Steal That Style: Caped Cameos!
 |
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…your own little superhero!
There is nothing like the imagination of a toddler — from playing dress-up to attending princess parties with Prince Charming to donning a pirate mask before taking to the high seas, the minds of little ones often run wild. These days, the craze of caped crusaders has struck hard and the trend is quickly becoming a hit in Hollywood.
While Honor Warren may not have been flying to her destination — she was spotted taking the conventional route (a plane!) with her mom Jessica Alba in Los Angeles last week — that didn’t stop the 15-month-old from sporting a Cutie Pa Tutus Personalized Super Hero Cape in Hot Pink ($45). For My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and his wife Lyz-Z Ballato Way, introducing their newest addition — daughter Bandit Lee — proved the perfect opportunity to show off baby girl’s Batman costume! On the other side of the pond, Nell Burton easily took on her role as an adorable cloaked princess while visiting her mom Helena Bonham Carter on the set of her movie.

Steal That Style: Caped Cameos with the superhero capes below!
 The Lightening Leader Toddler Cape |
Breaking Bank: For most parents, the ability to justify dishing out dough for a child’s magical cape is not an easy feat; Many would argue there are endless wallet-friendly ways to achieve the look without breaking bank. Fortunately, with The Lightening Leader Toddler Cape ($48) both kid and parent can be rest assured that the money has been well spent! In addition to a convenient snap closure at the neck and its soft satin feel, 20% of all sales goes to Discovery Arts.
We are loving Children’s Superhero Cape ($50)! With a variety of colors to choose from — options include red, orange, blue, lavender, and pink — for the cape’s coordinating design and the customized added touch of the child’s initial on the back of the cape, your superhero will soon be soaring through the house. An added bonus? The cape comes with a matching mask to keep superhero’s true identity under wraps!
 Little Capers Red Star Hero |
Not Pinching Pennies: The magical minds of a toddler don’t stop once they leave the house — the thrills of the local castle (known to most as the playground!) serve as the perfect set for battling the bad guys! With Little Capers Red Star Hero ($35), your little one can easily take their superhero look to go. The 100% cotton tee comes complete with a red cape that can easily be attached for play and then removed once your superhero is ready to transform back into a kid!
We’ve also got our eye on Supercapes Princess ($25). With the templates cut by hand, all capes are custom-designed to fit each superhero’s needs ensuring individual flavor all around! We also appreciate the magnetic closures at the neckline — should the cape get caught during play, the magnetic strips will simply pull apart.
 Kids’ Little Adventures Superhero Cape |
Bargain Buying: When splurging on a cape is simply not feasible, try Kids’ Little Adventures Superhero Cape ($15). For an extremely affordable price, parents won’t need to worry about the cape being ruined, while kids will have no problem slipping on the cape themselves due to the easy velcro closure at the neck.
Be sure to check out Children’s Cape Custom Superhero Kid Cape ($20)! Handmade, the capes are made up of high grade satin fabric, while the child’s felt initial sewn on the back is made from recycled soda bottles. For a great price, your child can choose among a shield, crown, circle, square, or heart as a background picture and match it with their favorite colors for the perfect individualized cape! Ready to throw a superhero birthday party? Bulk discounts are given on orders of 10 capes or more.
