The Best Queen of Hearts Costume Ideas for 2023

The Queen of Hearts is a popular female villain from the classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland story books by author Lewis Carroll. These enchanting stories are better known as Alice in Wonderland which have been adapted to several different animated shows, television movies, and theatrical films for several decades around the world.

Several different styles and designs have been created for women of all shapes and sizes. They range from the slim sexy version for teens and young women to the stylish plus size sophisticated versions for full figure adult women.

Recently, film director Tim Burton re-imagined the Queen of Hearts into the vicious Red Queen in the latest live-action movie motion picture Alice in Wonderland, as played by actress Helena Bonham-Carter, the character still manages to win acquire some of our sympathy, particularly by the end of the film when she is defeated by Alice. As conceived by director Tim Burton, the character has an over sized head and a bad attitude. Her ruthless character has taken over Wonderland where she is now terrorizing its residents, throwing some into dungeons and executing those she believes are a threat against her, shouting her famous line, “off with her head!” She also captures The Mad Hatter and frightens him so that he will reveal to her the location of Alice, leading to an exciting climax and resolution to the movie. Thanks to the box office success of this wonderful movie, the Queen of Hearts have become even more popular this Halloween season. Here is a new sale list of great woman Halloween costumes the movie and the classic storybook have inspired.

While Bonham-Carter’s head was digitally enhanced to make it look three times larger than its normal size, Colleen Atwood, the costume designer for Alice in Wonder, helped further the illusion by giving the character an Elizabethan gown with a tightly-clinched waist and fancy high collar. A prosthetic forehead was also added to raise the actress’s hairline, and the entire look was topped off with a heart-shaped red wig. But while acknowledging that the right costume can help an actor immensely in finding their character, Atwood ultimately gave full credit to Bonham-Carter for her portrayal, which successfully brought the Red Queen to life.

While you might think that Halloween costumes based on villainous characters would not be that popular, the Red Queen may be the exemption to the rule. The Red Queen costume consists of a red and gold dress with hearts embroidered down the front of the skirt, a petticoat, a high collar, and a crown.
