A Velvet Costume is the perfect way to steal the spotlight at your next con or party. She’s glitzy, she’s glamorous, and she’s totally iconic.Putting together a Velvet Trolls cosplay is all about embracing that 90s-inspired metallic flair and massive hair. Whether you’re planning a duo cosplay with a Veneer or just want to rule the stage solo, this guide has everything you need to look the part.In this Velvet outfit guide, I’ll walk you through every piece of her sparkling ensemble, from that gravity-defying green hair to her shimmering gold skirt. Let’s get ready to be famous!
Complete Costume Breakdown
Creating the perfect Velvet look is all about mixing high-shine metallics with that distinct Troll aesthetic. She is essentially a living doll with a very specific color palette. Don’t worry if you don’t find the exact custom pieces; these items will get you incredibly close to her on-screen style.
The Iconic Green Hair & Makeup
First things first: you cannot be Velvet without the hair. She sports a massive, structural green ponytail that screams pop star. Grab a Long Neon Green Wig to start. You might want to style it high and use plenty of hairspray to get that stiff, doll-like appearance. Since Trolls have that unique texture, don’t be afraid to tease it a bit!
For the skin, Velvet isn’t human-toned. She has a pale, almost porcelain look. Use some White Face and Body Paint to lighten your complexion. It doesn’t need to be clown-white, but a pale, doll-like base is key. For her eyes, you need to go bold. A Green Matte Eyeshadow Palette Makeup will help you replicate her dramatic eye makeup. Don’t forget the brows! Use Green Eyebrow Pomade to match them to your wig for that cohesive Troll look. Finish off the face with a pop of Pink Lipstick—she loves a glossy, confident pout.
The Shimmering Outfit
Velvet is all about the glitz. Her top is sleek and shiny. A Metallic Sleeveless Top is the perfect base. Look for something that fits snug, giving you that polished celebrity silhouette. It should catch the light every time you move, just like a true superstar.
For the bottom, she wears a fitted skirt that matches her top’s energy. A Metallic Gold Pencil Skirt works wonders here. The contrast between the metallic tones is subtle but effective, screaming luxury and fame. Make sure it’s comfortable enough to walk (or strut) in!
Diva Accessories
Accessories are where you really sell the character. Velvet loves her jewelry. Start with the ears—she actually wears quite a bit of bling. Mix and match Gold Studs Button Earrings with Purple Dangle Drop Earrings if you want to capture her eclectic but expensive vibe. The purple adds a nice pop of color against the gold and green.
On her wrist, she rocks a chunky piece. A Purple Acrylic Chunky Cuff Bracelet is spot on. It adds visual weight and balances the look. And of course, she is royalty in her own mind, so a Gothic Crown is a fun addition to sit atop your green hair, showing everyone who is really in charge.
Finally, what is a pop star without her mic? Carry a Microphone prop with you. It’s the ultimate prop for posing for photos and “singing” your favorite hits from the movie.
The Finishing Touch
To complete the ensemble, you need footwear that dazzles. Purple Glitter Ankle Boots are the way to go. They tie in with the purple accessories and add that final bit of sparkle to your legs. They are fun, flashy, and totally Velvet.
Cosplay Tips for a Better Look
1. Structure that Wig: Velvet’s hair is very stiff and upright. Use a foam core or wire structure inside the ponytail if you want it to stand straight up like in the movie.
2. Contour Like Crazy: Trolls have very round, cute faces, but Velvet is angular and sharp. Use contouring to sharpen your cheekbones and jawline.
3. Posture is Key: Velvet stands tall. Shoulders back, chin up. You are better than everyone else, and your posture should show it.
4. Nail the Walk: Practice a runway strut. She doesn’t walk; she glides with attitude.
5. Accessorize the Mic: If you have a plain microphone, add some rhinestones or glitter to it to make it match her outfit.
6. Partner Up: If you can find a friend to be Veneer, your impact will be doubled. The duo dynamic is hilarious to play with.
7. Body Paint Sealer: If you use the white body paint, make sure to use a good setting spray so you don’t get makeup on your metallic costume.
8. False Lashes: Add huge, dramatic false lashes to make your eyes look bigger and more cartoonish.
Character Vibe Notes
Velvet is the definition of a diva. She is selfish, talented, and completely unaware of how mean she can be because she believes she deserves everything. When you are in this Velvet costume, channel that energy.
Don’t be afraid to be a little “extra.” Roll your eyes, check your nails, and demand attention. However, keep it fun! She’s a villain, but she’s a fun, campy villain. Quotes like “We’re famous!” are great to throw around. Remember, you are doing everyone a favor just by showing up!
Final Thoughts
Creating this Velvet Trolls cosplay is such a fun project because it lets you play with so many textures—glitter, metallic, and neon hair! It’s a bold look that is sure to turn heads.
