Abbey Bominable is the yeti girl of Monster High, and her look is built on a few things you can spot across a room: white hair streaked with pastels, pale blue skin, white faux fur, snowflakes, ice-crystal jewellery and chunky platforms in a blue and purple palette. I've styled thirty-five versions of her here, from close copies of her classic outfit to streetwear, formal, kids' and cold-weather takes. Most start with thrifted clothes and craft supplies rather than a boxed costume. The thing I'd tell anyone before they start: Abbey only reads as Abbey when the wig, the skin, the fur and the shoes agree, so plan those four together before you buy a dress.
Cutting and Fixing Faux Fur Without a Fluff Storm
Almost every Abbey here has white faux fur somewhere, and fur trim is where homemade versions usually look rough. The fix is in how you cut it. I flip the fur over, draw the line on the knitted backing, and snip only the backing with small sharp scissors, sliding the tips under the pile so they never cut across the long fibres. Pull the pieces apart gently and the pile separates on its own. Then shake each piece outside, or tumble it on a no-heat dryer setting, to lose the loose fluff before it ends up on your dress.
- Fashion tape and adhesive hook-and-loop hold fur cuffs for a night, but press them to smooth fabric, not to the fur backing.
- Safety pins on the inside work on knits and sweatshirts and leave no mark.
- A few large hand stitches with doubled thread are the strongest option and come out easily afterwards.
- Hot glue goes stiff on fur backing and tends to crack where the trim bends at a wrist or knee, so I avoid it on anything that moves.
Before stitching or pinning, brush the pile away from the seam with your fingers so you don't trap fibres in the join. A quick comb over the finished seam hides it.
1. Classic Abbey Bominable Costume
Her classic look starts with a fitted minidress in an abstract blue, pink, purple and black print. A wide band of white faux fur goes at the waist or neckline, with lavender leggings underneath and furry white knee boots, or leg warmers pulled over platforms. The wig is long and white with thin pastel streaks, topped with a fluffy headband. Pale blue skin, lavender shadow, pink lipstick and a little shimmer finish the face. I'd spend the most time on the earrings: mismatched snowflake and icicle shapes are a small detail that fans notice straight away. A crystal necklace and a translucent blue purse round it off for parties, conventions or a photo shoot.
2. Modern Abbey Bominable Costume
Her newer outfit is looser and easier to move in. Loose lavender snowflake trousers go with a white cropped tee over a fitted purple mesh top, plus pale blue fur cuffs and a plush scarf. Chunky purple and blue platforms give the cartoon proportions. Twist the top of a streaked white wig into two small horn-shaped buns; I build those around a foam doughnut or a sock bun and pin through the base, because synthetic hair alone won't hold a bun shape for long. Light blue body makeup, dark purple lipstick, magenta shadow and pearly highlight. Frosted visor glasses, icicle earrings, a snowflake backpack and an icy belt bag carry the rest, and a bright frozen-treat prop makes a fun photo.
3. Easy DIY Abbey Bominable Costume
No sewing machine? This one's for you. Start with a blue patterned dress, lavender tights and a cropped white faux-fur vest. Wrap faux-fur trim around your wrists and the tops of white winter boots with removable fashion tape. Narrow pink, blue and purple extensions clipped under the top layer of a white wig turn it into Abbey's hair. Pale blue shadow, pink lipstick, silver highlight and a few adhesive gems at the temples are the face. A snowflake headband, odd earrings and a clear crossbody bag stuffed with iridescent tissue paper look like a little bag of ice. It's quick, and it reads head to toe.
4. Glam Abbey Bominable Costume
For a night-out Abbey, I'd go with an icy blue sequin dress that has purple or pink flashes, so the colour shifts as you move, under a cropped white faux-fur cape. Silver platform ankle boots, crystal earrings and a rhinestone choker. The wig should be waist-length, sleek, streaked, with a little lift at the crown. Blue makeup only on the face and shoulders keeps a sequin dress clean; body paint rubs off onto the lining. Lavender smoky eyes, cool pink lips and plenty of pearly highlight. A crystal clutch holds your things, and silver nails with snowflake gems are a nice last detail.
