When it comes to Egyptian queen costume, the outfit type that is most popular among women is Nefertiti costume. Nefertiti was a legendary Egyptian queen (1390-1360 BC) known primarily for her beauty and sensuousness. The most striking feature she had was her slender, long neck. She used to wear exquisitely jeweled headdresses and collars, which made her long neck even more prominent. This article will offer you some interesting Nefertiti costume ideas that will make you look exactly like the gorgeous Egyptian queen during the upcoming fancy dress party.
As mentioned two of the most important elements of Nefertiti’s attire were her headdress and jewels. The headdress should be a tall and cone shaped crown with a flat top; it should cover your hair completely to make you look exactly like the queen. The headdress should be aptly decorated to make it look like a belonging of someone from the royal family of the ancient times. It should have a golden finish and should also carry a lot of costume gems.
Let us now educate you about the jewels without which a Nefertiti costume will remain incomplete. Almost every royal image of this beautiful Egyptian queen, she wore a chunky, rounded collar-like necklace that also covered her shoulders and a large part of her chest. This is one element without which you cannot look like Nefertiti. It is obvious that the collar that the queen used to wear was made from gold; when dressing up like her you can instead wear a similar color painted in gold. Some other jewelries that you will need to wear to be a perfect image of the queen include, a pair of huge hoop earrings, several hoop bracelets or a thick bangle and a jeweled thick belt around your waist.
The third most important element of Nefertiti costume is the robe. You will have to wear a long and flowing robe. The robe should have a high, curved collar (it should be big enough to cover up your chest) and short sleeves. The preferred color for the queen’s robe is white; however, you can also wear robes of other lighter shades.
