A magician costume is one of the easiest characters to read from across a room, because the silhouette does most of the work: a tailored jacket, a hat with height and a wand in a gloved hand. I've gathered thirty-five versions for women here, from the classic black tailcoat to sequins, velvet, circus stripes and a few you can pull together from your own closet tonight. Each one covers the clothes, hair, makeup, shoes and props. Some are built for dancing, some for cold porches and some for a long seated dinner, so read them with your own evening in mind.
Building a Magician Silhouette From Thrifted Pieces
Almost every look below rests on the same three things: a jacket with a sharp shoulder, a hat with height and something in your hand. Get those right and the colour, fabric and makeup are just your personality on top. I'd always start with the jacket, because it's the hardest piece to fake.
- Look for a women's blazer one size up with a long back. Men's dinner jackets in thrift shops often have satin lapels already, and a tailor can take in the side seams cheaply if the shoulders fit.
- To fake tails, cut two long panels of black fabric, hem them, and stitch them inside the back hem of a plain blazer. Safety pins work for one night but show when you sit.
- Satin lapels can be added with fusible web and a satin scrap. Press with a cloth over the top, since satin scorches fast.
- A crisp white shirt matters more than people think. A soft, crumpled collar makes the whole outfit look borrowed, so press it last thing before you dress.
Once the jacket fits, try everything on together in front of a long mirror, wand in hand. If you can tell it's a magician from the far side of the room, you're done; if not, it's almost always the hat that's too small.
1. Classic Magician Costume With Black Tailcoat
This is the one I'd make first if you've never done a magician before. A fitted black tailcoat over a crisp white button-down, with straight black trousers or comfortable leggings, gives you the shape people expect. A red bow tie, white gloves and a satin cummerbund add the traditional contrast. Keep your hair in a sleek bun or smooth waves so the top hat sits level instead of perching on a ponytail, and go with defined eyeliner and red lipstick. Loafers, low block heels or lace-up ankle boots all work. Tuck a few playing cards into a pocket, carry a light wand, and let a small plush rabbit peek out of the hat. I glue a strip of felt inside the hat brim first, because a plain satin lining slides off smooth hair within the hour.
2. Glam Magician Costume With Sequin Blazer
Sequins carry the show here. A black or silver sequin blazer over a fitted camisole or mock-neck bodysuit, with tailored black pants underneath, keeps the shimmer in one place so the outfit stays wearable for hours. Hair can be sleek and straight, a high ponytail or glossy curls; add metallic eyeshadow and a berry lip. Pointed ankle boots or heeled loafers suit it. A mini top hat on a headband, satin gloves, a glitter-trimmed wand and a small deck of oversized cards are all you need on top. One warning from experience: cheap sequin jackets have scratchy inside seams, so wear a sleeved layer underneath or bind the armholes with soft tape before the night.
3. Red And Black Magician Costume With Cape
Red and black is the classic stage palette for a reason. I'd pair a black fitted jumpsuit with a red satin waistcoat or corset-style belt worn over the top, then add a knee-length black cape lined in red. The lining matters more than the shell, since it flashes every time you turn. Choose a light fabric for both, or the cape drags at the neck all evening. A black top hat with a red ribbon ties the colours together. Soft curls or a low ponytail, winged eyeliner and a classic red lip finish the face, with black knee-high or block-heel ankle boots underneath. White gloves, a striped wand and a few cards tucked in the hatband are the only extras it needs.
4. DIY Magician Costume With Closet Basics
Most women already own the base for this one. A black blazer, white blouse and black trousers from your closet become a magician the moment you add a ribbon bow tie and a top hat made from black cardstock, craft foam or a refurbished party hat. Cardstock is the quickest, but foam holds its shape better if you'll be outside in damp air. Keep your hair in a neat ponytail or a smooth side part, with mascara, defined brows and bright lipstick. Black flats, loafers or clean ankle boots are fine for walking. For the wand, paint a wooden dowel black and wrap the ends in white tape. A homemade card fan, or a plush rabbit sitting in a black tote, finishes it cheaply.
5. Vintage Magician Costume With Velvet Vest
Velvet gives this version its old-stage mood. Layer a burgundy or black velvet vest over a high-neck white blouse with lace cuffs, then add tailored trousers, a long A-line skirt or knee-length culottes. Pin your hair into a low twisted bun or careful waves under a small top hat, and go soft with smoky eyes, rosy cheeks and a deep red lip. Buttoned ankle boots look period without being hard to walk in. Add white gloves, a pocket watch, a few cards and a wooden-look wand. If it's cold, a fitted tailcoat on top is fine, but leave it open. Velvet's texture is the whole point, and it disappears under a closed jacket.
