Although sometimes people think of being Cleopatra on Halloween or a costume party as not being much more than wearing a toga, in reality it's much different than that, and if you want to present yourself as queen of the Nile, you definitely have to come dresses as more than a bed sheet.

You want to add some mystery, beauty glamor and royalty to your look as Cleopatra is thought of in all these ways.

And even if you decide to make your own Cleopatra costume from a white type of sheet foundation, there are tons of simple and easy things to do to make it look really nice. You can add all sorts of shiny things like sequins and gold ribbon, gold arm bands, and other types of accessories to make you look like a queen yourself.

Another fun part of dressing like Cleopatra, is you can always have your husband, boyfriend or some other male friend dress up as an Egyptian figure of that day such as a Pharoah like Ramses, King Tut, or some other historical character.

Just be sure to include color schemes like gold and black as part of the style of your costume or look, as it is identified readily as part of that historical period.  

This first photo of Cleopatra costumes is to give you a good idea of the styles out there and the colors employed to present yourself as the Egyptian queen.

While not all of it is black and gold, those colors are important, and even if you go a different route, you can see the designs and colors which make up dressing up and the Nile Queen.

Even with this traditional Cleopatra look, you see how fun it is to dress up like her. Notice all the little gold edition on her calves, arms and head. Great Cleopatra costume.
