Top 5: Fashion Icon Halloween Costumes
Put aside your “sexy witch” get-up this Halloween and channel a fashion icon. Herewith, our picks and tips to throwing together a quickie costume worthy of a freaky fashionista.
Coco Chanel
Style yourself a short curly bob, wear a black and white skirt suit, and pile on loads of pearls.
Karl Lagerfeld
Spray
your hair stark white then pull it all back in a low ponytail. Throw on
a black suit with a white button-up shirt and skinny tie. Accessorize
with fingerless gloves (you can cut your own from a black pair),
sunglasses and rings just along the top half of your digits.
Valentino
Paint
your face a shade of orange (think spray tan gone wrong), give yourself
a short, brushed back bouffant (a.k.a. Donald Trump) and wear a white
suit. Put five stuffed animal pugs on leashes to pull behind you.
Lady Gaga
Put
on a platinum blonde wig and top it with the weirdest headpiece you can
find. Don a bodysuit with tights (here's where you recycle “sexy
witch”), big round John Lennon-like sunglasses. If you're feeling
particularly ghoulish, splash some fake blood on yourself to mimic her
spooky VMA performance.
Grace Coddington and Anna Wintour
Grab a friend and go as the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Vogue.
For Grace, frizz-out your hair, white-out your brows, wear loose dark
clothing with clunky leather sandals and top-off with a red lip. For
Anna, it's a bobbed wig with bangs, conservative floral shift dress
worn under a fur coat and oversized shades.
