This Jaw-Droppping Cleopatra DIY Is for You, Costume Queen

Misty Spinney
Sep 01, 2018

Not sure what to be this Halloween? Instead of joining a group of pals as yet another Snapchat filter, why not stand out with a costume that’s part Ancient Egyptian, part badass babe? Cleopatra is the ultimate Halloween look, and with a little patience, some careful eyeliner, and well-chosen accessories, you’ll be able to craft up a Queen-of-Egypt-inspired Halloween costume that’s sure to blow everyone away. And since not everyone is a DIY pro, we’re going to show you how to do a Cleopatra costume no matter whether you’re a beginner or a master-level costumer.

DIY Expert Cleopatra Halloween Costume

Now that we’ve covered the basics — with tutorials for every novice, intermediate crafter, and budding expert — it’s time to leave it to the DIY pros. Here, you’ll learn how to accentuate your Cleopatra Halloween costume with next-level garments, bling to the nines, eye-catching accessories, and an expert level face beat inspired by the one and only Liz Taylor as Cleopatra. So what’re you waiting for?

You’ll need:

How to put it all together:

1. Try your hand at styling. Even though you’ve bought a wig with bangs, there’s a good chance that they’re not cut to Cleopatra’s liking. Lay your wig flatand use a pair of ultra-sharp scissors to snip the bangs a tad shorter than they already are. The goal isn’t so much baby fringe as it is micro bangs, so be sure to cut them about an inch up from your brows. To make sure you have the right length, try the wig on first to get a feel for how much to cut.

2. Customize your crown. Take your thrift store belt or chain, break it in half, and hot glue it to the sides of your gold leaf crown for a little extra bling.

3. Accentuate with accessories. Wrap the gold belt or collar necklace around your neck. You can secure it with a chain or create a latch system using Velcro. Next, insert your snake earrings, wrap your arm cuff around your bicep, and snap your bangle onto your wrist. Remember, more is more when it comes to Cleopatra.

4. Master your makeup. Begin with our flawless face base makeup. Once your base is complete, dust a royal blue eyeshadow across your eye lids — for your creases, use a slightly darker shade of the same color, and a slightly lighter, brighter shade for your brow bones and inner eye corners. The goal is to make your eyes really pop. After you’ve slayed your Cleopatra-inspired statement eye, create the queen’s signature brows with black face paint. Try not to be intimidated, as the dark, high-pigmented color will help bring her bold look to life. To keep things looking natural and not chunky, however, be sure to brush your brows out. Next comes eyeliner. Start at the inside corners of your eyes, take it around the rim, and outside the lower lash line to create an elongated, winged effect. For serious pharaoh vibes, bring the inside corners of your eyeliner slightly onto the sides of the bridge of your nose, while extending your outer edge for a more geometric shape. (Since this eyeliner look is a tad trickier, make sure to have Q-Tips and micellar water on hand for any touch-ups.) Round out your look with a set of voluminous false lashes, a swipe of bronze blush, and a classic nude lip for the perfect take on the Queen of Egypt’s unde-NILE-ble beauty.

Spooky season might be over, but it's *always* a good idea to dress your dog up for Thanksgiving if they don't mind!!

Keep reading for the cutest and easiest DIY dog turkey costume!

I’ve been making a lot of pet costumes this year, but this one has been high on my list for a long time. With some felt and One-Wrap Velcro, we created this pet costume in no time at all.

How To Make A Dog Turkey Costume

Tools And Materials:

  • red, orange, yellow and white felt
  • cardboard
  • One-Wrap Velcro
  • pen
  • fabric scissors
  • hot glue gun

Instructions:

1. Draw large, long oval feathers on your yellow felt. Stack the yellow felt on top of the orange felt and cut them both out. Next, draw a curved rectangular shape on the white felt and cut it out.

2. Hot glue the white rectangular shapes to the feathers, then glue the feathers to one another to create a fan shape.

3. Glue a horizontal strip of cardboard to the back of the feathers to help them stand upright.

4. Hot glue a piece of felt to each edge of the feathers and attach a strip of One-Wrap Velcro that is long enough to wrap around your dog’s belly.

5. Cut out a gobble from red felt and attach some One-Wrap Velcro.

Draw 12 long feathers on your yellow felt. Stack the yellow felt on top of the orange felt and cut out your feathers. Cut 12 white curved rectangular pieces to accent the feathers.

Glue the white pieces to the feathers and then glue the feathers to one another into a fan shape.

Attach a long strip of cardboard to the back of the feathers to help them stand up straight once the dog turkey costume is assembled.

Hot glue a piece of felt to each edge of the feathers and attach a strip of One-Wrap Velcro that is long enough to wrap around your dog’s belly.

Draw a gobble onto a piece of red felt, cut it out and glue it to a small piece of One-Wrap Velcro.

Hey Turkey — here’s your turkey costume!

Attach the gobble to your dog by wrapping the One-Wrap Velcro around the collar.

