Dragon from Shrek is a nuanced and beloved character. Like many of the mythical creatures of Far Far Away Land, Dragon is misunderstood and treated poorly based on her appearance.
Under that fire-breathing, scaly exterior, is a kindhearted and compassionate woman who just wants to love and be loved. We feel you, Dragon!
This look is super easy to make at home and versatile enough to work at whatever occasion you might have planned!

We couldn’t possibly make a Dragon guide without adding her one soulmate, Donkey. Like Dragon, Donkey is a misunderstood mythical creature who has been maligned and treated like a criminal just for being himself.
The two find a natural connection between them, making this one of our most adorable outfit ideas for best friends or couples!
Like Dragon, this is also a super simple outfit to make for yourself and perfect for a last-minute event.

Prince Charming is a secondary antagonist in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third. He embodies the archetypal fairy-tale prince, characterized by his good looks, charm, and ambition, but often reveals insecurities and comedic flaws in his quest for love.

‘Gingy’ The Gingerbread Man might be small in stature but he plays second-fiddle to no mythical creature when it comes to the size of his cajones. Lord Farquaad might have broken Gingy’s legs but nothing could break his spirit.
This look is truly adorable. A combination of a beautiful brown dress and candy cane socks, complete with a matching candy walking cane and makeup.
Now, aren’t you looking like a tasty snack?!

With very little effort, it is possible to make a super fun and lowkey look that is just perfect for a last-minute themed party.