5. Abbey Bominable Winter Formal Costume
Picture Abbey at a winter dance. A floor-length lavender gown with an icy blue tulle overlay and snowflake appliqués on the bodice, a white faux-fur wrap, and silver platform heels or glittery ankle boots for height. Loose waves in the white wig with pink, blue and purple woven through, and a crystal comb in place of the furry band. Pale blue skin, shimmery lavender lids, defined lashes and a berry-pink lip. Icicle earrings, elbow-length silver gloves and a clear clutch. One fitting note: a fur wrap sheds onto tulle, so I give the wrap a good shake outside and run a lint roller over it before it goes anywhere near the gown.
6. Abbey Bominable School Uniform Costume
A school-uniform Abbey is one of the easiest versions to wear all day. A purple plaid pleated skirt, a fitted black sweater over an icy blue collared shirt, with a white faux-fur collar and cuffs tying it back to the yeti. Lavender tights and chunky white platform loafers are walkable. Hold the streaked wig with a pale blue furry headband. Light blue face, purple liner, pink lipstick and frosted highlight. A snowflake notebook and a clear backpack carry the school theme, and mismatched icicle earrings with a crystal pendant finish it. If it's for an actual school event, I'd check the dress-code rules on face paint first; some schools ask for a lighter touch.
7. Abbey Bominable Picture Day Costume
For picture day, choose a blue and purple printed dress, ideally an ombré, tie-dye or melting-ice pattern, with a structured black belt and a short black faux-fur shrug. White tights printed with geometric shapes add interest below the hem. Lavender platforms, or white boots dressed with removable blue ribbon. A straight white wig with narrow streaks from crown to ends. Pale blue makeup, icy silver lids, a rosy lip and neat lashes. Pin a snowflake brooch to the shrug, carry a tiny yearbook or framed school-photo prop, and practise Abbey's straight-faced, confident look. She doesn't do cute smiles.
8. Abbey Bominable Art Class Costume
The art-class Abbey starts with a fitted black dress covered in blue and pink icicle shapes. Trim the neck and short sleeves with soft blue faux fur and add a smooth white belt. Icy blue wedge boots with ribbon or elastic straps crossing the ankle. A long, wavy white wig with subtle blue and purple strands, and bright pink safety goggles pushed up on top. Pale blue base, layered blue shadow, strawberry-pink lips and silver shimmer. Carry a big paintbrush and a light foam ice sculpture, never anything sharp. I'd carve the sculpture from a block of upholstery foam with a serrated bread knife; it cuts cleanly and weighs almost nothing.
9. Abbey Bominable Snowboard Costume
A snowboard Abbey suits her mountain home and is practical for a long outdoor night. A fitted blue ski jacket, purple snow trousers and a white faux-fur hood, with a pink belt and reflective snowflake patches. White snow boots or supportive platform sneakers. Braid sections of the wig with blue, pink and purple extensions and push ski goggles up on the forehead. Use waterproof lavender liner, because cold air makes eyes water. Pale blue skin, pink lips and frosty highlight. A foam snowboard painted in a pastel fade is far easier to carry than the real thing; plush mittens, crystal earrings and an icy backpack finish it.
10. Abbey Bominable Dance Costume
For a dance version, layer a shimmering purple leotard under an asymmetric blue and black tulle skirt, frame the shoulders with white fur and add glittering wrist cuffs. Metallic blue knee boots over translucent tights give a stage line. A high ponytail with pastel strands left loose around the face, sparkly purple lids, winged liner and a glossy pink lip on a pale blue base. A silver headset microphone prop, a snowflake tiara, crystal earrings and iridescent nails. If you'll really be dancing, I'd skip the fur shoulders, or tack them on very securely; anything loose flies off on the first spin.
11. Abbey Bominable Pajama Costume
The pajama Abbey is my pick for a sleepover-style indoor party. Wear a pale blue snowflake sleep dress or pajama set under a fluffy white robe trimmed in purple, with furry white slippers or boot slippers. A loose side braid in the streaked wig. Gentle makeup: pale blue face colour, lavender shadow, a rosy lip and a touch of silver. A plush snowflake eye mask, a stuffed woolly mammoth toy for her pet, crystal earrings, a pom-pom necklace and a blue cup. Slippers aren't made for pavements, so keep this one for indoors.
