can't deny the fact that she looks great in black. (And white!) A girl can never have too many outfits, and you're sure to look the part if you pair a black catsuit costume with a white wig. You can always use some silver or gold fabric paint and belts or patches with the X-Men logo to drive the point home.
Silver and White Wigs for Storm From the X-Men
| White Long Curly Wig | White Wavy Wig | White Wig with Bangs | White Long Wavy Wig |
Storm's high-contrast white hair is essential to her iconic look. She has sported both short and long-haired styles, including the mohawk. (We'd like to see other superheroes try that! Her hair is often depicted as being white, but in some cases, it takes on gray and silver tones. These white and gray wigs are all different, but they can all be used as part of your X-Men Storm cosplay!
Black Boots for Storm Costumes
| Black Over the Knee Boot | Sexy Black Boots | Black Goth Boots | Black Combat Boots |
Don't forget shoes. Storm should have some kickass black boots. You're probably wearing some right now, but just in case you don't have any, you could look at these, sexy knee-high boots or some combat boots if those are more your speed. Even some black buckled boots would be great for punk Storm cosplays.
Famous X-Men Storm Looks
Storm has been featured in a number of movies and X-Men tv shows along with plenty of comic books. Whether you prefer live-action Storm or any of her comic book or animated counterparts, you can take inspiration from her various outfits to make a Storm costume that's all your own creation.
Original Trilogy Halle Berry Storm

Played by Halle Berry in the "X-Men" trilogy, Storm has gorgeous silver/white hair, a cool superhero costume, and the power to control the weather. You can get the look with either a short silver wig or a long white wig with bangs, depending on which movie from the X-Men trilogy you prefer.
X-Men: Days of Future Past Storm

If you are looking for a short hair wig to match the newer Halle Berry version seen in X-Men: Days of Future Past, you can either use the short silver wig or take a longer-haired wig to cut and style to your liking. And if you don't happen to have a black leather jumpsuit just lying around... well, try this one on for size. It's technically a Black Widow jumpsuit, but you could just paint the buckle black and use a silver paint marker to make an "x", and no one would know the difference. Plus, next year you can get that red wig and recycle the costume for Black Widow.
X-Men: Apocalypse Storm

In X-Men: Apocalypse, it appears we meet a younger version of Storm. Played by Alexandra Shipp, young Storm rocks a silver mohawk and a more armored costume than the iconic jumpsuit with cape. Can we say we're digging the silver accents? (Any excuse to paint your fingernails silver is a good excuse!)
Dark Phoenix Movie Storm

Alexandra Shipp's Storm has a couple of new looks in the Dark Phoenix X-Men movie. While one of her costumes is an X-Men uniform similar to what the rest of her comrades wear, she does have another more modern black outfit. (If you ask us, it looks pretty comfortable and functional!) Storm is still rocking a short haircut, so you might have to style a wig for it.
Other DIY Storm Costume Tips

There are a few other steps you can take if you want your Storm costume to stand out. In the comics, tv shows and movies, when Storm uses her weather powers, her eyes go white, like so. You can easily get this look from some creepy white contact lenses. (Just make sure to do your research when buying colored contact lenses!) Storm has also been known to rock a cape, and you can, too! Check out all of these costume capes and you might find one that's to your liking. Whatever accessories you choose, you'll be sure to rock your costume party like a hurricane.
