Evil Queen Running Costume

Are you more of a villain than a princess? Then maybe dressing up as an Evil Queen is the perfect running costume for you.

Creating your very own Evil Queen costume for running is pretty quick & easy. Here’s how…

Evil Queen Running Costume Essentials

* {one} purple running visor (& if you’re lucky, we may even have a purple tiara visor)
* {one} purple colored tank top or running shirt
* {one} black sparkle athletic super cape with white collar (here’s a fairly easy cape & collar tutorial)
* {one} pair purple sparkle sleeves
* {one} purple sparkle running skirt
* {one} pair of crown shoe shwings
* {one} gold medallion necklace
* {one} sinister red pair of lips (rumor has it MAC Russian Red lipstick works well & won’t wear off.)
* {one} pair of evil purple eye lids
* {one} pair of crown shoe shwings
* optional: matching running shoes (while they aren’t necessary, matching running shoes really are the “icing on the cake”)

Assembling the Evil Queen running costume is pretty self-explanatory… just be prepared to sweat a little in that evil queen headpiece. But trust us, the cheers (& occasional light-hearted “boo’s”) will be well worth it.
