Which “Orphan Black” Clone Should You Be For Halloween?

Unless you’re Tatiana Maslany, you can’t be two (or six) people at once. But you can do the next best thing and dress up like an Orphan Black clone for Halloween!

With the help of this handy article, you’ll figure out which clone costume best suits your personality and how you can achieve a look worthy of Clone Club initiation.

The most important aspect of this costume is attitude. If you’re not sporting major ‘tude, you’re doing it wrong. As a British punk grifter-turned-unofficial ringleader of the clones, Sarah’s got sass to spare. Make sure you wear your hair in messy waves and smudge on some eyeliner so it looks day-old. Throw on a hoodie, a leather jacket and some combat boots and you’re ready to take on your enemies!

Helena

Helena is probably the most Halloween-worthy of all the clones. Simply because she’s the scariest. She’s got a wild mop of blonde hair and even wilder eyes, and if there’s food around, chances are she’s shoving it into her mouth. Just one of Helena’s many…quirks. To fully become Helena, speak with her Ukrainian accent (“My seestra”), wear a white nightgown smeared in fake blood and tear into those Halloween snacks.

One suburban soccer mom clone coming right up! Are you a Type A personality with a dark side? Do you feel as comfortable holding a glue gun as you do holding a real gun? Then Alison is the clone for you! (And also you might need some help.) Fasten your hair into a tight ponytail and get some clip-on bangs. Put on your best yoga pants and puffer vest, grab a nice glass of wine, and you’re all set to do some arts and crafts…or bury a body in your garage, whatever.

Cosima Niehaus

If “sexy nerd” is how you’d generally describe yourself, a Cosima costume might be for you. She’s a pot-smoking science geek with a head full of dreads and a thing for French chicks. To transform into Cosima, twist your hair into some faux-dreadlocks, then throw on a pair of geeky glasses, a fake nose ring and a lab coat. A swooping cat-eye will complete your look.

Rachel Duncan

Rachel is the ice queen of clones. Cold, calculating and (almost) always in control, Rachel loves antagonizing her fellow clone sisters. You’ll need a proper British accent, a poker face, and some well-tailored business attire to embody the character. Top it off with an asymmetrical blonde bob and you’ll instantly become a force to be reckoned with. (Bonus points if you can make it look like a pencil is sticking out of your eye. If you watch the show, you’ll most certainly get that reference).

Tony Sawicki

Tony (aka the trans clone) caused quite a stir when he appeared on the show for one episode in season two. We only got a brief glimpse into his character, but so far we know he’s cocky, confident and a tiny bit criminal. You’ll need a goatee, a long mullet and some swagger to pull off this costume.

Helena as Sarah as Beth

This show – and the acting prowess of Tatiana Maslany – frequently blows people’s minds. And with a costume like this, you can too! For a head-spinning scene in season one, Helena pretends to be Sarah, who’s pretending to be Beth (the cop clone who offed herself in episode one). Get yourself a button-down shirt, a blazer and a beanie to cover your hair. Use some eye shadow to achieve Helena’s dark circles, and there you have it – you’re officially a triple threat!

 If you’re still having trouble deciding, round up a bunch of your friends and be ALL of the clones! Clone dance party, anyone?
