Cleopatra Costume Ideas

Cleopatra was probably the most famous Egyptian woman we know. Her beauty is well known and therefore she makes a great character for a fancy dress party. The party could be Egyptian themed or maybe even movie themed but either way Cleopatra is a great choice for any woman to dress up as. Cleopatra was also very sexy and therefore she is not only a suitable character for fancy dress parties but also for the home to impress a partner with. She really was the diva of her era and many were under her spell. So if you want something special to wear and want to make a great impression think about Cleopatra costumes and other Egyptian outfits.

There are some great Cleopatra fancy dress outfits available online and creating the full look is very easy to do. The actual main part of the outfit normally consists of a white dress and then has accessories to go with it. The main accessories are waist ties, such as sash's, headgear, wigs and of course gold jewellery for which Cleopatra was well known for. Cleopatra wore colourful accessories to bring out the outfit and make it much more attractive. The jewellery added the glamour and her wigs and hair was styled in many beautiful styles from straight black hair to hair decorated with beads and headbands.

Regarding footwear a nice pair of plainish sandals or flip flops will go well with the outfit. A tan or brownish colour would be the most appropriate colour as this was the main colour of the era.

If you are going to the party with a partner you may want to consider dressing up as a Roman soldier or maybe Julius Caesar whom was said to have had a long relationship with Cleopatra. Again Roman outfits are easy to achieve. They normally involve a cloth, mainly Red, being worn as a Tunic, then maybe a leather belt, a shield and a sword. Again brown sandals would be appropriate footwear to finish the outfit and maybe a headband made of leaves will add to the authenticity.

Cleopatra and Egyptian costumes are also suitable for children. The outfits are of the same style and little girls will love all the jewellery and beading that goes with these outfits. Roman outfits are great for boys and they will love the shields and swords that accompany the costume.
