Ice Queen Costume for Adults

I always envisage an Ice Queen as having long blonde or white hair. You could just use your own hair but it's nice to dress up so you look completely different. I also love the idea of dark hair with a white or silver streak of hair running through it which could be achieved with a clip in hair extension. That would give a bit of a vamp or goth look to your winter queen.

You can get some really amazing Ice Queen Wigs at eBay which will really make you stand out. Even some that have tinted ice blue streaks at the front.

What shoes would an Ice Queen wear? So long as you're not really going to be out in the cold, some pretty silver sandals (high or flats) with some sparkling rhinestones or swarovski crystal decoration to give the appearance of ice would look stunning. Elegant and strappy sandals would work best if you have a thin fabric dress and cloak.

To match up with a thick faux fur cloak, cape, stole or shrug - I'd recommend attractive, knee-high white boots with a wedge heel (gives you height with comfort) and faux fur lining on the boot tops which you can easily add yourself if your boots don't have this cute feature.

When putting together a costume or outfit, it's often the small, attention to detail items that really make a costume and also style it as being uniquely yours.

This is even more important if you bought your outfit because maybe someone else is wearing the exact same thing. So you want to add in your own accessories so you ensure that you definitely don't look the carbon copy of someone else.

What accessories would an Ice Queen wear? I'd expect her to look like she's got an icy, frosty or snowy exterior. Going with some snowflake accessories like a diamond or sparkling rhinestone pendant necklace or earrings would work well.

Drape yourself in jewelry and hair accessories that sparkle and shine. A tiara or a hair ornament that has the appearance of being made from beads of ice. Rhinestones, diamonds, white pearls, glitter, white feathers.

Another wonderful idea is to get hold of some lace and satin-like fingerless, long gloves which can truly transform a plain dress into something more graceful and looks great worn with or without a cape. The lace on these gloves is so delicate that it has the appearance of snowflakes.

You can find plenty of these stunning Bridal Fingerless Lace Gloves over at eBay.com.

For that elegant and regal Ice Queen style, you really just need to focus on the eye makeup which will give you the most dramatic look. A nude shade of lipstick with just a slick of gloss on top is all you need on your lips. If there's one thing I've learned from years of makeup tips with my really sophisticated sister, you either go all out on your eyes OR your lips but never both because then you look overdone!

I'd recommend some sultry and smoky silver gray eyes with black eyeliner and mascara as shown here. Or you could go for ice blue eyes with white eyeliner and a white mascara or fake eyelashes. Either will give an amazing Ice Queen look.
