10 Best Mardi Gras Outfits for Women in 2026

The Desert Feather Set Purple Black is a two-piece festival outfit featuring a feather crop top paired with a matching feather mini skirt. This set works for women who want maximum visual impact at New Orleans parades or Mardi Gras parties without blending into the crowd.

The deep purple color matches one of the three traditional Mardi Gras colors (purple represents justice in carnival tradition). Each feather catches light and creates movement as you walk or dance. Because it's a two-piece set, you can mix the top with different bottoms for multiple looks throughout the celebration.

• Matching feather mini skirt
• Price: $213

Why We Love It:

• Purple hits the traditional color palette perfectly
• Feathers create drama without heavy embellishments
• Two pieces give you styling flexibility

Keep in Mind:

• Not ideal for rainy February weather in New Orleans

A form-fitting mini dress with an all-over metallic finish that works for casual street parties and formal Mardi Gras balls, the Melanie Metallic Party Dress suits women who want one outfit that handles multiple events throughout the celebration.

• Price: $247

Why We Love It:

There are some women who want to be the center of attention and feel confident making a statement. If you're one of these women, the Gaga Festival Bodysuit Feathers is for you, a full-coverage bodysuit adorned with dramatic feather detailing.

Inspired by bold pop fashion, this bodysuit goes beyond subtle. The feathers cover the bodysuit in a way that creates a costume-like effect without actually being a full costume. You'll get stopped for photos. A lot. The bodysuit base keeps everything secure during dancing, so you won't spend the night adjusting your outfit.

At $157, the Ellen Fringe Sequin Set Pink is the most affordable option in our collection while still delivering serious sparkle for budget-conscious festival-goers.

Sequins (small, shiny discs sewn onto fabric) and fringe together maximize your visual impact per dollar spent. The two-piece format also gives you flexibility.

• Includes: Top and matching bottom
• Material: Sequin fabric with fringe trim
• Price: $157 (lowest in collection)

Why We Love It:

• Best value at $157

• Less coverage than dresses or jumpsuits

Here's the thing about Mardi Gras: you might be on your feet for 8+ hours between parade watching and parties. A jumpsuit (a one-piece garment combining top and bottom) keeps you covered and comfortable.

The Marie Mirror Sequin Jumpsuit Beige is made exactly for this reason: a full-length jumpsuit that works for women spending long days at New Orleans parades who want full coverage without sacrificing style.

The mirror finish reflects the purple, green, and gold colors around you, so you essentially become part of the celebration's color palette. It also comes in black if you prefer a darker base.

Key Details:

• Style: Full-length jumpsuit
• Finish: Mirror sequins
• Price: $269

Why We Love It:

• Full coverage keeps you warm in unpredictable February weather
• One piece means no adjustments needed
• Mirror finish reflects carnival colors around you

Keep in Mind:

• Restroom breaks require full removal
• Higher price point

The Micca Mirror Festival Jumpsuit Pink is a fitted jumpsuit featuring mirror-like panels that reflect surrounding colors and lights. This jumpsuit suits women walking in or watching Mardi Gras parades who want to stand out in massive crowds.

The reflective surface does something special at parades specifically. When float lights hit the mirror panels, you light up. When photographers' flashes go off, you shine. The fitted style creates a sleeker look than the Marie jumpsuit while still offering full coverage. The Micca also comes in silver, gold, beige, and red.

Key Details:

• Style: Fitted jumpsuit
• Finish: Mirror-reflective panels
• Price: $258

Why We Love It:

• Reflective surface catches parade float lights
• Gold option perfect for traditional colors
• Photographs exceptionally well

Keep in Mind:

• Pink isn't traditional (choose gold for classic look)
• Fitted style requires accurate sizing

The Loulou Mermaid Sequin Outfit is a themed two-piece set featuring iridescent sequins that shift colors like mermaid scales. This outfit works for women who want a creative costume approach rather than sticking strictly to traditional carnival colors.

Iridescent means the colors change depending on how light hits the fabric. As you move through the crowd, your outfit shifts from blue to green to purple, creating a sea-goddess effect. New Orleans has deep ties to water and maritime culture, so a mermaid theme actually fits the city's vibe.

Key Details:

• Style: Two-piece set
• Effect: Color-shifting iridescent sequins
• Price: $247

Why We Love It:

• Unique look that stands apart from typical purple, green, and gold
• Color-shifting finish means your outfit changes as you move
• Mermaid theme connects to New Orleans water culture

Keep in Mind:

• Doesn't match traditional Mardi Gras palette
• Two pieces to coordinate

The Evie Holographic Space Disco Costume is a complete costume set with holographic fabric that shifts through the color spectrum. It suits women seeking avant-garde, futuristic looks that push creative boundaries at Mardi Gras.

Holographic fabric reflects light in rainbow patterns, meaning your outfit naturally includes purple and green tones from the traditional palette. You're essentially wearing all the carnival colors at once. The complete costume format means no styling decisions required: just put it on and go!

Key Details:

• Style: Full costume set
• Finish: Holographic, color-shifting
• Price: $314

Why We Love It:

• Most unique look in our collection
• Holographic finish naturally includes purple and green
• Complete costume, no additional styling needed

• Feels more costume than everyday fashion

The Alessa Reflective Mirror Party Dress Pink is a fitted mini dress covered in mirror-like panels. This dress works for women attending Mardi Gras balls, formal krewe dinners, or upscale parties where a jumpsuit feels too casual.

Krewe balls (private parties hosted by Mardi Gras parade organizations) often have dress codes. A dress silhouette reads more formal than bodysuits or jumpsuits while the mirror finish keeps things festive. The Alessa comes in gold and silver if you prefer metallic tones over pink.

Key Details:

• Style: Fitted mini dress
• Finish: Reflective mirror panels
• Price: $269

Why We Love It:

• Dress format suits formal Mardi Gras events
• Gold option nails traditional carnival colors
• Elegant yet still eye-catching

Keep in Mind:

• Less practical for all-day parade standing
• Mini length may not suit all preferences
