1. The Timeless Phantom
Pull off a phantom mask and cape to look like that mysterious and dark figure from the opera. Best matched with a formal suit, from polyester corespun thread, with a matching tie or a lovely gown with embroidery done using textured thread for that sophisticated look. But maybe it’s not complete yet, and a top hat combined with a cane will fit perfectly.
The Phantom is purposely and inevitably a tale for all ages. Andrew Lloyd Webber has once again brought the great character of Phantom alive with his mesmerizing musical play adaptation. The scary music, imaginative choreography, and great cast have made the Phantom into legend. Whether by the charms of the presented love tragedy subplot, musically or mystically, the Phantom of the Opera is still an intriguing activist of interest that never loses its charm.
2. The Enchanting Fairy
A fairy costume is one of the most appropriate costumes for a masquerade ball where people dream of acquiring beauty like a fairy. Why not think of yourself as an actual spirit, dancing among the rotation of the fairy spheres? Choose a more elegant, pastel-colored dress that has a long train and would include the usage of lace or tulle. Wear it with colorful wings, a floral wreath, and a magic wand having a crystal on its end. Add soft and glistening makeup and wear your hair in either soft curls or an elegant bun.
If you are looking for something more naughty, then, an emerald green or a dark shade of purple would be the perfect choice. Make it look more gothic by wearing a black velvet corset, fishnet stockings, and a pointed shoe. A dark shade of eye shadow or eye pencil, and a lipstick or lip gloss of the same color will add to your mystique. Of course, this does not mean that a fairy costume cannot be elaborated – it is perfectly suitable for the task, and the purpose of this article is to help you create a fairy costume that would enchant everyone.
3. The Mysterious Rogue
If you want something bolder then try rogue-inspired attire. Originally, just a cloak, a hood, a leather mask, and a sword can help to build an interesting image of the man. Wear it with a specially tailored suit or an elegant leather jacket to get a contemporary feel to it. Avoid the full-face masks that enclose your eyes and your mouth and choose instead one that just covers the upper half of your face. A top hat and cane and a well-placed pocket watch give you an old-world gentleman, spy feel.
This is why it’s very important to pay attention to as many details as possible when choosing a rogue costume. If done correctly, an extra facial expression or a smirk can add to your character and etch itself into people’s memories.
4. The Elegant Venetian
You simply cannot go wrong with the models of the Venetian masquerade ball of the past centuries if you want your event to look truly classic and elegant. A floor-length gown made from velvet or silk, having lace or embroidery work can be something a woman dreams of. Wear it next to a more elaborate, complicated mask that covers the upper part of the face only. Accessories can complement and make the ensemble more refined: satin gloves reaching the elbows, a fan of ostrich feathers, and a large jeweled hair clip.
If you would like something less traditional, you may go for more of a contemporary design but in the motifs of Venetian costumes. Wearing a well-fitted jumpsuit that is made from seductive fabrics like the satin or velvet you can easily complement the outfit with less provocative accessories like a simple eye mask or half-face mask. Put on a piece of glitter with the help of a necklace, shawl/capes, or a pair of gorgeous shoes.
5. The Dazzling Harlequin
The harlequin is the character whom we always associate with the red and green checked outfit and thus is a great idea for entertaining a masquerade. This symbolizes creativity or comedy and mischief and gives a whole new world of possibilities.
In a bid to achieve the harlequin theme, try using the basic colors; red, yellow, and blue. Make sure to wear a patterned top with pants or a skirt in a different colour. Attach a funny collar, a sailor hat and a funny mask. Don’t forget the essential accessory: a jester’s cap with bells.
