DIY COSTUME ITEMS
For a fun and easy “Risky Business” costume, here’s what you need:
- Button-Up White Shirt
A classic loose-fitting white button-up shirt is key to nailing the iconic look. The shirt should be oversized and long enough to cover a good portion of your legs. - White Briefs
Underwear is important for the minimalistic look. White briefs are a must, as this is the main lower half of the costume. Make sure they fit comfortably and snugly. - Crew Socks
Mid-length white crew socks finish the outfit. These are crucial for the scene where you slide across the floor, so be sure they’re a good, thick pair. - Gold Candleholder
A gold candleholder can serve as a prop to hold while you dance and lip-sync along. The prop gives you that extra detail to mimic the iconic scene. - Black Magician Stick
Joel carries a black magician stick as part of this distinctive scene, adding a fun and playful twist to the outfit.
For an alternative version of the costume (when dressed fully):
Costume 1: Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise) “Risky Business” Sunglasses Look
- Gray Blazer
A simple, slightly oversized gray blazer to create a casual yet stylish appearance. This is worn over a t-shirt for a relaxed look. - Black T-Shirt
A plain black t-shirt underneath the blazer keeps it cool and effortless. The shirt should be fitted, not too loose or baggy. - Blue Jeans
Classic blue jeans complete the outfit. A straight or slightly fitted style works best to stay true to the look. - Black Sunglasses
The iconic black sunglasses are essential for this outfit, representing the laid-back and cool demeanor of the character.
Costume 2: Lana (Rebecca De Mornay)
- Pink Striped Long-Sleeve Shirt
Lana wears a fitted long-sleeve shirt with horizontal pink and gray stripes. Choose a top with a similar color scheme and tight fit. - Jean Shorts
The striped top is paired with a classic pair of jean shorts. High-waisted, slightly short cutoffs work best for recreating her casual look.
Costume 3: Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise) – Polo Look
- White Polo Shirt
For a more preppy look, Joel wears a white polo shirt with light stripes. The polo is fitted but still relaxed for that quintessential 80s look. - Blue Jeans
Basic blue jeans again are the go-to for this version of Joel’s style. A straight-leg or regular fit will work best.
Tips:
- If you want to match the party look or some group elements, casual tops and jeans with 80s vibes will blend perfectly with the overall theme.
