The Dress Up Keys (ドレスアップキー?) are collectable items in Go! Princess Pretty Cure. The Dress Up Keys come in the Cures respective theme colors and share a resemblance to their element and outfits. The Power of Dreams dwells within the keys.
The keys are able to free people whose dreams have been locked up by Dys Dark. Once all of the Dress Up Keys are collected, the Gate of Dreams will be opened, allowing Pretty Cure to protect the dreams of others.
Most keys resemble a dress with a crown worn by its respective Cure, and when needed, a button can be pressed to pop the lower half of the key out. When transformed, each Cure's Dress Up Keys hang from a heart-shaped key ring under their top skirt.
List of keys
Transformation Dress Up Keys

Black Dress Up Keys
Dyspear, the main villain, also created her sinister version of the keys, the Black Dress Up Keys, for Twilight.
Transformation: Her first key can power up the Three Musketeers to create more powerful Zetsuborgs. It is a black and red crown/cage-shaped key with a winged heart on top and a pair of wings above the base, behind a gold butterfly with pink and green gems on it.
Second: The second key inserts inside her butterfly staff to trap victims inside a mirror-like frame from which she can draw out their despair. This key also has the ability to scatter cross or sword-like objects that burn anyone that it came in contact with.
The red section is now purple with pink flower and dots designs (which later translate into the Hanabi key's design). It has a purple and black tiara on top.
Third: The last key can be used to corrupt a Princess Perfume, and then allow Twilight to transform into the Black Princess, a powerful transformation that rivals the power of the Pretty Cures. With the three combined, Black Princess can enter Mode Elegant and fight on equal terms with Trinity Explosion.
The jewel behind the cage bars is a blue gem. A large heart and butterfly wings sit on top of the key. Like the others, it has a golden butterfly design in the middle.
