‘Doctor Who’ Season 11: How To Cosplay As Jodie Whittaker’s 13th Doctor
“Doctor Who” promised that the gray coat viewers saw in the Season 11 teaser wasn’t going to be Jodie Whittaker’s usual look. The BBC America series revealed that the 13th Doctor’s signature outfit is much more colorful.
The network debuted the first look at Whittaker’s costume Thursday. The outfit is pretty simple. Much like her predecessors, the new Doctor seems to love long coats and suspenders. However, this version is a little less rock n’ roll than Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor.
There will be many who want to cosplay (meaning dress up) as the new Doctor, whether it’s at a “Doctor Who” convention or just for fun. Women have been putting together gender-swapped versions of the Doctor’s outfits for years, and this is the first time that the character is a woman. Luckily, this is an easy outfit to copy.
Boots: These are basic brown combat boots, so they’re pretty easy to find. Target has a similar pair ($29.99). Pair with striped blue and green socks.
Trousers: The Doctor seems to be enjoying looser trousers as a woman. These pants appear to be culottes with cuffed legs. It’s difficult to find an exact match. These denim ones from Ulla Popken ($65.95) seem similar, but are only available for those above size 12. More petite cosplayers can check out this similar pair on Yoox ($40).
Suspenders: Yellow suspenders pull together this look. Suspender Store has a pair ($10.99) in canary yellow that are close Whittaker’s.
Sweater: This top, which seems like a nod to Tom Baker’s Doctor, is where Whittaker’s costume gets difficult to replicate. There are a lot of similar sweaters that are vintage and being sold on eBay and Etsy, but for the most part, mass market retailers don’t have a super close match. Forever 21 has a lot of sweaters with rainbow stripes that are reminiscent of the 13th Doctor’s look.
Coat: The Doctor loves a good coat. It’s not the best angle of the jacket, so a perfect match can’t be made right now. However, a beige trench coat, like this one from Old Navy ($54), should do the trick. Cosplayers might want to make alterations to match the navy lining or the rainbow trim.
It will likely be little while before we get a better look at Whittaker’s Doctor. Her season of “Doctor Who” is not set to start on BBC America until fall 2018. Season 11 will be a little shorter at just 10 episodes, but each episode will be longer, clocking in at 50 minutes. Fans believe her first appearance, however, will be in the Christmas special.