12. Abbey Bominable Cheerleader Costume
Start a cheerleader Abbey with a pleated purple skirt and an icy blue varsity top. Add a white fur band along the hem and sleeves and a big silver snowflake across the chest. White knee socks and chunky blue platform sneakers. A high ponytail with visible streaks, held by a furry band or a metallic bow. Purple liner, a sparkle in the inner corners and bright pink lipstick on pale blue skin. Light blue and silver pom-poms, odd snowflake earrings and a small clear belt bag. I'd cut the snowflake emblem from silver vinyl rather than glitter card, since it bends with the top instead of cracking. Spirit week, a pep rally or a character group all suit it.
13. Abbey Bominable Ice Skater Costume
For the ice skater, choose a lavender skating dress with a crystal bodice and a layered icy blue skirt, with white fur cuffs and neckline. Wear opaque tights and white lace-up ankle boots that look like skates but have ordinary non-slip soles. A low ponytail with streaks showing through the lengths. Pale blue skin, silver-lavender lids, pink lips and tiny snowflake gems. Carry a light silver medal or a pair of decorative skate guards, and add crystal earrings and a fluffy band. Skating dresses are short and thin, so I'd plan a white fur jacket for the walk between places.
14. Abbey Bominable Ice Princess Costume
An ice-princess Abbey mixes her monster style with a storybook shape. An icy blue high-low gown with a sparkly bodice, layered tulle and a white faux-fur neckline goes over lavender tights. Silver platform boots keep her bold proportions and are kinder than delicate princess shoes. A floor-length streaked wig in loose waves under a crystal snowflake crown. Pale blue makeup with lavender shadow, cool pink lips and pearly highlight on the cheeks and collarbones. A snowflake wand cut from light plastic or card, icicle earrings, silver gloves and a crystal belt. Floor-length wigs tangle as you walk, so I braid the back loosely if there's a lot of moving to do.
15. Abbey Bominable Streetwear Costume
Streetwear is the version you'll actually wear again. Lavender cargo trousers, an icy blue fitted top and an oversized white faux-fur bomber, with chunky purple platform sneakers and a silver belt bag worn across the body. Two small buns at the crown of the streaked wig, the rest left loose. Pale blue skin, graphic purple liner, dark berry lips and iridescent highlight. Frosted visor sunglasses, icicle earrings and a snowflake chain. A clear tumbler is the prop. Every separate here goes back into a normal wardrobe after Halloween.
16. Plus Size Abbey Bominable Costume
For a plus-size Abbey, I start with fit and comfort and add the ice details afterwards. A stretchy blue and purple skater or wrap dress with a defined waist and room to sit, a cropped white faux-fur jacket, lavender leggings and wide-fit platform ankle boots. The streaked white wig does most of the character work. Hold it with a plush headband; tight plastic bands press on the temples after an hour. Blend the blue makeup down the neck so there's no line at the jaw, then add purple shadow, pink lips and luminous highlight. Crystal earrings, a snowflake pendant and a light clear bag, plus a foam snowflake for impact without weight.
17. Teen Abbey Bominable Costume
A teen Abbey needs coverage and shoes that last a school day. A blue snowflake-print dress over lavender leggings with a fluffy white cropped cardigan, and supportive white combat boots with fur cuffs instead of tall heels. A white wig with clip-in pastel streaks means no permanent colour. Skin-safe pale blue makeup used sparingly, purple shadow, pink gloss and a few silver face gems. A snowflake headband, odd earrings and a clear mini backpack with removable stickers. Carry a plush mammoth or an icy blue notebook. It's age-appropriate, and none of it needs crafting.
18. Kids Abbey Bominable Costume
For a child's Abbey, think soft, secure and easy to run in. A blue and purple printed dress over warm lavender leggings, a white faux-fur vest, and boot covers fixed firmly over flat, non-slip shoes. Use a light white wig with pastel clip-ins, or temporary colour on naturally light hair. Keep makeup small: blue face glitter, lavender shadow, pink balm and a snowflake sticker on each cheek. A soft fabric headband beats a rigid crown. A foam snowflake wand, a plush mammoth and a breakaway crystal-look necklace are safe extras. Kids pull off anything itchy, so I'd run a hand over the inside of the fur vest seams first, and add reflective trim if they're trick-or-treating.
