SHREK COSTUME GUIDES

1

Dragon Costume

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!

2

Donkey Costume

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.

3

Female Shrek Costume

It might be over 20 years since Shrek first hit the big screen but few millennials will forget the cultural impact that this green ogre has had over the years.

Like an onion, this outfit is all about peeling back Shrek’s layers and seeing this classic character like you’ve never seen him before!

It’s fun, it’s gender-bending, and it’s weirdly sexy! This is how to dress like Shrek for women…

4

Thelonious Costume

Thelonious is a minor antagonist in Shrek, serving as Lord Farquaad’s torturer and executioner. He is depicted as loyal and somewhat bumbling, often involved in comedic misadventures while attempting to capture Princess Fiona.

Would you believe that Thelonious is one of our most popular costume ideas of all time? There seems to be a heck of a lot of love out there for this relatively minor character! Discover how to make his outfit and signature executioner hood in our step-by-step guide.

5

Prince Charming Costume

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.

Sometimes you just want to dress to impress and look your very best. Be that for Halloween or a summer dress-up party, this suave and handsome look certainly fits the bill!

6

Gingy Costume

‘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?!

7

Handsome Human Shrek Costume

Handsome Human Shrek appears in Shrek 2 after drinking a potion and transforming into a strikingly attractive human while retaining some ogre features. This version of Shrek highlights his comedic charm and subverts traditional fairy-tale hero tropes.

Discover how to make his basic outfit, as well as customize your very own ornate and medieval-themed vest in our complete costume rundown!

8

Lord Farquaad Costume

Lord Farquaad is the little ruler with the ultimate Napoleon complex. While his dreams of a racially pure Far Far Away Land might have to go unrealized, we do have to thank him for bringing together Shrek and Fiona, as well as Donkey and Dragon!

Seriously, never in our wildest dreams did we expect this costume to be as popular as it turned out to be. But you asked and we delivered: The Sexy Lord Farquaad look!

While this is undoubtedly a powerful look all on its own, it also complements our Thelonious Executioner outfit for one of our favorite couple’s ideas!

9

Fairy Godmother Costume

The Fairy Godmother is the main antagonist in Shrek 2, voiced by Jennifer Saunders. She is Prince Charming’s mother and uses her magic and cunning to manipulate others. Believing ogres cannot achieve true happiness, she uses her powers to plot against Shrek and Fiona.

Dress like the Fairy Godmother with a cute blue dress, mini fairy wings, and a beehive wig, among a few other simple accessories!

10

Three Blind Mice Costume

In a world full of colorful and whimsical mythical creatures, the Three Blind Mice stand out as some of the most endearing and memorable side characters of the entire Shrek series.

Not only is this an instantly recognizable look, it is also just perfect for any group of best friends in need of a matching outfit idea!

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.

Not many movies have the same cultural impact as Shrek did when it first hit cinemas way back in 2001. An instant worldwide hit, Shrek has spawned multiple sequels and spinoffs, as well as a seemingly infinite number of memes that dominated the early days of social media and forums.

Still a popular outfit choice for themed parties and Halloween, we have brought together our favorite Shrek costume ideas for women in one place.
