Lady Gaga is infamous for having had many elaborate, shocking as well as avant-garde hairstyles

Think about it, as far back as Cleopatra, people have become infamous for distinctive hair.  Thousands of years ago, just as it is today, hair was dyed, curled and styled in elaborate hairdo’s that represented the fashion and the culture of the time period.  Some of these hair looks would forever be indelibly etched into history.  Even now, you can’t think of certain celebrities without imagining the haircut or hairstyle that went along with them.  Audrey Hepburn, Farrah Fawcett, Jennifer Aniston or even Ariel, Disney’s popular animated red-head mermaid are all well known personalities that had hair that was legendary.  If you are trying to recreate a hot celebrity look this Halloween, getting the hair look just right is going to be a critical part of your costume.  Our collection of celebrity-inspired wigs is going to go a long way in getting the hair exactly perfect.  Here are some ideas to get you started:

Katy Perry:  When Katy Perry wore a bright blue wig to the 2010 MTV movie awards, she admitted that she was paying a bit of homage to the Smurfs movie that she was starring in, as she was playing the role of “Smurfette.”   Whether you just want to dress a bit bold like Katy Perry, or you have a thing for the Smurfs yourself, our sassy (as well as very blue) wig is the perfect way to get a modern, sexy, get-you-noticed look for your ultimate Halloween costume. 

Lady Gaga:  Lady Gaga is infamous for having had many elaborate, shocking as well as avant-garde hairstyles throughout her career.  Ms. Gaga’s hair has been coiffed like bows, buttons, and tousled poufs as well as dyed bright yellow.  Undoubtedly, there will never be a single hairdo that you can attach to this pop star chameleon, but our Lady Gaga wigs cover a wide enough range so that you can pick your favorite look to accentuate your costume.  You can even use our Greaser wig as an option if you want to dress up as Lady Gaga’s famous male alter ego, Jo Calderone.  No matter which wig look you choose, these wigs are really worth going Gaga for.

Whether you are a Jersey Shore fan or not, this cast of characters has made their mark on media and their looks are undeniably ‘out there’.

Jersey Shore:  Whether you are a Jersey Shore fan or not, this cast of characters has made their mark on media and their looks are undeniably ‘out there’.  If you want a hilarious celebrity-inspired costume idea, dressing up as one of the Jersey Shore’s hot, tan as well as crazy cast members is going to get you lots of attention.  Having the hair just right will help you get your point across.  From Pauli D’s perfect slicked back hair, to Snooki’s sleek long locks with a perfectly placed beehive bump, these wig looks are the perfect compliment to your ‘guido’ or ‘guidette’ Jersey shore ensemble.

Justin Bieber: If you are looking to make teenage girls swoon or just make fun of those that do, you simply gotta have the right “do”.  This style has brought hair infamy to good ol’ Justin and the look can be yours, too, quite simply with this Tween Dream Wig.  This Halloween there is likely to be at least one less lonely girl when you take your pop star icon look to the stage with this perfectly coifed, Bieber-ish wig along with your best rendition of “Baby”. 

No matter what your pop star or celebrity dreams are this Halloween, get the hairstyles just right and you will be well on your way to pulling off the perfect costume look while portraying your favorite popular personality. 

Wow I can’t believe how big Jersey Shore has become!  It’s like watching a train wreck, you don’t want to but you just can’t help yourself.  MTV really hit the big time with this little reality series about a group of twenty-something year olds living together and partying it up (GTL – gym, tan, laundry) for the summer in Seaside Heights, NJ.  Can you believe season one premiered in December 2009 to 1.37 million viewers and season 3 premiered in January 2011 with record ratings of 8.45 million viewers!  It’s so popular that the cast of Jersey Shore made Barbara Walter’s “10 Most Fascinating People” list!  

Because it’s such a huge hit with high school and religiously watched by college students, it’s no surprise that the stars of Jersey Shore were popular Halloween costumes last year.  Snooki was the most popular by far!  It’s an easy costume – lots of poof in the hair, lots of bronzer and a short skirt and you’re ready to go!  Pauly D was also fun to portray with tons of hair gel and Ed Hardy t-shirt and jeans and you’ve got the look.  You couldn’t have made up a better cast of characters for all the college students to dress up as for Halloween. 

Season one and three were filmed at the Jersey Shore and season two was filmed in Miami, Florida.   But wait, there’s still another season to come with the group heading to Italy for season four.  Now that should be interesting!  I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Snooki, JWoww, Sammi, Pauly D, the Situation, Ronnie and Vinny!

With a Mardi Gras costume you can bet you’ll be the hit of the party.  The more sequins and feathers the better.  To make your party one to remember decorate in Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold.

Us everyday folk aren’t the only jesters to partake in a little Mardi Gras fun, even the Hollywood celebrities love Carnival!

Ring in the new year dressed as your favorite Hollywood star, a character from your favortie movie or perhaps even a superhero. The possibilities are endless! Make a political statement and dress up as a president (past or present). There’s plenty of crazy politicians out there that you could dress up as. Take the humorous route and portray a famous sports figure that made headlines this year…Tiger Woods instantly comes to mind!

