Ymza Cosplay: At a Glance
ABOUT YZMA:
1. DRESS – The focal point of this Yzma costume is undoubtedly her striking full-length black dress. For our outfit, we went for this dress and headpiece combo.
2. SHAWL – No female Disney villain is complete without an oversized and evil-looking collar. Yzma’s feather shrug is undoubtedly one of the most iconic.
3. FOOTWEAR – Grab yourself a pair of strappy purple heels with a square toe.
4. NAILS – We love any excuse to wear a set of false stiletto nails. For our Yzma costume, we went for a more conservative length in a deep wine-red color.
5. EARRINGS – There’s no doubt about it, Yzma is a true fashion icon. Her over-the-top outfits are complemented by a few enviable dangle earrings throughout The Emperor’s New Groove. Our personal favorite is her set of oversized blue bauble earrings.
6. BODYPAINT – Like us, you might want to mix a purple bodypaint with a little white to recreate Yzma’s almost lilac skin tone.

Yzma’s most important accessories are her purple feather collar, tall headdress and oversized blue earrings. Long purple gloves, pointed false nails and an imitation potion bottle can add further detail.
Wear a long white lab coat with purple gloves, protective goggles and Yzma’s dramatic makeup. Carry a lightweight potion bottle labeled “Llama” to reference the transformation potion that Kronk accidentally gives Kuzco.
