As a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community, it comes as no surprise that Mardi Gras is one of the most fabulous events of the year. From parades to parties, there's plenty to get involved in when the festivities roll around, and if you're wondering what to wear, you've come to the right place.
Whether you want to go all out with a costume, create a new colourful makeup look or just want a cute pair of sneakers to dance the night away in, we've got all the outfit inspiration you need below. You can also check out a list of stores with Afterpay to get your look for less.
If you don't feel like covering everything you own in glitter, sequins are another great option. They're just as shiny and eye-catching as glitter and you can put them on just about any outfit that you can think of.
Don't be afraid to go overboard either – if you don't feel like a shining disco ball by the end of it, you haven't put enough on!
Mardi Gras is one time of the year that you can get away with throwing practicality out the window.
From fairy wings to police outfits, take to the streets in an outlandish costume and watch people line up to take photos with you. Remember, there are no rules at Mardi Gras, so make the most of it and get creative!
As much as you may want to get dressed up for the festivities, there's nothing worse than having to cut the night short because your feet hurt. If you're going to be dancing the night away or standing and watching the parade for a long time, comfy shoes are the way to go.
If you really can't go without the heels, opt for a block heel over a stiletto. Otherwise, simply invest in some cute sneakers. They are on trend, after all.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
