Q&A for How to Make a Quick Greek Goddess Costume

You can wear a shawl above your head, and maybe instead of white or neutral colors, try wearing a red, orange, brown or mahogany colors for an hearth look. She can also control fire, and if you want, carry some foods or ancient cooking ware. Dress modestly, and no makeup or very very little makeup.

Hera is the goddess of marriage, so maybe wear a fancy white Greek-style dress. Have on a large wedding ring to show that you're married to Zeus.

Same as above with little or no jewelry and minimal makeup: maybe just some lip gloss and a light pink and gold eye shadow. Curl your hair. Carry a old satchel, painted gold, and put a book of battle strategy in there with a dagger.

You can wear any type of dress with a brown or dark-colored hairband. The most important part is to accessorize with a bow and quiver full of arrows.

Stick to a simple toga, a pretty tiara or flower crown, and gladiator sandals. It might be a good idea to include a small box as part of your costume. If you want to go the extra mile, include several slips of paper with negative things written on them inside that box, such as "sadness" and "illness." Be sure to include a large slip of paper that says "HOPE" on it!

Most Greek goddesses have long, flowing hair or curled hair up in a loose bun, but it's really up to you!

Where white, loose clothes and hold a scroll of poetry.

You can dress still in the toga, and bring a trident and/or wear sea-related accessories.

No way! Just hide your hair under a hat or helmet, don't wear makeup or jewelry, and carry a hunting bow and/or a lyre.

Yes.

Yeah. Just make sure you hide the safety pin so it won't look weird. And be careful not to be pricked by the safety pin.

A toga-like dress and a Greek-looking crown of gold leaves or flowers and gladiator sandals would work.

Wear a green toga instead of white and/or add in some plant-related things. And of course you need her rock to symbolize when she made her rock garden.

Yes, as long you only use paper clips, it will be fine to reuse.

Of course. Choosing between real or fake leaves is more of a preferential choice. Using real leaves is the better choice because it saves time and money and it gives your costume a nice touch to it.

Make sure to include a bow and arrow. Artemis is also usually depicted wearing a shorter toga for hunting and has her hair tied up. A crown with an upturned crescent moon is also a good symbol for her.

Look in Halloween costume shops and online.

Wear a white or light-blue toga or dress, but make sure it flows. Selene is the Titan goddess of the moon, and wears a crown with an upside-down crescent moon on it. She also carries a staff with an upside-down crescent moon.

Use the toga, then wrap leafy vines around yourself. Put on earthy eyeshadow and light pink lipstick. Make sure to wear a flower crown. To be additionally "into character," occasionally repeat what someone says.

Iris is the goddess of rainbows, so you can wear a colorful toga and make yourself a headdress with some fake irises to drive the point home.

Even dollar stores have basic sandals that will work. You can even spray paint them so that they match the outfit. If you want to go extra fancy, buy sandals at any department store.

Traditionally, Greek gods and goddesses wore shoes, but a normal pair of sandals is fine. You could also add ribbons to them.

Wear a white toga with a belt. Make winged sandals and a helmet with fake wings on the sides.

You could use a bow and arrow if you are pretending to be Artemis; a book or spear if you are pretending to be Athena; or a tube of lipstick if you're pretending to be Aphrodite. It just depends on what goddess you are portraying. You should find out what symbols are associated with the Goddess you're pretending to be and find an accessory that would go with it.

I think he has wings, so maybe construct paper-mache wings, wear a little makeup, and a toga.

Do an internet image search for ideas and then come up with your own interpretation.

Anything to do with sorcery, ghosts, crossroads or the moon will work. She also normally carries two torches and is associated with dogs.

Olive branches would be perfect for Athena and normal branches could be for either Demeter or even Persephone.

Get a purple toga and attach fake vines to it. You could also carry a goblet or glass or a bunch of grapes, fake or real.

Wear a gold toga and a golden laurel wreath. Be as bright as possible; remember that he’s the Titan of the Sun.
