Halloween Costume Guide
The inspector assigned to stop the heist who ended up joining it. The badge does all the explaining.
Raquel Murillo is the lead police negotiator assigned to handle the Royal Mint of Spain heist in the Netflix series Money Heist, who ends up falling in love with the Professor and eventually crossing to the other side, as documented on the Raquel Murillo Money Heist Wiki page. The grey blazer and police badge are what distinguish this costume from a generic professional outfit, without the badge, no one at a Halloween party will know which character you are. Recognition is strong among Money Heist fans; outside that audience, the costume reads as a sharp police inspector look.

The shoulder holster goes on before the blazer, not after. This sounds obvious but if you put the blazer on first, adding the holster over it looks wrong and fitting it correctly under the lapels becomes difficult. Get the shirt tucked, the holster adjusted, and the badge positioned before the blazer goes on. The blazer should sit open enough to show the top of the holster under the left lapel, that detail is what makes the costume read as a police inspector in the field rather than a businessperson. If the blazer covers the holster completely, the most character-specific visual element disappears. Raquel usually wears her blonde hair in a bun, which is both accurate to the character and practical for a long party night.
Raquel spent the entire Royal Mint heist negotiating with a man she did not know was also the person she was falling in love with in the park. She is calm under pressure and keeps her face neutral when she is working through something difficult. At a party, that reads as the person who notices everything and says less than they are thinking.
Holster Fit Before the Party
Put the shoulder holster on at home and wear it for thirty minutes before the event. Shoulder holsters that are not adjusted correctly dig into the armpit or slip off the shoulder when you move, and both problems get worse over a full night. Adjust the length of all four straps while standing with your arms relaxed at your sides. The holster should sit flat across the back and hold the pistol close to the left ribs without pulling the shirt out of the trousers.
Badge Placement Matters
The Cuerpo Nacional Policia badge needs to be visible at a glance. Clip it to the left side of the belt at the hip or attach it to the left blazer lapel below the holster strap. Tucked into a pocket or sitting inside the jacket means no one sees it until you pull it out, which removes the main recognition trigger from the costume entirely. Raquel is an active inspector on duty throughout the heist, the badge is always visible.
Money Heist Couple
Strong couple concept for Money Heist fans. The visual contrast is built into the show: the inspector in her grey blazer and badge opposite the Professor in his suit and glasses, the two people on opposite sides of the same heist who are also falling in love. Anyone who has watched the series will place the pairing immediately without any introduction.
Money Heist Inspector vs. Robbers
Strong group for Money Heist fans because the tension between the characters is the entire premise of the show. Raquel in her inspector outfit, Tokyo and Berlin in the red jumpsuit and Dali mask. The police uniform against the robber uniform is visually immediate and the group reads as a Money Heist theme without anyone needing to explain it.
TV Police Women
Conditional on the crowd knowing all three characters. Three female police investigators from three different countries and three different series: Raquel from Spanish Money Heist, Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU, Sara Lund from the Danish series The Killing. The concept connects through the archetype rather than a shared universe, which requires each costume to be specific enough to identify on its own.
Full Money Heist Squad
Conditional on everyone being a Money Heist fan and the group being at an event where the series has a strong following. Raquel in her inspector look alongside the Professor and two robbers in red jumpsuits creates a clear division of sides that reflects the show’s central dynamic. Works well at a themed event; requires explanation at a general Halloween party where not everyone has watched the series.
This is an eight-item build where three items carry the character recognition and five are standard wardrobe pieces most people already own or can substitute easily. The blazer, badge, and holster are the only things that need to be specifically sourced.
Raquel is calm, composed, and reads a situation quickly. She holds her own in a male-dominated environment without performing confidence, she just has it. That is a sustainable character to maintain for a full party.
The two essential items are the heather grey blazer jacket and the Cuerpo Nacional Policia badge. Without the badge, the blazer reads as a generic professional outfit rather than specifically Raquel Murillo. Add a classic fit oxford shirt, navy cigarette pants, a brown shoulder holster, a toy pistol, a reversible belt, and black slip-on loafers to complete the look. The full build runs approximately $100 to $180.
Money Heist remains one of Netflix’s most watched non-English language series globally and recognition among fans is still strong. Outside that audience, the costume reads as a sharp police inspector rather than specifically Raquel Murillo. The Spanish police badge is what makes the character specific, so keeping it visible is essential for recognition beyond dedicated fans of the show.
Raquel Murillo, also known by her alias Lisbon, is a Spanish police inspector in the Netflix series Money Heist. She is assigned as lead negotiator during the Royal Mint of Spain heist, where she unknowingly falls in love with the Professor, the mastermind behind the robbery. She later joins the gang for the Bank of Spain heist, operating under the alias Lisbon. She is portrayed by Spanish actress Itziar Ituno.
Raquel has blonde hair which she often wears tied in a bun. As a police inspector, she dresses professionally in blazers, dress shirts, and tailored trousers. Her look is practical and authoritative rather than tactical or military. The grey blazer and police badge are the two visual elements most associated with her inspector identity in the series.
No. The badge and shoulder holster together communicate the police inspector character without the pistol. Check local laws and venue rules before bringing any prop weapon to a Halloween event. The holster reads as a holster whether or not a pistol is in it, so the costume loses very little without the prop gun.
Yes. The minimum build is the grey blazer, the police badge, and the shoulder holster. Those three items create a recognizable police inspector look for approximately $60 to $90. The dress shirt, cigarette pants, belt, and loafers can all be substituted from your own wardrobe.
Raquel Murillo is her real name and her identity as a police inspector. Lisbon is the alias she adopts when she joins the Professor’s gang for the Bank of Spain heist, following the naming convention of the robbers who all use city names as aliases. This costume represents her Raquel Murillo inspector identity. The red jumpsuit and Dali mask represents the Lisbon alias.
