Make a Wonder Woman Halloween Costume in 5 Easy Steps

Wonder Woman Halloween costumes are some of the most sought-after Halloween costumes for women each season and are a relatively easy costume to put together yourself. While you can purchase a pre-packaged Wonder Woman Halloween costume with all the basic accessories, most of the pieces can be found at regular clothing and accessory stores and making it yourself means you can add your own personality and style to the mix. Here's how to make a Wonder Woman Halloween costume in five simple steps:

Step 1: Find some dark blue shorts or a blue skirt. One of the signature pieces of the Wonder Woman Halloween costume is the dark blue shorts with a white stripe. The best place to find these is in the swimsuit department, but if you don't feel comfortable wearing the shorts, you can also go for a dark blue miniskirt. Stick on or sew on some shiny silver stars around the hem for extra appeal.

Step 2:Wear a red bustier. A shiny red bustier is another signature piece of the Wonder Woman Halloween costume. You can find this at many costume stores, or just stick with a form-fitting red tank top or v-neck top that you can tuck into the skirt or shorts in Step 1. Choose the shiniest material possible - ideally, it will be a blend of Lycra, sateen and cotton.

Step 3: Add Wonder Woman accessories. Wonder Woman accessories include gold or red knee high boots and a shiny gold lasso. You can also wear silver or gold gauntlets to finish your look.

Step 4: Style your hair like Wonder Woman. If you purchased a tiara that matches the accessories in Step 4, you can wear this at the top of your head as you sculpt and style your layers around it. If you're not wearing a tiara, you can stick with a simple blue, red or gold headband, and style your hair for maximum volume around it.

Step 5: Add the cape. One of the most important pieces of the Wonder Woman Halloween costume is the red cape. It's the finishing touch to your ensemble, and choosing one with a sparkling glitter or glossy finish will help you replicate this superhero's look.

When you have the boots, cape, dress and tiara together, you can make a winning Halloween costume that is sure to turn a few heads. Young girls, teens and women of all ages can all sport the Wonder Woman costume this Halloween without too much sewing and crafting, and you can personalize this look with glitter tattoos, glamorous makeup and other accessories. Use these simple steps to create your superhero costume for any Halloween party or event this season.
