Ten easy and creative costume ideas for Carnival 2020 that you can make at home, spending little and oozing originality.
Carnival 2020 is less than a month away and you still have no idea what you’re going to wear to rock the blocks? Well, don’t be like that! Because we, from Women’s Area, came to save you!
Firstly, no one can stand unicorn costumes anymore and, secondly, to be honest, everyone knows that mermaids stayed there in 2017, right? Therefore, in advance, we brought you ten easy and different ideas to help you shine brightly this Carnival 2020.
Firstly, for this, of course glitter cannot be missing! So, you can also take out that tulle skirt from your wardrobe, the bodysuit or crop top, and even those basic black shorts, which can also be useful! In addition, also set aside ten reais to spend at the stationery store because there will be a lot of DIY!!
Anyway, remember, here we are just giving you inspiration, but you – always – can get creative and adapt here and there, with what you have in your wardrobe.
Costumes for Carnival 2020
Rainbow
Do you want to be cute and militant? Then our first selection is the right costume for you! Because in addition to being all colorful and the face of carnival joy, it is also the symbol of representation of the LGBTQI community. You can play without fear, it’s a sure shot! You can buy or make a tulle skirt and a white top (representing the clouds). And, of course, the tiara.
We found a DIY video for you to make your own:
Carmen Miranda
The muse that conquered the world in the 30s returned with everything for the 2020 carnival, but this time in styling. The singer marked her generation with her characteristic looks featuring lots of glitter, sequins and loads of accessories.
Therefore, to imitate the “woman with fruit on her head”, you will basically need, of course, fruit on her head, a very colorful outfit and throw on necklaces and bracelets and of course, bathe in glitter, because this is the spirit of carnival 2020 and all the previous ones…
Here’s an easy DIY for you to put together your own fruit turban.
Lara croft
Okay, this was voted the easiest fantasy ever! In contrast to the previous ones, to imitate Angelina Jolie’s great character, in short, all you need is a tank top, black shorts, boots and, to complement it, just get that toy gun from your little brother/cousin/nephew.
But if no one you know has one, just go to the fair because there is always a stall with toys like this, very cheap, or you can even buy them online.
Sun and moon
This is for those who want to get together with their BFF! The Sun & Moon costume is beautiful, creative and best of all, with lots of glitter! Anyway, even if you don’t have any gold clothes, basically just make your tiara, put on a black or white outfit, for example, and, obviously, give it glitter (gold for the sun and silver for the moon).
Here we have two videos of Bahh Ribeiro teaching how to make the tiara.
Frida Khalo
The feminist and revolutionary artist of the 20th century inspired another from the 21st century and now it’s your turn to be mirrored! The printed and colorful clothes, the flowers on the head and, above all, the marked eyebrows are characteristic of the Mexican painter and, therefore, are all you need to represent her.
Gladis Vivane made a video showing how to make the tiara.
Crazy of the Signs
This one is for the girls who can’t spend fifteen minutes without bringing astrology into the middle of the conversation. And the best part, you can do it alone or in a group!!
The tiarinha, as always, is the flagship of the costume. For the rest, you can improvise with a tulle skirt or shorts, and on top, a bodysuit or croppet in the color you prefer.
For the tiara you will need:
- A tiara
- Fine copper
- EVA paper
- Scissors
- hot glue
The easiest way is, first, to print a template of your preferred sign (if it’s a phrase, it’s best to print it too, so you don’t run the risk of it getting crooked). So, just draw the mold on top of the EVA, cut it out and glue it to the wire with hot glue. This way, now just wait a few minutes for it to dry, stick it on the tiara and voila: Finally, your costume for Carnival 2020 is ready!
The fairly Oddparents
This is that fantasy with a taste of nostalgia! And, first of all, who doesn’t miss lying on the couch watching Fairly OddParents and eating danoninho, huh? And you can even match with your BFF or your boy! Besides being easy, it’s super fun! You can basically make the tiara following the same step by step as the previous one! Just print the altar boy template and play with the green and pink!
Watermelon and pineapple
One more to do with BFF! This is that easy costume but you’ll hardly see anyone wearing it on a date! Creative and different! So, all you need is a green skirt and a red or yellow blouse! You can also draw the seeds with a permanent marker or, of course, cut them out of EVA paper and glue them to the fabric.
And, of course, we also found a video for you to learn how to make your own pineapple stem.
Flamingo
All tropical and original, so the flamingo idea is for those who really want to step out of the box and innovate this Carnival 2020! In this case, DIY is not that simple. But it’s still not a big deal either, and it’s so beautiful that it’s worth any effort! Furthermore, in fact, you can also enhance the look with a ribbon skirt. So you can prepare yourself because she’s so wonderful that she’s clearly going to be just you – a little pink dot – on the pad.
Priscila Paes shows you the exact step-by-step instructions for assembling the tiara and Carol Mamprin even taught you a beautiful make-up for you to rock even more!

And, finally, we selected that costume for those who don’t want to miss the chance to flirt, because the sign says it all! And in fact, if you want to collect lots of stories this Carnival 2020, the best thing is that you won’t even have to open your mouth to send that message to the boys! So, the girls from the Dupla Carioca blog made a very detailed post showing how to make your costume at home! Check it out here.
So, we hope to have helped and, in short, inspired you to produce a much more fun, – cheap – and creative carnival. But if, by chance or even laziness, you’re not in the mood to invest in any of these, remember that the classic cat and devil costume is always there, a five-real tiara away and that, you It’s always beautiful!
So don’t forget: Always have fun, drink in moderation and glitter above all!
