Daphne (Scooby Doo) Costume Guide

How to Make a Daphne Blake (Scooby Doo) Costume

1. Purple dress

Though Scooby-Doo has gone through several different animation styles and live-action movies, Daphne’s purple dress is still a classic part of this costume. The long sleeves and over-the-knee cut are pure 70s, though any purple dress will do in a pinch. If you're going for animated accuracy, her sleeve cuffs and hem are a lighter shade of purple than the rest of her dress. To achieve this, sew light puple or lilac bands to the end of your sleeves and at the bottom of your dress.

2. Purple tights

Wearing a pair of Daphne Costume Tights is a colorful and comfortable way to solve mysteries. Depending on the animation, Daphne’s tights are either a lilac or light pink shade. With these colorful tights, you can dazzle the supernatural with your fabulous legs. Try Lurex Glitter Fashion Tights in lavender for an even more stylish take on this classic character!

3. Purple kitten heels

Jinkies! The bad guy is chasing you! Luckily, your stylish kitten heels are easy to move in. Add little bows to the top of the shoe and you’ll have an exact match for Daphne’s footwear. Like your tights, your heels can be either light purple or pink, depending on which one you prefer. You can even swap in a pair of go-go boots for a retro vibe.

4. Orange wig

Daphne has long red hair with bangs, although her live-action counterparts are occasionally blonde. If you have the length, temporarily dye your hair either red or strawberry blonde, depending on which version of the character you’re portraying. Otherwise, a wig is the best way to get this 70s hairstyle.