6. Circus Magician Costume With Striped Pants
Stripes read as circus before anyone notices the hat. High-waisted black-and-white striped pants with a fitted red military jacket or cropped tailcoat, plus a white blouse underneath, give a graphic, lively outfit. Curls, a smooth ponytail or a braided updo all sit well under a miniature black hat. For makeup, red lipstick, defined lashes and one small gold star near the eye are enough. Lace-up boots or low booties keep you moving. White gloves, a gold-trimmed wand and oversized playing cards finish it. Resist adding a patterned scarf or printed tights. With wide stripes and a bright jacket, a third pattern turns the whole thing muddy in photos.
7. Cute Magician Costume With Tulle Skirt
A full tulle skirt softens the magician into something sweet and playful. I'd use a knee-length black tulle skirt with a fitted white shirt and a red satin vest, and add opaque tights for warmth and coverage. Ballet flats or low ankle boots keep it light. A high ponytail, loose curls or two polished braids all suit it, with rosy blush, fluttery lashes and a cheerful red lip. Choose a miniature top hat headband over a full-size hat if you plan to dance or move through crowds, because a tall hat gets knocked constantly at a busy party. Carry a short striped wand and a plush rabbit. Small card-shaped earrings are a nice detail. Tulle crushes in a car, so hang the skirt or lay it flat until you leave.
8. Elegant Magician Costume With Wide-Leg Pants
Wide-leg trousers make the most comfortable magician I know for a seated dinner. Choose high-waisted black pants and tuck in a white satin blouse with a structured collar, then add a fitted black waistcoat or longline blazer to define the shape. A sleek low bun or glossy side-parted waves, clean eyeliner, neutral eyeshadow and a deep berry lip suit the refined look. Pointed flats, heeled loafers or block-heel boots sit nicely under the longer hem. Top it with a tall black top hat, white gloves and a slim silver-tipped wand. A fan of black-and-white cards in the waistcoat pocket does the identifying. Hem the trousers to the shoes you'll actually wear, or the back of the leg frays on the pavement by midnight.
9. Plus Size Magician Costume With Longline Blazer
A longline blazer gives a plus size magician costume structure and room to move. Wear a comfortable black jumpsuit, or a matching blouse and trousers, underneath, and add a red or purple satin belt wherever you like your waist defined. When I fit this, I check that the blazer buttons without pulling across the bust and lets you lift both arms; that matters more than the exact size on the label. Soft curls, braids or a sleek ponytail work under a lightweight top hat. Winged liner, luminous foundation and a bold lip finish the face. Supportive block heels, loafers or cushioned boots keep you on your feet. White gloves, a striped wand and oversized cards are the props. Stretch fabrics and adjustable belts mean you stay comfortable after the meal too.
10. Last-Minute Magician Costume With Little Black Dress
A little black dress turns into a magician in about ten minutes. Pick a knee-length or midi style you can move in, then layer a crisp white collar or detachable shirt front underneath. Tie red ribbon at the waist and use the same ribbon on a simple black hat. Opaque tights with black flats, loafers or ankle boots keep it practical. A sleek ponytail or loose curls take no time, and winged eyeliner with red lipstick adds the classic stage touch. Paint a pencil, paper straw or wooden dowel for the wand. Add white gloves and stick a few playing cards along the neckline or waistband with removable fashion tape. Carry a small plush rabbit, and nobody will have to ask who you are.
11. White Magician Costume With Silver Details
An all-white magician flips the usual palette, and silver keeps it from looking like a bridal suit. Start with a white pantsuit, fitted jumpsuit or blazer and trousers, and layer a silver camisole or metallic waistcoat underneath. A white top hat trimmed with silver ribbon, with a sleek bun, high ponytail or smooth waves, finishes the head. Cool-toned eyeshadow, silver liner and a soft pink lip suit the colours. White ankle boots or silver flats depend on how far you'll walk. Carry a white wand with metallic ends, a fan of silver-backed cards, white gloves and a sparkly bow tie. White shows every smudge, so pack makeup wipes and do your lipstick before you dress, never after.
