ABOUT YZMA:
Yzma is the main antagonist in Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove, voiced by Eartha Kitt. As the royal advisor to Emperor Kuzco, she is portrayed as cunning, ambitious, and eccentric, with a flair for dramatic fashion, often dressed in purple and black. Yzma is obsessed with power and seeks to overthrow Kuzco to take the throne for herself. Her plans frequently involve elaborate schemes and potions, though they often backfire comically.
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 complimented 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.