19. Modest Abbey Bominable Costume
A modest Abbey keeps every detail and adds coverage. A long-sleeved icy blue tunic, a flowing purple midi skirt and opaque lavender leggings, with a white faux-fur vest and a wide snowflake belt to mark the waist. White flat knee boots. Wear the streaked wig, or coordinate a white head covering with pastel blue and purple accessories. Pale blue makeup only on the visible face, lavender shadow, pink lips and silver highlight. Clip-on icicle earrings or a crystal brooch, a snowflake-covered book and a clear blue bag. The palette and the fur do the identifying, so nothing is lost.
20. Last-Minute Abbey Bominable Costume
Last-minute Abbey comes straight out of your wardrobe: a lavender top, a blue skirt, a white cardigan and winter boots. Pin or tape strips of white faux fur round the cardigan cuffs and boot openings. Use a white wig if you have one; otherwise spray temporary pastel colour through light hair and clip in pink, blue and purple extensions. I'd blend pale blue shadow out to the temples instead of attempting full face paint in a hurry; it gives the icy cast without a patchy finish. Purple liner, pink lips, lots of silver highlight. Glitter cardstock snowflakes become earrings, a necklace and a headband, and a clear purse or cup is the prop.
21. Thrifted Abbey Bominable Costume
Thrifting suits Abbey because her clothes clash on purpose. Look for a blue patterned minidress, lavender leggings, a white faux-fur vest and chunky winter boots; they don't need to match. Wind purple ribbon round the boots and paint a secondhand belt silver or icy blue. Freshen a white wig with removable pastel hair chalk and style it under a thrifted fluffy headband. Pale blue skin, berry lips, silver shadow and a few adhesive gems. Old costume jewellery can be rebuilt into odd snowflake and icicle earrings. A clear vintage handbag full of iridescent paper is the ice. Hair chalk dusts onto shoulders, so I set it with a little hairspray once it's in.
22. No-Sew Abbey Bominable Costume
The no-sew version uses a blue bodycon dress, lavender tights, white boots and removable faux-fur trim, fixed round the neckline, wrists, waist and boot tops with fashion tape or adhesive hook-and-loop. Removable fabric stickers add the pink and purple geometric shapes. Clip coloured extensions into a long white wig and set a fluffy band above the bangs. Pale blue skin, purple shadow, bright pink lipstick and pearly highlight. Glitter-foam earrings on clip-on findings, and a cardboard snowflake covered in iridescent paper. Fashion tape grips skin and smooth fabric well but not fur backing, so I press it on the fabric side and test it with a tug before leaving the house. Every piece can be reused.
23. Cold Weather Abbey Bominable Costume
On a cold Halloween night, Abbey is the easiest character to keep warm. Wear a lavender thermal top and insulated purple trousers under a blue snowflake coat, or go for a white faux-fur coat with an icy blue belt for a stronger yeti shape. Warm gloves, thick socks and waterproof white winter boots with pastel laces. Fit the long wig over a thin beanie and weave in the extensions. Cream makeup tends to hold better than water-based paint when your nose runs in the cold. Creamy purple shadow, pink balm and silver highlight. Frosted goggles and a plush scarf are accessories and warmth at once, with a small snowflake backpack on top.
24. Warm Weather Abbey Bominable Costume
For an indoor convention or a warm climate, swap heavy fur for lighter textures. An icy blue sleeveless skater dress with purple snowflakes, a narrow white feather-trimmed belt, breathable lavender bike shorts and purple platform sandals. A light white wig with sparse streaks, half-up to keep hair off the neck. Use a thin layer of pale blue body paint and set it with powder, along with lavender liner, pink lips and a powder highlight that resists shine. Small fur wristbands keep the yeti detail without the heat. Frosted sunglasses, crystal earrings, a clear mini bag and a folding snowflake fan, which is as useful as it is cute.
25. Pastel Abbey Bominable Costume
A pastel Abbey softens her palette to powder blue, lilac, blush pink and white. A pastel ombré dress with a cropped white fur jacket, pale lavender tights and powder blue platform boots. Choose a wig with softly blended pink, mint-blue and lavender streaks rather than high-contrast ones. Light blue face, diffused lilac lids, rosy lips and opalescent highlight. A fluffy white headband, clear snowflake earrings and a pearl-and-crystal necklace. Carry an iridescent mini backpack or a clear purse full of pastel pom-poms. I'd keep at least one darker accent, like lilac liner, so the face doesn't wash out in photos.
