Wardrobe: Power, Embellished

​

Fabrics & Silhouettes:

• You don’t just wear clothes — you enter rooms in statements.

• Drape yourself in gold, jewel tones, or the kind of monochrome black that says, “I mourn the loss of anyone who doubted me.”

• Reach for floor-sweeping capes and corseted bodices that make dramatic exits more powerful than your entrances.

• Think structured jackets, exaggerated shoulders, and sashes that scream dynasty, not participation trophy.

• Want to bring intimidation and sparkle? Add costume armor or silhouettes so commanding, courtiers part like the sea.

​

Essential Pieces:

• A crown or circlet — but not some sad plastic afterthought. You want something that looks like it was forged during a blood moon and whispers at night.

• Layered jewelry: signet rings for every scheme, brooches big enough to deflect arrows, and necklaces that clink when you plot.

• Belted robes, embroidered gloves, and boots that thud like thunder on marble floors — people should feel you coming.

• Optional but iconic: your House medallion or crest, worn over the heart (or where it would be, if sentiment hadn’t been assassinated long ago).

​

Easy Add-Ons - Princess/Queen:

• A headband with glued-on rhinestones = DIY tiara

• Necklace layers = inherited royal jewels

• Add a wide belt or ribbon to give structure to any dress

• Throw on gloves or lace sleeves for extra flair

​

Easy Add-Ons - Prince/King:

• A necklace or brooch as a “royal seal”

• A bathrobe belt or scarf as a sash

• A paper crown (spray-painted gold!) or dollar store crown

• Gloves (optional — but dramatic)

​

Hair, Makeup & Accessories

Makeup:

• Go bold or go to the dungeon. Deep wine lips, smoky eyes like storm clouds, and contouring so sharp it could seize power in a coup.

Hair:

• This is no place for beach waves. Think elegant updos, braid crowns woven with metallic threads, or sculptural curls that say “a bird could nest here and I’d allow it… if royal enough.”

Accessories:

• A scepter (purely symbolic, outrageously bedazzled).

• A fan or scroll, used only for dramatic gesturing and swift dismissals.

• A velvet-bound Book of Decrees — or your autobiography, written one scandal at a time.

​

Behavior & Demeanor

Demeanor:

• Unbothered. Unshaken. Unmatched.

• Speak as if every word deserves a stone engraving.

• Every gesture? Calculated. Every sigh? A warning.

• A side-eye from you is considered an official policy shift.

​

How to Speak:

• Use a tone that’s calm, measured, and clearly too elegant for confrontation.

• Speak in the royal “we”, not because you need backup — but because you are your own entourage.

• Say things like:

  • “You may continue.” (Whether they were speaking or not.)

  • “We find this… disappointing.”

  • “By the stars above, this betrayal shall not go unnoticed.”

  • And always… draw out your vowels when speaking to commoners: “Yeesss, dahhhhling.”

​

Sample Phrases for Instant Authority:

• “Bow deeper. There’s still dust on the floor.”

• “My time is the most precious gem in the realm — and you’re wasting it.”

• “This gown has its own zip code.”

• “A sovereign does not ask. We expect.”

• “History will remember this moment. Mostly because I will edit it.”

​

Behavior Tips for True Royalty:

• Pause before responding — make them earn your opinion.

• Gently correct titles: “Actually, it’s Her Magnificence, not ‘hon.’”

• Avoid touching things directly. Gesture regally — others will get the message (or get replaced).

• Look faintly amused or slightly inconvenienced at all times. Especially by things like time constraints, stairs, or expectations.
