Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and several other characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice books have become cultural icons, which of course means that everyone has a solid idea of what they look like. Atwood wanted to avoid making her takes on the characters predictable, so she made sure that they didn't resemble existing Halloween costume...
Atwood found inspiration for her costume designs from a classic source: Lewis Carroll and John Tenniel's illustrations for the original Alice book. While both Carroll and Tenniel did live to see the advent of cinema, they hardly would have imagined that their mid-nineteenth century work would impact major films in the 2010s!
One thing that separates Burton's version of the Red Queen from Carroll's is her comically large head, which was perhaps inspired by the Duchess, a character from the book with a ridiculously large head who was excised from Burton's film adaptation and most others.

Inspiration for the outfits worn by the Red Queen's good sister, the White Queen, took inspiration from an unlikely source: The Stepford Wives. A feminist science-fiction satire of traditional gender roles, The Stepford Wives(spoilers!) is about a woman who moves into a new town and is put off by how all the women there are looks-obsessed, 1950s -s...
While realism isn't a quality to be found in any version of Alice in Wonderland (or most Tim Burton projects, for that matter), Atwood did intend for the costumes worn by Alice and the Mad Hatter in the film to be more realistic than the film's other looksso that those two characters would be more relatable to the audience. Atwood also made sure th...
While often classified as a remake of Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland functions more as a sequel to the original Alice books. That certainly didn't stop Burton and company from taking inspiration from Uncle Walt, though. Related: The Most Magical Gift Guide For Every Alice in Wonderland Fan The blue dress that Al...
To make the Mad Hatter's clothes look just right, Atwood did something just as strange as the futterwacken dance which the Hatter does at the end of the film. She burned them!Atwood said that burning the Hatter's clothes helped give them the aged look that she was going for as well as a "mood ring quality" where the his clothing mirrors his mental ...
If you look closely as the Hatter's outfits, you will notice that they have a bit of a patchwork quality to them, with different styles and colors combined in ways you wouldn't normally see. Atwood says that this is because the Hatter creates his clothes similar to how a magpie creates its nest. Related: Ranking Disney's Live-Action Remakes Based O...
In the film, the Mad Hatter has a distinctive gap between his front teeth, which was inspired by a female pop singer.No, not Madonna. The Hatter's teeth were modeled on those of French pop singer Vanessa Paradis; when the film was made, Paradis just happened to be married to a little-known actor named Johnny Depp, and their union inspired the Hatte...
Atwood said that she decided early on that the costumes would look like 1860s clothing, asAlice in Wonderlandwas first published in 1865. But since Burton's Wonderland is really a sequel set many years after the original stories, one would expect the costumes to reflect trends from the 1870's. Perhaps Atwood decided that the likeness was more impor...
