Nicki MinaJ: Let everyone know that you’ve got that ‘boom-de-boom-boom-boom’ by dressing in a pop star costume modeled after Nicki MinaJ.

05_Flatbed_1 - NOVEMBERNicki MinaJ: Let everyone know that you’ve got that ‘boom-de-boom-boom-boom’ by dressing in a pop star costume modeled after Nicki MinaJ. As one of the hottest singers in the music business, Nicki is also noted for the loud costumes she likes to wear on and off the stage. You never know which way Nicki will go with her costumes, but you can pretty much expect a shock of a neon wig, wild leggings, high-heels and tutus, all fitting for a self-described Harajuku Barbie. Pile it on, you can never have to much glitter and girly glam if you are rocking it out Nicki MinaJ style.

Amy Winehouse:  While the notoriously troubled singer has passed on, super fans will be even more inspired to dress up like Amy Winehouse. An Amy Winehouse costume is fairly easy to put together, the biggest feature will be achieving her trademark brunette beehive. Either tease up your own brown hair into a ratty mess or wear an Amy Winehouse wig. The rest of the signer costume can be cut off shorts, a bra top, lots of faux tattoos and a cigarette hanging out of your mouth. Watch out, Daddy might try to send you to rehab if he sees you in an Amy Winehouse costume.

Lady  Gaga: From raw meat dresses to Kermit the Frog coats, the weird costumes word by Lady Gaga have defined her as a dress to shock performance artist. You never know what this lady will turn up in next, so anything goes when it comes to a Lady Gaga costume. The point of a Lady Gaga costume is to get people talking about you, good or bad! If you want to go old-school Gaga, a dress in a leotard covered in balloon ‘bubbles’ and a platinum blonde wig styled into a bob with a “hair” bow and fish net stockings – it was one of her very first looks and still worn as a Halloween costume in 2011.

Gaga-licious Women’s Costumes

blog gaga-hatWelcome to the House of Gaga where dreams of wild and whimsical fashion can be all your own. Inspired by the Lady herself, there are sure to be many of the best Halloween costumes this year based on pop princess Lady Gaga. If you’ve ever watched this singer in a music video, at a concert, or just being stalked by the paparazzi, the one thing instantly noticed is that her style is utterly unpredictable – and you can count on that! So if the whole gang wants to dress up as Lady Gaga (hey, guy gossip-meister Perez Hilton did last year) for Halloween or the next costume party, no one has to worry about wearing the same exact thing!

One of the easiest and most (oxymoronically)basic Lady Gaga costumes you can create is to just throw on some sort of leotard in any color you choose; there aren’t very many photo ops where you have seen this leggy blonde’s stems covered up. At this point you can decorate your leotard in anyway you please; some of Gaga’s favorite looks have included a leotard with great big bows, green Kermit the Frog dolls, bubbles made of balloons, a little red riding hood “hood”, and more. After you’ve got the leotard in place with the right “theme” add some crazy tights, wild boots, or platform heels and sunglasses.

Lady Gaga loves her an outlandish wig, so this has to be one of your main costume accessories! For an everyday Gaga look, a platinum blonde bob wig will do, but you’ll want to take your ‘do over the top for a special occasion. One favorite, all-purpose hairstyle of mine is when she had her hair coiffed to look like a bow or then there is the time that she had a flat hat that looked like a big button covered in hair to match her own. If you’re feeling the need for some shade, tease, flatten and spray your long blond hair out to look like the wide-brim sun hat that she’s sported about. If you don’t have the natural hair to pull it off, check out the many wigs found through CostumeMachine.com that can help you with the crowning glory to all your other Gaga gear.
