Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)

Here's a cool group costume ideas for you and your friends to try out: Disney Villainesses. There's loads of sexy and beautiful Disney Villain costumes for you to check out, and this post is going to feature my favorite. First of all, we have the evil sorceress Maleficent, the witch who cursed baby Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty and will be the star of the upcoming movie, Maleficent. You can find more Maleficent costumes here as well.

The Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves)
Leg Avenue 3PC.Evil Queen
Next up is Disney's very first villainess, the nameless evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. She's vain, devious, and willing to do whatever it takes to be the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. The costume above is my favorite Queen costume, a slinky and sexy dress with high collar and matching crown. With this costume, you are sure to be the fairest in all the land. Or else.

Ursula (The Little Mermaid)
Leg Avenue Disney 2Pc.Ursula Velvet Dress with Tentacle Skirt and Clear Straps, Black/Purple
Ursula, the big bad of The Little Mermaid has my favorite villain song (Poor Unfortunate Souls, check it out!) and is one of the more unique Disney Villains, what with being an octopus and all. The costume above is what inspired me to create this post, because its really awesome - a dress with 3D tentacles emerging from the skirt. Its really eye-catching, and I love it to bits. If you choose this one, be sure to pick up the matching wig here. Here's a cute alternative style of dress without tentacles for you to check out too.

Cruella de Vil (101 Dalmatians)

Leg Avenue Disney 4Pc.Cruella Dress Bolero Straps Furry Wrap
Big dog lover? I bet you loved Disney's 101 Dalmatians. Cruella de Vil is one scary lady, and she has a very unique and sexy look that you can co-opt into your party costume. You can get the matching wig you see in the picture here. Pick up a black faux cigarette holder to finish off the look. If you want a more modest look with a longer dress skirt, check out this cute costume which comes with the dress, the gloves, a matching wig and the plush white stole.

The Queen of Hearts and The Red Queen (Alice in Wonderland)

The Alice in Wonderland movies provide two great royal villainesses to add to the group of femme fatales: The Red Queen (from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, featured on the right) and the Queen of Hearts (the villain of the original Alice in Wonderland movie, featured above). Both fiery, both with a terrible temper, these are two crazy ladies you do not want to cross. They are also a tonne of fun to cosplay as. 

The two regal villains have really cool, recognizable and eye catching outfits which you can tailor to your style: both full length ballgowns and short and sexy versions are available for you to check out. 

If you liked the idea, you can find more Red Queen costumes and accessories here, and more Queen of Hearts costumes here. If you are looking for more character costumes from the Alice in Wonderland franchise, you can find loads here.

So there you go, there are my Disney Villainess costume ideas for a group costume outing. Hope you found some cool ideas for your party! If you liked this post and want more ideas, be sure to check out the rest of my blog for all the best costume ideas for women on the net!

Group Costume Ideas: Alice in Wonderland

Disguise Alice in Wonderland Costume
Here's a really cool group costume idea: Alice and Wonderland. Whether you are a fan of the original Disney movie or Tim Burton's re-imagining (or both!), there's plenty of recognizable and fun characters in the series to give everyone an awesome costume to wear. Get your friends together, pick a character and hit the town. First up, someone has to be the heroine, Alice herself. Check out my top five Alice in Wonderland costumes here.
Disguise Women's Red Queen Deluxe (Movie)
Fans of the Tim Burton movie and Helena Bonham-Carter should have a lot of fun dressing up as the Red Queen, so why not pick a beautiful Red Queen costume for Halloween? There are long, flowing ball gown versions of her outfit, as well as sexy short cuts and lots of matching accessories to complete the look.  Check out my guide on cosplaying as the Red Queen here to see them all!

If the Red Queen isn't your thing, a fantastic alternative is the Queen of Hearts, for a fun night of yelling at your Card Guards to cut off people's heads and playing a little flamingo croquet. There's a wide range of Queen of Hearts costumes, from ball gowns like the one above, to sexy mini-dresses, all in a wide array of color schemes and styles. Check out my Top Five Queen of Hearts costumes if you are interested!

Sexy Wonderland Cat Costume
Here's one of the most famous Wonderland denizens, the elusive and mysterious Cheshire Cat. The dress of the costume above has a sweet matching tail, and you get everything you see in the photo: the stockings, gloves, headband, shrug and choker. I advise picking up a pink petticoat to give the skirt some lift. In addition, here is a really funky pair of shoes that match perfectly!

Sexy Mad Hatter Adult Costume

Last time I went to a fancy dress party, I went as the Mad Hatter, and the costume above is the one I chose! I really recommend it, its super cute. If you fancy cosplaying as the Mad Hatter, this is the type of costume with the most variety - costume creators have really gone wild with color scheme choices and styles. Check out my top five Mad Hatter costumes here to see my personal favorites!.

Queen of Hearts Card Adult Costume
Finally, every Queen needs a card guard. The costume above comes with the card costume and even a matching crown. A cool idea might be to have one girl (like the birthday girl) dress up as one of the queens, and everyone else goes as a guard! So there you go, a quick guide to dressing up as the characters from Alice and Wonderland and hitting the town with your friends.

How to Cosplay as the Red Queen (Alice in Wonderland)

Queen Adult Costume
Loved Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland? So did I, that's what has inspired me to make this post detailing how to cosplay as the Red Queen, voiced by Helena Bonham-Carter. Its a colorful, very eye-catching look, plus its fun to run around parties asking who ate all the tarts. Its perfect for Halloween. Lets get going then! Can't be late.

To start of with, you'll need the basic dress. There are two options, the first being a long skirted dress which is most true to the original design, featured above. It comes with a petticoat to give the skirt some lift, so you don't have to worry about that, plus you get a free crown as well.

The second option is a more sassy, sexy and flirty version of the costume with a shorter skirt, featured on the right. This outfit comes with the costume dress, a petticoat to give it some volume, a collar with attached choker, a cute little crown and a pair of white knee high stockings.

Once you've chosen your costume, let me suggest some fun accessories for it. This red royal sceptre goes fantastically with either outfit, as does this pair of red and black shoes by Pleaser. These black baby-doll Mary Janes by Leg Avenue also look great with both costumes.


Red Queen Wig
Once you have the costume down, its time to fluff up your hair and do your makeup. Above is cute Red Queen wig that you can buy to get the look quickly, easily, and without the need to perm and dye the living daylights out of your hair. Meanwhile, below is a fun tutorial on how to achieve the Red Queen's makeup, using Snazaroo Facepaint (White), talcum powder, Urban Decay Eyeshadow (Painkiller), elf Liquid Liner and MAC Lipstick (Red).


And there you have it! One quick and easy Red Queen costume that is sure to look amazing regardless of the occasion. I hope you found everything you are looking for, and if you enjoyed this post and its suggestions be sure to check out the rest of my blog for all the best costume ideas for women on the net!
