How to Dress Like Alice in Chains
Some people want to be Alice from Wonderland. Some people want to be wrapped in metaphorical chains of existential dread. And some weirdos — bless them — want both. Enter: Alice in Chains. This isn’t your grandma’s tea party look. This is Alice if she joined a 90s grunge band after escaping Wonderland’s third circle of therapy. Let’s break down the perfect combo of dainty and dangerous so you can slay (possibly literally) your next cosplay event.

About Alice in Chains (the Cosplay, Not the Band)
This Alice is what happens when you mash up Lewis Carroll with a Nine Inch Nails concert and maybe one too many absinthe-fueled trips down the rabbit hole. She’s got Victorian sweetness, but she’s also emotionally unavailable and possibly feral. This character’s appeal lies in the fusion of fairytale whimsy and hard-as-nails edge — the juxtaposition of innocence and insanity, like a porcelain doll with a shiv.
It’s a cosplay for those who feel deeply, cry loudly, and maybe shred a few guitar solos in their bedroom between episodes of spiraling. If you want to stand out in a sea of pastel princesses and neon warriors, Alice in Chains is your punk-goth fever dream come to life.
Alice in Chains Costume Tips & FAQs
- Can I use real chains? Yes, but make sure they’re not heavy enough to give you scoliosis or get you kicked out of a con. Foam chains or plastic ones spray-painted silver are great alternatives if you enjoy the look but not the lumbar injury.
- What kind of makeup works best? Go for pale foundation, smudged black eyeliner, and lipstick that screams “I kissed a raven and liked it.” Think Victorian ghost meets riot grrrl.
- Can I mash up Alice with another fandom? Absolutely. Alice in Chains works great with steampunk goggles, Mad Max boots, or even a grunge-inspired Nirvana tee underneath the apron. This cosplay’s motto is “why not?”
- Do I need to act in character? That’s optional. But if you mutter cryptic nonsense about tea and time travel while glaring into the middle distance, you’re definitely selling it.
- Is this cosplay scary or cute? Trick question — it’s both. You’re cute *until* someone opens that mysterious locked box you carry. Then you’re terrifying.
Whether you’re heading to a con, a Halloween bash, or your own inner Wonderland, this twisted take on a classic character is your chance to be unhinged and unbothered — and maybe just a little chained up.
