For a deadly sin costume, choose a short red dress or seductive lingerie. Stiletto shoes and fishnet stockings complete the attractive look. Also pay attention to the makeup. Red and black tones also predominate there. Choose a bright red lipstick andAugen-Make-up mit Smokey-Eyes. A red feather boa would be a fun accessory that could cover your arms and shoulders when you feel cold or uncomfortable.

To act as the cardinal sin of “Pride”, you can wear clothes in a dark shade of purple and gold accessories. Make an accent with a sash to show that you are the most beautiful in the world. Buy gold medallions and wear them on your chest. For your hairstyle, you can choose a shiny crown or hair chains with rhinestones. In your hand you can carry a scepter, a plastic royal chalice or a small hand mirror.

Envy is known as a green-eyed monster, so you need to focus on the green color combined with black. Think green dress with black belt, green contact lenses and snakeskin accents. For your hairstyle, you can use a green ribbon or black net pulled over the face. If you don't like dressing up, you can just put more emphasis on the make-up and do something creative on your face. At carnival it is allowed to exaggerate.

You need accessories that would be associated with food if you want to dress up like the deadly sin of “gluttony.” Find clothing with pictures of food or old T-shirts that you could “decorate” with food stains. Jewelry with candy designs, hats, hair clips and other accessories found in costume shops fit perfectly with this costume. If all pink is too much for you, choose a pleasant brown tone like a delicious chocolate cake.
This costume idea requires you to look angry like a serial killer. The main color is, of course, red. Choose a red wig and outfit made of black leather or latex. Carry a plastic murder weapon in your hand. Fake blood might be useful. Spiked jewelry, chains and bloody gloves too. Feathers in the hair or a red hair band are the perfect hair accessories for this costume. Battle scars and fake tattoos will complement the look.
Anyone who has decided to represent laziness with their carnival costume can appear in comfortable pajamas. Pick out your favorite pair of pajamas, a robe, or sweatpants and put on a pair of comfortable bunny slippers. The best part about this costume is that you don't have to worry about your hairstyle or makeup. Tousled hair and a sleepy expression are perfect for this look.
If you want to stick to the elegant woman version, check out the pictures here. The outfit, all gray, conveys a feeling of ignorance and dullness of heart. White feathers symbolize lightness of spirit.

To create a “Greed” costume, look for unusual clothing and accessories that symbolize luxury and wealth. Women can wear faux fur scarves, faux diamond necklaces and mid-length silk gloves. Hands full of play money or jewelry would be a great idea. Curl your hair and give yourself a half-up hairstyle. Then attach a few chains of gold beads or sequins using hair clips. Glue gold leaf pieces to your cheek as an accent.
