Barb Holland Cosplay Costumes

Do you want to make a statement as the quirky and lovable Barb Holland? Well, these are the items you’ll need to create a costume that’ll have everyone talking about you in a positive way, that is until you disappear into the woods later in the night with a few friends. While Barb isn’t in the show long, you can always cosplay here with her best friend Nancy by her side. If you’d like to get really unique, have a friend cosplay as one of the monsters that took her away. Barb is someone with a unique and rather vintage sense of style and if you want to replicate that, you’ll need a few key pieces such as straight leg boyfriend jeans, a plaid ruffled shirt, a white watch and suede moccasins with brown reading glasses. If you don’t have her appearance quite down pat, it may help to find a red wig and blue contacts. You can also find a few tutorials online to create a face full of cute freckles and soon you’ll be looking like Barb in no time at all with this costume!

About Barb Holland

Barb Holland is the best friend of Nancy Wheeler in the show, Stranger Things and even though she isn’t on screen for very long, she definitely makes an impression with the time she is on. She’s your stereotypical awkward character but she has something about her that has made her quite the fan favorite. She’s obviously the grounding force in her best friends life and she has a good head on her shoulders. She only shows up a handful of times in the first few episodes before she ends up disappearing though. The other characters don’t seem too worried with her disappearance, brushing it off as if she just ran away. The only one who seems to give any thought to where she might have gone is her best friend, Nancy. All in all, she’s a character that truly represents how many of us felt during our time in high school.
