Carbon Costume fairy tale
Goldilocks from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Goldilocks (voiced by Florence Pugh) is all grown up in the Dreamworks animated feature Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The leader of a criminal gang which includes the Three Bears from her well-known fairy tale, Goldilocks allies herself with Big Jack Horner in a bid to secure the Last Wish so she can be reunited with her biological family. Goldilocks wears her hair into two enormous curly buns with two locks trailing down her back. Her costume includes a puff sleeve blouse under a blue corset top, a multicolored skirt, and brown boots. To recreate her look, you can layer multiple skirts together, and even use a pair of scissors to give them a more shredded look. Use a blonde wig with pigtail clip-ins styled as two buns and secured with teal hair ties (in the film, her hair is held in place with beaded ties, but any texture will do). Finally, wind a leather strap around your right wrist, and accessorize with pearls, a multicolored necklace, and mismatched earrings. Her staff, which has a v-shaped top, also has pearl strands wound around it.
Snow White from Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs
Snow White (voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz) is a woman transformed in Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs. A pair of magical red shoes change Snow White’s appearance before she meets the Seven Dwarfs, including Prince Merlin. While transformed, Snow White goes by the name Red Shoes to conceal her identity. Snow White and Red Shoes wear the same outfit, with minor changes to the way it fits, so you can choose to wear the costume either way, depending on your preference. Obviously, the most important part of your recreation is a pair of red high-heeled shoes. You’ll also need a white top–you can opt for a longer-sleeved peasant top with a square neckline, or perhaps a shorter version with a lace front. A dark red skirt and waist belt complete the look.
Doris the Ugly Stepsister from Shrek 2
In Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third, Doris (voiced by Larry King!) is one of Cinderella’s step-sisters, who works as a bartender. She puts forth Puss in Boots to King Harold for the task of assassinating Shrek. Eventually she ends up as part of Princess Fiona’s inner circle. Whether she’s ugly is subjective — Simon Cowell certainly thinks so — but her makeup with gaudy eyeshadow, pencil-thin eyebrows, and prominent mole, is ultimately what makes or breaks this cosplay.
Goldilocks from Purple Mattress
In the Purple Mattress commercials, Goldilocks (Mallory Everton) is a bed expert who mischievously uses raw eggs to test the quality of mattresses. A hard mattress will crack the eggs, a soft mattress will also crack the eggs, but a mattress that’s just right will cradle the eggs, even with 1,000 pounds of weights on top of them.
Pinocchio from Shrek
Pinocchio is a recurring character in the Shrek movies. Like the Big Bad Wolf, he first appears as one of the fairy tale characters that was exiled to Shrek‘s swamp. In the sequel, Pinocchio becomes one of his best friends. He often gets into trouble by lying, which makes his nose grow. He gets turned into a real boy by Fairy Godmother‘s magic wand, but he ultimately gets turned into puppet again. Pinocchio appears in several of the Shrek video games as well. Attach three yellow felt circles down the shirt to resemble his buttons. You can sew them on or simply use hot glue. For added detail, you can also glue a leaf sprig to the fake nose.
Rose Cinderella from Regal Academy
Rose Cinderella was just a normal girl until she fell through a portal into the world of fairy tales. There she learns that she is the granddaughter of Cinderella! Voiced by Rebecca Soler (billed as Jessica Paquet), Rose is a very outgoing but clumsy girl who loves to help other people. Whether she is working with her friends or her boyfriend Hawk SnowWhite – grandson of Snow White – she is always ready to help those in need and find a happy ending!
Rose’s clothes are very colorful. She wears a pink bow in her hair, a plum blazer, a pink plaid skirt, and pink slip-on shoes. Her white button up shirt matches her white leggings except for the plum colored bands around the bottom of the leggings. Finding her exact leggings is tough but you can replicate by gluing ribbon to the bottom of white leggings. After that all you need is a long blonde wig and a black tie with yellow stripes and you’re ready for your own fairy tale adventure!
Little Red Riding Hood in Into the Woods
In Into the Woods, this take on Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford) crosses paths with the Wolf as usual, but also characters from other fairy tales including Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel.
Red Riding Hood
In Red Riding Hood, Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) lives in a village that’s being terrorized by a werewolf. You’d think she’d wear something more low key than a bright red cape.
The Red Queen from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland
Not to be confused with The Queen of Hearts, The Red Queen is cool, collected, and ruthlessly evil. Together with Jafar, The Red Queen plots to keep Alice from her true love.
Snow White from Once Upon a Time
In Once Upon a Time, Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) is sweet, noble, and has a heart of gold. Despite what the Evil Queen plots against, her kind heart and true love keep her strong and determined to do what’s right.
