This guide will take you through how to cosplay Spider Gwen and everything you need to know to put together your costume.

How to Make Your Spider Gwen Costume

There are two options for the main part of your Spider Gwen costume - you can go for a full bodysuit, or a separate top and bottoms. Both look good, it really depends on your preference and where you source your costume.

The bodysuit has black trousers and a black section in the center of the top (it looks like a strapless black top). The rest of the torso is made up of white along with white arms and gloves. There’s also a white hood which can be worn up over your head or down depending on the look you’re going for. There’s pink detailing in Gwen’s spider web pattern on the arms and inside the hood.

The bodysuit is tight fitting, in keeping with her sleek style. Often ready-made Gwen costumes feature the bodysuit. Some people also choose to make the suit themselves or decorate a plain white bodysuit.

If you prefer your costume in two separate parts, you can buy a ready-to-wear Spider Gwen top or hoodie with the same details as the bodysuit. You’ll need tight black leggings or other skin-tight black trousers to pair with it. You can get these from anywhere - as long as they’re black and sit close to your body they will work.

• Decide whether you want to go for a bodysuit or a two-piece costume.
• Buy a ready-made bodysuit or source a top and tight black trousers.

Gwen’s arms and hands are covered in tight-fitting white gloves. If you choose to go for the bodysuit option, the gloves are often part of the suit. If your gloves don’t come with your bodysuit (or you’ve chosen the top and trousers option), you’ll need to add them yourself.

Any pair of tight white gloves will do, as long as they meet the arms of your costume and don’t leave a gap of skin showing.

• Gwen's lower arms and hands are covered with white gloves.
• If your costume doesn’t include them, source a pair of white gloves to add to your look.

To make sure she’s ready for action, our heroine wears blue flat shoes. They look like ballet pumps. In some depictions, they have fabric attached that ties around her lower leg. They’re a sort of teal blue color.

If you’re going for accuracy, source teal ballet pumps. However, the color and the fact that the shoes are flat is more important than the style. Some cosplayers opt for blue sneakers rather than pumps. You could even get some plain pumps or sneakers and dye them teal.

• Source flat teal shoes to match our character’s look..
• Alternatively, you could get inventive and dye some flat shoes teal.

Possibly the most iconic part of the Gwen costume is her mask. It’s white and covers her whole face, with pink outlines around her eyes - think like goggles or lenses. Not every cosplayer chooses to wear the mask, some opt for a wig instead (we’ll talk about that in the next section). However, if you do decide on the masked look, it’s a chance to get inventive.

Many Spider Gwen costumes come with the mask included. But you could also think outside the box and use face paint, or buy some pink glasses or goggles to mimic the look of the mask. You could even try to make it yourself if you’re good at crafts - there are some tutorials online to help guide you.

• Decide whether you want to go for the masked look.
• If you do, source a ready-made mask or get creative and mimic her mask.

If you decide to go for the unmasked Gwen look, then you’ll need to think about matching the character’s hair. Gwen has short blonde hair with dark roots, styled in a rough bob with quite a bit of texture. It’s shorter on one side with a slight undercut (meaning the underneath part is shaved).

This hairstyle can be quite difficult to mimic, so most people opt for a wig. Some wigs come pre-styled but you can also get a cheap blonde wig and style it yourself. Many cosplayers just go for the blonde hair and don’t worry so much about the style - it depends on how accurate you want to get.

• If you decide not to wear the mask, you’ll need to match Gwen’s hair.
• Buy a wig or get creative to style your hair if it’s short.

Top 10 Spider Gwen Cosplays

Before you decide on the specifics of your Spider Gwen costume, you’re going to need some inspiration. Don’t worry - we’ve got you covered with 10 of the best Gwen Stacy cosplays on the internet.

Krissi is an outstanding cosplayer, self-proclaimed comic book nerd, and model. Not only is she skilled at putting together cosplays, but her poses truly stand out from the crowd.

Check out her cosplay of our favorite heroine - the pose captures the character and her spider powers completely! Plus, we can only imagine the strength it took to balance like that while posing perfectly. She’s gone for the masked version of Gwen and pulls it off amazingly.

With expert makeup and wig-making skills alongside her ability to produce enchanting cosplays, Shirogane-sama had to be on our list! With all that talent, it’s no wonder she’s built such a large following on social media.

She’s chosen to go for an unmasked version of Gwen and it’s gorgeous! Her outfit is accurate down to the finest details. Given her expertise, it’s no surprise that her hair and makeup are on point.

Without a doubt, nonbinate had to be in our top five. This social media star, content creator, and cosplay genius nails their costumes and poses every single time.

The pose in this picture of their Spider Gwen cosplay is spectacular! We love that they’ve gone for an unmasked look. Their choice of dark eye makeup and statement lipstick match the vibe of the photograph wonderfully.

Hailing from Australia, we have Bianca Bella! She’s been cosplaying since 2012 and you can see her experience in the way she puts together her magnificent cosplays. She’s also a mental health advocate and chronic pain warrior.

We adore her pose in her Spider Gwen cosplay - she’s kneeling and ready to spring into action at any moment. She’s gone for the masked version of the character and it’s beautifully done. We even like that she’s gone for teal Converse instead of ballet pumps, putting her own twist on the outfit.

If you’re looking for someone who thinks outside the box and isn’t afraid to put their own spin on characters, Maid of Might Cosplay is where it’s at! Her real name is Jessica and she’s an incredibly talented cosplayer with a love of collecting comics.

Jessica has chosen to cosplay a punk version of Spider Gwen and it’s awesome! From the teal in her blonde hair to match the shoes, to the sleeveless denim jacket with studs - it’s a powerful depiction of our human arachnid.

Coming in at number six is Ashla's workshop. She’s an accomplished cosplayer with a love of cosplaying primarily alien characters. Although, she does portray other characters like Gwen from time to time. And she does it well!

We love that she’s picked an unmasked look for Gwen and chosen a slightly longer blonde bob. She’s even got a pink tint to the ends of her hair to match the pink in the bodysuit - stunning! But it’s the pose that makes this cosplay stand out the most, superbly capturing our Spider-Woman.

The modest Cyborg T-Rex claims that they simply love to play dress up, but we think that they’re a gifted cosplayer. Their social media channels display a range of beautifully put-together cosplays, with thoughtful props, backgrounds, and poses.

Their version of Gwen is no different - their pose balancing on a wall is in-keeping with the vibe of the character. The pink ends of their hair set off the whole look. We even love the more casual choice of teal sneakers.

Also known as Verena, vecosplays is a creative cosplayer who makes their costumes from scratch - how impressive! The love and effort they put into each outfit shines through in their social media content.

The fact that they made their own Spider Gwen costume, including the mask, is amazing! It’s constructed with precision and hours of hard work, right down to the hand-drawn detailing. It’s truly outstanding work!

We had to include digital creator and cosplayer Gabriela Azevedo. She’s known as sasamecosplay on her social media. With attention to detail and the occasional subtle spin on the characters she chooses, her cosplays are first-rate every time.

Like some of the other cosplayers on our list, she’s picked the unmasked Gwen look. But what makes her stand out is that she’s stuck with her natural brown hair rather than wearing a wig. Yet somehow, she manages to stay accurate to the character.

Last, but in no way least, is the gorgeous Skye Summers. She’s built a large following on social media as a cosplayer and creator on adult platforms. Check out her Instagram skyexsummers.

Her Gwen Stacy cosplay hits the nail right on the head. She’s got every detail down perfectly, including the makeup, the hair, and even the pose. We love how she’s chosen a powerful stance while looking away from the camera, showing us that Gwen is not to be messed with!
