As the holiday season is upon us all, it is time to think about giving your best friends and family members a truly unique Christmas gift. For your super-friends you should consider putting some super-heroine flair into your presents this year. A super-heroine style wardrobe could end up being a great choice as strong female characters are in vogue right now and these costumes can be worn to parties throughout the year.
In this post, we look at five super-heroine costumes that are inspired from recent superhero films and would make this Christmas's present giving "super" memorable!
Catwoman
A black leather jumpsuit makes up the majority of Catwoman’s costume. However, getting the measurement exactly right is very important. Take your cues from someone who has brought the fictional feline femme fatale to life in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. In a 2012 interview, MTV reported actress Anne Hathaway, a true professional on the film, disregarded any and every form of discomfort the bodysuit imposed and focused on the portrayal above anything else. This dedication to her role can be replicated in your present buying. If the fit of the costume isn’t exactly right, you can apply your sewing skills and turn it into Michelle Pfeiffer’s version of Catwoman in 1992’s Batman Returns. What better way to spread the holidays than giving a friend the chance to dress like the classic bad girl of the comics.
Wonder Woman
2017 is really only about one superhero and her name is Wonder Woman. Collider revealed that Wonder Woman was the top-grossing superhero movie of the year, and Gal Gadot’s portrayal is already being called the best part of the upcoming male-dominated Justice League film. Wonder Woman has always been a female icon and the character’s stature has only grown this year with many entertainment outlets celebrating the character. Digital entertainment platform Slingo has an array of superhero games, including a Wonder Woman game that features the original Linda Carter version of the character. The fact that the game focuses on a past version of Wonder Woman shows how fans from all backgrounds want to interact and honor the character.
A Wonder Women costume would the perfect gift for a strong friend in your life who has inspired and taken care of you. There are many variations of the costume available with the Linda Carter version being the most iconic and famous. If you can’t find a complete costume then a Wonder Women kitchen apron is a fun way to show your appreciation and sense of humor to friends and family
Harley Quinn
Harley Quinn is a very edgy character and that’s why it’s no surprise that its popularity has skyrocketed in recent years. If you have a friend who has a wild side (although hopefully not a master criminal side) then a Harley Quinn costume would be perfect. For Quinn, it’s the bat, the boots, and the jester look. These are the key pieces that can either come as stand-alone gifts or as a set (although you may have to buy the baseball bat separately).
Poison Ivy
Red-orange hair and shades of lime green dictate what makes any costume Poison-Ivy-worthy. However, you can always start with the most obvious. You can give your Poison Ivy friend premium hair coloring products and implements that replicate the character’s bright locks. This way, you bring her a step closer to realizing this unique supervillain.
Who says Christmas is just wearing Santa's elves' costumes and white fairies?
Christmas is the time for dressing up what you want, and have some fun!
wow! Creative idea. Something that i can ask my friends to try out!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Who says we can't wear super hero costumes during Christmas?!
DeleteI wanna be harley Quinn next as I have dressed up as The Joker of Suicide Squad. hahaha. In my dreams.
ReplyDeleteHahaha am also thinking of dressing as Harley Quinn this Christmas to troll my friends!
DeleteLet's hear it for strong women characters in books and movies! I have a Wonder Woman coffee mug now at home and it brings a smile to my face every time I use it. Though my friends would die of laughter at a costume, I think I will gift them with a Wonder Woman coffee mug like mine.
ReplyDeleteLOL That's awesome!
DeleteHey Justice League movie is finally out! Wonder Woman is slaying the movie :D
I think wonder woman will be a great costume this year for Christmas. I'll tell my girlfriend about it. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's awesome as well. And just add a Santa hat with Wonder Woman costume!
DeleteThat's some daring ideas to try!
ReplyDeleteLOL I know right!
DeleteI never say no for a costym party whether is christmas or not! I would love walking in a family christmas party dressing like a Harley Quinn..😂 This year we will be about 50 people under the same root.
ReplyDeleteYeah, dressing up differently is cool! Have a break on wearing those Mom's Christmas sweaters with deer-headbands this holidays. LOL
DeleteIt a creative idea for wearing this costume for Christmas. For me, dream to be like Cat Woman..sexy & daring meowwwww.
ReplyDeletehahaha me too! Then I'll tag my cat bestie with me :D
DeleteHow fun are these costumes, I especially like Poison Ivy, very cool!
ReplyDeleteExactly! I think Poison Ivy is a botanist, obsessed with plants :D She could be a great environmentalist.
