Disney Villain: Costume & Eye Colour Ideas

Disney Villains are the characters we love to hate. This bunch of baddies is fun to cosplay as well as watch on screen and our talented affiliates have been doing just that! Whether you love to take inspiration from more recent live action remakes of these Disney characters such as Cruella and Jafar or you prefer to stick to their original 2D animated versions e.g. The Evil Queen or Hades, there are plenty of opportunities to add some Disney Villain eyes to your next cosplay. 

Many of the early Disney villains are depicted with small black pupils in a large white eye so if you want to get this classic villain style then try out a pair of our White Halloween or White Mini Sclera Coloured Contact Lenses. 

As Disney Villains have made it onto the live action scene and animation has become more advanced so too has the colour of Disney Villains’ eyes so make sure to match your eye colour to your character for your next Disney Villain costume. Check out our affiliates’ Disney Villain costume ideas to see the many ways that you can create your own Disney Villain cosplay.

With all the attention on Cruella, we simply had to start off by sharing this 101 Dalmatians Cruella costume. The original Cruella character from the 1961 Disney animation has the classic white eyes with black pupil style. @r.m.mua has taken inspiration from this to create her awesome 101 Dalmatians look with a pair of White Halloween Coloured Contact Lenses. 

In contrast, Emma Stone’s Cruella has bright green eyes, like many other Disney Villains. This is an interesting choice by Disney since green eyes are actually one of the rarest eye colours but are frequently used for their villains. @summer.stockwell has given her Cruella Deville green eyes using our Green Mystic contact lenses. Whether you want to add natural eyes or a costume design to your Cruella Deville costume, there are plenty of styles of Green Contact Lenses available.

Cruella’s wild eyes are accentuated by her heavy eye makeup and in the original 101 Dalmatians movie, they even change colour when she is in a rage! Yzma Emperor’s New Groove is also presented with heavy eye makeup in a bright shade of purple so make sure you have got plenty of purple colours on hand if you are creating your own Yzma costume. Her insanely long eyelashes also accentuate the look of her eyes which are the classic white eyes with black pupil combo. @artbybmazz has taken the purple theme one step further by giving Yzma bright purple skin! In contrast, @wink818’s Yzma cosplay has a spooky twist thanks to her skeletal makeup and grey eyes.

Choosing Cosplay Contact Lenses For Disney Villain Cosplay

The original versions of Hades and Maleficent have a yellow tint to the whites of their eyes. However, cosplayers love to reflect Disney Hades’ bright blue flame hair in their eyes with the help of some costume blue coloured contact lenses. Styles such as Blue Ice Walker are particularly popular for creating this effect for your Hades costume. Check out @fx_freak and @queenofluna cosplaying as Hades – so cool!

In the live action Maleficent film, Angelina Jolie has green eyes so if you want to base your cosplay on this version of Maleficent eye colour then make sure to choose a vibrant green pair of lenses. As you can see @courtneyleighhollins has chosen a style from our natural range whereas @ladyparadoxx has enhanced her look with a pair of costume green coloured contact lenses.

@fx_freak and @r.m.mua have chosen different eye colours for their Ursula looks. @r.m.mua has used our Blue Elf Coloured Contact Lenses with her Ursula costume which gives that wide-eyed cartoon style while adding a little touch of colour. In contrast, @fx_freak has used Green Werewolf for a classic Disney Villain colour. Similarly to many of the other early Disney Villains, Ursula is often shown with large whites of the eyes and small pupils.

In the original Disney animated version of The Lion King, Scar is depicted with a green iris and yellow eye. @r.m.mua has created a whole Lion King themed-look and we are totally in love with it! She has taken inspiration from Scar’s eye colour by using the Yellow Avatar Coloured Contacts style. R.m.mua has painted her face to look like Scar complete with one of his evil Hyena minions and on her chest has included Zazu, Rafiki, Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba. The detail in those characters is so amazing! 

In contrast, fx_freak has taken the green theme and used Green Werewolf Coloured Contact Lenses to add to her Scar costume. She has even fluffed up her hair to match Scar’s wild mane! 

The Evil Queen from Snow White is one of the oldest Disney Villains and this Disney witch has two different faces. She is shown as an old hag and as a beautiful queen. As you may have noticed Disney often uses purple and green in their villains so maybe this is where it all started. The Evil Queen has a purple robe paired with green eyes, which is exactly how @summer.stockwell has depicted her. However, Summer’s witch has had a nasty accident with her potion – it could have been quite a different story if this happened in the film! Why not create your own Snow White Evil Queen costume with a pair of green coloured contact lenses?

Dr Facilier is a voodoo doctor whose evil schemes involve ‘friends on the other side’, from The Princess and The Frog. @fx_freak has added the creepy skull mask to her Dr Facilier costume. In the film, Dr Facilier has brown eyes but fx_freak has taken inspiration from his outfit by adding Pink UV Coloured Contact Lenses which look super spooky when paired with the skull mask.