26. Blue Abbey Bominable Costume
The all-blue Abbey is monochrome with icy contrast. A cobalt and ice-blue patterned dress, a pale blue fur vest and blue tights. White platform boots with blue ribbon laces and fluffy cuffs break up the single colour. The wig gets several blues woven through with only a few purple strands. Pale blue skin, navy liner, frosted blue lids and a cool pink lip for contrast. Silver snowflake earrings and a clear crystal necklace catch the light without adding another colour. Carry a translucent blue clutch shaped like a block of ice. Mixing two or three blues of different depths keeps it from looking flat, which a single matched shade often does.
27. Purple Abbey Bominable Costume
Purple can lead, too. A fitted violet sweater dress trimmed in white fur, lilac leggings, deep purple platform boots and a crystal belt. Pale blue snowflake patches keep the frozen link. Style the wig with lavender, magenta and a few blue streaks, with the top twisted into small buns. Pale blue base, plum liner, lilac lids, dark purple lipstick and silver highlight. Crystal earrings, a fluffy white headband and a translucent purple bag. A big foam snowflake painted lavender is a light photo prop. Sweater dresses are warm, so this one suits a cool evening better than a packed room.
28. Pink And Blue Abbey Bominable Costume
Bright pink against icy blue makes Abbey easy to find at a crowded event. A fitted blue top with fur cuffs, a tiered pink and blue skirt, lavender tights and white platform ankle boots laced alternately pink and blue. The wig should show magenta, turquoise and purple streaks from crown to ends. Pale blue skin, a pink-to-blue gradient on the lids, berry lips and opalescent highlight. Wear a pink snowflake earring on one side and a blue icicle on the other, and carry a clear crossbody bag dotted with pastel gems. I blend the eyeshadow gradient with a clean brush between colours, or the middle turns muddy purple.
29. Black And Blue Abbey Bominable Costume
For a sharper Abbey, use a black long-sleeved minidress under an icy blue patterned overskirt, with white fur at the shoulders and hem and a translucent blue belt. Black tights and blue platform wedges. A straight white wig with electric-blue, purple and magenta streaks lifts the dark clothes. Pale blue skin, smoky navy lids, black liner, purple lips and cool silver highlight. Icicle earrings, a crystal choker and a black clutch with snowflake appliqués. A translucent blue hand fan is a safe prop. If you prefer darker clothes, this keeps the frozen details clear without the brights.
30. Metallic Abbey Bominable Costume
A metallic Abbey feels futuristic and frozen at once. A silver-blue metallic jumpsuit, a purple belt and a detachable white fur shoulder piece, with iridescent platform boots that flicker blue to lavender under lights. A sleek, long white wig with tinsel strands and pastel streaks. Pale blue skin, chrome lavender lids, deep pink lipstick and glassy highlight. Frosted visor glasses, silver icicle earrings, mirrored bracelets and a geometric clear handbag. Metallic fabric shows every crease and sweat mark, so I'd steam it on a low setting and pick a jumpsuit with a little room at the underarm. It's made for bright stage lighting and flash photos.
31. Rhinestone Abbey Bominable Costume
For a sparkling Abbey, decorate an icy blue dress, fitted top and flared skirt, with removable rhinestone snowflakes. Add a plush white fur neckline, a silver crystal belt, lavender tights and rhinestone-covered platform ankle boots. Brushed waves in the streaked wig. Pale blue foundation, crystal eye gems, lavender shadow, pink lips and luminous highlight. Keep gems clear of the eye itself and stick them on with a skin-safe adhesive, after testing it on the inner wrist the day before. Dangling icicle earrings and a gem-covered headband. A clear clutch filled with iridescent confetti keeps it playful rather than formal.
