Derek Thompson is the tough-minded hockey player played by Dwayne Johnson in the 2010 film Tooth Fairy. After a run-in with the magical world, Derek gets drafted into tooth-fairy duty, trading his usual sports gear for a very pink transformation outfit. The contrast is the joke: this gruff guy has to flutter around in a tutu and wings, and he is not exactly thrilled about it.
To recreate Derek’s pink fairy transformation outfit, start with a pale pink short-sleeve leotard, a fluffy light blush-pink tutu, pink tights, and nude-blush ballet shoes. Choose soft blush ballet shoes to complement the brighter pink outfit. Add white feather wings and a pink wand, then prepare to look much more magical than intimidating. The leotard is a plain scoop-neck version, so gather a little tutu tulle at each shoulder for a modest puff-sleeve suggestion. Smaller white feather wings and a pink star wand keep the look playful and wearable. For more fairy outfit ideas, check out our Fairy Costume Guide. If you want a very different famous fairy silhouette, compare it with the Tinker Bell costume guide.
Derek Thompson Cosplay Ideas
Build Derek Thompson’s pink fairy transformation outfit from the 2010 film Tooth Fairy with one pale pink leotard, one light pink tulle tutu, pink footed tights, nude-blush ballet shoes, white feather wings, and a wand. The soft blush ballet shoes are subtler than the film’s pink slippers. Pull on the leotard and tights first, then add the tutu over the bodysuit. The plain scoop-neck leotard differs from the screen outfit’s satin-like V neckline and puff sleeves. To suggest a softer shoulder shape, gather a small amount of tulle from the tutu at each shoulder. This simple DIY touch suggests the puffed shoulder shape.
Slip on the ballet shoes and attach the wings with their elastic straps. These smaller wings give the costume a wearable feathered silhouette. Add the pink star wand. Keep the look playful, and let the tutu do most of the dramatic work. For more ideas on adapting wings and fairy pieces, browse the Fairy Costume Guide. Want a different fairy vibe? The Tinker Bell costume guide has another recognizable silhouette.
Derek Thompson Halloween Costume FAQs

This guide recreates the pink fairy transformation outfit from the 2010 film. It is not Derek’s later blue fairy work outfit.
Gather a small amount of tulle from the tutu at each shoulder for a soft puff-sleeve suggestion. The plain scoop-neck leotard still does not recreate the screen outfit’s satin-like V neckline or finish.
The smaller white feather wings still give the outfit its clear fairy silhouette.
Use the pink star wand as a bright finishing accent for the transformation outfit.
Try the leotard, tights, tutu and shoes together before the event, and make sure the layers let you move comfortably.
About Derek Thompson
Derek Thompson is the central character in the 2010 family comedy Tooth Fairy, played by Dwayne Johnson. He is a professional hockey player whose hard-edged attitude earns him the nickname “Tooth Fairy” after he discourages a young fan’s hopes. The real tooth fairy then gives Derek a magical assignment: he must serve as a tooth fairy himself. His pink transformation outfit makes the role especially memorable, since it puts a tough athlete in a tutu, wings, tights, and ballet shoes.
The comedy comes from Derek trying to handle fairy duties while still acting like a no-nonsense hockey player. The film turns the familiar childhood tooth-fairy tradition into a fish-out-of-water story, with Derek learning to take other people’s dreams seriously. Fans choose this costume for its instantly readable pink fairy look and the funny contrast with Johnson’s imposing screen presence. This guide focuses on the 2010 pink transformation outfit, not Derek’s later blue fairy work outfit.
