what should be my characters' costumes for the dance?
In my story, I am putting a masquerade ball on Halloween night. I have two main characters that are basically going to fall in love later in the story but i want it to be like a Cinderella moment.
My main character, Jasmine, she has dark skin (latina skin) and dark brown hair. I don’t want her to dress like Cinderella or anything because that story is too old. She owns a crescent moon medallion that she never takes off.
My other character, Logan, he has light skin and dark black hair. He is a mysterious person but the sight of Jasmine makes his heart beat a lot.
Here are my choices:
Jasmine: a gypsy, greek goddess, or just a plain blue dress
Logan: Zorro, Aragron costume, pirate, or romeo
That’s all i have. Pick one of them or tell me what you have in mind.

Matrix sorta costume, or yes tuxedo and a long velvet red dress, logan doesn’t sound that mysterious (my opinion) but it’s halloween so maybe she could dress up in a long red velvet dress or a black dress, he could have a overcoat and jacket.

Jasmine: I think that she should wear something silvery & red. But if I had to pick one of your choices, I would pick the plain blue dress.
Logan: Romeo, but the Romeo from the movie with Leonardo DeCaprio and Claire Danes. You can find pictures on Google. You could make Jasmine look like Juliet if you wanted too.
Hope this helps :]

jasmine: a silver sparkly dress
logan: a suit like james bond
How about Romeo and Juliet: but a total accident?
i see jasmine in a long red dress with like a gorgeous yet simple mask with intricate beading but still simple
and logan yea ^^ james bond suit with plain black mask (or maybe like a phantom of the opera kind of thing)
Just going off what you said… have you thought about a moon goddess? It’d kinda be a play off her necklace. She could wear a silver dress or even blue, whichever you preferred. I think silver would contrast well w/her skin color… or even a light shimmery blue. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the music video for Taylor Swift’s "Teardrops on my Guitar", but in one scene, she has what looks like rhinestones along the side of her face to represent tears. Your character could do something like that to represent stars or even use star-shaped rhinestones. IF you plan on using masquerade masks, you could use a crescent shaped mask with glitter and stars, just to play off the sky-theme. As for him, I tend to see something along the lines of Romeo or Medieval costumes. It’s just a great, classic masquerade look for guys. Best of luck with your story!!
