Carbon Costume disney princess
Snow White (2025)
Snow White is a classic Disney animated princess film that you may be familiar with. There is a brand new, live-action adaptation of it coming out next year, which starts the very talented Rachel Zegler.
To dress like Snow White from this upcoming film, starting with the top, there isn’t one out yet that is exactly like hers which looks to be a velvet material, but for now you can take the top from previous available, pre-made costumes. You can either cut off this part, but it may be easier just to wear this at the base. Over this, you’ll want to achieve the very full yellow skirt. You can wear one, or layer multiple yellow full tulle skirts. This costume cuts straight across at the waist, so wear the over-skirts slightly above the waistline of the base costume. If there is a ribbon, you can fold it under, remove it, or tuck it in. Wear white tights underneath with red ballet flats. Finally, either style your own hair in a similar fashion or style a short black wig.
Cinderella’s Peasant Dress in Cinderella (2015)
Cinderella is a 2015 live-action remake of the original animated Disney film. This follows the same classic story of a girl who has to live with her evil stepsisters and stepmother until she meets her Prince Charming. This film has beautiful realistic versions of the costumes we know so well, and one of them that could be recreated is her casual, “peasant dress”.
To create this look, wear a blue blouse with a maxi full blue skirt. Add a muted brick red apron to the skirt and a wrapped headband created with frayed white fabric wrapped in your hair.
Giselle from Enchanted
Giselle is a character from the 2007 Disney film enchanted, and is played by Amy Adams. Enchanted follows Giselle, a princess who is banished by an evil queen and has to go from her animated world to the real world.
In one scene Giselle wears a poofy white wedding dress in the city. This can be recreated with a white wedding dress with poofy short sleeves, a white petticoat for volume, and a white ruffled skirt to layer under the dress that will show through the slit in the skirt. She pairs this with a silver necklace, tiara, and white satin gloves.
Princess Anna from Frozen (Coronation Dress)
Princess Anna is a character from the popular Disney film Frozen, and is voiced by Kristen Bell. She is the sister of Queen Elsa and they both live in Arendelle. In one scene in this first film, we see Anna and Elsa attend coronation day, where Elsa is to be crowned queen and the gates of their kingdom open for the first time in forever! Anna dresses for the occasion in her iconic green and black dress. Add a black petticoat underneath to give the skirt more volume, and you can even add pantalettes underneath. She wears a necklace with this made out of a ribbon material, black ballet flats, and her hair is braided in an updo, which you can style yourself from your own hair or a wig.
Ariel from The Little Mermaid (2023)
Ariel from the new Disney 2023 film, The Little Mermaid is played by Halle Bailey. This live action version of the beloved animated film is a fun and refreshing new take on the original. Ariel is just as stylish on shore as she is under the sea! On land she wears a frilly light ocean blue dress that is perfectly fit for a princess. The details in her costumes throughout the film reflect the theme of the sea and all things underwater. The light and airy ruffles on her dresses remind us of waves, and the ruching resembles patterns on fish. Other than blue, she also has lots of pink details.
