DIY COSTUME ITEMS
Costume Guide
Gracie wears a lot of costumes throughout the movie but the most famous one is the one she wears at the 75th annual Miss United States award which is also the cover picture of the film. Her costume includes a pageant tiara, a sexy pink dress, a white sash, a leg gun holster, a pair of combat shoes, a prop gun, and metal handcuffs.
Tiara
As a Miss Congeniality Gracie wears a Tiara on her head. This tiara looks similar to what Gracie wears in the movie in terms of the design. If you already have such a tiara in your closet then you can use that.
Dress
Gracie wears a pink dress in the movie which in my opinion looks great and attractive. We found this dress similar to what we see in the film. The dress has an extended side cut which exposes the left leg making it more attractive.
Sash
As Miss Congeniality she wears a sash. This sash is plain white and blank. You can stick letters or can write with a marker on them. You can write F.B.I, FEDERAL AGENT, or MISS CONGENIALITY on it.
Gun Holster
Being an FBI agent she has to keep a handgun with her always, therefore, she needs a gun holster which Gracie wears on her left leg. You can wear this holster inside the dress to hide the holster belt.
Combat Shoes
Gracie wears combat shoes because an FBI agent has to go through many tough situations and heel sandals will not help her at all. These combat shoes are similar to what we see in the movie.
Prop Handgun
An empty holster will not look good on the leg unless you put this prop gun in it.
Handcuffs
FBI agents always keep handcuffs with them to lock up the criminals. Get these prop handcuffs to complete the Miss Congeniality costume.
