Dress as Juleka Couffaine with a black lace-sleeve blouse, purple ripped leggings, and a long purple-and-black wig for Halloween 2026.
Long purple and black wig (essential)
Black lace sleeve blouse (essential)
Purple ripped leggings
Fingerless lace gloves
Red colored contact lenses
Black sneakers
Juleka Couffaine plays guitar in her friends’ band and rarely speaks above a mumble in class. The long wig that fades from black to violet at the tips is the one piece that makes the costume read as her instead of a generic goth look. She is not one of the most searched Miraculous Ladybug characters, but her hair and gothic wardrobe are easy to spot at any fan gathering.
Juleka Couffaine Costume Shopping List
1Black Lace Sleeve Blouse (essential)Juleka’s top has short lace sleeves and a swan-neck collar with a dark blue lined edge, details most plain black tops don’t have. Look for a fitted black top with sheer or lace sleeve trim, since a plain crewneck reads as generic goth instead of her specific look.Shop
2Purple Ripped LeggingsPick leggings with slits or rips above the knee to match her design. Plain black leggings work in a pinch, but the rips are what sell the detail.Shop
3Long Purple and Black Wig (essential)Juleka’s hair runs past her waist and shifts from black to violet at the tips, a gradient that’s hard to fake with a home dye job. A pre-styled long wig gets the length and color right in one piece and protects your own hair. Choose one with loose waves rather than straight strands, since her hair looks a little undone.Shop
4Fingerless Lace GlovesThese add the diamond-pattern lace detail she wears on both hands. Any black fingerless glove with a lace or mesh pattern reads correctly from a few feet away.Shop
5Red Colored Contact LensesHer canon eye color is closer to copper brown, so these push the look toward a more dramatic, Reflekta-style version. Skip them if you’re not comfortable wearing colored contacts for a full night.Shop
6Black SneakersHigh-top black sneakers with white soles match her usual shoes. Check your closet first, since black sneakers you already own will likely work.Shop
How to Style the Juleka Couffaine Look
The long purple-tipped wig is what people spot first, since black hair with violet ends is unusual and signals which character you’re going for right away. Swap the swan-neck lace top for a plain black shirt and the look reads as generic goth instead of Juleka specifically. The ripped purple leggings and black high-tops keep the outfit grounded in teenage streetwear instead of face-paint costume territory. Red contacts are optional, but without them some people at a party may read you as a generic character instead of a specific Miraculous Ladybug one.
In the episode “Reflekta,” Juleka gets so upset about being locked out of her class photo that she is akumatized into a villain who turns everyone who notices her into a copy of herself. That story is worth knowing before the party, because Juleka’s whole personality is built around feeling unnoticed even when she’s standing right there. She mumbles more than she talks, avoids eye contact, and only opens up around people she already trusts, like her girlfriend Rose or her brother Luka.
Tip: Practice Quieter Body Language
Juleka rarely makes direct eye contact and mumbles when she does speak. Lowering your voice and glancing away during conversations sells the character more than the outfit alone.
Tip: Keep a Reference Photo Handy
Juleka isn’t one of the show’s most recognized characters outside the fandom. Having a photo ready on your phone saves you from re-explaining who you are all night.
Costume Ideas Alongside Juleka Couffaine
Couples Idea: Rose Lavillant
Excellent pick since Juleka and Rose are a canon couple in the show, so the pairing reads correctly to anyone who watches the series. Her purple, gothic styling contrasts against Rose’s pink and floral look, so the two costumes stay visually distinct standing side by side.

Duo Idea: Luka Couffaine
Strong sibling option since Luka is Juleka’s actual brother in the show, and his blue-tipped hair mirrors her purple tips without looking identical. It works best at a party where people already know the source material, since a stranger might just see two people with dyed hair tips and miss the sibling reference.

Group Idea: Miraculous Ladybug Core Cast
Excellent for a full class group since Marinette, Alya, and Adrien are the show’s other most recognized students, and adding Shadow Moth, the show’s main villain, gives the group a hero-versus-villain dynamic. This needs at least four people committed to full looks, or the reference gets diluted fast.
Group Idea: Goth and Alternative Animated Teen Girls
Might work, but this concept relies on everyone reading as “animated goth girl” rather than one specific show, so casual guests may just see dark makeup instead of a coordinated theme. It works best at conventions or media-literate parties where guests can name-check Teen Titans, Wednesday, Daria, and Danny Phantom on sight.
Dye the tips of a long black wig with purple hair chalk instead of buying one pre-dip-dyed. It’s cheaper, and chalk washes out after one wear if you want to reuse the wig for something else later.
Cut small diamond shapes from black lace ribbon and pin them to plain black gloves instead of buying gloves already patterned. Skip this step entirely if you can’t find lace ribbon nearby, plain black gloves still read fine from a distance.
Use nail art stickers instead of hand-painting your nails. It’s a small detail most people at a party won’t notice up close anyway.
Bring a small notebook or sketchbook as a prop. Juleka is usually quiet and observing rather than talking, so carrying something to occupy your hands gives you an easy way to stay in character without performing dialogue all night.
Juleka Couffaine Costume FAQ
Wear a black swan-neck top with lace sleeves, purple ripped leggings, black high-top sneakers, and a long purple-and-black wig. Add fingerless lace gloves and red contact lenses for the full look.
It’s a niche pick outside the Miraculous Ladybug fandom, since she’s a background character rather than Ladybug or Cat Noir. Inside the fandom, her purple-tipped hair and gothic style are instantly recognizable, so it still works well for conventions or watch-party groups.
Her most quoted line is “Why should I expect it to be any different? Nobody ever hears me. Or sees me. I’m invisible, even in photos,” said in the episode “Reflekta.”
Yes. Her hair runs past her waist and fades from black to violet at the tips, which is hard to recreate with your own hair unless it’s already very long and dark.
Yes, they’re a canon couple confirmed through onscreen moments like holding hands and comforting each other, which makes them a popular couples costume pick.
Her canon eye color is closer to copper brown. Many costume guides use red contacts instead for a more dramatic, Reflekta-inspired version of the look.
