3 Outfits for Universal Studios Inspired by DreamWorks Land

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!

• Pink Dress (plus-size friendly)

• Blue Heart Purse (similar option)

• Fluffy Heart Purse (alternative option)

• Poppy Necklace (customizable similar option)

• Poppy & Branch Earrings

• Poppy Headband (similar option)

• White and Pink Glitter Sneakers

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.

• Green Velvet headband (similar option)

• Neutral Hair Clips

• Green Plaid Skirt (similar option & plus-size friendly)

• Beige Sneakers

• Shrek Earrings (similar option)

• Shrek Mini Backpack

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.

• Black T-Shirt Dress (goes up to 3X)

• White Button-Down Top

• White Button-Down Top (plus-size friendly option)

• Black & White Hoop Earrings (similar option)

• Bracelet Stack (similar option)

• Legacy Nike Court Shoes

• Fedora

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!