Be the life of the party and try out a sexy costume from Halloween Express! Make the guys notice and the girls jealous by making this a New Year’s Eve party to remember! And don’t forget the accessories…never underestimate the power of a mask and cape!

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, They’re a modern stoneage family.
From the, town of Bedrock, They’re a page right out of history.
Let’s ride, with the family down the street, Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.
When you’re, with the Flintstones, Have a yabba dabba doo time, A dabba doo time, You’ll have a gay old time!

Wow, how many times have you heard that theme song and sung along with it?  I grew up watching The Flintstones and loved it!  It was so much fun to see Fred and Barney unknowingly get themselves in over their head in almost every episode only to have Wilma and Betty lovingly get them out of it.  Who could forget Pebbles and Bam-Bam and of course their adorable pet dinosaur Dino!

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary for everyone’s favorite modern stone-age family from the town of Bedrock, The Flintstones!  Even Google acknowledged this special occasion by creating a Flintstone “doodle” on their homepage.  The classic cartoon premiered on ABC on September 30, 1960.

Great family cartoons such as The Flintstones and The Jetsons have always inspired people to dress up as their characters for Halloween.  It’s not unheard of to see Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty or even Pebbles and Bam-Bam trick-or-treating on Halloween night or winning first prize at costume parties!  Famous cartoon characters that make up television and movie costumes are always popular with both children and adults alike!

No matter what you decide to dress up as this Halloween, one way to ensure you get the most out of your costume is to complete the look with a costume kit.  These kits are great for any costume!  Just think about it…with the “kitty” costume kit you can work up a costume for a little girl – just add a pair of black leggings and a black turtleneck.  If you’re thinking a little sexier for an adult cat costume - just add a black skin tight catsuit and a pair of over the knee black high heeled boots and you’re all set!  Either way by adding the Cat Costume Kit of gloves, headband with ears and tail you’ve just turned yourself or your chid into a Kitty Cat!  What kind of cat is simply up to you!

Costume kits are an easy and inexpensive way to transform yourself into character; bunny ears, butterfly wings, devil horns and even a pocket protector (for the nerd look).  With the Michael Jackson Kit you can turn yourself into the “King of Pop” within seconds! 

Just like in any fashion, accessories make the outfit!

The World Wrestling Entertainment Franchise has been around for years, but became insanely popular in the late 90′s with “professional wrestler” being at the top of ever young boys list of “what I want to be when I grow up”.

Today, the WWE has kept its popularity with shows like Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown. Pay Per View events such as; Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series have all kept the WWE wrestlers in the spotlight and bigger than life.

Every Halloween I’ve had a smaller version of just about every WWE wrestler out there. However, I think this year is going to be a really big year for those WWE wrestlers. There are so many big names in wrestling right now that it should be easy to become your favorite wrestler for a night of trick-or-treating by either going old school with the Undertaker Costume or some new blood such as The Celtic Warrior Sheamus.

My nephew is really into wrestling and the WWE so he has decided to wear the John Cena costume for Halloween this year.  A few of his buddies are going as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Kane.  I’m sure everyone will recognize them for the wrestlers they are!

Sunday night was the MTV Music Video Awards and Lady Gaga stole the show!  I’m not talking about her crazy out-of-this-world sense of style with the outfits she wore, but also for the eight moonmen awards she took home with her! 

Lady Gaga may be eccentric but she is also extremely smart and talented.  How else could she sell over 15 million albums and 51 million singles worldwide?  I’m telling you there are a lot of her so-called “little monsters” (hard core Gaga fans) running around out there!  Winning all these video awards has just pushed the sales for her Halloween Lady Gaga Costumes through the roof! 

This Halloween you’re going to see young and old alike sporting some wild and crazy Lady Gaga costumes.  Join in the fun and become one of MTV’s biggest stars for a night by celebrating Lady Gaga style!

Halloween is a holiday best celebrated with lots of family and friends; the more the merrier!  That’s why group costumes are so popular.  Nobody wants to trick-or-treat alone!

There are so many great themes to pick from when choosing group costumes.  My favorite by far is “The Brady Bunch”.  I grew up watching the show and can still remember many of the episodes – who doesn’t!  The Brady Bunch taught us many important life lessons – such as donning a huge Afro wig will make one more popular, how to sport a groovy man perm, taking an ancient tiki from Hawaii is a sure way to get you cursed and exaggerating to your friends will get Davy Jones to sing at your prom.

Besides all that, the Brady Bunch gave us a sense of style!  There wasn’t a family out there that could put together outrageous vintage outfits quite like Mike, Carol, Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby, and Cindy!

This Halloween I’m definitely getting my husband to dress as Mike and I’m donning the Carol Brady costume!  Florence Henderson (who played Carol all those years) is putting on her dancing shoes to complete in “Dancing With The Stars” which airs on ABC in a couple weeks and I know Carol Brady is going to be one hot dance momma! 

