Prince Charming Costume Guide

ABOUT PRINCE CHARMING:

Prince Charming is the arrogant and selfish son of the Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2. He is portrayed as a manipulative mama’s boy who tries to win over Princess Fiona to take the throne of Far Far Away. Charming lacks any real threat or agency, serving as a pawn in his mother’s scheme to break up Fiona and Shrek’s marriage. He attempts to seduce Fiona with his looks and charm, but fails due to her finding him repulsive

How To Dress Like Prince Charming

1. WAISTCOAT – Start your Prince Charming costume with a medieval-style leather-look vest.

2. SHIRT – Next, add an oversized Renaissance shirt that is large enough to fall below your waist.

3. LEGGINGS – In true medieval fashion, we have a pair of fetching men’s leggings in a dark brown.

4. SHOES – Like any gentrified prince, your footwear is a status symbol, that’s why nothing less than the best equestrian, over-the-knee boots will do.

5. TRIM – Optionally, you can add some gold trim to your waistcoat and shirt, just to show how much better than everyone else you are.

6. WIG – Finish with a pretty-boy blonde wig in a medium and layered length.
