WARNING: Contains Potential spoilers for POISON IVY #28!With Halloween and numerous Comic Cons on the horizon, Poison Ivy’s new costume has debuted at the perfect time for fans of the Gotham City Sirens. This fresh design offers a unique take on Ivy’s classic look while remaining entirely recognizable as the iconic character. What makes this costume even more remarkable is its abundance of modification options, allowing fans to customize it to suit their comfort levels.

G. Willow Wilson and Marcio Takara’s Poison Ivy #28 ramps up the action as the beloved Siren confronts the Order of the Green Knight and grapples with the consequences of awakening a primordial force. With the release date set for December 4, 2024, fans still have some time to wait for this issue.

However, they can quench their anticipation with the excitement of David Nakayama’s variant cover, which features Ivy in a stunning new ensemble that is both unique and gorgeous. This fresh look serves as the perfect costume inspiration for anyone seeking a new take on Poison Ivy.

Poison Ivy Gets Stunning High-Neck and Long-Slit Skirt Look in Official DC Art

Artist David Nakayama Reimagines Ivy in Variant Cover for Poison Ivy #28

Nakayama’s variant cover reimagines Ivy’s classic leafy bustier costume, blending elegance, sophistication, and maturity while staying true to the character design fans associate with the plant-inclined Siren. He replaces the strapless bustier with a long-sleeve, high-neck half-shirt that reveals Ivy’s midriff. Despite this significant design shift, Nakayama retains the leafy texture and pattern that have long defined Ivy's looks, making this transformation feel innovative without abandoning her signature style. On the lower half, she wears a stunning green long-slit skirt that resembles the texture of a leaf.

This look represents a major departure from what fans typically expect from Ivy, as she is rarely depicted in dresses or skirts—likely due to their impracticality when it comes to evading Batman and kicking ass. However, while this design may lack practicality, it excels in sheer fashion. This is undoubtedly one of Ivy’s more elegant and mature costumes, offering her additional coverage without compromising her seductive allure. For instance, while a long skirt alone might seem too modest for the Siren known for using her beauty to her advantage, the slit adds a touch of seduction, making this a brilliant design choice by Nakayama.

Nakayama’s Design Is Perfect For Fans Who Want More Coverage And/Or Warmth This Fall Season

Nakayama’s design is perfect for cosplay and costume inspiration. It presents a completely new Poison Ivy costume for fans to recreate, but it also offers a remarkable range of modification options. For instance, those seeking more coverage or warmth can adjust the costume to cover Ivy's entire midriff and pair it with thigh-high boots, or choose a skirt without the slit. This flexibility allows fans to customize the design to their comfort levels while still reflecting the essence of this Poison Ivy costume.

Poison Ivy #28 will be released on December 4, 2024, from DC Comics.
