You Will Need The Following Items
Execution
Classic Top Layer
Begin with the striped long sleeve shirt—tuck it neatly into your skirt. Choose a slightly loose fit for an elegant, scholarly vibe reminiscent of 1920s Egypt expeditions.
Add the Skirt & Belt
Step into the knee-length suede skirt—aim for earthy tones like camel or tan. Cinch the look together with a brown leather belt at the waist, giving the silhouette structure and that proper British librarian-turned-adventurer edge.
Step into Adventure
Put on your white and brown Mary Jane pumps. They add a vintage touch while staying practical—Evie never lets fashion slow her down in tombs.
Accessories for Elegance
Add pearl drop earrings for a hint of classic femininity. Then wrap the long thin chiffon scarf loosely around your neck or let it drape from your shoulders—perfectly airy and dramatic for desert digs.
Wig & Hat
Put on the long wavy wig, styling it softly around your face to mimic Evie’s adventurous curls. Top it off with the sun hat tilted slightly back—it’s both practical for the sun and full of cinematic flair.

🧑🤝🧑 Group Costume Ideas
Make it a The Mummy crew costume! Here are some great matching roles:
Rick O’Connell
– White button-down, suspenders, khakis, boots, holsters, and desert swagger.
Imhotep
– Go full mummy with wrapped bandages or a regal ancient Egyptian priest look.
Ardeth Bay
– Black robes, face tattoos (temporary), and a turban or warrior scarf.
Jonathan Carnahan
– Tweed vest, bowtie, flask, and a clueless-yet-lovable vibe.
Anck-su-Namun
– Gold body paint, dramatic Egyptian eye makeup, and black-and-gold accessories.
Carry a prop book: Bonus points if it’s The Book of the Dead or The Book of Amun-Ra. Even an aged journal or an old library book will add character depth.
Smudge some faux dust on your shirt, hat, or face to look like you just crawled out of an ancient tomb. (Use light brown or beige eyeshadow for a clean but realistic effect.)
Tagline Ideas
“I… am a librarian.” 📚 (iconic intro line — use when someone asks about your costume)
“It’s just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book.”
(say with a wink — preferably while holding a cursed-looking prop)
“Oh, I’ve dreamt about this since I was a little girl.”
