Anna and Elsa’s OUAT outfits lowkey look like Halloween costumes than the other characters. (www.reddit.com)

When Once Upon a Time introduced Elsa and Anna in Season 4, | was excited to see how the show would bring them to life.

But one thing that really stood out to me (in a bad way) was their costumes—they looked more like store-bought Halloween costumes than real, lived-in outfits.

Elsa's dress, for example, was practically identical to the Frozen movie version, but the fabric looked cheap and too shiny, almost like plastic.

It didn’t have the intricate details or layered textures that would make it feel like an actual royal gown.

Anna’s outfit had the same problem—it was a near-perfect replica of her animated look, but it felt too clean and artificial, lacking the depth or realism that Once Upon a Time usually puts into its costumes.

Compared to other characters in the show, like Regina or Rumpel who had elaborate and textured outfits, Elsa and Anna's costumes felt like they were straight out of a Halloween catalog.

I wish the show had taken more creative liberties to make their outfits feel more grounded in the OUAT universe instead of just copying the animated designs.

What do you think?

Did their costumes take you out of the immersion, or did you like how faithful they were to the movie?

Would you have preferred a more unique take on their outfits?
