What do valkyries look like?

Question

I want to dress up as a valkyrie for a party but I don't know what to wear. What sort of clothing did they traditionally have? did they have the horned helmets? did they have wings? what did they wear?

Answer 1

According to myth the Valkyries removed the heroic slain from the battlefield and took them to Valhalla to fight with the Gods and Goddesses during Ragnarok. They wore fine cloth garb with some armor (though the explanations vary as to their attire) They rode on white horses. Their helms were winged not horned and otherwise looked like normal beautiful battle maidens. Most art depicts them as blond but I'm sure this was the artistic rendition only. There are many volumes describing the Valkyries especially in Norse Mythological study guides from some Universities

Answer 2

I always thought they looked like vultures.  That nasty looking bird that flys over dead bodies in the desert.  I think if you wear a horned helmet and wings you will look great for the party.
