Major is a human-cyborg hybrid played by Scarlett Johansson in the 2017 film Ghost in the Shell, where she leads Section 9. Her incognito bomber outfit is a cool change from sci-fi armor: practical, low-key, and instantly recognizable thanks to its gray-and-olive jacket with a bright orange opening edge.
To put the look together, wear the bomber open over a full-length gray ribbed tank, tuck the tank into fitted matte black leggings, and finish with black lace-up combat boots. The inspired jacket is brighter gray with coral-orange lining, not an exact screen-used replica, but its olive details and orange edge do the recognition work. Add a choppy black bob with separated, uneven bangs. For another take on the character, compare this live-action version with Motoko Kusanagi, or browse Ghost in the Shell costumes for more franchise ideas.

Major (2017) Cosplay Ideas
Put on the charcoal ribbed tank and tuck it smoothly into the black leggings. Keep the waistband comfortable and avoid bunching the tank around your hips. Pull the leggings down to their full length so their ribbed panels stay visible, then lace the combat boots firmly enough to support your ankles. Check the trouser hems sit neatly at the boot tops before adding the jacket.
Wear the bomber open to reveal the gray tank, orange opening edge and quilted olive front panel. Let the long ribbed cuffs sit at your wrists and keep the collar upright enough to show its olive color. Check the jacket shoulders allow you to reach forward comfortably. The contrasting panels provide the strongest visual cue, so keep bags and other accessories from covering the front.
Set the bob wig around chin length, with its longer side pieces framing your jaw. Separate the bangs into a slightly uneven fringe using your fingers; check the view from both sides before making any optional trim. Your own short black hair works if it already has the right shape. Finish with a relaxed, purposeful stance and keep your hands free, matching the hallway reference. The complete outfit is designed to work through its clothing and hairstyle.
Major (2017) Halloween Costume FAQs
Got questions about putting Major’s bomber outfit together? Here are a few quick tips.
Keep the gray-and-olive bomber open so its orange edge and the gray tank show. Pair it with the short black bob and fitted dark trousers.
Leave the front open, straighten the quilted olive panel, and let the long ribbed cuffs sit at your wrists. Avoid accessories that cover the colored panels.
A gray ribbed tank, fitted black leggings and black lace-up boots can come from your closet. The distinctive bomber and bob provide the strongest character cues.
Keep it near chin length with separated, uneven bangs and longer strands beside the jaw. Check both sides before trimming; your own short black hair can also work.
No. Major is unarmed in the selected hallway and laboratory references, so the clothing and hairstyle complete this particular look.
About Major (2017)
Major, played by Scarlett Johansson, is the human-cyborg lead of the 2017 live-action Ghost in the Shell. She works with Section 9, and the film explores the relationship between her human identity and artificial body. This guide selects her bomber-jacket appearance, giving fans a distinct alternative to the film’s armored uniform and thermoptic suit.
The original costume’s charcoal jacket combines olive panels and ribbing with an orange opening edge. A gray tank, fitted black trousers and black boots complete the outfit, while her short black bob keeps the character recognizable above the collar. The selected hallway still shows those layers together, and the separate laboratory image shows the same jacket from the side. Those references keep the guide focused on one coherent screen outfit and make the front panel, cuffs and collar easier to compare.
