Esmeralda
Bring out your inner free spirit with bold colors, gold hoops, and that effortless confidence. Esmeralda’s look glows even brighter on brown skin — think boho goddess meets street festival flair
Essential of the outfit to look like the part! Grab the purple one as that’s what Esmeralda has
Belly Dance Hip Coin Scarf Belt
Esmeralda has a purple skirt, but this one’s perfect because it gives that sexy fitted look that you want at Halloween
Long Satin Silk Dressy Flared A-Line Skirt
Any white top balloon, or puffer top that mimics a pirate would work! But linking one in case you don’t have one laying around
Off the shoulder puffer sleeve white top
This is the perfect blue corset. I think this corset gives it a modern Esmeralda look. I have it for my esmeralda outfit.
Vintage Waist Corset Top
Accessories are part of the outfit otherwise you really won’t be able to know who the character is

What’s a traveler without their stolen jewelry but no seriously Esmeralda has to have a gold cuff bracelet

Orange Blossom from strawberry shortcake
Sweet, smart, and stylish — Orange Blossom brings that sunshine energy! Think bright citrus tones, playful curls, and an outfit that’s fresh, fun, and totally brown-girl radiant.
I wanted to go for a thigh high that way you can show skin still I mean it is Halloween
Striped thigh, high socks
I think a ruffle lace skirt gives it that childhood toy look. And who doesn’t love a mini skirt

Moana
Island goddess vibes only. Glowy skin, beachy waves, and tribal-inspired touches that honor the ocean queen within. You’re not just voyaging — you’re serving.
This will be the perfect base to our skirt. Plus nothing says an island girl like a grass skirt
Grass Skirts Tropical Skirt
If you want more coverage than a grass skirt. Or if the grass skirt is not your vibe this is close!
Lace Slip Skirt
These are a must! A costume is nothing without the accessories
Costume Set: Ocean Pendant, Boho Shell Anklet
Go with the red tube top. Also something about the texture of the tube top and pattern gives it that ocean look.
Floral Mesh Tube Top

Sexy showgirl costume! it’s such an easy costume, but you’ll really stand out with all the glitz and glam
I personally have this corset and it is so hot!!! I’ve gotten so many compliments
