Hunger Games Katniss Costume for 2014

katniss-costumes

We are excited to actually be seeing real Hunger Games costumes this year. Previously we saw a few items here and there that we could turn into a costume. But now costume stores are actually making them almost identical to the ones in the movie!

Here’s a brand new one from Costume Supercenter

Katniss 2014 Costume
Women’s Midnight Huntress Costume

Description: Let the games begin with the Women’s Midnight Huntress Costume. Included in this set are a black dress, belt, satchel and black cuffs with lame trim. The faux leather mini dress has ¾ length sleeves, lame trim and layered epaulettes on the shoulder. The bodice features a silver mesh-type design. The belt and satchel are both black with lame trim. You will be a formidable hunter in this outfit. This versatile garb can be a part of a number of costumes. Leggings, toy bow, arrow and boots are not included but we have a number of complementing items in our accessories section.

They also have this available in a Tween version.

If you are looking for a different kids or Tween Katniss costume, they also have this one. Beware! It is selling out really fast because it is from last year. If you want it, you had better grab it!

Essential Katniss Costume Items

Having read the books and seen the Hunger Games movie, you know that there are a number of different things that you could pull together to create the perfect Katniss Halloween Costume. Since there are not any Katniss costumes on the market this year, you are going to be on your own to figure one out. You likely already have a few of the pieces that you will need in your wardrobe–dark boots, dark pants, dark jacket. But there are three parts of the Katniss costume that are essential that you likely do not have: the wig, the bow and arrow, and a Mockingjay pin. Luckily, we have found a couple of pretty reasonable options.

Our choice for the Katniss Wig comes from CostumeSupercenter.com.

Katniss Wig

It’s the perfect length and even has bangs like hers.

Assuming that you already have Katniss hair (which a few of you might), the second item you need is your Katniss bow and arrow set. I’ve seen some of these selling for upwards of $100 online, but you do not need those unless you really plan on shooting people (which I hope you do not).

Hunger Games Katniss Bow and Arrow

You can get this set at BuyCostumes.com and it has great ratings. Combine the wig and bow and arrow set to save on shipping charges. Plus, they usually have a coupon on their website. (If they do not have a coupon on their website, you can check out the Sunshine Rewards BuyCostumes coupons).

Here’s another great option for a bow and arrow from Costume Supercenter that you can actually use (plus check out our Costume Supercenter coupons and deals)!

This accessory features a bow and two suction cup toy arrows. The bow measures 19 inches long and each arrow is 9.5 inches long. This toy gives a great effect to the look and is a safe toy.

The third and obviously most important part of any Katniss costume is the Mockingjay pin. You can get those on Amazon for sure and hopefully for awhile still at Hot Topic, although those types of merchandise tend to sell out there and not get replaced.

We think it’s worth it to spend a little on the wig, bow and arrow, and Mockingjay pin, especially if you already have some clothes that will fit the bill. Katniss and the Hunger Games characters are definitely going to be hot Halloween costumes this year!

Katniss Wig from Hunger Games

People are already looking for Hunger Games costumes, and although there are not any official ones yet, we have found some ways to create them. The easiest way to style your hair like Katniss is to wear it in a long braid to the side. However, most of us are not lucky enough to have that kind of long hair! If you want to get the Katniss look of the long side braid with bangs that come down into your eyes, we recommend this wig from CostumeSupercenter:

For less than $20, it’s a great addition to your costume. Check out the image below from the movie and tell us what you think:

Get the Boots Katniss Wore in Hunger Games

Katniss Boots

Whether you are putting together a Katniss costume or just trying to get her style, you will love this pair of boots like those that Katniss wore in the movie. The Melissa Tall Lace boots that Katniss wore before entering the arena were produced by the Frye, Co. and retail for around $400. Yikes! The feature lacing up the front but also a zip-up entry. You can get them various places online including Amazon.

If $400 is a little too much for you, we did find some other boots that are pretty similar that would work as well. Here are a few of our favorites:
