Ideas for Fashion-Themed Halloween Costumes? | yohana
I want a fun Halloween costume that also shows off my passion for fashion. Do you have any ideas?
As we have pointed out before, we have a deep-seated love for Halloween. After all, it's the only time of year when it's quite all right for a grown woman to play dress up! Unfortunately, the adult costume aisle is a bit limiting—sexy cheerleader or naughty nurse? No thank you! We're so over the sort of costumes that require a bikini wax. So why not look to the style world for a little costume inspiration? From fashionable films to iconic tastemakers, read on to get the top five style-inspired looks for fright night.
Holly Golightly: If there's a single iconic fashion costume out there, it has to be Audrey Hepburn playing Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Thankfully the get-up is as timeless as it is easy to recreate. Have an LBD hanging in your closet? Great! All you need in addition to that is a pair ofblack gloves and a statement necklace with pearls or rhinestones. Bonus points if you can get a hold of a cigarette holder —just as a prop of course! If you have a friend who wants to rock a coordinated costume, have her go as a Tiffany's box. Snag an inexpensivetunic top in Tiffany box blue and carefully use fabric paint to spell out Tiffany & Co. across the chest. Tie your waist with a white ribbon, add some black leggings, and presto! you're a walking version of every girl's dream gift.
Twiggy: The iconic model of the swinging sixties would make a super cute costume. To get the look, you have to first master her signatureeye makeup . The waif was the queen of eyelashes, so have fun breaking out the falsies for this ensemble. The only other elements you need include a moddress and a blonde pixie cut wig.
Carrie Bradshaw: Ms. Bradshaw is an institution among the fashion crowd, so donning the famous tutu from the opening sequence is sure to get a nod of approval from style setters. Apparently, Lauren Conrad is on the same page about the cute costume idea, because the former reality star blogged about how to make a DIY version of the skirt. If you're not the crafty type, snag a similar skirt and a pink cami from the mall. Tease out your hair and you're good to go!
Annie Hall: For the girl who'd sooner stick her head in a bag of eels than wear a pink tutu like Carrie Bradshaw, Annie Hall is the costume for you. Diane Keaton's character went down in fashion history for her androgynous chic look, and you can cop the style with just a few simple pieces you probably already own. A button down collared shirt, wide leg khaki pants and a black vest are staples you can find at any thrift store. Borrow a wide printed tie from your man, and a black floppyhat will complete the tomboy style.
