Stewie Griffin presents the classic appearance of a baby, yet with distinctive features that set him apart. He has a round, cherubic face with large expressive eyes and a光头 (shaved head, though often shown with spiky tufts of hair in later seasons). His skin is a typical baby pink, and he sports the standard infant attire of a white short-sleeve shirt with blue overalls, commonly seen throughout the series.
The most notable aspect of Stewie's appearance is how it contrasts with his behavior. He typically carries a pacifier in his mouth, which he sometimes removes to speak in his sophisticated British accent. His teddy bear, Rupert, is a constant companion, often seen tucked under his arm or featured in his schemes. The character's design intentionally creates humor through the juxtaposition of his baby-like exterior with his adult-like intellect and ambitions.
