Ramalama costume ideas

The classic Ramalama costume is a black-and-silver striped sequin gown, long violet satin gloves and a big red wig. For the Halloween version, anything with striking shoes and a dramatic full-length silhouette works, because the video shows your feet first and the full look on the beat.

What is the original Ramalama costume?

  • Dress: fitted, floor-length gown in black and silver stripes or sequins.
  • Gloves: long violet or purple satin opera gloves, past the elbow.
  • Hair: voluminous bright red wig with a heavy fringe.
  • Shoes: black heeled boots, since they are on screen for the first five seconds.

What makes a costume work for the reveal?

  1. Interesting shoes. Five seconds of feet need to be worth watching.
  2. Contrast top to bottom. The reveal lands harder when the face or headpiece is a surprise.
  3. A strong silhouette. Capes, wings and big wigs read clearly in a 9:16 frame.
