These rings are gaudy and excessive, and were a find from a costume shop. These necklaces are essential when channeling the style of Mr. T. Multiple gold necklaces and a Comic Con pass complete the look. "Mr. T gave me someone to look up to as a kid," Gray says. These boots, along with the camouflage gear, capture the United States Army Special Forces look of B. A. Baracus, otherwise known as Mr. T, or Bad Attitude Baracus.Style analysis: Some cosplayers went over the top at Comic Con, while others played it more subtle, rocking graphic tees and sneakers. Andy Gray mixed his costume jewelry with camouflage print and a Mohawk hairstyle to evoke the style of his childhood hero, Mr. T. His style makes him a part of the A-Team.
Always be on your own fashion A-list, Denver.
