Nagini Costume Guide

Dress like Nagini with a snake-skin top and skirt, green heels, leggings, and fangs.

ABOUT NAGINI:

Nagini is a Maledictus, though once a beautiful woman, she carries a blood curse that eventually transforms her into a snake.

She plays a critical role in Harry Potter as Lord Voldermort’s familiar and one of his seven Horcruxes. Chronologically, Nagini is depicted by Claudia Kim in the prequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, set decades before her encounter with Voldemort. At this stage in her life, Nagini is still able to control her powers, shifting between snake and human form freely.

How To Dress Like Nagini

1.  SHIRT – This sheer cropped snake-print shirt is simply perfect for our scaly look.

2. SKIRT – Next, a sexy snakeskin skirt continues the theme of a woman/snake hybrid. As an added bonus, who doesn’t look amazing in a snakeskin skirt?

3. HEELS – Either black or green heels will work perfectly for this outfit. A pair of boots is also a great option. Just choose whatever you feel works best!

4. FISHNETS – We absolutely fell in love with these snake-themed fishnet stockings when we saw them. The reviews for these speak for themselves so go ahead and get yourself a pair, you won’t be disappointed!

5. FANGS – Like a deadly viper, you are going to need a fearsome set of fangs. Fake vampire teeth work particularly well for Nagini.

6. EYESHADOW – For our Nagini snake makeup we used a green palette to create a smoky eye look. An eye palette can also be used for applying your fake scales.

7. NECKLACE – Optional extra but we felt a fake tooth necklace was a great little detail for our Nagini costume.

8. RINGS – Again, while not essential, these stunning snake rings helped emphasize the slithery aesthetic we were going for.

9. STENCIL – Finally, if like us, the thought of detailing your own scales sends shivers of anxiety down your back, we highly recommend a snakeskin stencil.
