About this costume
Beautiful, winged, and absolutely not on your side - the dark fairy costume is the Halloween costume idea for anyone who wants fantasy glamour with a sharp edge. Tattered iridescent wings and a thorn crown make this one of the prettiest scary Halloween costumes for teens and adults this season.
DIY this look
This dark fairy costume idea takes a regular fairy look and roughs it up just enough to read as Halloween, not a school play.
- Layer torn tulle skirts in 2-3 shades for dimension.
- Strap on the tattered wings before the crown so the straps stay hidden.
- Apply the iridescent face gems along the cheekbones and temples.
- Finish with the thorn crown, slightly off-center for a wilder look.
