How do I style a kid's hair for a Belle costume?

Pull the top half of the hair into a high ponytail, secure it with a yellow ribbon or bow, and let the rest of the hair hang loose. You can use a curling iron to create soft waves in the loose hair.

What should my child wear under the Belle dress?

A simple pair of yellow or beige leggings and a soft t-shirt will keep them warm and prevent any scratchy tulle from irritating their skin.

Is this costume suitable for school or active play?

Yes, but ensure the skirt hem sits above the ankles to prevent tripping during recess or active play.

Clip the yellow satin bow or tie the yellow ribbon directly over the hair tie at the back of the head.

Makeup & hair

Style the hair in Belle's signature half-up, half-down look, curling the loose bottom sections into soft ringlets. Keep makeup minimal and age-appropriate, such as a touch of pink lip balm or a dusting of light gold shimmer on the cheeks.

couples: Pair with a Beast costume featuring a blue velvet tailcoat and a faux-fur mask.
group: Add characters like Gaston, Lumiere, Cogsworth, or Mrs. Potts for a full Beauty and the Beast group.
kids: This guide is specifically designed for kids and toddlers; look for soft, scratch-free linings in the dress.

Tips

Have your child wear a soft cotton undershirt or tank top beneath the dress to prevent itching from tulle and seams.
If trick-or-treating in cold weather, layer a yellow cardigan or a white faux-fur capelet over the gown.
Choose flat, comfortable shoes like ballet flats or yellow sneakers rather than plastic play heels to prevent tripping.
Keep a safety pin handy to bustle or pin up the skirt if it is slightly too long for walking.
