The Disney Look is an inclusive set of guidelines that not only aligns with our brand, but empowers our cast members to more proudly be their authentic self. It is clean, polished and approachable, and is designed with our costumed and non-costumed cast members in mind.

In 2026, the "Disney Look" remains a guide for "approachable, professional, and timeless" appearance, but it has become significantly more inclusive than in previous decades. As of the latest 2026 updates, Cast Members are permitted to have visible tattoos, provided they do not contain offensive language or imagery and are not on the face or neck. Hairstyles and colors (including "unnatural" colors like blue or pink) are allowed, as long as they are well-maintained and don't interfere with safety equipment. Nail polish and a "natural" amount of jewelry are permitted for all genders. The goal is to allow Cast Members to express their "authentic selves" while still maintaining the "Story" of the specific land or attraction they work in. A 2026 "pro-tip" is that if you are applying to be a "Face Character" (like a Prince or Princess), the rules are much stricter; you must perfectly match the "look" and height requirements of that specific animated character, often involving specific wig and makeup applications that are non-negotiable for "character integrity."
