9 Ways To Dress Like A Disney Princess

Halloween is one of the glorious days of each year when you can let your inner princess out in her full glory. Disney Princess Halloween costumes let you go full-on glam with big puffy dresses, big hair, and the whole bit. It's like a glam Christmas or glam birthday all wrapped into one. And oh, the glitter possibilities!

But what's even better is that if you love princesses, but don't want to (or have the means to) get all decked out in head-to-toe royalty, you can go simple and still make a recognizable statement as your favorite character.

DIY queens have plenty of options to craft dresses, shoes, accessories, and more, while those who'd rather not can buy a whole costume online in one shot. And those of you who are most excited about the Disney princess makeup looks can contour and eyeline your hearts out with everything from your Sephora splurges to your drugstore magic essentials. And don't get me started on the hair possibilities.

Just remember, when it comes to princesses of differing ethnicities, there's a fine line between joyful appreciation and offensive appropriation. (When in doubt, refer here, here, or here).

Now go forth and prepare to open up a box of Princess butt-kicking magic.
