Harley Quinn’s Holiday Special Costume From 2014 Comes to Life
What distinguishes this cosplay is its meticulous craftsmanship; Supervisor has authentically brought to life a design directly from Harley Quinn: Holiday Special #1 (2014), illustrated by notable creators Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Alain Mauricet, and Dave McCaig. By translating one of Harley’s most festive and unique costumes from comic pages to reality, she has achieved a look that is both striking and perfectly in sync with the season.

Much like her costume from the 2014 Holiday Special, Supervisor’s outfit channels a vibrant festive spirit. The centerpiece is a stylish long-sleeved bustier featuring Harley’s iconic red and black color scheme, enhanced by her signature diamond insignia—three red diamonds elegantly placed on the black section of the torso. Notably, the outfit’s white fur trim around the hips, neckline, and cuffs evokes a true Santa Claus vibe, reinforcing the holiday theme.
Adding a unique twist to her look is the Santa hat, reimagined with Harley’s flair. Instead of the usual solid red design, this hat is split, showcasing two cones—one red and the other black—topped with a fluffy white pom-pom. This clever design nods to Harley’s classic jester hood, skillfully merging her timeless aesthetic with a festive interpretation. Supervisor’s attention to detail elevates this cosplay, from the jingle bell-trimmed black collar to the mismatched red and black boots adorned with white fur, not to mention the iconic mallet—all elements that faithfully reflect the comic art that inspired such an amazing cosplay.

In true Harley Quinn fashion, Supervisor’s embodiment of the Gotham Siren expands beyond her impeccably designed costume, echoing the character’s hairstyle and makeup from this era in DC Comics. Supervisor gracefully reproduces Harley’s signature red and black hair that characterized her during the New 52 series, along with her trademark powder-white complexion and corresponding makeup. Furthermore, the festive Christmas backdrop adds an additional layer of enchantment, solidifying this cosplay as one of the most skillfully crafted and distinct portrayals of Harley Quinn to date.
