Step 1: Misa's clothes are kind of Goth/punk
The artist said he wanted her to have the Gothic Lolita style, "To be a bit different and unique".
If you don't know what that is, there is a LifeGuide Hub on this website, a Wikipedia page, and you can also find the Gothic Lolita Bible, which is a magazine, in the Graphic novel section of your bookstore.

Buying an actual Lolita dress would be a waste of time and money in this case.
Clothes that are similar to her style are at Hot Topic and stores like that. -
Step 2: in a very Japanese way.
If you are tall, this may not be for you. (Unless you want to, of course.) And if you cannot walk in these types of shoes, either try to practice and get used to it or just ditch them.
Get some combat boots or something of the sort.
It's a good idea to have them look uber punk. , Her hair is usually up in high pigtails, or half pigtails, and she also has bangs.
Her hair length is pretty long, but do not feel inhibited by that, either... ,, The basics are a given. (You know, eyeliner,(whatever color) lip-gloss, a little blush) Don't go too crazy on the makeup.