12. Purple Magician Costume With Satin Cape
Deep purple feels theatrical without leaning on black. I'd wear a purple satin blouse or fitted jumpsuit under a black waistcoat, then add a flowing purple cape that ends around the knee. Black trousers or leggings ground the colour and keep you moving freely. Loose waves or a braided crown sit well under a black hat with a purple ribbon. Plum eyeshadow, defined lashes and berry lipstick match the palette. Riding boots or heeled ankle boots keep you steady. Add white gloves, a black-and-purple wand and star-printed cards. Satin capes pull at the throat if they're tied with ribbon, so I sew on a hook-and-eye clasp instead and let the weight sit on the shoulders.
13. Steampunk Magician Costume With Goggles
Steampunk turns a stage outfit into a small mechanical project. Start with a white ruffled blouse, a brown or black waistcoat and high-waisted trousers tucked into lace-up boots. A short bustle skirt over the pants adds shape if you want it. Pinned curls, a braided bun or a textured ponytail all work. Put brass-coloured goggles around a small top hat, not over your eyes; worn on the face they fog and cut your side vision. Warm brown eyeshadow, defined brows and burgundy lipstick suit the vintage tones. Fingerless gloves, a pocket watch and a wand wrapped in metallic craft tape finish it, and a belt pouch holds a deck of worn-looking cards so your hands stay free.
14. Victorian Magician Costume With Long Skirt
A floor-skimming skirt gives the Victorian magician its graceful movement and modest coverage. Pair a long black A-line skirt with a high-neck white blouse that has ruffles, pintucks or full sleeves, then add a fitted burgundy waistcoat and a cropped black jacket with tailcoat points. A low bun, pinned curls or a braided updo goes under a miniature hat. Keep the makeup muted: smoky eyeshadow, rosy blush, a wine lip. Buttoned low-heel boots complete it, along with a wooden-look wand, white gloves and vintage-style cards. Before you leave, walk up a flight of stairs in the skirt. If you have to hold it up to climb, take the hem up an inch.
15. Cabaret Magician Costume With Fringe Skirt
Fringe moves every time you do, which is why it suits a cabaret magician. Wear a knee-length black fringe skirt with a tucked-in white blouse and a fitted red vest, and add opaque tights. Glossy vintage waves or a smooth bob fit the era; a wig gets you there fast if your hair is long. Defined eyeliner, red lipstick and a touch of gold eyeshadow are enough. Low character heels, Mary Janes or ankle-strap flats keep the shoe secure. Top it with a miniature hat, satin gloves and a slim black wand, plus a few card-shaped hair clips or earrings. Fringe tangles if you sit on it, so smooth it down under you each time you take a seat.
16. Ringmaster Magician Costume With Red Jacket
A red ringmaster jacket mixes circus polish with stage magic. Wear it over a white button-down and fitted black trousers, ideally with gold trim or buttons for contrast, and add a black belt to shape the waist. A high ponytail, smooth curls or a braided bun sits under a small top hat. Winged eyeliner, warm blush and a red lip finish the face, with knee-high or lace-up ankle boots on your feet. Carry a wand, not a whip or a cane. That one prop is what tells people you're the magician and not the circus host. White gloves and oversized cards tucked under one epaulet are enough detail.
17. Celestial Magician Costume With Star Cape
Stars and moons make this one feel like a storybook while keeping the stage silhouette. Start with a navy jumpsuit, or a matching blouse and trousers, and add a dark blue cape covered in silver star appliqués, cut short enough that it never drags. A silver bow tie and a navy top hat with metallic ribbon finish the outfit. Soft waves, a low ponytail or silver-threaded braids all suit it. Shimmering blue eyeshadow, small star stickers at the temples and a neutral lip keep it family-friendly. Silver flats or navy ankle boots, a star-tipped wand and moon-patterned cards complete it. If you're ironing on the appliqués, test one on a scrap first; some polyester capes go shiny or pucker under a hot iron.
18. Rainbow Magician Costume With Colorful Tailcoat
A rainbow magician is pure fun, and the trick is a calm base. Start with a black shirt and trousers, then add a tailcoat with bright lapels, colour panels or removable ribbon trim. A rainbow bow tie and matching hatband pull it together. Wear a high ponytail with temporary coloured extensions, or weave thin ribbons through braids. Colourful eyeliner, rosy cheeks and clear gloss suit the mood. White sneakers or black ankle boots keep you comfortable. White gloves, a striped wand and a fan of bright cards are the props. My favourite touch is a rainbow scarf tucked up one sleeve, because you can pull it out slowly as a little trick all night.
