Over the last year, I’ve been hearing awesome things about the new Ms. Marvel, aka Kamala Khan, so I couldn’t wait to get started on reading her series.   

The verdict? You’d better believe the hype! This girl kicks bad-guy butt, stays true to herself, and on top of all that, she writes Avengers fanfic. What’s not to love?

For more Marvel-inspired Geek Chic articles, check out our previous posts about Silk/Cindy Moon, Guardians of the Galaxy, Loki, and the Avengers. 

Know Your Geek: About Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel 

  • Kamala Khan is a sixteen-year-old Pakistani-American girl growing up in Jersey City. Although she appreciates her heritage, she sometimes chafes under the pressure of her strict but loving parents and wishes she could be “normal.”
  • When a strange blue mist rolls through town, Kamala suddenly develops shape-shifting powers. She takes the name of her idol, Carol Danvers (currently known as Captain Marvel) and starts to fight crime.  
  • With the help of her friend Bruno, she revamps a burkini swimsuit so it can stretch with her as she switches between shrinking to the size of a beetle and growing big enough to throw a car.   
  • The first issue of the new Ms. Marvel was published in February 2014. The series is written by G. Willow Wilson and drawn by Adrian Alphona.
  • Ms. Marvel has received widespread praise in the comics community, not only for being the first Muslim character to headline a Marvel series, but also for her relatability and general awesomeness.  

Outfits Inspired by Ms. Marvel

Take your style-shifting powers for a spin with these outfits inspired by Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel.

Jersey Girl

Kamala Khan fashion

Product Information: Jacket, Sweater, Jeans, Sneakers, Bag, Scarf, Ring

Kamala’s civilian fashion sense is pretty eclectic, featuring hot pink tights and trapper hats. Get inspired by her laid-back layers by pairing a soft purple sweater with slouchy boyfriend jeans. A lightweight anorak is the perfect spring outerwear, while high-tops add to the casual vibe. (Roll up those jeans cuffs!) 

Add an eye-catching scarf to the otherwise neutral outfit, then sling a cobalt blue messenger bag over your shoulder. Last but not least, add a quirky ring that references Kamala’s mask.  

I Want To Be You 

Ms Marvel Fashion

Product Information: Dress, Tights, Boots, Scarf, Earrings

For a look inspired by Kamala’s superhero style, try this outfit on for size. A long-sleeved shift dress is reminiscent of her burkini, while lightning-bolt shaped earrings echo the Ms. Marvel insignia.  

Bright red tights could easily take this look into cartoon-y primary color overload. Instead, opt for a darker-colored pair and add a pop of red in the form of a pretty patterned scarf. Last but not least, this pair of golden ankle boots was made for kicking some supervillain butt!

    How have I not heard of this!? That sounds amazing, so glad they vamped up a new character. Ms. Marvel sounds like someone I’d like to be BFF’s with. Haha, great outfits too, I really like the second one.
