Forget Disney princesses; playing the villain is so much more fun. If you’re looking for a showstopping, slightly wicked Halloween costume that taps into the trends of the year, look no further than Ursula the sea witch. It’s the perfect year for a costume from under the sea, considering all the hype around this year’s live-action “The Little Mermaid”, and you can join the fun by channeling Melissa McCarthy’s portrayal of the iconic villain.
Though she’s a Disney character first and foremost, you can make an Ursula costume what you want — err on the sexier side for an adults-only party, amp up the evil if you’re feeling spooky, or keep it G-rated if your Halloween plans include kids. Whichever direction you take it, prepare to channel your creativity: there are plenty of ingenious ways to DIY an Ursula costume for Halloween, and this character also presents you with the perfect opportunity to play around with fun Halloween makeup.
Not sure where to start? Cue up “The Little Mermaid”, and then scroll through this list to get inspired by people’s real-life Ursula costumes. Then grab your makeup palette, and get ready to swim your way past those poor unfortunate souls on your way to become the winner of “best costume” this Halloween.
