3 Outfits for Universal Studios Inspired by DreamWorks Land

Updated: Apr 7

Universal Studios opened a new section of the park in 2024 called DreamWorks Land. Here, you can find a Trolls themed roller coaster, hang out with Shrek in the swamp, and become a Kung Fu Warrior with lessons from Po! There are also some play areas and themed foods located in this spot. It’s a great place for the littles, which was much needed at Universal!

If you’re looking for some quick outfit ideas for Universal Studios, we’ve put together a few looks based on the characters and activities you can find in DreamWorks Land. However, we would be happy to plan a customized outfit for you based on your style, size, and interests. You can head on over to our outfit planning page to see how we can create a look for you or your family! 





Trolls


This section of the park is adorably themed with bright colors and spots for your little ones to rest and also run around! Besides the Trolls coaster, there is Poppy's Playground. We've also seen Branch, Poppy, and Guy Diamond meeting guests in this area!


A bright and playful Trolls-inspired outfit flat lay designed for a Universal Studios visit, perfect for DreamWorks Land. The look features a vibrant hot pink puff-sleeve dress that echoes Poppy’s signature color, paired with a whimsical flower headband and a pair of mismatched Poppy and Branch character earrings. A shiny blue heart-shaped crossbody bag adds a pop of contrast, while a pair of white sneakers with pink glitter accents provide comfort for walking the park. Accessories include a "Poppy" name necklace and colorful beaded friendship bracelets that read "Get Back Up Again," referencing the Trolls soundtrack. Styled by Once Upon a Wardrobe, this outfit channels the fun, musical spirit of the Trolls and is ideal for women who want to dress in character while staying theme park chic.


This outfit idea was inspired by the princess of positivity! Her colors are so fun, which makes for some great photo opportunities! We adore this heart purse, as Poppy is all about love, but if you're looking to add some Troll hair vibes to this look, we've linked another fun option!



Shrek


If visiting Shrek's swamp is on your bucket list, then you're in luck. You can visit with Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona right in front of Shrek's cottage! There is also an interactive play area for the little ogres in your life that includes some very fun sound effects.


A cozy and fun flat lay of a Shrek-inspired outfit perfect for a day at Universal Studios’ DreamWorks Land. The look features a soft cream graphic tee that reads "What Makes Us Special Makes Us Strong" with a subtle illustration of Princess Fiona. It’s paired with a green plaid skirt for a nod to Shrek’s swampy aesthetic. Accessories include an ogre ear headband with a golden crown, a velvet green knotted headband, and adorable Shrek face stud earrings. A themed backpack featuring Shrek’s swamp adds the perfect park-day touch, along with a trio of neutral claw clips and comfortable cream sneakers with tan accents. This outfit is styled by Once Upon a Wardrobe and is ideal for women wanting to Disneybound-style their Universal trip with a DreamWorks twist.



Taking a much different direction from Poppy, we used lots of muted colors for this look to capture the colors of Shrek and the swamp. The braided velvet headband is an accessory that can easily be used in the fall and winter months for your everyday wardrobe. And the hair clips? Those gave us onion vibes. 😉



Kung Fu Panda


Rounding out DreamWorks Land is Kung Fu Panda. While you can't meet Po here, he does give some kung fu lessons at Po Live! This is an interactive screen show and a fun break for everyone.


This look blends chill and character with a cozy black t-shirt dress, oversized white button-up, and iconic panda accessories—including a plush panda purse and a Loungefly Kung Fu Panda backpack. 🐼 Add in bold bracelets, gold hoop earrings, a straw hat, and Nike sneakers for a fun, photo-ready look that's perfect for exploring DreamWorks Land and posing with Po!


We love the simplicity of this look and feel like it's something you can pull directly from your closet. A black t-shirt dress is extremely versatile and can be worn in or outside of the theme parks. A white classic button-down is also a wonderful layer to keep in your closet year-round. It can be worn over the dress or around your waist.




There a lot more possibilities based on different DreamWorks characters you can find throughout this part of the park, but you’ll have to get creative. Items are a bit more limited for MADAGASCAR and Gaby’s Dollhouse. But, you can also explore themes such as Spongebob and The SImpsons if you’re looking for ideas that are outside of DreamWorks productions. 


Either way, we know you’re going to look fabulous no matter what you wear. Remember, theme park fashion doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to make you smile!
