Disney, fairy-tale and video-game royals

Princess Costumes

Costume Wall has 51 princess costume guides, and the quickest route into one is a ready-made gown with a crown and a wig. Snow White is the easiest of the classic looks, because the blue bodice, the yellow skirt and the red bow already read as the character. Princess Jasmine takes the same idea in teal with gold jewellery, and Princess Peach is the video-game version, a pink gown with gloves and a gold crown. The rest of the page sorts the Disney and fairy-tale royals, the cartoon and anime heroines and the comic and video-game ones.

Make Your Princess a Costume

Start with the gown or the dress, then add the jewellery and the hair piece, and finish with one prop, because the crown or the tiara is what people recognise first.

Classic Disney and Fairy Tale Princess Costumes

Gown-first builds: Snow White is the original of the group, a blue bodice over a yellow skirt with a red bow and a short cape. Sleeping Beauty keeps the same shape in pink or blue with a small crown, and Rapunzel, the Tangled heroine, trades the corset for a lilac dress and a long braid that reaches the floor.

Desert and moorland looks: Princess Jasmine wears the Aladdin two-piece, teal with gold jewellery and a ponytail, the cheapest build on this half of the page. Princess Merida goes the other way, with a mass of ginger curls, a dark green dress and a quiver of arrows over one shoulder.

Cartoon, Anime and Video Game Princess Costumes

Colour-block builds: Adventure Time supplies two of the plainest ones, Princess Bubblegum is a pink dress with a gold crown and a long pink wig, and Flame Princess is the same idea in orange with a flame-shaped hair piece. Star Butterfly adds a wand and a pair of horns, the cheapest cartoon build here.

Console and comic heroines: Princess Peach is a pink gown with white gloves and a gold crown, Princess Daisy, the other Super Mario Bros. gown, keeps that shape in orange and yellow, and Princess Zelda swaps the gown for a blue tunic, pointed ears and a tiara. Sailor Moon and Starfire are the comic versions, and Rosalina is the space one, a turquoise gown with a star-topped wand.

Screen, Historical and Fantasy Princess Costumes

Period and literary looks: Daphne Bridgerton is a Regency gown with long gloves and a tiara, and Rhaenyra Targaryen, the House of the Dragon queen, adds a braided silver wig and a red gown. Princess Buttercup of The Princess Bride is a red dress and a gold tiara, the simplest of the three.

Animated and fantasy heroines: Fancy Nancy is a tutu and a bow, Princess Bean is a green tunic and a crown, and Princess Kida of Atlantis is a tribal look with a crystal pendant and white hair. Anastasia and Princess Elena both need a tiara, a ball gown and a pair of opera gloves to read at a distance, while Princess Poppy, the Trolls heroine, adds a headband and a pair of wings to a felt dress.

Choosing and Wearing a Princess Costume

Match the route to the effort: a boxed gown is the fastest way into a fairy-tale look, and a dress you already own can become a cartoon or video-game heroine with a wig, a crown and one prop. The comic and anime looks are usually a bodysuit or a tunic plus a hair piece.

Comfort and photos: buy the shoes so you can stand in them all night, pin the wig at the temples rather than the top of the head, and shoot a test photo under indoor light, because satin and glitter read differently on camera. A group can share one gown and swap the hair piece between characters.

Princess Costume FAQ

What is the easiest princess costume?

A ready-made gown, because the dress and the crown already read as the character. Add a wig and a pair of flats and the look is finished.

How much does a princess costume cost?

It depends on the route. A boxed gown is the cheapest single purchase, while building one from a dress you already own costs more in time and less in money.

What do I wear under a princess costume?

A plain fitted layer in the same colour family, such as a slip and leggings, so the skirt sits smoothly and the bodice does not ride up.

Can I wear a princess costume to a Halloween party?

Yes, and it is one of the easiest themes to dress for, because the silhouette reads from across the room. Keep the shoes comfortable and the crown light enough to wear indoors.

How do I make a princess costume look better on a budget?

Buy the one piece that carries the character and borrow or make the rest. A good wig, a painted prop or a beaded bodice changes a plain dress more than a second gown would.

Choose Your Princess Costume

Choose the silhouette first, then the colour. A ready-made gown is the fastest route into a fairy-tale look, while a cartoon or video-game heroine is usually assembled from a dress, a wig and one prop. Whichever route you take, keep the shoes comfortable enough to stand in and the crown light enough to wear for the whole evening.
