It’s an exciting time to be a Doctor Who Cosplayer! The BBC just introduced the outfits that the Doctor and Ruby Sunday, played by Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson will be wearing! Here is everything you need to Cosplay as Doctor Who’s Ruby Sunday and where to shop.

The BBC and Disney Branded Television recently announced that they have joined forces to deliver the British series to future generations on an unprecedented scale with Disney+ as the exclusive home for new seasons of Doctor Who outside the UK and Ireland. Both partners have aligned under returning showrunner Russell T Davies’ bold vision, who takes control of the TARDIS in 2023. He was responsible for Doctor Who’s revival in 2005 and is credited with propelling the show into one of TV’s biggest hits.

How to Cosplay Doctor Who’s Ruby Sunday

Pam Downe has taken over as the Costume Designer for the series in this new era of Doctor Who. Downe does not have a prominent social media presence, so cosplayers @katiscreative @bourbonuniverse and @claracosplayer worked together to identify the key components of Ruby Sunday’s outfit.

The most recognizable items are the denim jacket, the belted navy shorts, and the cropped checked sweater. They are paired together with black sheer tights and black combat boots.

Retro Faux Fur Trim Zip-Up Denim Trucker Jacket

The jacket is the Retro Faux Fur Trim Zip-Up Denim Trucker Jacket by Levi. You can shop it on  Levi’s site while supplies last. 

A classic with a twist, the Retro Trucker Jacket is a cozy take on our original. Built with an extra-large collar and cozy faux fur lining, this one’s made to deliver extra warmth. This versatile staple combines the cool and the cozy all while keeping it authentically Levi’s®. A retro take on the original denim jacket with a versatile weight and deep inside pockets.

Style # A34870002
Color: Worn In Light Indigo – Light Wash

If it’s no longer available, try any light-colored denim jacket with a faux fur collar. You could even add faux fur to a denim jacket you already have in your closet.

Topshop Check Pattern Cropped Sweater

This sweater is no longer available through TopShop or its vendors. Production and costume design is usually done months before filming photos are released. Meaning that most items are no longer available off the rack. My recommendation is to shop sites like Poshmark, Depop, and eBay to find them being resold. But it never hurts to shop for something that’s close enough.

 This sweater was also seen recently worn by Tabitha Fos­ter (Quin­tes­sa Swindell) in Trin­kets (S01E08).

Navy Blue Belted High Waisted Shorts

The bottoms are most likely the Tommy Jean “Tommy Badge Belted Mom Shorts”. They won’t be available for a long. They feature a self-tie belt that lets you cinch in the waist of these mom-fit shorts.

There are plenty of close enough options for this type of shorts.

Black Sheer Tights

Readily available all over, Ruby Sunday wears black sheer tights.

Black Combat Boot

The boots have not been accurately identified as they don’t have a lot of distinguishing features.

Blonde Wig

Although not necessary for this cosplay, but always a fun addition, a medium-length wavy wig is always a fun addition.

New Episodes Will Premiere on the BBC and Disney+ in late 2023.
