Title: Help make JQ Joffrey for Halloween
Post by: Joey Quinn on Sat, 03 October 2015, 16:43:47
So in the past I've been told I look a bit like Jack Gleeson.

For halloween this year I want to try and dress like Joffrey at his wedding.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I could pull it off? I really don't want to spend a ton but I don't want some party store Joffrey costume.

Funny enough I have a friend who looks a bit like her. Now I just need to convince Jess to coordinate costumes with me.

I need you to introduce me to her. Or pictures. Or something.


I love Natalie Dormer...  :-X

I'm not sure what to suggest to help, but I think this is a killer idea and if you pull it off you just might make the internet go bananas.

But in all seriousness, I would say go to a thrift store for the jacket. You will probably have to make the crown. Go to an interior design place or something to try and get some sort of off cut for the sash. Black skinny jeans for the trousers, and then the boots you may have to see if you have any friends who ride horses.

She looks like she had a stroke with that smile, but she's hot AF.

Stroke or no, yes please. She is great in The Tudors as well.

The jeans are a great idea, same with the sash.

I had thought about the thrift store but I've never seen anything like that in one.  :-X

Maybe a store that sells Renaissance or medieval clothing? It's usually pretty expensive though.
Here's a replica crown: http://www.valyriansteel.com/shop/swords/joffrey-crown/prod_57.html

I think all you need is just a crown and a make shift cloakish/cape.

But man, you really do look like Joffrey  :eek:
