The Street Style Guide to a Disney Princess Costume
When you were little, dressing up as Ariel from The Little Mermaid for Halloween meant a costume complete with all the essentials — from the fire-engine-red wig down to the tail. But for the grown-up version of you that, OK, still loves the Disney princesses, we've got a different angle.
Forget what you know about the gowns of your youth, because we've reworked the whimsical outfits of our favorite characters and infused them with a bit of modern-day edge. Yes, this is exactly what the Disney princesses would wear as street style stars — Anna Dello Russo, Miroslava Duma, and Chiara Ferragni, take note.
Ahead, shop the ensembles that'll make you feel like royalty on Halloween, but that you can easily wear again once the parties are over. (Oh, and if you choose to be a bit more obvious about it, we totally recommend picking up a box of hair dye or digging out that old wig . . . )
Cinderella
Give Cinderella a ‘90s punk edge in leather booties (glass heel optional), a long blue dress, and a black choker.
Pocahontas
Channel Pocahontas’s boho vibes in fringe, a neutral dress, and turquoise jewelry.
Aurora
Aurora from Sleeping Beauty gets a chic, preppy update with a layered look and gold accents.
Snow White
For Snow White, it’s all about the color palette. But a structured skirt and a touch of denim makes your look cool-girl casual.
Belle
Belle stays conservative and polished in patent-leather loafers and a demure denim dress. And since she loves to read, your ensemble’s not really complete without a proper book clutch.
Jasmine
Choose a lightweight printed jumpsuit and complementing heels to nab Jasmine’s matchy-matchy style.
Ariel
Turn up the quirk and re-create a totally striking, electric look to achieve Ariel.
