The Best Tinkerbell Halloween Costume

Add some pixie dust to your Halloween with a Tinkerbell costume! This beloved character from Peter Pan is a mischievous yet loveable pixie. Originally a fairy in the play and novel, the animated version of Tinkerbell was dubbed a pixie by Disney and the debate has raged on ever since.

The best Tinkerbell Halloween costumes feature the classic look of the green dress that appears tattered, yet elegant. Whether you choose to have a rough-and-tumble look to your Tinkerbell costume or you prefer a more polished look depends largely on if you subscribe to the idea that Tinkerbell is a Disney princess (which she was briefly) or if you see her as a playful resident of Neverland who hangs out with the Lost Boys.

There's no one version of Tinkerbell that's consider "correct" by everyone, so feel free to interpret this character as you see her.

Assembling Your Adult Tinkerbell Costume

Tinkerbell is about more than just the cute, green dress. You'll want a few other costume elements to complete your Tinkerbell look:

1. A yellow wig is a must-have for a Tinkerbell costume, even if you have naturally blonde hair. Tinkerbell's hair is an unnatural yellow color and a vey specific shape that's difficult to create with real hair.


2. Ballet shoes with little puffs atop the toes can help complete any Tinkerbell Halloween costume. Be sure to choose some ballet flats that are comfortable and in the right shade of light green to match the costume.


3. Pixie dust is easy to create with some shiny, colorful glitter. You can find plenty of glitter options on this website. Traditionally, the pixie dust that enables pixies to fly is gold in color, so choose some gold glitter to add to the magic of your costume.


4. A crown of tiara is a fun accessory for those who still consider Tinkerbell a Disney princess and feel that a tiara completes the look of their costume. The classic version of Tinkerbell, however, would not wear a crown, making this a completely optional accessory.

Tinkerbell is a fun character to play on Halloween! She's a character kids recognize ¿ and one that won't frighten young children. To get into character, walk around sprinkling pixie dust on fellow Halloween party guests, or sprinkle fairy dust on co-workers (just realize that glitter will stick around for a long time!
