Today Rob brings you some fresh Halloween costume ideas as well as some tips on costumes to avoid

If you are dizzy with all the outfit choices to wear, how about checking out these celebrity costume ideas for a fresh change. You can be sexy, sultry, sophisticated or mysterious when you show up for the masquerade ball.

Starting with the big head

Where would any fancy dress or costume celebration be without the usual big head and crazy celebrity costumes in the mix?

There’s no lacking of people to poke fun at right now, and celebrity costume ideas should not be hard to come by this year for anyone. From politics to the plethora of ‘reality’ TV stars (are they REALLY stars?) the past 12 months should have no one in a bind to figure out a costume or celeb to impersonate for the office party.

In politics, the biggest one’s are going to be the obvious ones – Palin, Pelosi, Steele and their like will be everywhere, but how about something a little more off the wall and not so run of the mill as the usual celebrity costume ideas? How about going as Putin, if you can make it work?

Blagovivch should certainly be there if you can handle the hair, or hairpiece to look like him – or, if you have money, simply get in touch with him and for a couple of grand he’ll come to the party as himself for you – he needs the cash, apparently…….

TV celebrity outfits

TV is going to be where most new celebrity costume ideas will come from. There’s Octomom and her 14 kids (use dolls, please!), Jacko will of course be making many, many appearances, Heidi and Spencer (if you really want to go looking like a douche), Gordon Ramsey is a cheap one to do as all your need to do is borrow a chefs jacket and scream obscenities in a British accent (even though he’s Scottish – wonder why no-one’s asked him about his lack of accent?) and so on.

Let’s not forget too that pundits such as Glenn Beck and Cramer (“don’t sell your stocks – there’s nothing wrong with the markets – buy Bear Stearns, its healthy!”) have certainly earned themselves a healthy heaping of ridicule over the past year so let’s not forget that particular little parcel of joy to indulge in.

Halloween celebrity costume ideas and tips

When Halloween comes around, the first step everyone takes is to start thinking about their costumes. Costumes are great because they allow you to pretend or act like someone (or even something) else for a couple of hours, or just one night. So people often ask themselves; what or who do I want to be for Halloween? And many people want to dress up like celebrities.

It makes a lot of sense; the reason many of us love and follow celebrities and celebrity news and gossip is that many of us want to be a celebrity and live that lifestyle of glamor and fame. So what are the great celebrity costume ideas? Well, read on.

First of all, you must be careful with your celebrity costume ideas. There are many that are well-worn out. I’m looking at you, girl dressed up as Amy Winehouse. This is the problem with even the best of celebrity costume ideas; someone else might come up with it also.

For that reason, you want to avoid “flavor-of-the-month” celebrities when thinking about celebrity costume ideas. Anyone that is only recently famous (think, Meghan Fox) is a dubious choice as a good celebrity costume idea.

Going as a celebrity is difficult, as many celebrities don’t necessarily have a “look”. The reason? Celebrities are only people. For that reason, celebrity costume ideas are limited to celebrities that dress in their day-to-day life like costumes, such as Amy Winehouse or Flava Flav. For this reason, you will have to work hard to come up with good celebrity costume ideas.

Dress in the actor’s role

Better than going purely as a celebrity is to go as a celebrity – in a particular role. Sure, you might be able to “pull off” a Tom Cruise costume, but wouldn’t it be more fun to be Tom Cruise in “Top Gun” or, for the bold, “Magnolia”. Of course, these celebrity costume ideas aren’t without some issues themselves.

First of all, dressing as a character (or celebrity, for that matter) will probably force you to act like that character all night. Maybe this sounds good to you, but not to me. Secondly, you run the risk of being a character in a movie or show that few people have seen.

Choose carefully, or you’ll spend your whole night trying to explain and convince people that, yes, in fact, this is a great reproduction of their costumes and that it is awesome.

The main thing with celebrity costume ideas is to make them topical, and something that people can readily recognize. Let your imagination run wild and look at as many celebrities as possible to get tips and new ideas. You’ll come up with something that suits your style and bravery. 

Going as Napoleon Dynamite might appeal to you, but if everyone you work with is over fifty and have never seen the movie, why bother, as no one will know who you are?? So think about it beforehand, and make it something you can really get recognized for!

All in all, good celebrity costume ideas are hard to come by, but, when done well are often the hit of the party. So, instead of the ho-hum Dracula, go as a personality or star or politician this year. Be creative and you’ll be the one they’ll remember until next year.
