Let's face it. Girls do want to have fun. But they want to have fun while looking glam. And with Halloween just around the corner, picking out the right Halloween costume can get tricky (yes, pun intended). After all, who wants to end up looking like a nasty old hag? Here are some ideas for female Halloween costumes that will put back the treat into the trick!
1. Fairytale
Instead of going as another Disney Princess, what better way to glitter and shine than to go as a beautiful fairy instead! All you really need is a short, flowy dress, some shiny eye-makeup and wings! You can buy small wings at the children's department in most malls or in toy stores. If you're the crafty type, you can even make a pair of wings on your own by using chicken wire and crepe paper and sequins.
If you're not into the whole glitter thing, why don't you consider going as a pixie? All you'll need is a short skirt, a midriff shirt and some gel to Spike your hair.
2. Alpha female
Nothing increases the power play better than dressing up like your favorite alpha-female. You can get inspiration for this anywhere: books, films, comic characters. In comics? Why not go as Wonder Woman? Yesterday Disney movies as a child, dressed as the ultra-chic, ultra-evil but Cruela De Ville.
3. Rock Star
Rock stars get all the fun. So for Halloween, ditch the usual work clothes you wear every day somethingRock-worthy. Why not go to Pink - complete with the cut, his hair light (you can wear a wig) and piercings (you can fake piercings and use). If you want something more feminine, you dress up as Gwen Stefani with her bling and diamonds. You can also go, Avril Lavigne (pre-marriage) and wearing a long red wig, cargo pants and a shirt with a star.
4. Dee
And, of course, what better way to say to everyone: "Va-va-voom" that dress like a Greek goddess. Allyou'll really need is a full-length, flowing, tube dress (a one-shouldered one will do too) and a belt. You can opt to put your hair up with loose tendrils framing your face or you can just let your locks loose in flowing waves. Accessorize with a bangle or two.
5. Book/Movie Characters
If you're into the whole sci-fi or fantasy thing, dress up as your favorite character. Can't get enough of Star Wars? Come as Princess Lea. Loved Lord of the Rings? You can go as an elf, or the elf herself: Arwen. If you're feeling whimsical, try going as Dorothy in Wizard of Oz. Or as the intellectual and gorgeous Lois Lane? You can even get your special someone to go as Clark Kent/Superman.
There are hundreds of great costume ideas for Halloween. All you have to do is look around and be inspired. Don't stress too much about it though, the point is to have fun. And having fun is what matters.
