Raissa’s costume from Forgotten Island is built around a teal-and-purple windbreaker, a pink striped polo, fitted dark teal trousers, and oversized red glasses. Her very long black hair falls over the jacket, while gold hoops, a keepsake bracelet, and cream high-tops with pink laces finish the look. The bright jacket and red frames make a strong starting point even before you add every tiny charm.
This guide starts with her everyday jacket outfit and explains how to adapt the shopping pieces into a closer match. The jacket is a retro color-blocked base, the trousers need pink side trim, and the wig needs a lifted front sweep. Below, you can also choose the winged Nakali version, purple-tank jeepney outfit, childhood school uniform, or casual restaurant-visit look. A Jo-and-Raissa pairing section brings the two guides together with coordinated clothes and friendship bracelets.

More Raissa Outfits
The main kit builds the jacket outfit. These scene variations use the same red glasses and long hair, with different clothing or an extra pair of wings. Keep the looks separate so you only buy the pieces for the version you want.
Winged Nakali Outfit
Keep the jacket, striped polo and red glasses, then add purple batlike wings. Adventure images also show tears in her fitted trousers.
Purple Dragon Wings
A wearable purple-and-blue wing base. Its ridged shape and colors differ from Raissa’s green-framed wings; add lightweight green fabric edging.
Styling Tips & DIY Details
Use the main outfit beneath purple wings, keeping the collar and hair visible. A removable green edging brings the wing frame closer to the reference; distressed trousers are optional.
View DIY Details
Adapt the Wing Frame
Start with the wearable straps already supplied with the wings. Loosely wrap narrow teal-green fabric strips around the existing raised outer ribs, securing the ends with small hand stitches or removable ties. Keep the purple membrane visible. Do not add heavy clay spikes or rigid extensions that pull the wings backward.
Try the wings over the jacket before fixing the trim. Let the hair fall in front of the shoulders so it does not tangle around the wing straps. The pale claw shapes resting on Raissa’s shoulders in some images belong to the winged styling; soft foam pieces on the straps can suggest them, but they are optional.
Add Wear Without Ruining Your Leggings
For the torn adventure look, use an inexpensive second pair of trousers or removable fabric patches. Mark a few irregular areas near the thighs and knees while wearing them, then remove the garment before cutting. Stretch leggings can ladder, so avoid cutting your main pair just for one photo. Intact trousers still make a recognizable Raissa outfit.
Jeepney Selfie Outfit
Raissa swaps the jacket for a purple sleeveless crop top with pale edging and loose navy cropped trousers. Her red glasses and long hair keep the look recognizable.
Purple Cropped Tank
A fitted purple scoop/square-neck base. Add narrow pale trim around the neckline and armholes to suggest the reference top.
Navy Capri Trousers
Loose navy cropped trousers recreate the relaxed length. Choose a fit that is comfortable for a seated photo.
Styling Tips & DIY Details
Wear a purple tank with navy cropped trousers and red glasses. Add pale trim around the tank, keep the long hair loose, and bring Jo into the photo for the matching selfie.
View DIY Details
Add the Pale Edging
Use narrow white or pale-lilac stretch binding around the neckline and armholes. Pin it while the top lies flat, then baste and check the fit before sewing it permanently. Non-stretch ribbon can make the openings tight; reserve it for a loose top or a removable photo-only accent.
Let the top end around the waist rather than trying to reproduce a fixed amount of exposed skin. Raissa’s navy trousers are looser and shorter here than the fitted trousers in the jacket look. Fold the hems if your own pair is slightly long.
Coordinate the Selfie
Pair this version with Jo’s lime-and-mint striped tank and brown shorts. In the reference they sit barefoot on the jeepney, with Jo holding the camera and Raissa making a peace sign. Use a bench or parked prop backdrop for a similar photo, then wear your own comfortable shoes when walking around.
Childhood School Outfit
Young Raissa pairs a white sailor-style blouse with a colorful blue-and-pink layered skirt, a pale headband and oversized red glasses. Pink strap shoes complete the childhood look.
White Sailor-Collar Blouse
The navy-edged collar supplies the school-uniform shape. Simplify the large bow to a small blue tie; the blouse is an adult cosplay base.
Pink-and-Blue Tulle Skirt
Soft pink and royal-blue tulle gives a closer layered look. This adult tutu is brighter and puffier than the scene, with pointed rather than tiered edges.
Styling Tips & DIY Details
Wear the white sailor blouse with a soft blue-and-pink tulle skirt. Add red glasses, a pale headband, blue socks and pink strap shoes; keep the hair long and loose behind the shoulders.
