Steps
- Make or purchase Sebastian's attire. Sebastian wears an early 1900s butler uniform with a silverStart an Antique Pocket Watch Collection. The uniform mainly consists of a suit and tailcoat with a tie. White gloves are also part of the attire. These items are still around today so if you're looking for Judge the Authenticity of an Original Painting and the real deal, you can buy these online or some stores around. You can make them yourself too by looking at pictures of Sebastian for reference if you're wanting to perfect the details of his outfit.
- For his hair, you'll need a short haircut in the back, with long bangs in the front. You will also need to dye your hair black if it isn't already. If you're opting for a wig, you can find Buy a Wig online at cosplay sites or buy one and cut/dye it yourself. There are many options.
- Wear a pair of black dress shoes. Preferably men's.
- Buy dark red or regular red (if dark red is unavailable) coloured contacts since Sebastian's eyes are red.
- Paint your nails black. That is an important demonic trait that Sebastian holds.
- Draw or temporary/airbrush tattoo a pentacle on your left hand, which signifies your contract with Ciel.
- Wear glasses when you're in "tutor mode".
- Act like you're the best butler around and always Tell the Difference Between Complement and Compliment the Phantomhive Family.
- Have somebody Cosplay at a Convention as Ciel and be his butler.
- Learn to be a Become a College Athlete and fighter since Sebastian has never been beaten by anybody.
- Try to act like a perfectionist since this will give off Sebastian's "I never fail" aura. Being clumsy won't work.
- Don't lie. Ever. Sebastian never lies but instead, takes advantage of when people don't specify exactly what they want done to merely humour himself when people get mad. He's slick.
- For example, when Ciel tells Sebastian to find out who the Jack the Ripper suspects are, and they go through a whole bunch of crap for nothing, Ciel yells at him for not telling him that Jack the Ripper wasn't human and accuses him of lying. Sebastian didn't lie, but instead, didn't tell Ciel what he didn't ask for. This kind of thing is what you should do; don't tell/do what people don't ask for. You need specific details. Remember that.
- Be a lover of cats. Especially black cats. Sebastian loves cats.
- Say "I am one hell of a butler" a lot.
- When commanded by your Ciel kneel down on one knee and bow your head and say, "Yes, My Lord."
- Smirk a lot.
- Be cunning and deceiving.
- Another common phrase for Sebastian is ' If I couldn't do something as simple as (Name the task you are referring to) Then what kind of butler would I be?

Tips
- Try not to actually hurt anybody since this is still cosplay.
- If, by any possible chance, you meet face with a Grell cosplayer, act as if annoyed and or bothered by their presence. Some points of time it is good to act like if you are ignoring them or pushing them off of you if they try to hug you or something along the lines. Since Grell has a tendency of being girl-ish and attracted to Sebastian. Make sure you shiver or are disgusted when Grell shows loving actions. But always remember to act like a gentleman, even in those dire situations.
Sebastian is always Punctual. Never be late to an event when cosplaying as him. (Remember not to actually hurt the Grell. It is still a cosplay!)
- Walk with your back straight: put your shoulders back, your chest forward. As a butler, this is normally how Sebastian walks. It shows his respect and pride as a Phantomhive butler.
Warnings
- Some small children might become frightened if they realize that you're cosplaying as a demon. Please be considerate and do not purposefully try to frighten them if they do not want to be frightened.
- Some people (parents or people in general) may look down upon you or be religiously offended that you are cosplaying as a demon. IGNORE THEM, you do you and don't let anyone get in your way.
