What is the 'Secret Lab' version of this costume?

Instead of their palace wear, you both wear white lab coats, safety goggles, and pink rubber gloves. Kronk carries a test tube, and Yzma wears a matching pink lab mask.

How do I make Yzma's eyelashes look so long?

Use extra-long, dramatic costume eyelashes, or cut black cardstock into spidery lash shapes and carefully glue them to the eyelids with eyelash adhesive.

Is this costume comfortable for a long night out?

Yes, especially if Kronk wears comfortable sandals and Yzma opts for black flats instead of high heels under her long gown.

How to put it together

1
Put on Yzma's black halter gown and secure the high slit so it sits comfortably.
2
Drape the purple feather collar around the neck, securing it at the back.
3
Wrap the purple headpiece snugly around the hair, ensuring the central jewel is centered on the forehead.
4
Have Kronk put on the blue tunic, then layer the gold collar piece over the shoulders.
5
Fasten the wide gold belt around Kronk's waist and slide on the matching gold wrist cuffs.
6
Place Kronk's gold headpiece on, aligning it straight above the brow.
7
Finish both looks with simple sandals—brown or gold for Kronk, black strappy heels or flats for Yzma.

Makeup & hair

For Yzma, apply pale lavender face makeup, dramatic dark purple eyeshadow, and drawn-on ultra-thin, high-arched eyebrows with long, spidery false eyelashes. Kronk requires no special hair if wearing his headpiece, but a strong, contoured jawline using bronzer helps capture his animated look.

Kronk and Yzma for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: One person dresses as Yzma in her black gown, and the other dresses as Kronk in his blue and gold guard outfit.
group: Add Kuzco (as a human or a llama) and Pacha to create a full Emperor's New Groove group.
kids: A mini Kronk in a blue tunic and a mini Yzma with a oversized purple feather collar make for an adorable sibling costume.
Plus size: A stretchy black velvet maxi dress works beautifully for Yzma; Kronk's tunic can be made from an oversized soft cotton tee for a comfortable fit.
pet: Dress a pet dog as Kuzco the llama using a small red saddle blanket and a gold collar.

Tips

Carry a small glass vial filled with blue liquid (colored water or sports drink) labeled with a skull or a llama picture as 'the poison for Kuzco'.
If Yzma's feather collar is itchy, line the inside neckband with soft purple felt.
For a hilarious alternative 'Secret Lab' variant, wear white lab coats, safety goggles, and pink rubber gloves while carrying test tubes.
Practice your poses: Yzma should look dramatic and angular, while Kronk should strike heroic, muscular poses.
