Comic Con is an annual gathering of artists, writers, and characters. From the smallest comic book shop to Box Office breaking titles, you can find anything and everything at Comic Con. You can dress up as your favorite character and attend Cosplay events and even meet the stars themselves!
Today we will focus on a costume from a movie that has broken all previous box office records and is still in theaters: The Last Jedi. We will show you how to recreate one character’s look using items available on Amazon!
Poe Dameron is one of the new heroes of the Star Wars universe, played by the hunky Oscar Isaac. He’s a hotshot pilot who doesn’t always follow orders, but he leads a group of pilots called Black Squadron. Poe’s look is not too complicated: black pants, black shirt, and a brown jacket with orange patches. If you have all these items already in your closet, then great! You can add more accessories like Poe’s gloves and helmet to really bring the look together.
If you don’t want to go out and buy all these items, or if they are sold out by now (it is getting close to Halloween after all), then there are some alternatives
Rey’s costume is the most recognizable of all the costumes in the movie and it is easy to make out of items you already have. The outfit consists of a white long sleeve shirt, with tan pants and a brown belt. To make it seem like a more authentic costume you could get a lightsaber that has a blue blade. For most people this is the easiest costume to recreate and I hope to see many of you as Rey at Comic Con!
Princess Leia is the ultimate Star Wars girl. She’s brave, she’s royal, and she can fly a ship and shoot a gun just as well as any man. A Princess Leia costume is a great choice for any woman who wants to be an inspiring heroine at Comic Con or Halloween.
The Most Classic Princess Leia Costume: Hoth Rebel
The Princess Leia Hoth costume is one of the most iconic looks in Star Wars, and it’s also the most practical outfit for a wintertime convention like Salt Lake Comic Con or Denver Comic Con. You can bundle up underneath all those layers of white, and you won’t need to worry about carrying around a coat once you get inside the convention center.
To complete this look, you will need:
● A long white dress, preferably with some sort of full-length fur hood (which you can find at any costume shop). You can usually find good ones at thrift stores, too.
● A pair of silver wrist cuffs (these are available at Amazon or most large retailers).
● A black belt with a small pouch attached to it (again, these are widely available).
● Long blonde hair and blue eyes are definitely optional!
Princess Leia is the ultimate cosplay. But if you’re just now buying your costume a week before you’re set to go, unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. That’s okay! There are plenty of ways to dress like Princess Leia with items you probably already have in your closet or can buy at a store.
Hair: First things first, you’ve gotta get the hair right. For the original trilogy, a side braid is all you need. You can make it yourself by taking two sections of hair from the top of your head and braiding them together down on the side of your head. If you want to be more like The Last Jedi version of Princess Leia, take a portion of hair from each side of your face and braid them together into one braid down the back of your head (or both sides if you want two braids).
What to Wear: There are so many directions you could go here. Really, anything white will work for Princess Leia – even a simple white dress or skirt and blouse combo. But if you wanna step it up a notch, try a white jumpsuit! You can find one at any store that sells costumes in October (like Party City or Spirit) or even Amazon has some options
Princess Leia
Princess Leia was the leader of the rebel alliance and the twin sister of Luke Skywalker. She is one of the most iconic female characters in all of pop culture. Sporting her white dress with a blaster by her side, her costume is a popular choice among Star Wars fans at comic conventions.
We have a lot of Princess Leia costumes on our website, so I’ve picked a few that stand out to me.
The first is this Movie Quality Princess Leia costume. It is an exact replica of the costume worn by Carrie Fisher in A New Hope. This is a great option for any Princess Leia cosplayers who want to make sure their costume is as accurate as possible.
I also really love this Rebel Princess costume because it combines elements from multiple Princess Leia costumes while still being an accurate portrayal. This outfit comes with everything you need: boots, gloves, belt and wig included! If you are looking for something more casual or comfortable, this new Princess Leia tee shirt might be for you!
Princess Leia Organa: The Resistance leader, daughter of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala, and sister of Luke Skywalker.
Leia’s dress has a very fun and unique design. It is a simple sleeveless white dress with a high-necked collar. The collar is made out of a soft material with some gold trim on the edge. Underneath, there is a sheer white shirt that comes to the middle of her chest, which keeps the look modest but still shows off the beautiful neckline.
The skirt of the dress is flared, but not in a bell shape like many dresses are. Instead, it is made up of four long panels that flare out into one longer panel at the bottom. There is an additional panel all around the bottom with some embroidery on it that gives it a bit more flair. This dress will be easy to find as long sleeve white dresses are fairly common and you can remove the sleeves if you want to go sleeveless like Leia.
The skirt also has another panel underneath that has been folded over at the waistline so that it hangs down in front and back. You can do this by taking your dress and folding it over once or twice at the waistline so that it creates an
Princess Leia Organa:
A general and a princess–how could you not love this character? We’ve seen her take on multiple roles all the while keeping a regal, sassy, and sophisticated demeanor. She’s a woman who fights for what she believes in and is unafraid to stand up for herself in the face of adversity. The only thing I would change about this character is her hairstyle. I mean, come on! Her hair doesn’t even move when she’s running from explosions!
The easiest way to achieve Princess Leia’s style is through this costume. This costume includes everything you need–the dress, boots, belt, wig, and of course…cinnamon buns. It’ll be a great way to pay tribute to the late Carrie Fisher and make your fellow Star Wars fans smile. You’ll also be ready to stand alongside Luke Skywalker and Han Solo as they battle the First Order!
