Celebrity Costume
Whenever there is a need for a fancy dress costume, many people will panic and just grab the first thing that they find. For others, the chance to stretch their creative wings and really get into a role that they long to fill all through the year is almost a dream come true. Whether you want to be an old time celebrity or a more recent star of present times you can find the right look whether you buy the costumes or make them from collected items that you already own. Costumes and celebrities are a natural match whether you want to recreate a blast from the past or give mad props to the people of today, no matter what the event might be.
Old School Glamour Gals
The first name that comes to mind in this category is of course Marilyn Monroe, but there are others who can be perfect as well including: Mae West and Jean Harlow. Ironically, all three of these gorgeous women are blondes- so the costume that you choose for them should start with a blonde wig. Recreate one of Monroe’s classic looks from her many films- including the famous white dress from the movie “Seven Year Itch”. For those women who are just a little more on the curvier side, choose a gorgeous sequined gown and go as Mae West, but make sure that you learn some of her classic lines. Bonus points for you if you can approximate her throaty delivery and arched eyebrow.
Old School for the Guys
Don’t worry boys, you are not being left out. Costumes and celebrities work for the men as well- and some of the old school ideas are great for you as well. Try the look of one of your favorite Rat Packers, simple enough to recreate: just grab an old fashioned tux and a little dash of your favorite’s panache and personality. Elvis Presley is always a very popular choice when you are discussing celebrities and costumes and offers many choices from his young days, to all of his movie roles and beyond.
The Stars of Today
Whether you are wearing the look of the hottest “It” girl or the latest bad boy to hit the front page of every magazine in the country, or you are paying tribute to a fallen favorite, there are plenty of choices for the modern day celebrity choice as well. Of course, one of the first choices that come to mind is Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. Offering countless looks, the fans can choose to wear the clothing from the era that they loved best or the ones that hold the most special meaning for them. Other choices include Madonna, the female chameleon who changed looks and musical styles dozens of times and always comes out on top, Hannah Montana, the princess of the double life or countless others. The only rule for celebrity costumes is this: bring a little of the personality of the person into the look or you might spend all night trying to explain exactly who you are.
