Famous by the 31st

Halloween is right around the corner, which means you fall into one of two categories. You are either in the group that has had their costume since the end of August, or the group that will be making their way to the mall or local Halloween store right around October 29th for that perfect Halloween costume.

Now, some people really get into Halloween and will spend $100 on a borderline lingerie style costume that they will (hopefully) never wear again. Others throw on a goofy mask or wig and call it a day. There is a happy medium though. DIY costumes are the way to go..I’m just sayin’.

So why not dig through your closet and become your favorite (or least favorite) celebrity this Halloween?  Transforming yourself into a celebrity is an easy way to dress up, while still managing to look semi-attractive (IF you pick the right celebrity) and it really doesn’t take much effort or money.

Here are just a few options to consider when picking your favorite little celeb-u-tard to dress up as.

Lady Gaga

This look will definitely be a favorite this Halloween, because admit it, you can’t get enough of her music and her style is unlike any other. 

First, you will need to start with a leo-tard (preferably black or white), leggings, body suit, elbow length gloves, anything tight and polyester that leaves little to the imagination. I say go with the leo-tard if you can rock it, because wearing pants would just go against everything Ms Gaga stands for. Next grab a huge pair of sunglasses (to help with your ‘Poker Face’), throw on a glitzy shawl or tailored blazer, and of course, get your hands on a long, blond wig if you weren’t blessed with locks of white hair.

All you need now is some sky high heels and you are good to go! Now have fun and ”Just Dance.”

 

Britney Spears

Everyone loves Britney. Even though she’s had her ups and downs, we still manage to obsess over her every move when it comes to being in the headlines. Now that she’s back on track and is looking better than she ever has, why not celebrate by dressing up in one of her signature looks of the past? I’m not talking the school girl outfit, I’m thinking more so the post-babies and shaved head look.

All you need to do to pull off this look is wear a white baby doll dress, UGG boots, huge sunglasses, and a blonde wig in a messy bun on top of your head or you can opt for the cowboy hat as seen in the picture. Optional accessories are a Starbucks Frappucino glued to your hand at all times, cell phone, and a stroller with two small children.

Phrases such as “Oops I did it again” and “Hit me baby one more time” will surely add to your act.

 

 The Jonas Brothers

 This costume idea works for a group of three girls or guys. That’s the beauty of the Jonas Brothers look. Whether you want to consider yourself a fan or not, you can’t deny that these guys are cute, fashionable and you have caught yourself singing “Burning Up” once or twice.

To look like one of the Jo Bros this Halloween, it may need some digging in your  brothers closet, depending on your ample supply of menswear. You will need a mix of skinny jeans, suit jackets, button up shirts, graphic t-shirts, skinny ties, and dress shoes.

To really make the look, a curly brown wig, flashing that promise ring and  borrowing a group of your little sisters bff’s to chase you around all night will really high light your star quality.

 Jon Gosselin

So fellas, if you are looking to be one of America’s most hated fathers for Halloween, I have your guy. Jon Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8 has been in the headlines, non-stop since about May, and he has loved every minute of it despite the fact that it is over the divorce from his wife whom he has 8 children with.

Achieving the look of a father who has hit his mid-life crisis and yearns to be a 20-year-old, will take the task of raiding an Ed Hardy fans closet. Jon decks himself out in the rocker threads from head to toe to the point where it is designer overload. Diamond stud earrings, sunglasses and mass amounts of hair gel will make you scream “bad father” as your creep around on Halloween night.

Toting around 8 baby dolls or a female, blonde, twenty something other half will make your Worst Father of the Year impersonation that much more convincing.

 

 

 Now gather up your supplies and go out there and stop traffic with your totally awesome costume. I guarantee you will have the paparazzi stalking you down in no time.
