Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland brought in 116 million dollars in the United States alone on its opening weekend. In addition to its box office success, Alice in Wonderland was extremely successful in the fashion department.
While watching this movie (all three times I saw it), I could not take my eyes off the incredible and inspirational clothes worn by the various characters. If you want to channel a little Alice in your daily life, here is some fashion inspiration from Wonderland:
Table of Contents
1. Alice
Alice, as most of you know, is the main character of the movie. Her style is feminine, but not overly feminine, and she is always wearing a beautiful shade of sky blue. Alice has a very effortless look that’s never rigid, because she tends to partake in adventures that require comfy clothes.
In addition, most of her dresses have a vintage feel, so a thrift shop would likely be a great place to find Alice-inspired clothes.

2. The Red Queen
The Red Queen is an evil queen with an abnormally large head. As her name implies, she adores the color red, perhaps because it rhymes with her favorite saying, “Off with their head!”
In addition to the color red, the Red Queen also adores the colors black and gold.
Her favorite symbol is the heart, and she tends to wear structured clothing with an almost gothic look. Therefore, a red suit or co-ord set is the perfect centerpiece for a Red Queen look.
Products: Pants – Mango, Blazer – Mango, Top – ZARA, Shoes – Mango, Bag – Unique Vintage, Sunglasses – H&M, Lipstick – H&M
3. The White Queen
The Red Queen’s sister, the White Queen, is a beautiful, good queen who adorns herself in all white. The only color on her entire body is her deep shade of burgundy lipstick.
Her style is ultra-feminine, with lots of pearls and lacy details. If you want to copy the White Queen’s look, something ladylike and whimsical is the best way to go.

4. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
The adorably funny twin brothers, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, keep the audience giggling throughout the movie.
Not only are the brothers humorous, but their fashion sense is also pretty interesting and easy to imitate. The twins always wear stripes, shorts and suspenders. Add a pop of color, and you’ve got their style!
Products: Top – H&M, Pants – H&M, Shoes – H&M, Bag – H&M, Hairband – H&M
5. The Mad Hatter
Ah, the Mad Hatter, my favorite character in the movie. The Mad Hatter is a crazy, eclectic hat maker with bright orange hair and lime green eyes.
He always looks colorful, even though his basic coat and pants are neutral. He achieves this by wearing bright eye makeup, a brightly colored scarf, and of course, his hat.
Nothing quite goes together with his look, which actually makes the look work. To recreate it, try finding pieces made from wacky patterns and bright colors that you wouldn’t normally pair together. This will make you stand out, as every part of the look make a statement.
I decided to switch things up here and forgo the hat for some on-trend hair accessories, the 2019 way to accessorize your head.
Products: Shoes – Modcloth, Top – Modcloth, Pants – & Other Stories, Bag- Zara, Hair Clips – Zara, Ring – ASOS, Watch – H&M

My two favorite are The Red Queen and Alice, although I really really like all of them! I loved the movie, it was very inspiring. And Calli, this post is so great, I really like your style and I would love to see the outfits you could put together for other Disney movies! That would be so cool!!
Calli this post is amazing! You did such a great job with it! You have suchhhh great style! Keep the articles coming, I’ll be a faithful reader!
Alice has always been my favourite character from the book, but love the white queen look. Pretty white dresses and red lipstick is a must!
Just been to this website as suggested by another reader, they have loads more Alice in Wonderland jewellery.

Absolutely amazing! I LOVE the Mad Hatter look 😀 great post!
This post was amazing! I loved the boots you used for Alice’s outfit, and theTweedle Dee and Dum outfit was awesome! Best article ever, hands down
I’ve literally just got back from an Alice in Wonderland charity tea party where I went as the Mad Hatter. The only thing I bought/made specially was a top hat, for the rest of my outfit I wore a really colourful dress, tights and lots of jewelry. If I could afford it then I would’ve used bright make up too, but the point is that I think that one way of getting a mad hatter look is by making your outfit really busy… then just let the hat take over!
This is amazing! I love everything you have on here. I especially love the Mad Hatter outfit. And the White Queen…this is another note to myself that I /need/ to go buy a little white dress someime in the near future.
Fun costume outfits, although I think the White Queen’s look could actually be worn casually.
Also, I was browsing at jewelry the other day and these are some really sweet and vintage looking jewelry inspired by Lewis Carrol’s story!

Best Post Ever Darling!
So fabulous! I loved all the looks, very different and stunning each.
I loved these, great job! Can you maybe do one on the white rabbit as well? He was so adorable in the movie!
I loved this movie! For the fashion, my favourite dress was the one Alice wears when she is at the Red Queen’s Castle.
I really liked the outfit you came up for Alice and the Mad Hatter.
I DEFINATELY want that Drink Me necklace! The outfits are adorable too.
I absolutely LOVE this post! I have been a fan of CF for almost a year and this is the first post I have felt compelled to comment on! The pieces that you picked are truly beautiful and make me want to go out and find my own versions of these unique outfits – plus I just have to see the movie now! From the structured jackets to the feminine dresses I love it! Thanks for the amazing post!!
