3 Easy DIY Fantastic Beasts Costumes For Opening Night
70 years before Harry Potter was swept off to Hogwarts, magizooligist Newt Scamander arrives in New York City where trouble is brewing for the wizarding community, threatening to expose them to the general public. To make matters worse, the magical creatures Newt has rescued and stowed carefully away in his dimension-defying suitcase have gotten loose. Can he and a pair of savvy sisters recapture these Fantastic Beasts before they cause too much chaos? You’ll have to see the movie to find out! But before you do, consider showing up to opening night as Newt, Queenie Goldstein, or Porpentina Goldstein in one of these 1920s-inspired DIY costumes. All pieces can easily fit into your fall wardrobe and come with Cash Back at Ebates! Which one has you counting the days until the biggest movie premier of the year?
Newt
Blue Lapel Belt Waist Trench Coat, $29.90 (Choies)
Putting a feminine twist on this dapper look isn’t hard with this rich color palette. Plus, it’s cold out there. Time to invest in some long jackets!
Mustard Yellow Womens Vest, $25 (Etsy)
A cute denim vest like this also looks great with your fall sweaters.
We’re betting this little bow tie will make a fine re-gift for the holidays if it’s not totally your style. If it is, bonus!
Wooden Box Purse, $39.95 (Etsy)
Instead of lugging around a big leather case, opt for a cute box purse you can use for the rest of the season.
Queenie
Alice Boutique Silky Duster, $52 (Boohoo.com)
The key to bubbly and friendly Queenie is her dainty pink coat, so start there with this sleek silky duster.
This adorable pink blouse will make a great addition to your work wardrobe.
Rib Knit Wrap Dress, $59 (Nordstrom)
And who can’t use a wrap dress for…anything? They are truly the most versatile piece of clothing you could own.
Riva Women’s High Heels, $49.99 (Kohl’s)
Sensible black pumps are every girlboss’ essential item.
Porpentina (Tina)
Heathered Bow Cloche, $78 (Brooks Brothers)
Thank goodness these precious little hats are back in style!
Wool Blend Trench Coat, $149.90 (Nordstrom)
If the hat and this coat aren’t a match made in heaven, we don’t know what is.
Loveletter Surplice Blouse, $25 (Tobi)
All you need is a plan cami underneath and you have a flowing blouse that is perfect for day-to-night.
Sailor Gouchos, $20.40 (Dressbarn)
We absolutely love gouchos as a summer-to-fall transition piece since they look just as cute with flats as they do with tall boots.
Top it all off with a unique gold locket and you are full-blown Tina.
And the finishing touch…
You didn’t think we would forget the wand, do you? One of these handmade cherry wood wands work for all three of these Fantastic Beasts costumes.
