You Will Need The Following Items
Veruca Salt is the very definition of “spoiled rotten.” The wealthy heiress from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory always gets what she wants — and if she doesn’t, she’ll scream until she does. Draped in her iconic red dress and white collar, Veruca stomps her Mary Janes through the chocolate factory demanding golden eggs, geese, and everything else that catches her eye. She’s dramatic, entitled, and perfectly theatrical — a character you love to hate.
Channeling Veruca means embracing your inner diva: pout, stomp, and declare “I want it now!” with unapologetic flair. Whether you’re parading through a party or posing for photos, this costume is your golden ticket to a night of over-the-top fun and sweet mischief.

Group Costume Ideas (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory)
Willy Wonka: Purple velvet coat, brown top hat, bow tie, and cane. Add white gloves and a playful smirk for that eccentric chocolatier charm.
Charlie Bucket: Simple tan jacket, blue sweater, and brown pants. Carry a golden ticket for the perfect finishing touch.
Veruca Salt: Red dress with white collar, black belt, white tights, and black Mary Jane flats. Blonde hair and a pouty expression complete the spoiled heiress look.
Violet Beauregarde: Blue tracksuit or blue outfit, bubblegum prop, and purple face paint for the “blueberry” transformation effect.
Augustus Gloop: Brown or beige outfit with suspenders, a fake chocolate bar, and a cheeky grin.
Mike Teevee: Cowboy hat, toy gun, and a mini TV remote for the tech-obsessed kid.
Oompa Loompa: Brown pants, white overalls with crisscross straps, green wig, and orange face paint.
Detail Precision: Choose a red dress with a white Peter Pan collar and black trim to perfectly mirror Veruca’s iconic outfit from the 1971 film. Add white tights and polished shoes for that spoiled rich-girl finish.
Face & Makeup: Keep makeup minimal but expressive — rosy cheeks, light lipstick, and a constant look of mock outrage will make the costume instantly recognizable.