View DIY Details
Style the School Blouse
Start with the short-sleeved white blouse and its narrow blue-edged collar. The shopping blouse has a large white bow; untie or remove it if its construction allows, then add a small blue ribbon tie. Tuck the blouse into the tulle skirt so the soft layers remain visible.
Get the Layered Skirt Look
The blue-and-pink skirt has a soft, tutu-like shape with uneven layers rather than crisp school-uniform pleats. The linked pink-and-royal-blue tulle skirt is a closer costume base, though its colors are brighter and its pointed strips differ from the broader layers visible in the scene.
Let the tulle hang naturally instead of adding a stiff petticoat. For a closer finish, tuck a few of the longest points inward and secure them with small hand stitches, creating a softer stepped hem. A blue tulle skirt you already own can also work with a few pink tulle layers sewn into the waistband; you do not need to buy two skirts.
Finish the Hair and Shoes
Wear long black hair loose behind the shoulders with a pale white or lavender headband and a small lifted front sweep. Keep the red glasses from the main kit. Blue socks and pink Mary Jane-style shoes echo the visible footwear. The shoes, socks and headband are supplied separately from the two clothing bases shown here.
For a childhood Jo-and-Raissa photo, pair this outfit with Jo’s white blouse, plaid skirt and homemade purple wings. Raissa does not wear the wings in this scene. The linked blouse and tutu are adult-sized cosplay pieces; choose appropriately sized clothing when making a costume for a child.
Casual Restaurant-Visit Outfit
This is Raissa visiting Jo at work: a fitted teal long-sleeved top, green trousers and a pink backpack. Jo is the one wearing the restaurant uniform.
Teal Ribbed Top
A fitted long-sleeved teal top gives the right simple base. The neckline and shade may differ slightly from the scene.
Pink Everyday Backpack
A pink-and-beige everyday backpack is a practical substitute. The reference bag is simpler, with fewer decorative panels.
Styling Tips & DIY Details
Pair the teal long-sleeved top with green trousers and a pink backpack. Retain the red glasses, long loose hair and charm bracelet; Jo’s bright work uniform makes the companion outfit.
View DIY Details
Keep the Layers Simple
Choose straight or gently wide green trousers from your closet. The scene’s clothing is quiet beside Jo’s red, yellow and teal uniform, so skip the windbreaker, wings and extra fantasy accessories. Wear the backpack on both shoulders or hold one strap near the collarbone for the pose.
The linked backpack has beige panels and more seams than Raissa’s plain pink bag. A simple pink school bag you already own is equally useful. Do not decorate it with film logos or invented patches just to fill space.
Keep the Friendship Detail
Leave one cuff clear of the friendship bracelet so the colorful cords and small keepsakes show. This everyday version is useful if you want a comfortable duo costume without building the larger Nakali accessories. Use practical shoes from your own wardrobe; the restaurant still does not establish an exact footwear choice.

How to Put Raissa’s Costume Together
1. Start with the Jacket’s Color Blocks
Wear the windbreaker open so the pink stripes remain visible. Raissa’s reference jacket has a dark teal-green body and sleeves, a broad purple shoulder panel, purple cuffs and hem, pale zipper edging, and bright lime cords. The linked jacket has a teal body, purple sleeves and a pink stand collar. It captures the retro palette, but the blocks are not in the same places.
For a closer version, start with your own teal zip jacket or add removable purple fabric panels to the shoulders of the linked one. Make paper patterns on the jacket while it lies flat, cut lightweight fabric slightly larger, turn the edges under, and baste them in place. Keep the zipper, pockets and stretch cuffs working. A narrow lime cord threaded through existing eyelets can suggest the drawstrings; do not punch holes merely for decoration.
2. Layer the Pink Striped Polo
Look for narrow pale horizontal stripes against a pink or berry background. Keep the short collar placket open beneath the windbreaker, with the collar visible above the jacket opening. The polo is lighter pink and has a white collar, unlike the darker berry top in the film.
To adjust only the most visible area, baste a berry-pink fabric cover over the collar. Match the shape with a paper pattern first and leave the shirt’s original neckline comfortable. You can also wear the polo as supplied: the stripes, jacket and red frames already do much of the work. Avoid covering the whole shirt with paint when a small collar change is enough.
3. Add the Pink Trouser Stripe
Use fitted dark teal trousers or leggings that end near the ankle. The official book artwork shows a bright pink line down the outer leg; some adventure images show distressed areas as well. Keep the base pair intact if you want the cleaner everyday outfit.
