Fab Kids Superhero Outfit Ideas

If your child loves to soar through the air and play superhero, or if your child’s school has an upcoming superhero theme day, or if you have a superhero party coming up, read on for outfit inspiration!   Of course you can go the easy route and buy / wear a superhero costume.  There are plenty to choose from.  But if that seems too Halloween-y or generic for you or if you’d rather creatively transform what’s currently in your child’s closet with a few key accessories, the below examples should inspire you!  With a simple cape, mask and wrist piece set from somewhere like Everfan for instance, your son can go from blah to wow in a NY minute!

With the metallic trend being so hot right now why not start with a neutral dressy base and accessorize with some shiny add-ons?

Photo Shoot with Molly Magnuson and Jessah Amarante

My Instagram husband doesn’t understand or care for social media even when I try to convert him with stories of amazing collaborations that have happened through it like my most recent collab with famed kids photographer Molly Magnuson and the very talented Jessah Amarante from The Beauty Maiden.  Jessah contacted me wanting to work with little Juliet as her hair and makeup muse.  Photo shoot styling was done by me. Together we made a terrific team!  Just check out some of the pictures!

I styled Juliet with a vintage dress and some socks and shoes from a wholesaler contact of mine.  The headpiece was a crazy concoction from a very dear friend who created this for her Burning Man trip – who would ever have imagined that it would get another use from a 3 year old minifashionista!

We went for a Pocohontas, tribal look inspired from Jessah’s vision board featuring an enlarged feathered headpiece, similar to this one.

I have to say, these shots are pretty stunning!

For the next outfit, I went an entirely different direction.  I wanted simple and sweet, something less editorial and more timeless.

There’s something innocent about bare feet and this frou frou dress, I think.

For the next series, I styled it a little quirky, adding a touch of trendy nerdiness to it.

I’m a sucker for nerd glasses on kids.  I just wish I had a mini briefcase for her to carry and complete this look haha.

Stay tuned and subscribe for another photo shoot I just styled for 3 kids in NYC!  And let me know if you have any styling questions in the comments below.  I’m always available for collabs and styling jobs.  You can contact me at [email protected]
