Costumes for Avatar Fans
It looks like costumes for Avatar fans are going to be BIG this Halloween following the hit movie release on DVD this year. Whether you are looking for an adult Avatar costume theme or kids Avatar costume ideas the question is do you have the time, skill and inclination to attempt to make your own outfit and if not what ready-made costumes worth buying?
The best ready made Avatar costumes will be styled as closely as possible to the costumes worn in the movie. Try to find officially licensed authentic costumes rather than too-cheap versions from discount stores which made fit badly and look cheap. It is important that your costume will be instantly recognised. If you try to make your own – unless you are a very skilled costume maker – you could risk looking like a Smurf instead of Princess Neytiri or Jake Sully!
If you want to make an Avatar costume you need to study pictures of the characters carefully to make your Avatar outfit as authentic as possible. Pay attention to details such as the striped markings on the blue skin, native style beads and ragged, frayed clothing and wigs and tail.
Take a look at these costumes for Avatar themed ideas and inspiration. If you are not a dress maker or if have not left enough time to make your own costume it is probably a good idea to purchase a costume while there is still time rather than
attempting to make your own and then turning up at a costume party with a costume that isn’t quite right.
Princess Neytiri Adult Avatar Costume
This Neytiri costume is an officially licensed Avatar costume and includes a vibrant blue, striped bodysuit with tail, apron, fake leather arm gauntlet and two sets of beads to be worn on the wrist, just like in the movie. The costume is currently at a low price at BuyCostumes.com so really fantastic value when you compare it to the time and effort it would take to fashion your own costume. If you buy the costume you can add your own personal touches and customise it yourself.
Don’t forget to complete your Avatar blue costume with a stunning Avatar wig. Also remember to paint your face blue with darker blue stripes. You should be able to buy the wig and face paints from the same costume store as your outfit. As well as wigs specifically 
designed for Avatar costumes you could also check out some Native American style or Dredlock style wigs as an alternative. You could then style the wig yourself and add beads or feathers etc. Try blue fake eyelashes to complement your look – check out these amazing extra long blue eyelashes!
Finally arm yourself with a spear or bow and arrow and get ready to stop hearts!

About Costumes for Avatar characters
James Cameron’s Oscar award winning epic movie Avatar, captured the hearts and imaginations of the world. The film is set in 2154, when humans are mining a precious mineral on planet Pandora. The mining development threatens the existence of a local indigenous tribe of Na’vi – a humanoid species. ‘Avatar’ refers to the genetically engineered hybrid Navi-human bodies used by a researchers to interact with the natives of Pandora.
Fans of Avatar will be looking for the very best Avatar Halloween costumes to outshine the rest of the party goers. There are essentially two character types to base your costume on. The first type is as the tall, blue-skinned Na’vi native. For this type of Avatar costume Neytiri is the first character to spring to mind. The second is as an Avatar, a hybrid cross between a Na’vi and human such as that of the character Jake Sully and Sigourny Weaver’s character Dr Grace Augustine.
If you choose to dress as a Na’vi, will need to put on your Avatar blue costume first before using face to avoid smudging. Wear a braided hair wig or if you can manage it seek out cat-eye contact lenses. The paint on blue body makeup all over your face, neck and any other exposed skin. Paint your ears or even make your own Na’vi Avatar ears to fit over your own. If you do a search on YouTube you will be able to find an Avatar makeup tutorial. The Na’vi costume is virtually ‘naked’ apart from loin cloth so you will need to have the confidence to carry off this look as you are likely to be the centre of attention.
