How to dress like Amy Pond...

This is it! BBC America's ANGLOPHENIA blog (finally) posted one of the Doctor Who how to cosplay articles. This must be the moment every petrolhead wants to have their gal dress as Amelia Jessica Pond. It really is a big moment because BBC America ANGLOPHENIA blog finally told us HOW TO DRESS LIKE AMY POND. Let's read...

1: Hair – let’s be honest, if you needed me to tell you how to do this bit, you’d be fairly lost. But just in case: long and red, please. No bangs, but you can side-part the front and tuck it behind your ears. As with River Song, if you get the hair and the posture right, you’re basically there.

2: Jacket – a brown fitted leather number with elasticated cuffs and waistband.

3: Top – tight, short burgundy v-neck sweater, with a kind of crocheted neckline, under which Amy is wearing a washed out purple v-neck vest. If these are proving to be hard to find, and you have a big baggy red jumper, or a red plaid shirt (and tight blue jeans), or an open grey/blue plaid shirt with a black vest underneath, you could try those instead.

4: Below the belt area – Amy likes to get her legs out. So if you’ve got denim shorts or a denim miniskirt, dig ‘em out. And some sheer pantyhose, because you never know if it’s going to be cold in space (note: it’s ALWAYS cold in space).

5: Shoes – tan cowboy boots, although you can probably get away with Timberlands if you’re stuck. As I said, it’s all about the hair and the posture.

6: Accessories – a long burgundy scarf would be good. tan belt (if you’re going with the denim miniskirt), a small necklace and a gold bracelet. Heck, put a wedding band on too, if you really want to get in character.


It looks so composed. There's no drama out here but okay, we're thinking that it looked perfect that most people dressing as their favorite Doctor Who characters for the upcoming 2012 San Diego Comic Con. Speaking of which, there was a BBC America booth in that venue where Doctor Who stars, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, are here for some Q&A and more regarding the upcoming season and the program's 50th year.

Speaking of which, that gave me thinking...aside from having your gal dressed as Amy Pond for conventions, what else we can use? Oh yes! A petrolhead's dream come true! HAVE A GAL WHO DRESSED AS AMY POND TO POSE NEXT TO FAST CARS! Better!

Oh wait....you're making it KALADKAREN. You're thinking that Doctor Who's Amy Pond is definitely your very own Ridge Racer's Reiko Nagase with a million times more manageable. Still, I'm glad they've posted it about how to dress like Amy Pond from Doctor Who.
