6. The Villain’s Finishing Touch

Tips for a Fairytale-Worthy Look

Storybook costumes shine when you lean into the details. Choose jewelry that matches your costume’s metal tones, pick one standout prop, and style your hair to fit the character, whether that is long waves, a sleek braid, or a dramatic updo. Try your full look on ahead of time, and order early in October so everything arrives before the big night.
