[Fabulous] Last-Minute Celebrity Costume Ideas
I love the innovation, the re-imagination - the mere thought that goes into a good Halloween costume! But somehow, every year I end up scrambling around for my last-minute costume idea.
Although I’ve had peak creative moments in seeing these looks through, I can only imagine what I’d come up with if I actually had a solid idea in July and saw it through till the end. But Alas, it’s October and I have Halloween plans. But no Halloween costume.
I haven’t decided what I’m going to do just yet. But one failsafe option that will always see you through is the celebrity costume. So if you need easy celebrity costume ideas, you’ve come to the right place! See my list of fabulous last-minute celebrity costume ideas below!
Dorothy Dandridge
This look has been replicated many times, and is so iconic/recognizable, that you can put your own spin on it and people would still get the idea.
Beyoncé OTR
The Queen of costumes herself! Beyoncé has a few easy costume looks, but this is by far the most fabulous. Beyoncé-type wigs are sure to be at your local beauty supply, and sequins is in! Most fast fashion shops have this look in different variations.
Nina Simone
If you know your way around weave, this is a cost-effective, fun, and quite unique idea if I do say so myself.
J. Lo in Versace
You can find this look for less than $70 on sites like Yandy or Amazon. Or, if you’re the DIY-type, see what your local fabric stores / thrift stores have to offer!

Naomi Campbell
A great case for subtly-slutty! Mrs. Campbell’s looks are always iconic, and have been recreated by the Kardashian’s and various other celebrities over the years. And once again, you can get this entire look at your local beauty supply. You’re welcome.
Amy Winehouse
Mrs. Winehouse and her signature hot-mess-tress are iconic, but not too serious. You have free range with this look.

Whitney Houston in the 80’s
All you need is a bomb blush, a killer twist-out, and a leather jacket. You can take it up a notch with a vintage leather blazer (instead of a leather jacket).
