In Mars Attacks!, the Martian Girl is a silent, sway-walking infiltrator sent to the White House in disguise. Her swirl-print dress and towering beehive give this costume its starting point. The adult Martian Girl dress uses red and pink swirls, long sleeves and a mermaid silhouette.
The Martian Girl Dress selection contains the dress only, made from polyester. Supply your own beehive wig, makeup and shoes when assembling the Martian Girl's disguise. Choose your Martian Girl dress from the women's range, which begins at XS and extends to 3XL. The sizing reference uses women's body measurements for the Martian Girl dress.
Red and Pink Swirls with a Mermaid Silhouette
Red heels are a suggested addition to the red-and-pink dress. If you use them, consider a full-length photograph that includes both the mermaid outline and your footwear. That framing lets the repeated red become a deliberate styling choice alongside the swirl print. You could also take a closer image of the red heels beside the printed skirt.
The long sleeves deserve space in that composition too. For a frontal pose, try keeping your arms slightly away from the skirt so the sleeves and lower outline can be seen separately. An arms-folded portrait is another optional approach when you want to emphasize the long sleeves around the swirl print.
Building the Martian Girl's Towering Beehive
A tall blonde beehive wig is the suggested hair direction. When planning a portrait, leave room above the hairstyle as well as around the shoulders of the long-sleeve dress. A vertical composition could keep the beehive and more of the red-and-pink swirls together in the same image.
Pale makeup is the other suggested styling detail. Consider it together with the blonde wig and swirl print when deciding how to present the character. For a closer portrait, include some of the dress below the face so the makeup remains connected to this Martian Girl outfit.
Following the Swirls from Detail to Side Profile
The Martian Girl dress appears in side, back and angled shots, plus a print close-up; you can also compare its separate frontal photo with the paired front-and-back view. Start with the frontal reference for the dress as a whole, then turn to the closer image to study the swirl pattern.
Use the side reference when considering a profile photograph with the beehive you add. The angled and back photographs can help you choose other views of the mermaid silhouette. For a small photo sequence, pair a portrait with a full-length view and a close-up devoted to the red and pink print.
A Silent, Swaying Entrance for Halloween
For Halloween, you could draw on the character's silent, sway-walking manner for a brief arrival or a posed scene. Keep that idea focused on the Martian Girl's disguise: the swirl-print dress, a beehive you provide and your chosen makeup. Her White House infiltrator role can supply the premise for that optional scene.
If friends are joining the photograph, give the Martian Girl a moment of stillness while they react to her arrival. Their reactions can provide the activity around her restrained pose, drawing attention to the infiltrator's quiet presence. The dress, beehive and pale makeup give everyone a clear set of character details to respond to.
