How to put it together
- 1
Style the blonde wig by brushing out the curls gently and setting the rolled bangs with hairspray, or style your natural hair.
- 2
Secure your hair under a wig cap and place the blonde wig on your head, securing it with bobby pins.
- 3
Put on the pink ballgown, ensuring the white off-the-shoulder collar lays flat and pointed.
- 4
Fasten the gold collar necklace around your neck.
- 5
Place the gold tiara on your head, pinning it into the wig or your hair so it doesn't slip.
- 6
Slip into your comfortable pink or nude pumps.
- 7
Finish the look with a simple pink lipstick that matches the shade of your gown.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup classic and soft with a flawless matte base, neutral eyeshadow, winged black eyeliner, and a prominent pink lipstick. For hair, style voluminous, bouncy golden-blonde curls with a distinct rolled fringe or bang pinned at the front.

Sleeping Beauty costume FAQ
- Is Sleeping Beauty's dress pink or blue?
- While the fairies fight over pink and blue in the film, her most iconic and widely recognized Disney merchandise look is the hot pink gown.
- What can I wear instead of the pink gown?
- You can go as 'Briar Rose' (her peasant disguise) using a grey long-sleeved shirt, a black corset belt, a brown midi skirt, and a purple headscarf.
- How do I get Aurora's signature bangs?
- Use a round brush and a blow dryer (or a curling iron) to roll the front section of hair upward and back, then spray heavily with hairspray to hold the wave.
