If you're trying to look trendy, think about some of these quick celebrity Halloween costumes. Slapping together a Halloween costume is really not that hard, as long as you don't wait until the last minute. There are many themed disguises that are easy to make.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
This quick costume is basically all about the lips. Really go wild with the lip liner and lipstick, marking out the pouty-faced actress's look. Add some eyeliner to create a dramatic effect and use a brown wig if you're hair is the wrong color.
To dress like Angelina Jolie, just grab a T-shirt with some sort of charity logo, or use a white shirt marked "UNICEF" with a black pen. Throw on some jeans, sandals and maybe a pair of movie star sunglasses. You can add up to six baby dolls to hold as props if you want the perfect finishing touch.
If you want a couple's costume, just have a man dress up as Brad Pitt. Get some stubble, sunglasses and the same outfit as wife Angelina. Split up to six baby dolls between the two of you as props. The male part of the costume can be used alone, but isn't as clear a theme without his wife.
Elvis
Elvis will never die, or at least not as long as people celebrate Halloween! This classic celebrity costume is easy to throw together, just make sure you have some black face makeup and big sunglasses.
Wear a shirt with a flared collar that can be unbuttoned down the chest. Add some plain pants, cowboy boots and jewelry. Pile on the rings and necklaces. Use some face paint to make those trademark sideburns, slip on the sunglasses and you're ready.
Michael Jackson
A Michael Jackson costume can be as simple or as complicated as your little heart desires. Best of all, the disguise works for men or women. Regardless of your sex, you'll be wearing a mask and sunglasses, so the theme will be easy for others to figure out.
Get yourself a wig with shoulder-length, greasy, curled, black hair. Buy some big sunglasses and a dust mask. Dress up in your flashiest pants and shirt. Don't forget the white socks with the sparkling shoes. If you want to really go all out, paint your skin a grey color and think about making a single, sequined glove.
