When James Cameron's movie Avatar hit the theatres in 2009, no one could predict how successful it would be. Now one of the highest grossing films in history, Avatar won three Oscar awards for achievements in visual effects, cinematography and art direction. No wonder, then, that people around the world are clamoring to find avatar costumes for adults.
The basic costume for almost all the Avatar costumes is that of Neytiri, the Princess of the Omaticaya Clan. Her costume includes just the basics: a full body suit which is covered in the characteristic stripes of her people with a tail. She wears an apron over her groin, but is otherwise "naked". Some kits include arm gauntlets, and beaded bracelet and arm bands. Others do not.
Neytiri falls in love with the Avatar of the crippled marine, Jake Sully. His Avatar costume is easily constructed, but you can find kits which contain an expedition jacket, pants and a mask. Unfortunately, if you want to make certain that your Avatar of Jake is complete, you will not only need a tail, you will also need a blue turtleneck shirt which you can paint with your stripes on it, and some gauntlets.
For those women who do not want to draw too much attention to their physique, they may want to go as Dr. Grace Augustine. To the base costume for Neytiri, add a pink or white tank top, a pair of cropped blue jeans and a necklace with a large pendant attached.
Real fans of this movie may simply want to dress up as themselves as a Na'vi warrior or clan member. A basic Neytiri costume can be a good beginning, but by adding some personal elements, you can make it yours. Add special feathers, paint your face in cool designs, wear novelty beaded necklaces, arm bands and bracelets.
Masks make for easy preparation for the role. However, if you want to make the designs on your Avatar or Na'vi unique, it is best to do your own body and face painting. You will need high quality face paints, and use a blue for your base color, which you will apply to your shoulders, neck, face, and ears. Add dark stripes and contrasting white dots in between to create your design.
If you already have long hair, you can take some time to braid it and put beads and feathers into it to achieve the full Na'vi hair style. Alternately, you can purchase a good quality wig that already is braided or that you can have braided for your costume. Now you are ready for the party in your adult avatar costumes.
