How to Make a Money Heist Halloween Costume
On Netflix's hit series La Casa de Papel (a.k.a Money Heist), the robbers wear a realistic Salvador Dali mask and red coveralls to hide their true identities.
Retailers like Amazon, eBay, and Party City have the exact Halloween costumes for sale right now. Here's how you can DIY the symbolic outfit.
When you think about Netflix's La Casa de Papel (a.k.a Money Heist), the first thing that likely comes to mind is the disguise the thieves wear on the series.
Throughout all four seasons, viewers have seen Tokio (Úrsula Corberó), Denver (Jaime Lorente Lopez), Nairobi (Alba Flores), Helsinki (Darko Peric), Rio (Miguel Herrán), Monica/Stockholm (Esther Acebo), Bogotá (Hovik Keuchkerian), Palmero (Rodrigo de la Serna), and Marsella (Luka Peros) don the realistic Salvador Dali mask and bright red overalls to hide their true identities. And back in season 3, The Professor/Salvador "Salva" Martin (Álvaro Morte) also wore the disguise for a hot second.
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 says. As the show nears its fifth and final season, we're holding on to the signature look now more than ever.
When Dali was alive, he created a lot of his work during Zurich's Dada movement, which—according to the Tate—took place in the early 20th century and was about rejecting the modern capitalist society.
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.
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.
