Papa Emeritus IV takes the stage as Ghost’s frontman persona in a sharp red jacket with contrasting black sleeves. This costume centres on that garment: a red faux leather blazer sold as the Papa Red Stage Jacket. It is a focused starting point for a Papa IV outfit, with the jacket supplied and the surrounding clothing chosen by the wearer.
Papa IV’s Red Blazer and Black Sleeves
The colour contrast does much of the visual work here. Red draws attention to the blazer, while the black sleeves connect it to the suggested black shirt and trousers. For a Ghost portrait built around this stage outfit, leave both sleeves visible; a crop that shows only the red section loses an essential part of this particular jacket.
The blazer is listed in polyester and faux leather; its red colour and contrasting black sleeves establish the palette for a Papa IV outfit.
Planning a Jacket-Only Papa IV Outfit
Only the jacket is supplied. Your shirt, trousers, shoes, make-up and any props come from your own wardrobe or separate choices. That distinction matters when planning a Papa IV photograph, because everything beneath the blazer is part of your own styling.
For adults putting together Papa IV’s red stage outfit, jacket options span XS to 3XL.
A Black Base for the Red Stage Look
A black shirt and black trousers give the red blazer a clear setting. They also echo the sleeves, allowing the red portion of the jacket to carry the colour emphasis. Start with those two pieces when arranging your version of the Ghost stage look, then decide which personal additions serve your portrayal of Papa IV.
The open-front photograph is especially useful for considering that pairing. Use it to judge how much of your chosen black shirt you want to show beneath the red blazer, then keep that same balance in mind when arranging your own outfit.
Your own make-up and props can shape your interpretation of Papa Emeritus IV. In a photograph, place any prop so that it leaves the blazer’s red section and black sleeves visible; those are the details this costume supplies.
Photographing Papa IV Beyond a Front Pose
Use the front photograph as a reference for a portrait facing the camera, then compare the two side-angle images for a more turned pose. Choose an angle that keeps red and black readable together. The separate side view offers another reference for how much sleeve appears beside the red blazer, which is useful when choosing a profile pose.
A pose facing away from the camera can use the dedicated back photograph as its reference. Pair it with a frontal image so the jacket is represented from both directions. Keep your own black trousers in the wider shot to maintain the suggested colour pairing throughout the sequence.
For a closer frame, turn to the lapel-detail photograph. Move from a wider image of the red blazer and black sleeves to a crop centred on the lapel. Together, a wider jacket portrait and a lapel crop give your Papa IV photo set a clear change of scale. Try placing those images side by side so the close-up still connects to the red blazer and black sleeves.
