First off, we'd better make sure that we're on the same page. Carnival, Karneval / Fasching, and Mardi Gras are the same festival but celebrated in different ways according to your location. If you're in Germany or Austria than you're celebrating Fasching which is a subset of the Karneval season. And if you're in Spain, many parts of Europe, the Caribbean, or most famously, Brazil then you're celebrating Carnival. And if you're in good ol' New Orleans than it's Mardi Gras. 

All of these holidays represent the last weeks before Lent, a Catholic observation of fasting that lasts for six weeks. In fact, Mardi Gras translates to "Fat Tuesday" since it's the last Tuesday before Ash Wednesday when the fasting starts. While people in less jovial places than New Orleans might celebrate this holiday by wearing beads and eating pancakes for dinner, other people from all over the world turn the event into a weeks-long holiday. 

Are you preparing to celebrate Mardi Gras in all its glory? Do it right and you'll have memories that last a lifetime! First off, where ever you're celebrating this holiday, costumes are always involved. Mardi Gras means sparkles, beads, feathers, and fun. And if all those elements are in the Mardi Gras colors of gold, green, and purple (standing for power, faith, and justice) then you'll look like a natural!

Are you looking for a traditional look that you might find in a parade or ceremony? The Mardi Gras King costume is a great place to start! The tradition of the King started in 1872. Each year one person is selected by the Krewe of Rex to rule over the celebration. We won't judge you if you crown yourself instead of putting yourself in the running. Seems like a whole lot of pressure, to us!

While it's actually illegal to wear a mask any time other than Mardi Gras in New Orleans, we have it on good authority that you can get away with it in the weeks before, in the spirit of the holiday! Our fancy masks are just the thing to make you feel like you're at a modern masked ball! Wear the feathered ribboned Mardi Gras mask and you're sure to catch plenty of beads to wear around your neck!

Of course, you don't have to go the masked route when you're heading to the Carnival, Karneval, or Mardi Gras streets. Clowns are a very popular celebratory choice! Part disguise and all the mischief, clowns capture the spirit of the event just right. We realize that they're out of favor but if clowns don't fit in at a parade, we just aren't sure what's becoming of the world!

Are you ready to imbibe on the intoxicating fervor of Carnevale? Now that you've learned a little bit about this holiday, we hope you're open to diving in. You can choose to use some of these looks and combine them with costumes from the rest of our site or simply throw a mask on with something fabulous, get out there, and celebrate. There's never been a show like Mardi Gras!

HalloweenCostumes.com How To

Carnival Costumes

Carnival Costumes

There’s Rio Carnival and Carnival of Venice. Both are festivals known for elaborate costumes and celebrations that end on Mardi Gras. But their styles are entirely different. Knowing which one you’re attending is really important when shopping for an outfit. A tropical bird or club-ready outfit isn’t going to work in Venice and medieval garb and gilded masks won’t fly in Rio.

So, you may be wondering how to make a Carnival costume. First, be clear on which Carnival you’re attending. Then, give our Carnival costumes guide a quick look for inspiration! With various exclusive styles to wear as is and accessories to turn simple costumes into Carnival-ready stunners, we’ll help get you set up with a costume that’s perfect for the celebrations!

Rio Carnival Costume Ideas

If you’re celebrating Carnival in Rio or dreaming up a house party with a Rio Carnival theme, the following costume ideas are a must-see! Because even if you’re not joining the parade with a towering crown of feathers or from atop a pair of stilts that give your colorful clown costume an incredible boost, you’ll want to channel the flashy fashion Carnival is known for.

Take the following suggestions for inspiration and pair them with an eye-catching multicolor wig, incredible platform boots, or a set of theatrical wings and you’re in business!

Carnival Outfits

Disco Dance Outfit

The stunning peacocks with vibrant feathers and sky-high crowns are typically reserved for parade participants. The audience is more likely to be seen in an outfit along the lines of this golden disco jumpsuit. Especially when heading to celebrations outside the parade. After all, Carnival is a party. Disco costumes are made for parties. This one comes with the glitz, glamor, and accessories to make it great for Carnival and more.

Carnival Halloween Costumes

Carnival Halloween Costume

Whether strutting in the parade or channeling that Rio spirit for Halloween, our Carnival collection has you covered. Our exclusive feisty flamingo costume brings sassy style to any event with its hot pink color, sparkling velour fabric, and playful feather peplum. Meanwhile, like so many of our adult styles, its minimalist shape is a great choice for hotter weather and chilly nights where tights add fun and warmth to the look!

Carnival of Venice Costume Ideas

Taking your Carnival cues from Venice instead? Masquerade inspiration is going to be your friend. In fact, that’s the entire look! Elaborate gowns, suits fit for kings, towering powder wigs, and dazzling masks are the only way to go. Luckily, our full selection stretches from storybook king and queen costumes to Victorian ghosts and vampires that work as a starting point just as well!

Check out our brief overview of how you can bring your rococo, steampunk, and plague doctor ideas together with ready-to-wear costumes and accessories available here!

Masquerade Costumes

King Loui Costume

Venetian Carnival-goers channel the luxurious style of royalty and centuries-past high society with intricately detailed gowns and suits. Our Louis XVI costume offers an easy start. With its shimmer and golden trims, it carries the appropriate glitter. But to elevate the look or complete another French Revolution era costume, a classic Bauta-esque white mask or half-mask similar to Colombina mask is a must!

Venice Masks

Bird Mask

We’ve already hit on the topic of masks, but there are plenty more masquerade mask styles to see! This feathered style combines the popular plague doctor beaks seen during Carnival and over-the-top detailing for a truly versatile style. But whether you pick the exclusive or go with a classic Mardi Gras-appropriate option, just remember a royally styled wig, top hat, or diadem can take the mask choice to the height of Carnival fashion!
