Her outfits consists of a red long-sleeved button-down shirt (left buttoned at the throat and upper chest), as well as a leather jacket with vertical piping and a leather pencil skirt with a thigh slit.

While you may not be able to find an exact match for any of his shirts from the film, a yellow and blue striped button-down with a blue Swiss dot tie or a brown plaid shirt with a burgundy and black striped one will do the trick. Finish your costume with a goatee, which you can apply using spirit gum and grey out a bit with some mascara, and khakis.
