Nile Queen Cleopatra Costume

What is a girl’s best friend, asks a number of songs? Well, the quick answer tends to be the shimmer and glimmer of diamonds. They represent beauty, internal brilliance, and the sort of longevity and lasting power that falls right within the idea of eternity. But, ultimately, they are only gemstones. Diamonds might be pretty impressive, but they lack the real vivid color and life that hits what a gal really needs. How can they possibly compare when put toe-to-toe with the idea of the ultimate authority of divine mandated rule!?

That’s the question posed to the most famously beautiful ruler of all time, Cleopatra. And what is the biggest problem with leading a massive country full of people just drooling over your magnanimous power? Well, looking amazing certainly isn’t the problem. If anything, such power and beauty only brings about the constant threat of betrayal and almost certain early death by assassination—often including truly unusual ways of bringing it about. We admit that dealing with murder plots isn’t a great aspect of the job description, but it at least makes for an eternal story for your subjects and enthusiasts hundreds of years later.

So, it is now time to step up and claim your throne and make both Antony and Caesar roil with jealousy. Do so with this Nile Queen Cleopatra costume. This lovely black, polyester sheath dress is form fitting and has astounding contrast thanks to its aqua edging, gold and aqua armbands with long draping cloth that sings of the Nile, itself, and a sequined headband with lovely dangling beads and a bright faux gemstone in its center. The golden knit apron belt has a mystical scarab design in the same aqua tone that completes the balanced look. Complete your whole ensemble with a cobra staff or jeweled rings. (… Or an antidote phial, just in case some of your ‘allies’ bring in some serpents of their own!)
