Kipi - Alice from Alice in Wonderland



"Curiouser and curiouser!"

Alice is main character of Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and iconic piece of English literature that although first published in 1865 is still influential today. There have been many adaptations, most famously Disney's 1951 cartoon film, and more recently Tim Burton's more gothic take on the story.


The image of a blonde Alice in a pretty blue dress is instantly recognisable. It's popular in cosplay and in the lolita fashion where Alice themed motifs and prints are common.

Cosplay by Kipi.
The dress is so cute, and the ruffle details make it a little different to the standard blue dress and white apron.

A perfect Alice!

Unknown - The Red Queen Iracebeth from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

fullcosplay:

COSPLAY: the Red Queen / Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

"Off with their heads!"

The Red Queen (portrayed by Helena Bohem Carter) is ruler of Underland, Wonderland's true name. Her real name is Iracebeth. She stole the throne from her sister The White Queen, who she is very jealous of to the point of extreme paranoia.

In the Tim Burton's 2010 film "Alice in Wonderland" Helena Bohem Carter's head was digitally increased to 3 times it's natural size.

Lovely cosplay (cosplayer unknown). It must be difficult to avoid the bold make up looking like a clown's face paint, but this cosplayer manages it.

Dismaldreary - Mirana from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland


Mirana is the White Queen, portrayed by Anne Hathaway, who in Tim Burton's 2010 film - Alice in Wonderland has had her place as ruler of Underland (Wonderland's true name) stolen by her sister the Red Queen, who then banished Mirana from Underland. Having vowed to never harm another living being she is powerless to act and awaits a champion to free Underland from the Red Queen.

It is hinted that despite her kindness she can be as terrifying and cruel as her sister, but fearful that this is her true nature does her best to control it.

A gorgeous cosplay by Dismaldreary that captures Mirana's elegance and grace, plus all the details in her intricate costume.
