When you think about Netflix's La Casa de Papel (a.k.a Money Heist), the first thing that comes to mind is likely the disguise the thieves wear on the series.
Throughout the show, Tokio (Úrsula Corberó), Denver (Jaime Lorente), Nairobi (Alba Flores), and more members of the Professor's crew don the Salvador Dalí mask and bright red overalls to hide their true identities. Back in season 3, The Professor/Salvador "Salva" Martin (Álvaro Morte) also wore the disguise for a moment.
What some might not realize is that the costume actually serves as a symbol of the show's theme—resistance towards the system, as the Professor puts it. When Dalí was alive, he created work during Zurich's Dada movement, which, according to the Tate, was about rejecting modern capitalist norms. The red color of the coveralls has also historically symbolized resistance, worn by revolutionaries as they were rising up to overthrow their governments, according to the Google Arts & Culture Center.
As the show nears its fifth and final season, pay tribute to its signature look by recreating it as a Halloween costume. Whether you choose to wear it as a couples costume, sport it with your bestie, or go it alone like the true renegade you are, below is exactly what you'll need to execute a Money Heist homage this Halloween. If you think you'll get more use out of a red onesie than coveralls, you can also sub those out for cozy pajamas or opt for a matching red hoodie and sweatpants. Oh, and we also included a wig that'll have you looking like Tokio, too. When Halloween is done, think of the costume as a Money Heist-themed gift to yourself.
Those of you who have a sewing machine (and are willing to use it) may want to go the DIY route. There are homemade options for you, too. Get that red fabric ready. You're going to need it.
Feeling especially creative? Artists have even devised ways of creating Dalí-inspired makeup. Follow along on a tutorial and the next thing you know, you'll be heist-ready.
