Easy DIY Punky Brewster Costume Guide

Penelope "Punky" Brewster, portrayed by the talented Soleil Moon Frye, is the main protagonist of the Punky Brewster series. She is remembered by many as a bright, spunky, and bubbly girl possessing quite a colorful wardrobe, preferring to wear bright-colored, mismatched clothes. She was raised by foster parents and lived in an apartment complex they own. While there, Punky enjoys her new life while making new friends.

To dress like Punky Brewster, start with a simple blue tee. And then wear a red long-sleeved shirt. And slip on a maroon vest over the T-shirt. On your lower half, wear blue jeans. Around your waist, secure a bright yellow belt. Roll your jeans up so you can show off Punky socks. Wearing one red shoe and one green shoe will make you look more punky. For accessories, colorful hair ties to pull your hair up, your clothes with a heart pin. Finish off this costume with a bandana, and carry a yellow whistle on a chain around your neck.
