Elodie is the brave young woman at the center of Netflix’s Damsel (2024), where a royal wedding turns into a very different kind of fairy tale. She is resourceful, stubborn, and much better at surviving a dragon’s lair than anyone should have to be. Her dark green gown makes a memorable contrast with the danger around her, and its full skirt and puffed shoulders give the look a storybook shape without making Elodie seem like she is waiting around to be rescued.
To recreate the dragon-lair outfit, start with the olive green medieval gown and keep its skirt long and full. Wear the gray floral-lace long-sleeve top underneath so patterned, fitted sleeves reach your wrists beneath the dress’s puffed shoulders. The gown is lighter green with white sleeve puffs, and the sheer lace is a practical stand-in for the film’s opaque silver-gray arm panels, not an exact replica. A dark belt or ribbon from your closet can define the waist. Finish with long, loose auburn waves.

Elodie Cosplay Ideas
Build Elodie’s green dragon-lair outfit around the olive medieval gown. Its embroidered bodice, puffed shoulders, and full floor-length skirt provide the storybook shape. The dress is lighter than the film gown and has white sleeve puffs, so use the gray underlayer to bring in the darker sleeve detail.
Put on the gray floral-lace long-sleeve top first, then wear the gown over it. Let the fitted patterned sleeves extend from below the puffed shoulders down to your wrists. This adds the long-sleeved silhouette missing from the dress alone. The sheer lace has less coverage than Elodie’s denser silver-gray patterned sleeves. A dark belt or narrow ribbon you already own can gather the waist.
Finish with the optional long auburn-red wig, keeping its loose waves away from your face. The shopping kit contains the gown, wig, and separate lace underlayer. The reference does not establish a specific shoe beneath the long skirt, and no additional prop is needed. Check that the underlayer sleeves stay comfortably in place when you bend your elbows, and check that the gown and top each fit comfortably.

Wear the gray floral-lace long-sleeve top under the gown, letting its fitted sleeves show below the puffed shoulders. The sheer lace suggests the patterned gray panels.
A dark belt or narrow ribbon can gather the waist and skirt for a weathered survivor feel. It is a DIY styling choice, not an included product or exact film accessory.
The long auburn-red wig is optional, but loose waves make the character easier to recognize. Keep the hair down and your face unobstructed.

About Elodie
Elodie is the central character in Netflix’s Damsel (2024), played by Millie Bobby Brown. She agrees to marry Prince Henry, but the royal celebration becomes a trap: Elodie is offered as a sacrifice to a dragon and must find a way to survive. The film turns a familiar fairy-tale setup on its head by making its heroine rely on her own courage and quick thinking rather than waiting for a rescue.
Her dragon-lair gown is a striking part of that journey. The dark olive-green, floor-length dress has a fitted medieval-style bodice, a gathered full skirt, and puffed shoulders. Elodie’s costume changes as the story moves from royal ceremony to survival, so this green gown is distinct from her earlier gold-bodice and burgundy-skirt outfit. That progression helps the clothes reflect the changing situation without needing a speech about it. Fans choose this look for its recognizable storybook silhouette, auburn hair, and practical, battle-tested energy. It is a fairy-tale dress with a very clear message: the heroine is busy getting herself out.
