The long turquoise hair resembles that of the blue ocean and the numerous shell detailing playfully captivates the hearts of the consumer and its onlookers. The costume may be an expensive possession, however it creatively captures the essence of a modernize Ariel from [The Little Mermaid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-the-little-mermaid-collection). The costume comes complete with a stunning [shell headpiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-swipe), starfish belt, green crochet cuffs, [blue-haired wig](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney), beaded chocker, pearl earrings and false eyelashes for that extra va-voom appeal. The mermaid costume should be worn with a body suit if one is not comfortable with exposing their midriff. The skirt is made of a stretchy material so it will fit sizes small to medium. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Extravagant Costumes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop high-end, intricate costumes that capture the attention of consumers with their extravagant designs and attention to detail. - **Character-inspired Costumes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create costumes inspired by popular fictional characters that give consumers the opportunity to embody their favorite personas in a unique and creative way. - **Customizable Costumes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design costumes that can be personalized and customized by consumers, offering a tailored experience and allowing individuals to express their creativity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate advanced materials and technology into fashion designs to create unique and striking costumes that push the boundaries of traditional apparel. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with film and television studios to create officially licensed costumes based on popular characters, offering fans an authentic and immersive experience. - **Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with event planners to offer customized costume options for themed parties and events, providing attendees with a memorable and interactive experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Film-Themed Retailer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-x-disney-the-little-mermaid-collection.md) - [Mermaid-Inspired Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection.md) - [Mermaid-Inspired Beach Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/under-the-sea-stay.md) - [Color-Changing Mermaid Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mermaid-doll.md) - [Coordinated Coastal Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salty-mermaid.md) - [Uniform-Inspired Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-drama-school.md) - [Live-Action Mermaid Film Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-little-mermaid-1.md) - [Iridescent Smoothie Toppings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-smoothie-cafe-mermaid-style.md) - [Aquatic Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-the-little-mermaid-collection.md)
