If you’re having trouble choosing a Halloween costume this year, why not consider a classic Disney option? While recent Disney characters like Emily Blunt’s Jungle Cruise adventurer or Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean offer trendy choices, nothing beats the timeless charm of Disney princesses. Among them, Belle from Beauty and the Beast is a standout, offering a costume that’s both classic and effortlessly elegant.

Whether you want to channel Belle’s iconic ballgown or her simple village look, here’s everything you need to create the perfect Belle Halloween costume.

Channel Belle’s Classic Village Look

If you’re aiming for comfort and simplicity, Belle’s “quiet village” look is perfect. You don’t need to splurge on a fancy yellow ballgown; instead, focus on her more casual attire. For this look, you’ll want to wear clothing in blue and white. Think of a blue blouse with white accents, a white shirt paired with a blue denim jacket, or a blue dress with a white skirt. The key is to capture the essence of Belle’s humble village outfit without overcomplicating things.

For the finishing touches, Belle’s makeup and hairstyle are just as easy to master. To get her classic village look, try a simple no-makeup look for Belle’s natural beauty. If you’re in the mood for something a bit fancier, like Belle at the ball, we’ve got a tutorial for that too! Add some fake freckles and subtly enhanced brows to emulate Emma Watson’s portrayal of Belle from the live-action Beauty and the Beast.

Recreate Emma Watson’s Enchanting Belle

Want to bring Emma Watson’s Belle to life? It’s easier than you think!

Start with a makeup look similar to our earlier tutorial but add some fake freckles for a youthful, fresh appearance. A brow pencil can also help to thicken your eyebrows, giving you that iconic Belle look.

Belle’s Hairstyles: Simple Yet Stunning

Belle’s hairstyles are known for being easy and elegant. For her village look, try a butterfly twist—a simple yet stylish way to dress up a low ponytail. Add a blue ribbon to make it clear that you’re channeling Belle. For the ball, a half-updo with a low bun near the crown of your head, adorned with some gold ribbon, will complete the look beautifully.

Once your outfit and hairstyle are set, all that’s left is to channel Belle’s love for reading. Carry a book and immerse yourself in your own “great wide somewhere” as you enjoy the Halloween festivities. Bonus points if you find a cozy corner at the party and get lost in a good book, just like Belle would!

So, if you’re ready to bring a touch of Disney magic to your Halloween celebrations, Belle is the perfect choice. With a classic look that’s both charming and comfortable, you’ll be ready to enchant everyone at your Halloween party.
