Whether your child is a fan of the Gwen Stacy who was Peter Parker’s love interest in The Amazing Spider-Man films or her more recent role as Ghost Spider in Into the Spider-Verse, this Spider Gwen Costume will help them take their Halloween up a notch.
The first thing that most people notice about Spider Gwen is her immediately memorable costume design. This look was a master class in the passionate marriage of graphic design and costuming.
The Suit
While Miles Morales stole the show in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, his love interest Gwen Stacy was a close second. Her adorable and fearless personality endeared her to all audiences. She is a preppy school girl at Brooklyn Visions Academy who loves to tinker with computer programs by day and helps Miles adapt to his spider powers at night.
While her suit is modeled after Peter Parker’s, it has its own unique twist. In her universe, Gwen is bitten by a radioactive spider instead of Miles and gains her own set of spider powers. Her suit design was inspired by that and focuses on stark contrasts with electric pops of neon blue and purple.
The result is a suit that is sure to stun everyone you meet this Halloween. Grab our adult Spider Gwen Costume and get ready to swoop into your next party to save the day! This women’s costume includes a jumpsuit, gloves and mask.
The Mask
Gwen isn’t your typical Spider-Man. In the comics, she was bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker and has super-hero powers as a result. She has a lovable personality and helped Miles Morales come into his own in the animated film Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.
Gwen wears a preppy school uniform at Brooklyn Visions Academy, where she meets Miles (and helps him adapt to his new powers). You can mimic her hallway look with a basic button-down shirt and sweater with a skirt and knee-high boots. If you want to add some of Gwen’s outdoor schoolyard style, a backpack or two is the way to go.
Gwen also wears a distinctive mask when she goes undercover as Ghost Spider. Designed by comic book artist Jason Latour, the mask is skintight and has a red base with yellow wings and an upside-down triangle on her forehead. It’s attached to a hood that has character sounds built into it.
The Gloves
Whether your child is dressing up for a Halloween party or going trick-or-treating with friends, they will be sure to turn heads in this costume. It will give them a chance to unleash their inner superhero and make the day brighter!
Marketplace Product Description
A child’s Spider Gwen costume wouldn’t be complete without these white gloves. They are made of poly jersey and feature a printed design of Spidey’s classic webbing. These can be worn on their own or with any other Spider-Man costumes for a complete look! One size fits most adults.
The Shoes
Many Spider-people have logos or motifs on their suits but Gwen’s outfit is notable for not having one. According to Latour this was a choice made in part to make it easier for other artists to draw her and also to emphasize Gwen’s moral ambiguity as well as her often adversarial relationship with law enforcement (a theme that would eventually lead to her new superhero name of Ghost-Spider).
The shoes she wears are black sneakers which, like most of the rest of her outfit, is influenced by her preppy high school look. She usually opted for Chuck Taylor’s but some alternate Gwens have worn shoes that appear more similar to the uniforms of her hometown basketball team, the Charlotte Hornets.
Whether you want to celebrate Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman or Ghost-Spider from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse this Halloween, it’s easy to pull together a costume that’s both stylish and comfortable. All you need is a hooded bodysuit, mask and gloves and a pair of black sneakers.
