Look through these easy to follow costume guides to see how to look like your favorite characters from the popular Blade Runner franchise. The original movie starring Harrison Ford was based on the hit sci-fi book, “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” The Blade Runner series has gained much popularity among science fiction lovers especially with the recent revival of the sequel. The first film adaptation of Blade Runner debuted in 1982. Interestingly, though, the film did not see impressive numbers at the box office. However, the fanbase of the Blade Runner franchise grew over the years as a cult classic. From Rick Deckard and Joi to Officer K and Zhora, look like each of these favorite characters from the Blade Runner series.
Rick Deckard is the main character from the 1982 Blade Runner film. His character also appears in the second film, although much older. Deckard is a former police officer who becomes a blade runner. His fashion sense is still that of an undercover police officer, though. His 80’s “futuristic” Deckard costume still requires that unforgettable Rick Deckard shirt, Brown trench coat, and the classic Blade Runner tie. Although Deckard is the main character in the first film, he partners with Officer K on a new adventure in the 2017 sequel. Events of the movie reveal that Deckard had a daughter whose existence he didn’t know about.
If you’ve seen the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, you should know Officer K. Like Rick Deckard, Officer K is responsible for hunting and retiring rogue replicants. However, both blade runners have entirely different tastes when it comes to fashion. While Deckard’s look aligns to the typical cop appeal, Office K, played by Ryan Gosling, has more of a trendy swagger. In the 2017 film, Officer K is found wearing a pullover knitted sweater with a Shearling leather long coat. K struggles with determining if he genuinely is a replicant as he begins to remember past memories that do not seem artificially created.
In the latest Blade Runner sequel, Blade Runner 2049, Officer K is both a replicant and a blade runner. He partners with Rick Decker, the original blade runner from the first film, to solve a conspiracy about the Wallace Corporation. The Wallace Corporation has now taken over from the Tyrell Corporation. Blade Runner 2049 brings some additional characters to the popular Blade Runner franchise while still retaining some of your favorite characters.
Are you a fan of Rick Deckard’s original undercover officer look or the more trendy pullover knitted sweater and shearling leather coat worn by Officer K? No matter which blade runner you look like, cosplaying either character will be incredible! You can get all the help you need to recreate the look of your favorite characters from the Blade Runner series with these step-by-step costume guides. And if your favorite character is Joi, the holographic lover of Officer K, you don’t have to worry. We’ve got you covered a guide to help match her trendy, futuristic look.
