How do i customize my character in gta online?

Grand Theft Auto Online lets players control a customizable silent protagonist. When you first join the game, you are prompted to create a new character. The character creation interface offers options to modify basic appearance features such as gender, build, facial features, and hairstyle. After selecting your initial appearance, you can also add or change clothing items during gameplay by visiting clothing stores or using the in‑game shop menus. Once the character is created, the customization can be revisited by accessing the character menu from the pause screen or the in‑game menu, allowing you to alter certain appearance details and wardrobe choices. The game does not allow changing the core character’s gender or major traits after the first creation step, but it provides flexibility in styling and apparel that can be updated at any time.
