Once you’ve blocked them out, paint yourself white including your lips, ears and neck but not pure white like Jack Nicholson’s Joker – let a little bit of your skin to shine through. Sounds weird and feels a bit weird to do but there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube, like this one here.
Image sourceįor this makeup look you’ll need to glue down your eyebrows due to her very high, very thin ones. We have you sorted with the costume, having one in our store but the makeup you can do yourself. As much as her makeup was beautifully done and can easily be recreated, you’ll have to settle for having a normal sized head instead of the weirdly large one she has in the film. The bossy character actually brings a strange kind of light to the film, despite being so terrifyingly unpredictable.īonham Carter’s Queen of Hearts costume was incredibly intricate, as was her makeup. This re-imagining of the character actually combines the Queen of Hearts and the Duchess from Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, with the Red Queen from its prequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass. We hope she has grown out of this now that she is around 8 years old! Bonham Carter described the character as a “tyrannical toddler” and even said that their daughter had no empathy or sympathy for other living creatures, she was a dictator who just spouted constant demands. Helena Bonham Carter’s interpretation of the Queen really amped up the idea that she was a very childish woman, taking tantrums and she even based the behaviour of the Queen on her then 2-year old daughter, Nell. Alongside a small golden crown and slightly messy black hair, you’re ready to go. The red, yellow, black and white dress is very simple and seems to be based on the silhouette of the 1730s/1860s again or – as modern terms define it – the ball-gown. Disney’s Queen costume is the most identifiable, and the simplest of the few times she has been portrayed on screen. She is childish, selfish, treats her husband the King of Hearts like a doormat, and visibly enjoys her effervescent anger. The Queen of Hearts in the Disney classic is very similar to the book version, and truly is an adaptation of Carroll’s character. Possibly the most famous interpretation of the character. So long as you have a bustle of sorts, a crown, and you’re wearing shades of red, you should be easily identifiable. The costume can be a bit difficult due to the traditional intricacy of the dress she wears but it doesn’t necessarily have to be. Her costume is often very elaborate and reminiscent of the dresses of the 1860s and 1870s, and she is also often drawn with a bright red face, in order to portray her quick and fiery temper.
He drew the card people in a similar way as the cards were traditionally drawn however, due to her grumpy nature, she is often very big-headed as opposed to Alice’s petite little frame. Sir John Tenniel’s illustration of her is very interesting.
Some say she was inspired by Queen Victoria or Queen Margaret of House Lancaster. She was just to be shown as one of the many mad inhabitants of Wonderland, and to be an obstacle for Alice’s journey through Wonderland, a potentially threatening obstacle nonetheless. While in modern adaptations she exists as a villainous character but in Carroll’s original, she was not intended to be portrayed as such. She uses live flamingos for mallets and live hedgehogs as croquet balls of which she is famous for championing. She is a tyrant and incredibly quick to anger, shouting her famous line “Off with their heads!” whenever someone slightly irritates her. Don’t tell her we said that… BooksĬarroll describes the Queen as a “blind fury”, and we see this in every adaptation of the character. However it’s a great Halloween costume (partly so you can just yell at people all night), and we at MorphCostumes will advise you on the best ways to do it from the different types of media she has popped her (very large) head into. You’d be scared to even say hello to her or even compliment her in fear of being beheaded. The brutal Queen of Hearts is known worldwide to be one of the most terrifying rulers in literary history, made famous in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
