ABOUT PRINCESS ARURORA:

Princess Aurora appears in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and is based on the Briar Rose character from the original Brothers Grimm fairytale, “Little Briar Rose.”

As revenge for not being invited to the birth of Princess Aurora, the evil fairy Maleficent curses the newborn to die on her 16th birthday after pricking her finger on a spinning wheel.

However, the good fairy Merryweather successfully alters the curse to ensure Aurora will simply fall into a deep sleep rather than die. There she will remain until true love’s – Prince Philip’s – kiss wakes her from her slumber.

How To Dress Like Sleeping Beauty

1.  CORSET – We started with a floral corset with off-shoulder straps. If that’s not your style, then there are dozens more pink corsets to choose from.

2. SKIRT – Next, we went for a pink patterned tutu with a bow accent to match our knee-high socks.

3. FOOTWEAR – Add a pair of your favorite pink heels. White stilettos will also work great for this DIY costume, if you prefer.

4. SOCKS – Because cute is also sexy, we added an adorable pair of knee-length pink socks with bow accents.

5. NECKLACE – Sleeping Beauty wears a distinctive gold choker just like the one featured here.

6. CROWN – Every princess needs a crown. What type you go for is entirely up to you. For us, we loved this sparkly costume tiara.

7. GLOVES – Finish your sexy Aurora costume with a pair of fingerless satin opera gloves.

8. WIG – This is the perfect outfit idea for any natural blonde. If that’s not you and you don’t want to dye your hair, then we recommend getting yourself a long and wavy blonde wig.

Princess Aurora Costume: FAQ

Is Aurora’s dress pink or blue?

Both colors appear in Sleeping Beauty as the fairies change her gown. This guide follows the pink version with a corset and tutu. A blue outfit can be just as recognizable when you keep Aurora’s blonde hair, pointed crown and gold necklace.

Which accessories make a Sleeping Beauty costume recognizable?

A gold crown and short gold necklace are the most useful finishing details. Long blonde hair and an off-the-shoulder neckline also help suggest Aurora. The gloves and bow-trimmed socks in our guide add a playful party twist rather than being essential pieces.

Who can dress up with Aurora besides Prince Phillip?

Maleficent makes a striking partner for a Sleeping Beauty duo. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather work well for three friends joining you. For a mixed princess group, add Elsa, Ariel or Rapunzel.

How do you make an Aurora costume without a ball gown?

Combine a pink corset or fitted top with a pink tutu or flared skirt. Add a tiara and gold necklace to give the separate pieces a royal finish. A simple pink party dress is another easy base if you already have one.

What hairstyle suits a Princess Aurora costume?

Wear long blonde hair loose with soft waves and volume around the front. A gently swept fringe gives a closer Sleeping Beauty feel. Position the tiara securely on top, using hairpins if needed, so it stays in place when you move.

Can you swap Aurora’s heels for flat shoes?

Yes. Pink, white or gold ballet flats all suit the outfit and are easier to wear for a long evening. You can keep the pink socks from this guide or choose plain tights. Matching every accessory precisely is less important than keeping the soft pink-and-gold palette.