32. Abbey Bominable Jumpsuit Costume
A jumpsuit is the easiest Abbey to move in over a long event. Pick a lavender wide-leg jumpsuit with an icy blue snowflake print and a cropped white fur shrug, and cinch it with a crystal-look belt. Blue platform boots hide under the wide hems. A high half-ponytail in the streaked wig, held with a fluffy band. Pale blue skin, purple cat-eye liner, dark pink lips and silver highlight. Frosted glasses, icicle earrings and crystal bangles. A small snowflake backpack keeps your hands free. Wide hems collect dirt from the floor, so I'd hem them to clear the ground in the platforms you'll actually wear.
33. Abbey Bominable Tulle Skirt Costume
A layered tulle skirt in blue, purple, black and pink gives Abbey a playful shape. Pair it with a fitted icy blue long-sleeved top trimmed in white fur at the neck and cuffs. Lavender leggings under the sheer skirt, white platform boots with furry tops below. A snowflake headband over the streaked wig. Pale blue skin, purple lids, pink lips and silver painted freckles. Odd icicle and snowflake earrings and a crystal pendant. The skirt is simple to make: tie strips of tulle onto an elastic waistband until it's as full as you want. I cut the strips twice as long as the finished length because each one folds in half over the elastic.
34. Abbey Bominable Pants Costume
Skip the dress with snowflake-print lavender trousers, a fitted white top and a cropped purple sweater with pale blue fur cuffs. A crystal-look belt bag at the waist and chunky purple and blue platforms give the cartoon feet without narrow heels. Two small twisted buns at the crown of a streaked wig. Pale blue base, magenta lids, dark purple lips and frosted highlight. Visor glasses, icicle earrings, a fluffy scarf and a clear backpack with snowflake charms. It's the version I'd suggest for anyone who'll be walking, dancing and sitting all night.
35. Abbey Bominable Yeti Hoodie Costume
The cosiest Abbey of all is an oversized white faux-fur hoodie with small rounded ears or soft horn shapes on the hood. Wear it over a blue snowflake dress or a lavender top with leggings. Furry white leg warmers over sturdy purple platform sneakers make the yeti outline. Let the streaked wig hang out from under the hood, or use coloured clip-ins in your own hair. Pale blue skin, soft purple shadow, pink lips and silver highlight, with crystal earrings and a clear snowflake necklace. Carry a plush mammoth and an icy blue backpack. A hood squashes a wig flat, so I'd style it with less volume on top and more through the lengths.
Pale Blue Skin That Stays Off the White Fur
Abbey's icy skin is the step most people dread, and the real risk isn't the colour. It's the transfer: blue face paint rubbing onto white fur collars, wig fibres and other people's shoulders. Here's the routine I use.
- Patch-test any face paint on the inner wrist the day before, especially on sensitive or young skin.
- Start with a light moisturiser and let it sink in for a few minutes, so the paint sits evenly instead of grabbing dry patches.
- Apply thin layers with a damp sponge. Two sheer coats look smoother and crack less than one thick one.
- Press translucent setting powder over the paint with a puff, then mist lightly with water or setting spray.
- Dress after the makeup sets, and pull tops on with a scarf over your face so the collar never touches wet colour.
If full coverage feels like too much, a pale blue cream shadow swept along the cheekbones, temples and hairline gives the cold cast with far less mess. To take it off, I use an oil cleanser or cleansing balm first to break it down, then a gentle wash. Scrubbing with a dry wipe just stains the skin around the nose.
Adding Pastel Streaks to a White Wig
You don't need to dye a wig to get Abbey's streaks. Clip-in extensions in pink, blue and purple are the simplest route: part the wig, clip each one under a top layer so the clip is hidden, and let only the colour show. I'd use four to six thin pieces rather than two thick ones, because her streaks are fine and scattered. Spray-on temporary colour also works on synthetic fibre, but it can stiffen the hair and rub off on the fur trim, so keep it for the ends. Brush a cheap white wig with a wide-tooth comb before you start; they tangle at the nape and shed when they're handled roughly.
Which Abbey Suits Your Night
Every Abbey on this list comes back to the same four things: icy colours, snowy texture, streaked white hair and bold accessories. Start with the version that fits your event, how long you'll be on your feet, how much you want to make and what you want to spend. A white wig with pastel streaks makes almost any blue and purple outfit read as her, and the fur, snowflakes and crystals do the rest. Plan the makeup, shoes, jewellery and prop together, not just the dress. If heels won't last the night, platforms, boots or chunky sneakers are just as true to her.
