Galadriel Cosplay Costume

Updated for 2017

Galadriel is a female fictional character from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings books and the films based off of them. Galadriel is a royal elf, considered to be the greatest of all the Elven women. She was very tall, with long golden hair, a very fair complexion, and was known for always wearing white, giving her the nickname of the “White Lady.” For female fans of the Lord of the Rings, there aren’t too many female characters to choose from when it comes to dressing up for Halloween or Cosplay as your favorite Tolkien character, which makes Galadriel a very popular choice. Here are some ideas for putting together a great Galadriel cosplay costume.

Let’s Make: Galadriel’s Crown

This is a step by step craft tutorial that uses a foam head, pen, strips of Worbla, loose glitter, wood glue, heat gun, paint brush, glitter nail polish, gold and silver paint, and silver metallic spray paint. During the video, the designer uses a photo of Galadriel’s headpiece to construct it on the Styrofoam head. After the crown is constructed, she removes it from the foam head and coats it with a layer of wood glue and allows it to dry. As she continues, she adds paint, sparkly nail polish, and glitter. The completed project is a very realistic and authentic looking Elven Queen crown that will make the perfect accent for your costume.
