Cindy Lou Who Costume Guide

How to dress like Cindy Lou Who from The Grinch.

ABOUT CINDY LOU WHO:

Cindy-Lou is an energetic and kind young girl who, like most of the residents of Whoville, believes wholeheartedly in the spirit of Christmas.

She shows her true empathetic nature as one of the only people who can see beyond The Grinch’s physical appearance and recognize him as a person deserving of love and affection.

Cindy plays a central role in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (as well as the many other adaptations of Dr Seuss’s beloved book) as she helps The Grinch rediscover his festive cheer and heal the wounds that came from his difficult childhood.

How To Dress Like Cindy Lou

1. COAT – Start your adult Cindy Lou Who costume with a suitably festive red coat with furry white trim. 

2. DRESS – Cindy wears a cute plaid dress under her winter coat. This look is just perfect for this outfit and the quality is top-notch too if you are also looking for a 1950s dress to fit into your regular rotation.

3. LEGGINGS – Grab yourself a pair of regular red stockings or leggings.

4. MITTENS – Is there anything more adorable and cozy than a pair of mittens? Look for a pair that is pink and either furry or knitted.

5. SLIPPERS – What footwear you pair with your DIY Cindy Lou Who costume is really up to you. For peak coziness, we went for a cute pair of house slippers.

6. SOCKS – Add a regular pair of white tube or crew socks. Just make sure they are long enough to bunch up around the ankles.

7. HAIR BOW – One of the most recognizable aspects of the residents of Whoville is their creative hairstyles. Cindy Lou’s hair is perhaps the most famous with her two pigtails, impressive blow-up, and oversized red bow tying it all together.

8. WIG –Finally, if you don’t want to do your hair yourself, it’s time to put your wig on. Just make sure you purchase one sized for adults and not children.
