Why not take a different approach to the Princess Leia costume this Halloween? The Princess Leia Costume is assured to make you feel sexy and regal as well as powerful and ready to take on the galaxy. In the Star Wars movie Star Wars: A New Hope as well as the following movies. Princess Leia did not forget her royalty and she never sat back and waited for anyone to rescue her. Now, if you are making your own Princess Leia Costume you need to gauge your sewing skills and or your ability to find a look a like dress.
The very simplest of the Princess Leia costume is the one that she was introduced wearing. The first glimpse we see of the Princess Leia costume is when the droid R2D2 projects her for Luke Skywalker. Her outfit was long, white, and flowing, with a simple belt. If you have a while robe made of a thin material much like a bed sheet or a snuggy you can start with that. Use a pillow case for the hood and you can wear a high necked blouse or a white turtle neck for shirt. A long flowing white skirt and white boots can compliment this look perfectly. If you cannot find white boots you can substitute using white seekers but be sure they aren’t gray or grungy looking.
The hairstyle for your Princess Leia costume is one of the simplest but most loved hairstyles of all time. It has been sported on fashion runways as well as comic conventions. You might want to try to recreate it exactly for your Princess Leia costume or give it an updated twist.
To complete your Princess Leia costume you will need to know how to create her hairstyle. First you need to apply an ample amount of mousse to your freshly washed hair. Make sure it’s partially dry, but still damp. Start styling your hair by parting it down the middle. Brushing one side smooth as you tilt your head sideways towards the floor. Next braid your hair and secure the end with a rubber band or hair elastic band. The side buns are created by coiling the braid around itself as many times as you can. You can coil it behind the ear or just above the ear depending on how you’d like your Princess Leia costume to look. Hold the bun tightly against your head as you secure it with bobby pins or hair pins. It is a very difficult hairstyle to keep in place, but one needed if you are to have a convincing Princess Leia costume.
For a softer, looser interpretation of the Princess Leia costume look, you can create pom-pom bunches of hair on each side of your head. Do this by curling your hair and wearing it puffed out above your ears.
Removing your Princess Leia costume hairstyle is also a treat, because when you uncoil and remove the braids from your hair you will have some wild and wavy hair that is sexy as well as stylish. So, remember this Halloween that a Princess Leia costume is an oldie but a goodie, and the Force isn’t just for the boys!
