Dressing as characters from C.S. Lewis’s fantasy series for the autumnal holiday involves replicating the iconic appearances of figures like Aslan, Lucy Pevensie, or the White Witch. These ensembles typically consist of tailored garments, faux fur accents, and prop weaponry or accessories evocative of the Narnian world. Examples include a lion’s mane and golden robe for Aslan or a regal gown and ice crown for the White Witch.
Participation in this form of costuming allows individuals to express their appreciation for the literary work, fostering a sense of community among fans. The practice provides an outlet for creative expression, promoting imaginative recreation of the source material’s visual elements. Historically, book-inspired costumes have been a recurring theme during the holiday, providing an alternative to traditional scary or pop-culture themes.
