Do you want to wear a King Tut Plus Size Costume this Halloween? You can dress as King Tut in at least two ways that I can think of right off the bat. First, it just depends on just how much work you want to put into your halloween costume.

The first, and the simplest King Tut Costume, involves wearing one of those bald wigs. I am talking about the things you wear over your head, which cover your hair, and make you seem totally bald. The next thing is to use black eyeliner and extend it along the sides of the eye.

For this King Tut outfit, you need to wear a one piece tunic, a golden belt and leather slippers. However, if you choose to dress this way and don’t go any further, most people wouldn’t even know that you are dressed as King Tut and would probably mistake you for a slave of that era.

As for the main King Tut Costume guys, wear a white tunic and dress it up with a few more accessories – different kinds of jewelry and belts would do fine. A golden belt tied around your waist or a multicolored egyptian belt or collar would be the perfect addition to any King Tut costume.

The next method is to dress up as a King Tut in the costume of a King Tut mummy. Very unique! And if you were going to be a King Tut mummy you might want to make your outfit look more mummy like by wrapping yourself up in loose bands of fabric over your white tunic (just to make sure that you don’t expose too much of yourself by mistake).

And you’ll probably want to add a few accessories to dress up your King Tut Plus Size Costume too. The King Tut artifact that is most well known is the actual King Tut mask. The real mask is golden and black in color and has a long goatee. People would instantly realize that you are dressed as King Tut if you wore something to this. And you can easily purchase this headpiece from almost any costume store near you. Just ask for the King Tut headpiece.

For the footwear, you can choose to wear plain leather sandals or go for the roman type shoes. Roman shoes are the ones which are netted and lace up to your knees. Roman shoes are easily available since many women wear them even today on a daily basis too. However, choose sandals that are comfortable to wear. Either type would make a good choice so I would suggest that you go for leather flip flop type sandals if you don’t already own a pair of the roman type shoes.

And there are certain artifacts which you could carry with you to add to your King Tut costume to make it even more authentic. One you might want to check into is an Egyptian sacrificial dagger.

But if you decide to carry this I would suggest you carry the dagger with great care so that you don’t accidentally stab someone with it. It is uniquely shaped – kind of like a cross with dual wavy horns near the top. It is golden in color with blue gems. You could buy this in the metallic, plastic finish and believe me it will certainly grab the attention of all the people at the Halloween parties you attend.

Don’t want to carry a dagger all night but would like some kind of egyptian artifact to use with your King Tut Plus Size costume? Then how about a staff? These are also often seen carried by the royalty of this age and are very attention grabbing. In a way it may be much lighter to carry than a dagger but a staff is much, much longer in length than the dagger. But they both look equally good.

All right now, we’re getting to the end. As for the facial makeup, powder your face to even out your complexion and then apply a little red colored rouge. Do not forget to use black eyeliner to outline your eyes, darken your eyebrows, eyelashes and also to extend it to the corner of your eyes.

And there, you go – you are good to go and ready to attend the Halloween party of your choice dressed as the man himself, King Tut. Overall, a pretty easy costume to dress up in but also one of the most recognizeable Halloween costumes on the planet. Have fun dressed up in your King Tut Plus Size costume and happy halloween.

Have you ever wondered how to make a King Tut costume for Halloween other some other event? Actually, there are at least three ways I can think of to dress up as King Tut that I’ll share here with you now.

The first one is the simplest of all the methods and involves wearing eyeliner along the sides of the eyes and tapering it at off the ends. You could purchase of one those bald head patches that you see in stores too – you know, the ones that you can wear and it seems as if you are now totally bald.

King Tut had a nice complexion, I’ll bet, so you’ll want to make sure that you put quite a bit of makeup on to even out your complexion. And as for the dress, it could be as simple as a long overflowing white colored shirt held by a colored belt around the waist. And as for the footwear, if you are making your own King Tut costume, you can wear leather sandals which are available at almost any shoe store.

Now this method of dressing may be the simplest, but it’s not the best by any means. If you don’t pay anymore more attention to detail than this most people might not even realize that you are supposed to be dressed up as King Tut – in fact, they may even think you’re a slave or something.

The second way to make a King Tut costume requires a lot more effort and also requires you to purchase certain artifacts. The first thing that you will have to purchase is a King Tut mask, or at least a King Tut head dress. His iconic mask is the one thing that is most popular amongst people and it will make people instantly know that you are dressed up as King Tut. You can always go to a costume store and ask for a King Tut mask. It is available at almost every costume rental store, online and off.

There are at least two styles of headdress that you have an option to buy. One is the Egyptian mask which looks more like a half mask you’d wear at at Mardi Gras celebration. Now this one can be used but I still wouldn’t recommend it even though many people go for this option if you really want to look the part of King Tut. The other option is the King Tut headpiece with the overflowing sides down over your shoulders, more in style like that the Bedouins wear or like the one that is often seen in many of the King Tut memorial shows that are touring the world now.

Sometimes you also get the King Tut headdress along with the cap attached with the mask. So if you have the option of a mask with an attached headpiece and one without, then I would certainly go for the one without the face mask. This makes your King Tut costume much more authentic and also gives it a more realistic look.

For the clothes, you may wear a long shirt that comes down to your knees or choose a floor length one if you like and then hold it with a belt around your waist. The shirt can be white in color and the belt a golden color – metallic would be a nice touch. Instead of a belt you can also just use a long ribbon to tie around the waist. As for the footwear, wear leather sandals or one of those tall laced shoes that many european women wear. Your main task of dressing up in a King Tut Costume is now almost over.

You can also carry some kind of artifact such as a wooden staff with an Egyptian cross or a snake at the top.  If you remember to buy one that is made of plastic it will be cheaper and not so heavy to carry too. You can easily ask for “King Tut staff made of plastic” at any costume store. That’s it – you are now done.

Lastly, let me quickly tell you how I dressed up last Halloween in my own King Tut Costume before we close. Now my King Tut Costume was a little different from the second method as discussed above. Instead of the typical iconic King Tut mask, I used a mummy mask but the overall look remained the same – except for the mask.

This one little change to my King Tut Costume not only made people instantly guess that I was dressed as King Tut but it was also creepy and showed a little more imagination on my part (since I didn’t want to dress up exactly as every other King Tut on the block did).

Believe it or not, I also won the prize last Halloween for the best costume at the costume party I went to.

So, you can now choose from any of these three King Tut Costume dressing styles  as listed above for inspiration if you’ve decided that you want to be dear old King Tut this year. And I am sure that by following any of the options above that you’ll do a good job and make a good impression in your own King Tut Costume.
