Eowyn's wig: Something you may not realize: shopping for a wig online is INSANELY difficult! I bought one that seemed perfect, and not only was the color totally wrong from the photo (it had streaks of brown), it wasn't the same shape, either. I had to send it back. I purchased the Cassie wig from Amphigory, which was about $30. I purchased color 24B (which is not the color in the photo). I found out about this wig from a Cosplay Island Eowyn costume.
Eowyn's shoes: The shoes for the outfit can be seen in only one shot of Miranda Otto walking to set.
I bought a $20 pair of ballet slippers from Payless, and spray-painted them gold. I used Rust-oleum that I had laying around from repainting an umbrella stand, and it seemed to work really well. I didn't want to spray the insides, so I put on a pair of old socks and sprayed the shoes while wearing them, let them dry for a few minutes, then slowly peeled the socks off. It seems to have worked really well! We'll see how they hold up after a night on the con floor.
