Lorelei Lee from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Marilyn Monroe sang the iconic song ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend’ in this 1953 film. The song title alone should be enough to make any jewelry lover want to dress up as Marilyn’s character Lorelei Lee. You’ll need a hot pink ball gown and matching gloves, deep red lipstick, and as many diamonds as you can find. Lorelei wore stacks of diamond bracelets as well as a matching diamond necklace and earring set in the famous musical number.

Cleopatra

Who wouldn’t want to be a queen for a day? Dressing up as the legendary Egyptian pharaoh will require a flowy dress, a generous amount of black eyeliner, and a ton of bling. Ancient Egyptians viewed gold jewelry as a symbol of power and status, so royalty were always decked out in layers of sparkling jewels. Complete your Cleopatra costume with plenty of gold and turquoise jewelry: chunky chain necklaces, cuff bracelets, chandelier earrings, and an ornate headpiece.

Princess Jasmine from Aladdin

We don’t know what we’re more jealous of - Princess Jasmine’s magic carpet, or her stunning jewels. Channel the Arabian princess with a turquoise two-piece outfit and plenty of gold jewelry. The original animated Jasmine was famous for her chunky gold earrings and necklace, while the new live-action Jasmine wore a more intricate selection of gold and turquoise jewelry.

1920s Flapper

The Roaring 20s were famous for their decadent parties and lavish fashions. Women of the era loved to showcase their glamorous side with extravagant furs, glitzy dresses, and layers of jewels and pearls. To dress up as a 1920s flapper you’ll need a slip dress, strands of pearls, luxurious drop earrings, and stacked bracelets.

Coco Chanel

Consider this a more refined version of a flapper. Coco Chanel found fame in the 1920s, but her style was more minimal than the average socialite. To dress up as the legendary designer, find an elegant tweed suit or LBD and accessorize with generously layered pearl necklaces and matching button earrings.

Fortune Teller

This mystical occupation requires a psychic ability and a whole lot of jewelry. Fortune tellers are famous for their glitzy layered necklaces, stacked bracelets, hoop earrings, and oversized rings. Just add a boho dress, a shawl or turban, and a magical crystal ball to turn yourself into a fortune teller.

Pirate Queen

Pirates sailed the world in search of precious gems and other treasures, so it’s no wonder that their leaders were often decked out in extravagant jewelry. Embellish your costume with gold chains, drop earrings, and leather bracelets. Make your costume extra convincing by using jewelry that features skull, anchor, or coin charms.
