I feel like this is either a high brow history reference I'm too dumb to get or a zoomer reference I'm too old to recognise.
The little guy looks like Lord Farquad from Shrek
Not sure who the girl’s supposed to be tho
The gal is playing as Princess Fiona from Shrek.
Meh, bad costume then
It's instantly recognizable lol. Might depend on the year of your birth, though
e: a letter
The girl’s not a redhead, the dress is too dark, the sash is not triangle shaped and the tiara is not golden
And somehow, I picture Fiona with green skin but that might be the later movies that throw me off
Genuinely couldn’t figure who she was going for
Those r some crazy nitpicks for a halloween costume tbh:
I agree with you, but I can't be the only one who didn't recognize her until he stepped in.
Let's say, the other couples must have had awful costumes.
I guess we're spoiled by good cosplay.
or they didn't have internet dweebs like us judge the competition lol
I identified the guy as Farquad immediately and still didn't piece together that she was Fiona. If nothing else, that dress really is way too dark and a completely different style. She's just a girl in a dress.
Once you see Farquad, I think "who is the princess in Shrek that wears green?" You would assume they're a matching costume. I'm not saying it's a flawless recreation, but it shouldn't be hard to see what she's going for. I wouldn't shit on it is all.
