Best Kilgrave Halloween Costume Guide
Another character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the super villain Kilgrave, who is a simple yet effective cosplay option. Experimented on since his childhood to treat a neurodegenerative disease, his treatment gave him the ability to control people’s minds. With this power, he took Jessica Jones as a personal slave. By following this Kilgrave guide, you can get his complete look.
Cosplay Kilgrave’s look with a Black Dress Shirt matched up with a Classic Woven Purple Tie. Then, choose a Gray Button-up Vest worn beneath a Purple Suit. We accessorized with a Blue and Black Purple Pocket Square and a pair of Oxford Dress Shoes.

Kilgrave’s signature look is simple enough to pull off if you have the means and the desire to sell your look. Transform into the Marvel supervillain with a black collared shirt with a fitted vest. Both can be picked up in most department stores. Next, you’ll need a dark purple suit and a dark purple tie to match. These can be picked up in the same place as well. Accessorize with a pair dark dress shoes, which you probably already have. Add a coordinating pocket square if you’re feeling fancy.
For group cosplay, our first recommendation is naturally Jessica Jones. Other characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe like Daredevil, Doctor Doom, or Kingpin are also awesome options for a group cosplay effort.

About Kilgrave
There aren’t many kind things one can say about Marvel Comic’s Kilgrave. He is self-centered, unpleasant, and oblivious to the plight of others. Distasteful and spoiled, he is intelligent enough to survive daily life but only just. Selfish and cruel, he is used to having his own way and does not take “no” for an answer. Jessica Jones is the only one to truly stand up to him, which results in an obsessive love/hate relationship. Their relationship is based on his desire to bend her to his or kill her trying.
He has the ability to control the minds of others and uses this skill to serve his own wicked means. Fortunately for the world, Kilgrave’s vision is relatively small compared to what he’s capable of doing. This is largely due to everything being handed to him. He is the very definition of a spoiled brat, with a personality that is simply rotten. He is an ignorant, physically weak sociopath, whom without his special abilities, is as worthless as his actions.
