Rick Sanchez Costume Ideas

Hair:

Oh no, there’s absolutely no taming Rick’s wild up-do! He’s always sporting the ridiculous crazy mad scientist look consisting of unruly gray spikes in a shaggy cut. Not to mention the large caterpillar-like unibrow above his eyes, also gray. Rarely, if ever, has ol’ Rick been seen with his hair neatly combed. A wig is a good way to get this bizarre look, and it’s sure to stand out at any party or convention.

Outfit:

Like all mad scientists, Rick is rarely seen without his professional white lab coat. He wears a pastel turquoise shirt and brown pants underneath that, and of course his shiny black shoes and matching dark brown belt. He always goes for timeless clothes, but on some brief occasions he’ll try wearing other things. Despite his alcoholism and carelessness, there’s no denying that Rick Sanchez is a sharp-dressed man when it comes to his signature style.

What’s That Green Stuff!?

On Rick and Morty, Rick is rarely seen without weird green stuff dripping from his mouth down to his chin. According to the cartoon, the green is supposed to be vomit (ew!) but no Rick Sanchez costume would be complete without it. A green-colored Halloween makeup crayon is great for adding this grotesque but defining little detail if you’re planning on dressing up as Rick.

Face:

Being Morty’s grandfather, Rick is an elderly man. He has wrinkles on his face and bags under his eyes, which can be drawn on or mimicked with a rubber mask. Rick has had a long, interesting life, spending most of it deeply involved with scientific pursuits, but all work and no play has given him a strikingly old appearance! He often looks very angry or bored when it comes to his expression. Try practicing his facial emotions in the mirror to see if you can nail the perfect “Rick face”! He might be a jerk sometimes, but he can be a lot of fun.