DeleteIf I wore the outfit from the first model (the one with the carrots) no one would be surprised because I am a vegetarian and LOVE my veggies. ha ha
ReplyDeleteLOL OMG yeah me too! I would love to wear carrots-inspired. BTW that one is from Dolce & Gabbana.
DeleteI love costume parties. I would totally go for a wonder woman costume! because she is just so amazing!
ReplyDeleteOMG I think many of you like Wonder Woman!
DeleteThis is the first time I saw the new Wonder Woman. I now understand why the teen says she is hot.
ReplyDeleteI know right! The last time I saw her is during her stint at Fast and Furious movie, and PS she changed a lot!
DeleteI cant say I have seen anyone dress up in costumes for Christmas but it does sounds fun! Would def make for an interesting family tradition!
ReplyDeleteMany here in Asia likes to dress-up! And its a lot more fun :D
DeleteMy daughter would LOVE some of these costumes. She has the Harley Quinn top already. There's no way we'd let her walk around in those tiny shorts and fishnet stockings. She'd also like the Wonder Woman costume.
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't allowed her! There will be a right time to enjoy those fishnets.
DeleteI never thought of buying costumes as Christmas presents but I must admit it is a really cool idea and I think a lot of people would love it!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and its cool actually! It doesn't need occasions to wear them!
DeleteI would never think to dress up like that for Christmas. I always think 80s themed parties, ugly sweater parties, and just fun winter clothes.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of fantasy and awesomeness!
DeleteYou are so creative! I work from home so I can actually make these my daily outfits every week and show up on video conferences as these characters!! Love it :-D (I'll either get friendlier clients, or new ones ;-)>
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't make these outfits!
DeleteThese are some really interesting Christmas gift choices! Though I know a few people who would love to get the Harley Quinn costume.
ReplyDeletehahaha yeah, I think its sass!
DeleteI would never have thought of buying a different costume for Christmas but really it could be quite an interesting idea and fun too!
ReplyDeleteSometimes being different is fun!
DeleteI definitely think that Poison Ivy is the best choice for winter because it encompasses the Christmas colours of red and green. Plus she is badass as well!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Just add some glitters for a more Christmas-sy touch!
DeleteThe idea of gifting a costume never even crossed my mind! I have friends who I think would love receiving a superhero costume.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! At least you will save them for looking for another costume ideas. You will be their new hero.
DeleteLove it! I'm all about the Wonder Woman costume!!
ReplyDeleteHigh five on that Rachel!
DeleteNice! this is a fun and interesting take on celebrating Christmas in style. I'm sure you and your friends will have a blast!
ReplyDeletehahaha yeah, we are thinking of dressing up as a clone Poison Ivy!
DeleteI like to try the Wonder Women costume..hehehe, but just inside the house je lah..just for my eyes only..:D
ReplyDeleteThat will be fun with the kids :D
DeleteThis is a great gift idea. I have a few friends that are really into Cosplay. They would love a costume for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative Christmas present idea! I'm not much for super heroes, but I know so many people who would flip for any of these!
ReplyDeleteYeah, even kids will dig on these costumes :D
DeleteWhat fun ideas for gifts! I especially loved Wonder Woman and Cat Woman. They've been my favorite superheros for as long as I can remember. x
ReplyDeleteAll of them are so sassy and cool!
DeleteWow, Loved the Poison Ivy costume so much and the carrot earrings were awesome. And the wonder woman costume is one I shall get one for sure!
ReplyDeleteYay you love cosplaying?!
DeleteThis is such a great idea. I would love to have a custom made cat woman suite.
ReplyDeleteHello Tasheena,
DeleteYeah its fierce and sassy.
I love Harley Quinn, she's about as crazy as me haha! So this outfit would definitely suit me! Not sure I'd gift any of these to my friends or family, as don't think they're really the fancy dress kind lol. But I love these outfits nevertheless x
ReplyDeleteAdd this to your wishlist!
DeleteNever thought of dressing in costumes for Xmas before. Good idea! Costumes are fun all year.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Off that's the reason why I love parties :D
DeleteI've never thought about getting dressed up in a costume for halloween but it's a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteOh its a rare occasion so make it count!
DeleteOooo so many fun costume ideas!!!!! I would love that cat woman costume!!! So fun! And such a unique gift idea
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes unconventional gifts gives delight!
DeleteHaha! Such a fun idea, wouldn't have thought of costumes as gifts but perfect for any comic book fans
ReplyDeleteI agree. I bet the geeks will enjoy these.
DeleteYOu know Cosplay is very in! I actually would like to have a christmas themed costume party...maybe a spin on Cosplaying with your favorite character but adding holiday elements to it would be fun!
ReplyDeleteYeah that's a great idea!
