Beauty pageants are a time to showcase your looks, as well as your talent. The talent competition is usually a large part of the pageant and is scored as such. This competition often incorporates costumes. To showcase your routine, consider some unusual pageant costume ideas. The type of costume to wear depends on what you will do for the talent competition.
Cheerleader
Spice up a talent routine for the pageant with a cheerleader costume. It is possible to make the costume on your own or have it made for the pageant participant. A cheerleader costume works well for a young child participating in pageants, as well as a teenager. The costume should be a generic costume, with no affiliation with a particular team.
Princess
Dressing up as a princess is a lovely pageant costume idea. Whether it is a generic princess, a fairy princess or one of the Disney princesses, it is a time to sparkle and shine. This type of costume is most suitable for a young child participating in a pageant. Enhance girliness by using lots of pink or a pale yellow.
Warrior
For an older teenager or grown woman participating in pageants, a great costume idea is a warrior costume with gold metallic armor. This is a costume that many can make themselves and looks terrific on women with athletic physiques. A warrior costume may be too grown up looking for a younger pageant participant.
Statue of Liberty
A way a pageant participant can express patriotism, which often garners support from pageant judges, is to wear a Statue of Liberty costume. This costume idea is appropriate for pageant participants of all ages. Incorporate "The Star Spangled Banner" or other distinctly American songs into the talent portion of the pageant.
