You are fierce and fabulous and now you need to find the best drag queen costume to show off that personality in all its glory.

Your wig will make the look! Drag queens are known for their hairstyles. Many men don’t have the hair to use their natural locks as the whole hairstyle, so wigs are a very important part of the costume. The more flamboyant your hair, the more you will be noticed. If you are going to be using these wigs on a regular basis, you may want to consider purchasing custom-fit wigs. But in any case, make sure that the wig properly fits your head. Another tip that is important for your overall appearance is to make sure that your real hair does not show through around your wig.

Finding the perfect outfit is just as important as your hair. You should decide what persona or personality you want to convey and go from there. Do you want to be a celebrity look-a-like such as Cher, Bette Midler or your favorite star? Or do you want to create your very own individual character? Check out thrift stores and your family and friends closets. You might just find that old prom dress or bridesmaid’s dress is just the perfect start for your costume creation. Add some more beads, bangles and feathers and you are set. There are also many retailers and online costume sites, such as costumeexpress.com, that can give you inspiration and options as well.

Don’t forget the shoes and accessories. These are important parts of any outfit. The taller your shoes, the more length your body will appear to have. Make sure they accentuate the overall look of your gown. You probably don’t want to wear platform running shoes with that designer evening gown. Add jewelry — especially earrings — to finish off your look! The sparklier the better!
