Cleopatra was a regal Egyptian figure known as the Queen of the Nile. Given her elegance and the Egyptian fascination with the dead, Cleopatra makes a fitting choice for Halloween. A costume featuring her can be glamorous, creepy or both, as desired by whoever is wearing the costume.
In order to dress like Cleopatra, you need to come up with an ensemble that is in some way representative of ancient Egyptian fashions. Most costumes incorporate a gold skirt or a white one with gold accents, though some go darker and create a flowing black outfit. Whatever the color pattern, there should be a flowing look to the garment. Most often, a Cleopatra costume will include a white or gold cape. In some instances, this cape may be decorated to look like wings, giving the impression that Cleopatra is capable of flight.
While the weather in late October is often on the chilly side, many choose to wear sandals as part of a Cleopatra costume. Another option would be any type of shoe that includes gold. Of course, people tend not to pay very much attention to what is on the feet. A headband of gold with beaded accents is generally a part of such a costume as well. The Egyptian headdress is perhaps the most readily recognizable element of a Cleopatra costume. Girls who do not have black hair may want to dye it for the occasion, as she is always depicted with straight black hair.
Another element common to Cleopatra costumes is makeup. Heavily lidded eyes is the norm, with gold or turquoise frequently used prominently. Some may also choose to paint Egyptian symbols on their cheeks or foreheads. Others might prefer to whiten their faces to give this Cleopatra a ghostly look.
Whatever the particulars of her appearance, Cleopatra is a character who carries herself with a royal bearing, so hold your head high when you go out into the world as this legendary Egyptian. A classy Cleopatra costume has the capacity to turn heads and is likely to be discussed favorably among friends the next day.
