Lee has parted short silver hair with long fringes on each side and brown eyes. In the initial games, his outfits were heavily influenced by high Japanese fashion from the 1990's along with having his trademark tuxedo. From Tekken 4 onward, many of his outfits would have a formal and elegant theme. He always has a unicorn motif included in his outfits.
Tekken

Player 1 outfit:
