Doflamingo is a very tall (standing at 10' and as a comparison taller than Kuzan as shown in their confrontation), very lean and muscular man with a six-pack, tan skin tone, and blonde hair incredibly short resembles a pixie cut. He generally dresses in flamboyant clothes. About his animal theme, the flamingo, his clothes are brightly colored, with his large light pink feather coat most distinctly of all. Doflamingo sports a pair of curved, thin white sunglasses, which appear to serve as his eyesight with red lenses. He usually walks with an odd, bow-legged waddle, which is also a reference to his animal theme. Doflamingo's outfit is somewhat less elaborate, wearing a long-sleeved plain, open shirt that has small, dark Jolly Rogers as cufflinks, an orange belt with green ropes, and pink striped pants with white patterns. However, he still wears his trademark sunglasses which have changed from purple to red lenses and dress shoes. Post-Timeskip, he drapes his feathered coat on his shoulders instead of leaving his arms in the sleeves, similar to many high-ranking Marines and pirates alike. He also now wears a golden hoop earring on each ear

Doflamingo had most of the strawhats cornered since he was in the sky and was trying to use Overheat towards Nami, Brook, Chopper with captivatied Giolla and Caesar Clown.
