Browse through all of the Austin Powers character costumes and cosplay guides. The 1997 spy comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, written by and starring Mike Myers, sent a groovy 1960s agent into the modern day to take on the villain Dr. Evil. You can dress as Austin Powers in his blue velvet suit and thick-rimmed glasses, or as Dr. Evil with a bald cap, a grey suit and his white Persian cat, plus Fembot, Mini Me and Mustafa for a full group. Every guide breaks the look down into a simple kit list of suits and accessories you can shop for a Halloween party.
Austin Powers is the swinging International Man of Mystery, and his look is a groovy 1960s spy in royal blue velvet. A Blue Velvet Costume Set delivers the jacket, trousers and frilly cravat, while a Brown Mop-Top Wig and thick Black Framed Glasses nail the face. Add Groovy Costume Teeth for the grin, a silver male-symbol necklace and black Chelsea boots, and the whole kit reads instantly at a Halloween party, a 1960s night, a spy-themed event or a full group Austin Powers theme.
Dr. Evil is Austin Powers’ arch-rival, a bald, cat-stroking supervillain in a sleek grey suit. The Dr. Evil Costume covers the grey suit and shirt, and a Bald Cap Complete Kit with a grey eyebrow pencil and modelling scar wax builds his signature look. Finish with a silver pyramid band, white Oxford shoes and a white Persian cat to hold, and you have one of the funniest villain costumes going for a Halloween party, a group theme, a spy night or a movie-themed night out.
Austin Powers cosplay is all about the 1960s spy silhouette and one or two signature props. Every guide here breaks a character down into clothing, wigs or bald caps, makeup and accessories you can buy or put together yourself, so you never need a full packaged costume. Want Austin Powers’ blue velvet suit and thick-rimmed glasses, Dr. Evil’s bald head and white cat, or a Fembot, Mini Me and Mustafa for a full group? Start with the two featured characters, then browse the full grid for the rest of the cast. Add the glasses or the cat and you are set for a Halloween party.
Answers to the most common questions about Austin Powers costumes, from which characters to dress as and what each look needs, to wigs, bald caps, glasses and props.
Austin Powers and Dr. Evil are the two most searched characters from the films, and Dr. Evil drives the most traffic to this site. Austin’s blue velvet suit and thick-rimmed glasses and Dr. Evil’s bald cap, grey suit and white cat are the two looks people recognise instantly, and both work as a solo costume or a villain-and-agent pair.
You need a blue velvet costume set for the jacket, trousers and frilly cravat, plus a brown mop-top wig and thick black framed glasses. Add groovy costume teeth, a silver male-symbol necklace and black Chelsea boots, and the whole International Man of Mystery look comes together from shop-ready pieces.
Start with a Dr. Evil costume for the grey suit and shirt, then add a bald cap kit, a grey eyebrow pencil and modelling scar wax for his bald, scarred head. A silver pyramid band, white Oxford shoes and a white Persian cat prop complete the supervillain, and the look needs no wig.
Yes, and it is one of the easiest movie group themes to assemble. Pair Austin Powers with Dr. Evil, then add Mini Me for the classic duo, a Fembot in pink, or Mustafa in a grey suit and fez to build a full villain-and-henchmen set; each guide is built from separate pieces, so everyone can shop their own list.
It depends on the character. Austin Powers needs a brown mop-top wig, while Dr. Evil and Mini Me both use a bald cap. Fembot wears a blonde bouffant wig, and Mustafa is fine with his own hair under a fez. A wig or bald cap is the fastest way to read as the right character, so budget for it first.
The small props are what sell these looks. Austin’s thick-rimmed glasses and frilly cravat lead his costume, Dr. Evil carries a white Persian cat and wears a silver pyramid band, Fembot brings pink feather trim, and Mustafa wears a fez. Glasses and a cat are the two single props that instantly place a costume in the films.
Yes. The guides are written for adults, but Mini Me is a small character with a child-sized grey suit and bald cap, so a shorter cosplayer or a child can wear that look easily. Almost every adult piece has a kid-friendly equivalent, and a mini Dr. Evil beside an adult is an easy parent-and-child theme.
Most Austin Powers costumes are worn over ordinary clothing, and the velvet set, grey suit or fembot dress does the character work on its own. Keep layers light, choose a plain shirt or vest under a suit, and add dress socks with the boots and Oxford shoes so the finished look stays sharp for a long Halloween night.
Austin Powers costumes suit Halloween parties, 1960s and decades-themed nights, movie and fancy-dress parties, and any group event where friends want to match as a spy and his villains. The suits, glasses, bald caps and cat prop travel well, so they work as easily at a house party as they do at a themed night out.
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is a 1997 spy comedy directed by Jay Roach and written by Mike Myers, who also stars as both the hero, Austin Powers, and his nemesis, Dr. Evil. A parody of James Bond and 1960s spy films, it follows Austin, a British secret agent frozen in 1967 and thawed out in 1997, as he adjusts to a changed world and foils Dr. Evil’s plan to hold the world ransom. Released by New Line Cinema, it launched a trilogy with The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Goldmember (2002), and became a cult favourite for its catchphrases, fembots and Dr. Evil’s white Persian cat.
