While Aladdin is a story for children, there’s no reason why adults couldn’t dream. Time to shrug off that business suit and dress as the street urchin who falls in love with a princess, and whose love is returned! And if you feel more like a princess than an office worker chained to a computer, let go your hair, put on that Disney crown and wrap yourself in gauzy layers of luxurious royal silk. These Arabian costumes are not only fun and comfortable, but they are also sensual, exotic and sexy. After all, Jasmine’s outfit is that of an exotic belly dancer.
Aladdin Costumes for Women
Jasmine is one of the most popular of Disney princesses. This lonely princess is caged in her own world, without being able to exercise her free will, and looking for love. Unlike other princesses, her outfit consists of a halter top and puffy pants, and is definitely one of the best choices when it comes to being an exotic and sensual princess. The turquoise costume with sleeveless top and puffy pants is comfortable, lightweight and sexy and it will beautifully complement your features. There is also a version with puffy sleeves, suitable for those living in colder areas.
If you want a Princess Jasmine costume, but the turquoise outfit is not on your taste you can go for a purple or red exotic dancer that you can easily transform in a Jasmine outfit. You will need matching elastic hair bands, a headband in the color of the costume and some golden accessories to match those Jasmine wore in the animation. Use some make-up to reproduce the special tan skin color and the physical appearance specific for the princess of Agrabah.
Aladdin Costumes for Men
While there are a few male characters in Aladdin to chose from, the main character will likely be your best choice, especially if you are going as a couple. Probably the most popular costume from Aladdin is the royal Prince costume, the outfit worn by Aladdin when trying to convince Jasmine that he was really a prince. The costume includes a pair of white puffy pants, white shirt with golden trim, golden belt and matching cuffs. The Aladdin costume is completed by a white and golden Arabic headpiece and a blue cape.
If you like more the looks of a rebel, then you can choose to be Aladdin, the orphan boy who needed to steal in order to get something to eat. For this costume you will need a purple vest left unbuttoned (preferably without buttons at all), a pair of white puffy pants and a brown large belt to keep your pants in place. This is a simple costume, yet it has great effect upon those seeing it, so there are great chances to have more admirers than the real princes and kings.
If you feel like dressing more as a comical or magical creature,the blue Genie will definitely be for you. You are not only the beholder of wishes, you also have the muscles to back it up! The Genie costume includes a blue muscular torso, blue pants and a large red belt. It also comes with matching mask, so that in a matter of moments you will transform into a genie. Go ahead and dispense wishes for your friends!
Looking for something more serious, shiny and sparkling? Then the Sultan costume will probably be more on your taste. Do you want to be mean? Then go for the Jafar costume.
Regardless of the Aladdin costume you choose to wear for Halloween, make sure you convey the message rightly. Due to the similitude in style and looks many people may think your character is historical (Ottoman Sultan), while Jasmine outfit may be taken for a belly dancer costume. In these cases, little details as well as the attitude make the difference.
