How to put it together

1
Choose your character path: opt for Bella's layered, practical look or Edward's structured, cool-toned ensemble.
2
Apply a very pale foundation or face powder to mimic the signature cold, vampire-like complexion.
3
If dressing as Edward, style your hair into a messy, voluminous, windblown pompadour using strong-hold gel.
4
If dressing as Bella, wear your hair down in loose, natural waves and slide on a thin, simple headband.
5
Put on the dark wash jeans, layered shirts, and the signature outerwear (the blue shirt or grey pea coat).
6
Dust the body shimmer powder generously over your neck, collarbones, and face to get the sparkling vampire effect in the light.
7
Accessorize with the Cullen crest jewelry or carry a prop apple to reference the famous book cover.

Makeup & hair

For Edward, style brown hair into a tall, messy pompadour and use light makeup to create pale skin with dark under-eye circles. For Bella, style hair in loose, center-parted brown waves with minimal, natural makeup and a thin headband.

Twilight for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: Pair Bella Swan in her blue jacket and headband with Edward Cullen in his grey pea coat and messy hair.
group: Gather a group to dress as the Cullen family (Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle) in coordinated cool-grey and black outfits.
kids: Dress a child in a plaid shirt, jeans, and a tiny Cullen crest patch for a mini-vampire look.
Plus size: Both Bella's layered flannels and Edward's classic pea coat are highly flattering and easily sourced in all sizes.
pet: Dress a dog in a tiny brown faux-fur vest to represent Jacob Black in wolf form.

Tips

To stand out as Edward, make sure to apply the body shimmer heavily on exposed skin like your hands and neck for outdoor daytime photos.
For Bella's look, carry a red apple in your hands to instantly reference the iconic cover art of the first Twilight book.
Keep the color palette strictly cool-toned: think slate greys, deep blues, forest greens, and cool browns to match the movie's famous color grading.
