Nani Pelekai Costume Guide

Nani Pelekai costume guide

ABOUT NANI PELEKAI:

Nani Pelekai is Lilo’s responsible older sister who suddenly finds herself balancing teenage life with raising her quirky little sibling. She’s hardworking, protective, and endlessly patient (well, almost), doing her best to keep their small family together after the loss of their parents. While she may not have superpowers or alien origins, Nani’s strength lies in her love and determination. A Nani costume is simple, comfortable, and a perfect match for a Lilo & Stitch duo or group cosplay.

How To Dress Like Nani Pelekai

1. LIGHT BLUE CROP TOP – Nani’s everyday look is casual and sporty, starting with a simple sky-blue spaghetti strap crop top.

2. KHAKI CAPRI PANTS – Pair it with tan cropped pants for her signature laid-back island style.

3. PINK FLOWER CLIP – A tropical flower tucked in her hair adds just the right Hawaiian flair.

4. LONG BLACK WIG – If you don’t already have long, straight hair, a black wig completes her natural look.

5. NAVY SLIDES OR SANDALS – Comfortable footwear like navy-blue slides ties the whole outfit together and keeps it beach-ready.

The result is a costume that’s as easygoing and relatable as Nani herself—perfect for family or sibling group cosplay.
