ABOUT KING GEORGE III:
In Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, King George III provides comic relief with his witty, over-the-top solos. Dressed in regal finery, he represents the British monarchy in all its pomp and extravagance while hilariously lamenting America’s independence. His costume is flamboyant, richly detailed, and instantly recognizable, making it a perfect cosplay or stage outfit for anyone who wants to command attention (and maybe sing “You’ll Be Back” while at it).
1. Royal Cape – A red cape trimmed with white faux fur and gold accents makes the costume feel regal.
2. Red Regal Coat – A richly decorated long coat with ornate buttons captures the essence of 18th-century aristocracy.
3. Colonial Breeches – Deep red or burgundy knee-length pants match the king’s opulent style.
4. Ruffled White Shirt – A frilly undershirt adds elegance and completes the noble silhouette.
5. Crown & Scepter – A must-have for royalty; these props ensure no one forgets who’s in charge.
6. Buckle Shoes – Classic colonial-style shoes with gold buckles give an authentic finishing touch.
7. White Stockings – Knee-high stockings are essential for period accuracy.
8. White Wig – A powdered curly wig brings the full 18th-century royal look to life.
This extravagant outfit is perfect for anyone who wants to stand out with humor and style. For extra flair, add a jeweled ring, a faux royal decree scroll, or even break into song for a true Broadway touch.
King George’s look pairs wonderfully with a Hamilton group cosplay: stand opposite Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, and the revolutionary cast for the ultimate historical showdown.