19. Pastel Magician Costume With Pink Blazer
Pastels make a sweet change from the usual dark magician. Wear a blush pink blazer over a white blouse with lavender tailored trousers, or swap the two colours around. Add a mint bow tie and a small pastel top hat fixed firmly to a headband. Smooth waves, a bubble ponytail or a neat half-up style all suit it, with lavender eyeshadow, pink blush and glossy rose lipstick. White loafers, pastel flats or clean sneakers make an easy base. Finish with white gloves, a pink-and-white wand and cards backed with pastel paper. Keep the blazer properly tailored. Pastels in loose cuts read as Easter, and the structured shoulder is what keeps it on stage.
20. Gold Magician Costume With Metallic Waistcoat
A gold waistcoat against plain black gives you stage presence without much effort. Layer it over a fitted black blouse or mock-neck top with tailored black trousers. Add a black tailcoat for a traditional shape, but leave it open so the metallic front shows. A sleek bun, high ponytail or polished curls sits under a black hat with gold trim, and gold eyeshadow, sharp liner and a warm red lip suit the metal. Black block heels or pointed ankle boots balance it. Black gloves, gold-backed cards and a light wand wrapped in metallic tape are the props. Keep jewellery to small gold studs. Big earrings fight the waistcoat for attention.
21. Silver Magician Costume With Sparkle Jumpsuit
A silver jumpsuit makes a sleek, modern base. Look for comfortable stretch, a defined waist and coverage you're happy with, then layer a cropped black tailcoat over it for the familiar outline. A smooth high ponytail or brushed-out waves, silver eyeshadow, black liner and a cool berry lip suit the shine. Black platform loafers, low boots or silver sneakers each give a different comfort level. Add a black top hat, short satin gloves, a silver-tipped black wand and oversized monochrome cards. Skip loose body glitter with this one. It transfers onto the jacket lining, the car seat and everyone you hug, and it hides the clean metallic finish you paid for.
22. Gothic Magician Costume With Lace Blouse
Black lace and burgundy give a gothic magician drama that's still fine for a family party. Wear a high-neck lace blouse with a lined bodice, fitted black trousers and a long burgundy velvet vest, plus a black tailcoat or knee-length cape. Smooth dark waves, a braided bun or a sleek ponytail all suit it. Choose charcoal eyeshadow, precise liner and deep plum lipstick, and skip graphic effects. Lace-up boots or low platforms ground the look. Black gloves, an antique-style deck and a dark striped wand finish it. I decorate the black top hat with burgundy ribbon and a few fabric roses, stitched on rather than glued, because glued roses pop off the moment the hat gets cold.
23. Modern Magician Costume With Cropped Blazer
Clean lines make this the fashion-forward option. Pair a cropped black blazer with a fitted white mock-neck top and high-waisted wide-leg trousers, then add a narrow red belt or satin cummerbund for the stage colour. A sleek ponytail, short polished bob or centre-parted waves suit it, with graphic winged liner and a muted red lip. Pointed flats, loafers or square-toe ankle boots follow the tailored shape. Swap the tall hat for a small structured hat or a headband with card details. Fingerless white gloves and a minimalist black wand finish it. The cropped blazer only works if the trousers sit at your natural waist; with low-rise pants you get an awkward gap at the midriff.
24. Modest Magician Costume With Maxi Dress
A long black maxi dress makes a modest magician with only a couple of extra layers. Pick one with full or three-quarter sleeves, add a fitted red waistcoat or wide satin belt, then a light tailcoat-style cape for the traditional shape. A low bun, long braid or soft waves can sit under a firmly pinned black top hat. Subtle smoky eyes, rosy blush and a berry lip suit the coverage. Flat ankle boots or cushioned loafers are the safest choice, since maxi hems catch heels. Wrist-length white gloves, a striped wand and a few cards pinned to the waistcoat finish it. Check the hem in the shoes you'll wear, because a dress that brushes the floor is a trip hazard on stairs.