DeleteGreat idea for someone that is hard to buy for or who has everything !! My daughter would love the Wonder Woman Costume.
ReplyDeleteMost kids will enjoy cosplay dresses :D
DeleteOh so I never even thought to give costumes as gifts! I would love the poisin ivy one for myself!
ReplyDeleteI think Poison Ivy was kinda over-looked recently.
DeleteTuh, if I find a good holiday costume party to attend this season I will definitely be borrowing one of these ideas. All of these costumes would come out stellar I'm sure. My favorite is probably cat woman however. Please check out my blog: http://www.jshantrice.com/fashionaire-she-blog/ and let me know what you think.
ReplyDeleteBeing a catwoman is fierce! Hope there could be a catman?!
DeleteI'd love the Catwoman one if it made me look that good lol
ReplyDeletehahaha me too!
DeleteAlways good to spice things up whenever, right? Interesting gift idea for sure! xo, Suzanne
ReplyDeleteI agree! And you'll be the star of the night!
DeleteThis is creative! I like the meanings behind it but I don't think a costume would be a good idea. I would much rather get the character paraphernalia where they could keep it in their room or on their work desk. Something they could see all year round to remind them of our friendship.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice as well!
DeleteI had never considered this .. BUT, now I am onto this. Maybe a wonder woman would be good for me
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Nicole!
DeleteFun idea! I want to be Wonder Woman!
ReplyDeleteYey high five on that Carissa!
DeleteI love this and actually do this already with the kids but hadn't considered it for adults. I like the idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Natasha! Adults can play dress-up this holidays as well, with the kids.
DeleteThis is such a cool idea for a gift! there are always fancy dress parties throughout the year so if someone sorted my costume for me I would be grateful
ReplyDeleteSo true! Then you won't have to worry for your costumes.
DeleteI think a costume party is one of the most fun events. I have made some great ones in the past.
ReplyDeletethat's awesome! Glad you enjoyed the parties.
DeleteAmazing photos but guess I'll stick to something I can throw together from stuff I already own. 2 years ago I bought a mask for a masquerade gala ... and now it simply sits on the closet shelf.
ReplyDeleteYeah you can reuse it!
DeleteThis is a very unique post. I'd choose catwoman I think - you've given me some ideas for my next fancy dress! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDelete(This is Chinedu btw)
Thanks Chinedu! Hope you enjoy your catwoman costume :D
DeleteI have never thought of this! This is so creative. I love it so much.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting!
DeleteI have friends who really love to cosplay. They would love these gifts.
ReplyDeleteYeah these are perfect for them!
DeleteHAha... I never thought of that!!! must be fun one.. people will though Halloween yet finish but actually is CHRISTMAS!!
ReplyDeleteracheal_foodilifecious
Hahaha yeah, you can add mistletoes to make it Christmasy!
DeleteSuperhero-inspired gifts are so on point due to the release of Justice League. However, costumes are not really suitable as we would need to know the measurements of the recipient.
ReplyDeletehahaha yeah, you have a point :D
DeleteNever thought of gifting this as a gift but I would want that Catwoman costume as a holiday gift. It looks neat and adorable!
ReplyDeleteI agree. and you don't need to wear face makeup :D
DeleteThat is such a great idea for a gift. I know someone who would love the Wonder Woman one.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! Send that someone with this costume :)
DeleteIt's so interesting. I would love Catwoman outfit the most. Though wonder woman is adorable too.
ReplyDeleteYou can grab them both!
DeleteI never really considered costumes as gifts but how fun! I know that my kids would love something like this.
ReplyDeleteOh they will enjoy it, because kids loves to dress-up.
DeleteI didn't know ppl dress in costumes for Christmas. This is new. Had no clue.
ReplyDeleteNow you do! :D
DeleteThis idea is awesome! I love the costume of catwoman, so fantastic! This post makes me consider to 'disguise' this Xmas.
ReplyDeleteLOL yeah you must! You can be a Catwoman-cum Mrs Santa Claus.
DeleteI wasn't sure where you were going with this but after looking at the ideas, I think it's pretty awesome. Thanks for the gift idea.
ReplyDeleteYou're always welcome here!
DeleteI've always wanted to be Poison Ivy! Great ideas here x
ReplyDeleteI think she is under-rated. She must have her own movie!
DeleteI love seeing costumes ideas and get inspiration for any theme party or halloween! Never thought of poison ivy! It would be really pretty!
ReplyDeleteHahaha thank you dear!
DeleteOut of so many, my personal favourite would be the Catwoman, so sexy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivy! The Catwoman costume suits you babe :D
