Portman Makes Black Swan Soar
The dark thriller, Black Swan, is just as much about the psychological stress as it is regarding the beautiful costumes. While the plot concentrates on the young ballet dancer, Nina, who is on the verge of a break via or break down, her outstanding dancing halloween costumes almost take a starring role. With the popularity of this flick (Oscar buzz, we hear) and the genuine gorgeousness of the ballet outfits, you can be fairly confident which women’s halloween costumes styled once Dark Swan are going to be all the rage this coming masquerade and Trick or treat seasons.
The signature dancing outfit that is featured in all the motion picture trailers and posters is the dark ensemble put on by Nina (Natalie Portman). Styled to artistically resemble a black swan, this women halloween costume is adorned with a dark bodice embellished with lots of sequins and a baroque style ballet tutu which sticks geometrically out from layers and levels of black tulle.
Added to this fancy dress are the requisite tights with a seam in the back, ballet flats (toe shoes if you dare) and a dark precious metal tiara with black diamonds glowing on the crown. If you are tying to replicate that glimpse for your own Hallow’s eve outfit, pull your hair back into a smooth bun worn low on the nape. Quite pale, pale make-up addresses the encounter and décolleté, whilst elaborate encounter painting surrounds the eyes and forearms to look like a swan’s feathers. The last touch is darkish red lips.
While there is no formally certified Black Swan fancy dress out in the stores, women and women who need to dress up as this distraught dancer can make do with any of the dark ballerina costumes discovered online. Or, a straightforward black leotard and tutu will pickup the look as well. Also men can go out in a Black Swan costume if they so desire!
