Nun's hood Mother Superior white

The white Mother Superior nun hood is a white headpiece with an oval opening for the face, which extends at the top into wide, pointed wings. It is intended for women who dress up as a strict nun at the head of a convent for Carnival. The continuous piece of fabric under the face opening wraps around the chin and neck, so your hair and neck are completely hidden under the nun hood.

Why a Mother Superior wears such a striking hood

A Mother Superior is the sister who has leadership over a convent community. In various religious orders, sisters wore a starched hood with large wings, and that silhouette in particular became known from old films and paintings. Thanks to the pointed shape above the head, you can recognize such a nun from afar, even in a busy parade.

What makeup and glasses suit under a nun hood?

Under a nun hood, understated makeup works best: a light foundation, some blush and lips in a natural shade keep the strict appearance intact. Round glasses with a thin frame immediately turn your sister into the strict superior. A wooden cross on a long chain on your chest and a rosary in your hand complete the look, and a black nun dress underneath makes the white wings stand out the most.