Cutest turkey I ever did see!

Sorry Y'all, Matthew Macfadyen’s A Better Mr. Darcy Than Colin Firth

I know what you might be thinking: WHOA! Matthew Macfadyen is better than Colin Firth?! As someone who grew up watching the 1995 BBC Pride & Prejudice at least once a year, the TV show is foundational to my relationship with media — but I can't deny that the Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation with Keira Knightley totally changed everything. And in honor of the Pride & Prejudice 20th anniversary this year, my co-host Kayla and I chat all about it on the latest episode of Brit + Co's Yap City podcast.

Here are our honest thoughts on the 2005 Pride & Prejudice, Matthew Macfadyen's Mr. Darcy, and the hand flex.

The Battle of the Darcy's: Matthew Macfadyen VS. Colin Firth

In this week's episode of Yap City, we're talking all things Pride & Prejudice, Mr. Darcy, and historical romance. The 2005 adaptation starring Keira Knightley as Lizzy Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy (which turns 20 on November 11) is returning to select theaters April 20.

"I've grown to love the 2005 version with Keira Knightley more just because it makes me feel so deeply and I just always feel so many butterflies in my stomach by the end," I say in the latest episode. "I feel like it's more a more emotional depiction of the story."

"I'm definitely team 2005," Kayla agrees. "I just think the cast of 2005 is better in my opinion, and it does a good job of being like ethereal and just fully immersing you into what I imagine Jane Austen's world was or what she wanted it to be when she was writing."

Both the 2005 and the 1995 Pride & Prejudice give us some seriously swoon-worthy moments from Mr. Darcy like Colin Firth diving into a lake or Matthew Macfadyen walking through the fog. "Every single time, no matter how many times I watch it, I always think the camera is going to pan or it's gonna cut to Elizabeth," I say. "Something about it just makes me feel at peace."

But there's nothing as immortal as Mr. Darcy's hand flex.

What does Mr. Darcy's hand flex mean?

One of the most enduring moments from the movie (if not in 21st century cinema) is when Mr. Darcy helps Elizabeth into a carriage, and then flexes his hand as he walks back into the house. But what does the hand flex mean?

"He was so affected by touching her hand, because men and women didn't really touch unless it was moments like you were helping them into the carriage or escorting them somewhere," Kayla points out. But that's not the only reason she loves Matthew's version of Mr. Darcy over Colin Firth's.

"I just think he fully captured [the] gentleness that he had towards her while also maintaining that straightforward bluntness that kind of has you wonder if he's rude or if that's just how he is," she continues.

"Matthew has really grown on me because I feel like he has a sweetness that some of the other adaptations didn't give me as a viewer or I didn't pick up on them in the same way," I agree. "When you reach the end of the 2005 Pride & Prejudice, and even when you rewatch, you can identify that he really is just uncomfortable and anxious instead of just straight mean."

Where can I watch Pride & Prejudice 2005?

Pride & Prejudice is re-releasing in theaters for a limited time starting April 20, 2025. You can also stream it on Netflix right now.

Who's in the Pride & Prejudice cast?

The Pride & Prejudice cast makes this one of the best movies of the 2000s. Here's who you'll see in the movie:

  • Keira Knightley as Elizabeth "Lizzy" Bennet: an intelligent, headstrong woman determined to marry for love.
  • Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy: the new wealthy bachelor in town who appears to have a chip on his shoulder.
  • Rosamund Pike as Jane Bennet: Lizzy's romantic and gentle older sister who falls for Mr. Bingley.
  • Simon Woods as Charles Bingley: Mr. Darcy's friendly and kind best friend who falls for Jane.
  • Rupert Friend as George Wickham: a mysterious figure from Darcy's past who turns Lizzy's head.
  • Brenda Blethyn as Mrs. Bennet: Lizzy's dramatic mother who wants to see all five of her daughters married.
  • Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennet: Lizzy's quiet father who loves to sit and read in his study.
  • Jena Malone as Lydia Bennet: Lizzy's youngest sister whose behavior borders on scandalous.
  • Carey Mulligan as Catherine "Kitty" Bennet: Lizzy's second-youngest sister who feels overshadowed by Lydia.
  • Talulah Riley as Mary Bennet: The studious middle Bennet sister who plays the piano.
  • Tom Hollander as Mr. Collins: a Bennet cousin who's next in line to inherit their home.
  • Judi Dench as Lady Catherine de Bourgh: Mr. Darcy's wealthy and esteemed aunt.
  • Kelly Reilly as Caroline Bingley: Mr. Bingley's sister.
  • Tamzin Merchant as Georgiana Darcy: Mr. Darcy's younger sister.
  • Claudie Blakley as Charlotte Lucas: Lizzy's best friend.
  • Cornelius Booth as Colonel Fitzwilliam: Mr. Darcy's cousin.
  • Penelope Wilton as Mrs. Gardiner: Lizzy's aunt.
  • Peter Wight as Mr. Gardiner: Lizzy's uncle.