For a removable stripe, pin narrow pink stretch trim along each outside seam, try the trousers on, then baste it with a stitch that allows the fabric to stretch. Ordinary satin ribbon does not stretch with leggings and can pull the leg out of shape. If using non-stretch ribbon, attach it only to a relaxed trouser fabric. Check the line while standing and sitting before sewing it permanently.
4. Lace the Cream High-Tops
Raissa’s shoes in the friendship-journal artwork have pale cream uppers, pink laces, and a darker worn-looking sole edge. The linked beige canvas high-tops provide the basic shape. Replace their original laces with the pink pair and leave enough of the shoe collar visible below the trouser hem.
Measure your existing laces before choosing a replacement length. The patterned socks in the kit have a busier black-and-white design than the little dash marks in the artwork; show only a short band above the shoes. Plain white socks with a few short black fabric-marker strokes are another DIY option. Let any ink dry according to its label before wearing.
5. Shape the Hair Around the Red Glasses
Part long black hair slightly off center and lift the front into a broad side sweep. Keep the length loose in front of the shoulders instead of tying it into Jo’s high ponytail. Raissa’s hair sometimes forms sharper points at the crown in the winged scenes, but the everyday look works with a smooth, lifted front.
The listed wig is a long middle-part style without blunt bangs. On a wig stand, sweep the front section across, gently tease underneath if needed, and secure it with hidden pins. Follow the fiber’s instructions before using heat. Keep the red frames level and the lenses clear of hair. Prescription red frames or lens-free costume frames are both practical alternatives.
6. Finish the Wrist and Ear Details
Add thin gold hoops, a few woven bracelets, and a black watch on the other wrist. In the clear promotional artwork, the friendship bracelet is a cluster of colored cords and dangling keepsakes, not one large metal charm bracelet. The supplied bracelet set is a colorful starting point; select a few rather than wearing the entire pack.
Make tiny cassette, record, guitar-pick or photo-frame shapes from lightweight card or foam. Pierce a small hole and tie them to the cords with short thread loops. A little purple yarn creature and a painted eyeball-shaped bead can echo the close-up without trying to reproduce every miniature. Use clip-on hoops if preferred and keep the charms light enough that the bracelet stays comfortable.
Make the Outfit Your Own
A Simpler Closet Version
Use a teal jacket, pink striped top, dark fitted trousers, and your own pale sneakers. Prioritize the oversized red glasses and long black hair, then add a friendship bracelet and pink laces. Save the fabric panels, exact sock pattern and wings for a more elaborate version.
Try the complete outfit on with the jacket open and closed. Move the hair away from the zipper and shorten loose bracelet ties if they catch on the cuffs. A lightweight jacket is easier to keep on during an indoor event, while the striped polo carries the color scheme when you take it off.
The Details That Make It Raissa
Build a Bracelet with Your Costume Partner
Choose two or three shared cord colors, then give each bracelet its own small keepsakes. You might both use a cassette and purple creature charm, with one personal photo-frame or pick-shaped tab on each. The matching idea matters more than buying an identical pack of metal charms.
Keep the bracelet visible in photos by moving it just beyond the jacket cuff. Raissa’s poster shows her lifting the wrist beside her red glasses; that pose puts two of the most recognizable details together. Pair it with Jo holding the matching bracelet toward the camera.
Red Frames, Clear Lenses
Choose a broad top line and large rounded-square or aviator lenses. Dark red sunglasses hide the eyes and change the expression. The listed red frames have clear lenses; their exact shape is a practical substitute, not a replica of the animated design.
Black Hair with a Lifted Front
Keep the front sweep high enough to show the red frame and brows. Blue, teal and purple rim lighting in the artwork does not mean the hair needs to be dyed those colors. A natural black wig or your own long hair gives the clearest everyday interpretation.
Raissa Cosplay Ideas
For Raissa cosplay photos, leave the windbreaker open enough to show the pink stripes and keep the long hair in front of one shoulder. Lift the friendship bracelet beside your red glasses, or touch the frame with two fingers as in her character poster. That small pose brings the accessories into view without needing a large prop. Keep the cream high-tops in the frame when taking a full-length photo so the pink laces are part of the outfit.
A Jo-and-Raissa duo is easiest when both people choose the same scene. Match Raissa’s jacket outfit with Jo’s orange tank and painted overalls, or wear the purple-tank and striped-tank looks together for the jeepney selfie. Coordinate the bracelets with shared cord colors and a few personal keepsakes. The clothes should remain distinct: Jo has cropped wide denim and an upright ponytail, while Raissa has fitted trousers and long loose hair.
