Is there any portraits of Shakespeare?
There are two images of Shakespeare which the people who knew him confirmed as accurate: the engraving by Droushout at the front of the First Folio and the statue of him in the church at Stratford. These are "portraits" although they are not paintings. Some paintings have been claimed as being accurate portraits of Shakespeare; of these the one with the best claim is called the Chandos portrait.

How many paintings were painted of shakespeare in his lifetime?
This is a vexed question. There are no fully authenticated oil paintings of Shakespeare. The only fully-authenticated portraits of Shakespeare that exist are the Droushout woodcut which appears in the First Folio and the bust in Stratford Church. Both of these were approved by people who knew Shakespeare personally as accurate portraits. The oil painting with the best pedigree is called the Chandos portrait (that's the one where he's wearing an earring); it is almost but not quite authenticated. Then we get into murky waters. Many people with a sixteenth-century portrait of an unknown man on hand like to claim that it is really a portrait of Shakespeare, and offer feeble arguments in support of the claim (e.g. "The painting once belonged to someone who probably knew Shakespeare.") If the portrait didn't look anything like the authenticated portraits they used to touch them up to look more like Shakespeare, but nowadays, since that is too easily detected, they don't bother, and baldly claim that Shakespeare didn't actually look like his portraits. They get away with this because people like to imagine that Shakespeare was a sexy hunk, not the bald man with the wispy beard shown in all the authentic portraits.
How many portraits are there of shakespeare?
There are only two portraits of Shakespeare which are guaranteed to be pictures of him: the one published in the First Folio and endorsed by his best friends, and the statue in Stratford Church, which was endorsed by his family. There are several other portraits which claim to be of Shakespeare. The one with the best claim is called the Chandos portrait (that's the one where he has an earring), and the rest are increasingly dubious, ending in those which are complete frauds. The portrait next to the name of Bolognaking above is called the Sanders portrait, the authenticity of which is of course hotly debated.
What is William Shakespeare's usual costume?
You should look at one of the contemporary portraits of Shakespeare (the Drousehout engraving or his monument in Stratford Church) to get this information.

Did William Shakespeare have a portrait?
Yes, there are two authentic portraits of Shakespeare: the memorial monument in Stratford Church and the Droushout engraving in the first Folio, probably the best-known image of Shakespeare. After this we are in the realm of speculation, hoaxes and frauds. A large number of portraits have been put forward as images of Shakespeare merely because they are Elizabethan portraits which do not specifically claim to be pictures of someone else. There are only two such portraits which have more than a totally speculative claim to authenticity. The first is the Chandos portrait, which appears to be remarkably similar to the Droushout. The second is the Sanders portrait which bears an original Jacobean label attached with original Jacobean glue saying that it is a picture of William Shakespeare.
