She made it herself
Screenfits earns a commission on some links below, at no cost to you. We choose the garments first and find where to buy them second — never the other way round.
A caution-tape jacket, a satin bomber, gold shorts, fishnets and roller skates. Every piece looks like she made it herself.
Erin Benach designed Birds of Prey around one governing rule: "We always wanted to create something that felt like Harley made it herself, so she's sort of a crafty person." The caution-tape jacket came from exactly that instinct — "we kind of took the idea of that caution tape and tried to repurpose it into a costume." Kate Hawley's earlier Suicide Squad version was a different design entirely.
Bright, printed or patched, oversized. Loud and clearly not matched to anything.

The jacket, shorts and boots are clothes you can buy and keep wearing. The two-tone hair is not, and without it the rest reads as nothing in particular.

The split has to be half red, half black — check the colour selector.
Nothing matches, and that's correct. Two clashing colours, one printed piece, one DIY element. The whole design brief was that she made it herself. The silhouette is short and layered: high-waisted shorts or a mini, fishnets or coloured tights, chunky boots, and something oversized on top — a bomber, a caution-tape jacket, a shrunken denim. Hair does a lot of the work. Pigtails with two different colours at the ends is the single most recognisable element, and it costs almost nothing. And add hardware without a theme: chains, a studded belt, mismatched bracelets. The rule is that there isn't one.
Post-breakup chaos couture: the caution-tape jacket, gold high-waist shorts, fishnets, chunky boots and mismatched everything on purpose.
The satin bomber with shorts, fishnets and boots — recognisable, buildable from real clothes, and it survives a party better than body paint.
Symmetry. Harley's styling logic is collision — matching earrings would be the only real mistake.
