🎭 Dress Up 2026 Theme — Jungle Temple
Step into a wild sanctuary where the rhythms of the jungle meet the spirit of the temple.
Think lush greens, tribal prints, vines, body paint, feathers, and natural textures glowing in the sunlight and firelight.
Channel your inner guardian of the forest, jungle dancer, or ancient healer — fierce, earthy, and free.
🪘 Dress up, paint up, and step into the wild - bring your drums.
(✨ Best costume wins a prize — judged by vibes and creativity)