For a more elaborate Nakali version, add the purple wings to Raissa and the gem-and-shoulder-armor pieces to Jo. Keep the larger accessories removable so you can sit down and move through a crowd. Bring the two bracelets together for a close-up, then take a wider shot that shows the different hair shapes, jacket and painted denim. Choose the details that will actually be visible in your photos instead of adding more pieces just to increase the shopping list.
Raissa Halloween Costume FAQs
Find the right jacket, glasses, hair, shoes and friendship charms, then compare Raissa’s everyday, winged, jeepney, school and casual outfits.
Her main outfit combines a teal-and-purple windbreaker, pink striped polo, fitted dark teal trousers with pink side trim, cream high-tops, patterned socks, oversized red glasses, gold hoops and a friendship bracelet. Purple wings appear in the Nakali variation.
No. The linked windbreaker has a teal body, purple sleeves and pink collar. Raissa’s jacket has teal sleeves and broad purple shoulder panels. Wear the base as a simplified version, or use the jacket instructions to add closer fabric panels and lime cord.
The clean book-art look shows fitted dark teal trousers with a pink side stripe. Adventure references include tears. Dark teal stretch leggings are a practical base; blue denim is not needed for this version.
The friendship-journal artwork shows cream or off-white high-top canvas shoes with pink laces and a darker sole edge. Pink lighting can tint the uppers. Use one matching pale pair and change the laces rather than buying solid pink shoes.
A little black-and-white patterned sock shows above the high-tops. The shopping pair has a busier geometric pattern; plain white socks with small black fabric-marker dashes are a closer DIY option.
Keep it long, black and loose, with a lifted front section swept to one side. The wig in the kit starts with a center part and needs restyling. Natural long hair works too; blue scene highlights do not require a blue wig.
Her red frames are oversized, with a broad top and large rounded-square lenses. Choose clear lenses or empty costume frames, keeping the eyes visible. The selected aviator-style frames approximate the design.
No. Wings belong to the Nakali adventure version. Her jacket, red glasses, striped top and long hair are enough for the everyday look. The optional wing card explains how to adapt purple costume wings with lightweight green edging.
Braid purple, teal and green cords or start with the linked woven set. Add small card or foam cassette, record and pick shapes on thread loops. A purple yarn creature is an optional detail; the ready-made pack does not include the exact film charms.
A purple sleeveless cropped top with pale edging and loose navy cropped trousers, with red glasses and long hair. She is barefoot while seated in the reference; add your own shoes for walking around.
No. In the supplied restaurant scene, Raissa is visiting in a fitted teal long-sleeved top, green trousers and a pink backpack. Jo wears the red, yellow and teal uniform and chicken visor.
Coordinate the same scene: jacket and striped polo for Raissa with orange tank and painted overalls for Jo, or both jeepney outfits. Make two bracelets with shared colors and personal keepsakes. Use the Jo costume link below for her full shopping guide and matching variations.
Start with red glasses, a teal jacket, a pink striped top, dark trousers and pale sneakers. Add long loose hair and a friendship bracelet first, then pink laces or trouser trim if you want more detail.
Young Raissa wears a white sailor-style blouse with a soft blue-and-pink layered, tutu-like skirt, a pale headband and oversized red glasses. Blue socks and pink strap shoes finish the look. Use a layered tulle skirt rather than a crisp navy pleated school skirt; the suggested pink-and-blue tutu is a brighter, puffier match.
About Raissa
Raissa is one of the two lifelong best friends at the center of DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island, voiced by Liza Soberano. The studio’s synopsis introduces Raissa and Jo as high school graduates preparing to follow different paths. Their last night together takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious portal carries them to Nakali, an island filled with creatures from the stories they heard from their Filipino families. Their friendship is central to the adventure.
Raissa’s wardrobe gives the costume several clear visual anchors: oversized red glasses, long black hair, a colorful retro jacket and a bracelet crowded with keepsakes. Those details connect her different outfits even when the jacket is absent. This guide uses official promotional and licensed book artwork for the everyday clothing, with separate scene references for the wings, jeepney look and restaurant visit. The suggested products are ordinary clothing and costume supplies chosen as workable bases, with practical modifications explained where the available shape, color or pattern differs.
Duo Costume Idea with Raissa
Make a Jo and Raissa duo by choosing the same scene. Pair Raissa’s teal-and-purple jacket and pink striped polo with Jo’s orange tank and painted overalls, or use both relaxed jeepney outfits. Make two woven bracelets with shared colors and personal keepsakes; for Nakali, add Raissa’s purple wings and Jo’s gem and shoulder armor.
Jo Costume
Forgotten Island
Jo completes the pair with painted cropped overalls, an orange tank, a high spiky ponytail and colorful sneakers. Her guide includes the matching jeepney and Nakali outfit options.
