A celebrity costume how-to guide for Halloween
It’s T-minus seven days to Halloween weekend, and you know what that means, right? It means that it’s time to find a costume. But before you grab that bed sheet and just pass yourself off as Casper again, why not take a cue from the stars instead? Look, wasn’t it nice of Bones stars Emily Deschanel/Wonder Woman and Michaela Conlin/Cher (with Catwoman
Tamara Taylor hiding in the background) to model their outfits in advance for us?
It’s easier to look like a famous star than you might think. Here is a quick do-it-yourself guide to dressing up like your favorite celebrity this Halloween, complete with a handy checklist of supplies you’ll need for each look.
Amy Winehouse: A beehive wig. Fake tattoos. Three cases of eyeliner. Optional — a tall, skinny hanger-on with bad teeth and a pork-pie hat.
Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan: Jail duds. A long blonde wig. A long brown wig. A friend with questionable taste in celebrity crushes.
Serena Williams: Tennis dress. Racket. Headband. Muscle suit.
Amanda and Marc from Ugly Betty: A low-cut dress. A snarky attitude. Your best gay boyfriend.
Claire from Heroes:
A cheerleader outfit. Some ketchup. An air of invincibility.
David and Victoria Beckham: Note, this outfit requires the services of your butchest girlfriend, preferably one with a buzz cut. For Becks — a sharp suit. A skinny tie. A scowl. For Posh — a blonde bob wig. A tan in a can. A pout. Two volleyballs.