25. Warm Magician Costume With Velvet Coat
On a cold night you want a magician that still looks finished once you're bundled up. I start with a black turtleneck and thermal leggings or trousers, then a long velvet tailcoat in black, burgundy or deep purple, with a satin bow tie and a fitted waistcoat over the knit. Warm socks go inside lace-up boots, and thin gloves can hide under decorative white cuffs. A braided crown, low ponytail or tucked waves fits under a felt top hat. Long-wear eyeliner, cream blush and berry lipstick hold up in wind better than powder alone. Keep the wand and cards in an inside pocket. A capelet fastened under the collar adds warmth and leaves the coat's shape visible.
26. Summer Magician Costume With Tailored Shorts
For a hot evening, the magician needs to look polished without the layers. Pair tailored black shorts with a breathable white short-sleeve blouse and a light red vest, choosing an inseam you're comfortable sitting in, with sheer or opaque tights if you like. A sleeveless cropped tailcoat keeps the traditional shape without trapping heat. A high ponytail, braided bun or short waves suit a miniature hat. Waterproof mascara, light liner and a red lip stain survive sweat better than cream lipstick. Black loafers, low boots or sneakers keep it walkable, with fingerless white gloves, a short wand and card-shaped earrings. Cotton and linen breathe far better than satin, so pick those for the shirt and vest.
27. Magician Assistant Costume With Red Dress
The assistant can be just as theatrical as the magician without being revealing. Choose a knee-length red fit-and-flare dress with a cropped black blazer or short tailcoat, and add opaque black tights with comfortable heels, Mary Janes or ankle boots. Glossy curls, a high ponytail or a smooth vintage wave all suit it, with winged liner, rosy blush and classic red lipstick. A miniature top hat with black ribbon links it to the stage. Carry oversized cards, a bright silk scarf and a small wand, plus white wrist-length gloves. If you're going with a magician partner, agree on the exact red before anyone shops. Two reds that clash look like an accident in every photo.
28. Card Trick Magician Costume With Playing Card Cape
Oversized card details tell people what you are before you lift the wand. Wear a black jumpsuit, or a fitted shirt with tailored trousers, and add a short white cape covered in handmade card symbols. I cut the hearts, spades and diamonds from felt and stitch them on, because felt glued to a polyester cape peels at the edges as soon as the fabric flexes. A red bow tie and black top hat keep the magician palette. A sleek ponytail or polished curls, sharp liner, red lipstick and a tiny card symbol near one eye finish the face. Black boots or loafers, white gloves, jumbo cards and a striped wand complete it. Keep the cape at knee length or shorter so the symbols don't snag on chairs and doorways.
29. Rabbit Hat Magician Costume With Plush Prop
The rabbit is the star of this one. Start with a fitted black blazer, white blouse and a red knee-length skirt or tailored trousers, then choose a tall black top hat sturdy enough to carry a lightweight plush rabbit. Sew a small fabric pocket inside the hat crown so the rabbit sits upright, and add a couple of stitches through its base, or it will tumble out the first time you bend down. Loose curls, a low ponytail or braids sit comfortably under the hat. Defined lashes, pink blush and red lipstick keep the makeup bright. Black tights and low-heeled ankle boots, a short wand and white gloves with removable cuffs finish it.
30. Illusionist Magician Costume With Split-Color Suit
A split black-and-white suit is a neat visual illusion on its own. You can buy a two-tone blazer, or stitch white fabric panels onto one side of a thrifted black jacket; I'd only try the DIY route if you're comfortable topstitching a lapel neatly. Pair it with split trousers, or plain black pants to save work, and add a red bow tie at the centre. Style half your hair sleek and half curled, or use contrasting clips. Try black liner on one eye and silver shadow on the other. Black-and-white loafers or simple black boots, two-tone gloves, a striped wand and reversible cards finish it. The symmetry does the talking, so you don't need bulky illusion props.
31. Fortune Stage Magician Costume With Purple Suit
A tailored purple suit gives a fortune-teller hint of mystery while staying firmly on the stage side, far from anything occult. Wear a plum blazer and matching trousers over a silver satin blouse, with a black bow tie and a top hat trimmed in purple ribbon. Loose waves, a braided ponytail or a smooth bun suit it, along with violet eyeshadow, defined lashes and soft berry lipstick. Silver loafers or black ankle boots keep you comfortable. Props are star-patterned cards, a clear decorative sphere and a simple wand, with white gloves to brighten the deep colour. If you carry the sphere, pick acrylic over glass; it's half the weight and won't shatter on a hard floor.
