After watching the movie “The Smurfs”, I’ve came to the conclusion that the SMURFS theme could be fun to be played at Halloween. If you’ve never chosen this theme before, then why not get inspired by the 2011 movie and turn yourself blue for the evening?

Have you seen the movie? Then, you already know what Smurfs look like. However, you need to know *exactly* how they look if you’re going to pull off this theme for a Halloween party.

Skin: The most distinctive thing about the Smurfs is their blue skin. They really are completely blue all over, which means hands, face, eyelids – everything!

Hat: The Smurfs all wear a white Smurf hat, which flops over at the front.

Pants: The Smurfs also wear white pants to match their hats. Any kind of white pants will do for this, but they must be 100% white!

Shoes: Are you noticing a pattern here? Everything the Smurfs wear is white! This means the shoes too. You want them to blend in with the white pants as much as possible, so again plain 100% white is the best way to go.

Shirt: The key thing about the Smurfs is that they don’t wear shirts – they just leave their blue skin on display.

For a long time, Smurfette was the only female Smurf in existence! If you want to dress as this truly unique character then the rules will change a little. Although Smurfette still has the classic blue skin, she wears a white dress instead of just the pants, and has blond flowing hair from underneath her Smurf hat.

For modern look,  Pepper‘s Award Winning Smurfette Costume could serve as your inspiration: 

…this is perfect if you could deal with blue body paint!

You may also decide you want to dress specifically as Papa Smurf – easily distinguished from the other Smurfs thanks to the fact that he wears a red hat and pants, rather than white, and has a bushy white beard.

There are a number of readymade Smurf costumes available online ranging from $25-$45. You can check out HollywoodToysandCostumes.com for price and details.