32. Floral Magician Costume With Embroidered Blazer
Embroidered flowers soften a traditional magician without losing the tailoring. Choose a black blazer or tailcoat with embroidery along the lapels, cuffs or back, over a white blouse and fitted black trousers so the pattern stays the focus. A burgundy bow tie and matching hatband pick up the thread colour. Soft curls, a braided bun or a half-up style with small fabric flowers suit it, with rosy makeup, fine liner and berry lipstick. Black ankle boots or low block heels, a slender wand wrapped in floral ribbon and botanical-backed cards finish it. Don't skip the white gloves here. Without them, an embroidered jacket reads as an evening outfit, not a costume.
33. Blue Magician Costume With Tailcoat Dress
A blue tailcoat dress gives you the stage jacket and the outfit in one garment. Choose navy or royal blue with a fitted bodice, longer back panels and a knee-length skirt, and layer a white collared blouse underneath for contrast. Opaque black tights and polished ankle boots or low heels suit it. A smooth ponytail or curled bob sits under a black top hat with blue ribbon, and blue-grey eyeshadow, crisp liner and a soft red lip keep the face clean. White gloves, a silver-tipped wand and black-and-white cards are the props. If the front feels short, wear tailored shorts or leggings underneath so you can sit and bend without thinking about it.
34. Disco Magician Costume With Flared Pants
Disco energy and stage magic suit each other. Build the outfit around silver or black sequin flares, with a white satin blouse and a cropped black vest, and add a short tailcoat with metallic lapels that stops above the hip so the flare still shows. Voluminous curls or a high ponytail, silver eyeshadow, defined lashes, glowing cheeks and glossy lipstick fit the era. Platforms look right, but I'd only wear a tall pair if you're mostly standing in one place; a low, stable platform is kinder for a long walk. A glitter-trimmed top hat, white gloves, a metallic wand and holographic-looking cards finish it.
35. Neon Magician Costume With Glow Details
Neon trim makes this the magician people spot across a dark party. Start with a solid black jumpsuit or long-sleeve top and trousers, then outline a black blazer's lapels in removable neon ribbon, in one colour or a few that coordinate. Add matching strips around the top hat and wand. A high ponytail with coloured extensions, or neon ribbon woven through braids, suits it, with vivid eyeliner and a bright pink lip on otherwise clean skin. Sneakers or lace-up boots keep you comfortable, and white gloves edged in neon tape and fluorescent cards finish it. Under black light, fluorescent ribbon glows on its own, so you don't need batteries or glow sticks that die halfway through the night.
Top Hats That Stay Put Through a Whole Party
The hat causes more trouble than any other piece of a magician costume. Full-size top hats are tall and light, so they tip forward when you laugh and slide back when you look up. A few small fixes keep one on all evening.
- Line the inside band with a strip of felt or a slice of foam weatherstripping. It grips hair and takes up the gap if the hat runs large.
- Sew a loop of thin elastic inside each side of the brim and slide two bobby pins through the loops into your hair.
- Mini hats on headbands need the headband glued and stitched, not just glued. Hot glue goes brittle in cold air and lets go at the worst moment.
- Cardstock hats soften in drizzle. Spray the outside with a clear sealer the day before, or make the crown from craft foam instead.
Gloves, Capes and Other Small Comforts
White cotton gloves are cheap and look right, but they grey within an hour of handling food and drinks. I pack a spare pair in a pocket and swap them before photos. Satin gloves look smarter yet make it hard to hold a phone or a glass, so fingerless styles are a good compromise for a long party.
With capes, the weight should sit on your shoulders, not your neck. A hook-and-eye or a wide snap at the collar is far more comfortable than a tied ribbon, and it lets go safely if the cape catches on something. Keep capes off the floor and away from candles; polyester lining melts and drips as it burns, and you don't want to find that out up close.
The Tailcoat I'd Reach For Tonight
A good magician costume should be theatrical, easy to read and comfortable enough to keep on for the whole party. The classic version is simple: a tailored jacket, crisp shirt, top hat, wand, cards and shoes you can stand in. Sequins, velvet, colourful tailoring or DIY touches add the personality. Think about the venue, the weather, how much walking you'll do and how much coverage you want before you buy a single piece. Pin the hat, test the shoes and practise turning in the cape. Then choose the version that makes you want to step into the spotlight, from glam to vintage to the little black dress you already own.