I’m sad that my children are too young to appreciate the phenomenon known as The Brady Bunch, but I’m sure my brothers and sisters will be more than happy to portray one of the Brady’s in a Brady Bunch costume. 

Without a doubt we’ll win first place in any costume contest this Halloween!

Madonna: The quintessential material girl, Madonna has a couple of decades of  different fashion looks to choose from as far as dressing up goes.  I like the original 80’s version of Madonna, with leggings and a dozen or so bangle bracelets on each wrist.  Her hair is softly curled and then tied up into a ponytail with a large lace bow.  Huge earrings (preferably in a cross shape) and heavy make up would complete this 80’s Madonna look.

Katy Perry: Katy Perry is one of the most popular and recognizable pop stars on today’s pop music scene.  Her look is also very easy to copy for Halloween.   There are a few key points you will need to address in order to capture Katy’s look.  Katy often dresses like a 1940’s pin up girl.  A 1940’s style dress with lots of cleavage will get you well on your way to achieving Katy’s sexy look.  Wear a shoulder length brunette wig if you don’t have hair this style and color because it’s an essential part of her appearance.  Katy often wears a bow or a flower in her hair and various brightly colored Wayfarer shades.

Hannah Montana: Miley Cyrus has made this Disney Channel character infamous amongst young teenage girls.  You can easily recreate Hannah’s pop star look with a few easy clothing pieces and accessories.  The most important part of this costume is the long blonde wig with bangs.  Add a sparkly or flashy jacket with sequins and cowboy boots and you’ve just about got it perfect.  If you can find a plastic microphone to carry around no one will mistake who you are!

Michael Jackson: Michael will always be considered the King of Pop and he’s definitely got lots of recognizable looks so you can easily recreate his style for Halloween.  Michael often wore snugly fitting military style jackets with pants that were several inches too short.  White socks and black patent leather shoes will almost complete your costume but don’t forget the sequined glove and large aviator style sunglasses.  If you don’t already have dark curly hair you are probably going to want to wear a wig to make your Michael Jackson costume completely authentic.

Li’l Wayne: Li’l Wayne’s look might take a little more work, but it is very distinctive and once you get it right anyone who knows Rap and Hip Hop music will know exactly who you are dressed up like.  The first and most obvious part of Li’l Wayne’s look is his dreads.  You are going to have to probably buy a dreadlock wig at a costume store to recreate this distinctive hairstyle.  You can pull the dreads back into a ponytail-sometimes Li’l Wayne styles his hair this way.  The next important feature to get just right is the grillz on his teeth.  My best (and most inexpensive) suggestion is to just put some foil around your teeth and that will at least capture the idea of his grilled teeth.  You are going to need lots of fake tattoos.  He has many, so go a little crazy with the fake ones.  A white wife beater tank top and an oversized hoody sweatshirt will complete Li’l Wayne’s attire.   Don’t forget lots and lots of “bling!”

Kanye West: Unless you are a gorgeous black man this look might be hard to pull off.  Some of the distinctive features that you would need to implement into a Kanye costume would be very large sunglasses and a brightly colored sweater.  Kanye loves sweaters and sometimes they are even a bit preppy looking.  Add a long necklace and some white sneakers.

Eminem: Eminem is another rapper that has a unique and easily replicated look for Halloween dress up.  Eminem could easily be accomplished by wearing a very large white t-shirt (rip a hole in it or two) and a very large hoody sweatshirt over the t-shirt.  Wear a cap tilted off to the side to capture his signature rebellious look.

Taylor Swift: Looking for a costume idea that is a little bit sweeter and more innocent?  The Taylor Swift look might be just the one for you.   If you have long blonde hair all you need to do is curl it tightly.  Otherwise in order to look like Taylor, you are going to need a long and curly blonde wig.  Taylor often wears dresses with cowboy boots underneath.  Make sure you have your guitar as well– Taylor’s is often sparkly.

Britney Spears: Britney Spears has been around for awhile and has created many looks over the years that you could easily copy for a Halloween costume.  My personal favorite is her naughty school girl look with the white blouse tied up at the waist and her hair up in pigtails.  Learn a few lines from Britney’s “Baby One More Time” and have fun being bad little Britney for the night.

Lady Gaga: Perhaps one of the easiest to dress up as, Lady Gaga is infamous for her truly outrageous costumes and hairstyles.  Personally I think the easiest way to go “Gaga” is to get a blond wig and cut it short if necessary, so that it’s about chin length.  Dress in your underwear if you dare, she’s been known to do this quite frequently.   If wearing your undies is a little to risqué for you, try something in leather.   Add false eyelashes, either black or colored.  You then will need humongous sunglasses and lots of make up and pale pink lipstick.  If you don’t like my suggestions, you can hear from Lady Gaga herself how she thinks you should dress as her for Halloween by viewing the below video.

No matter which pop star you decide you are going to be for Halloween night, have fun and enjoy being the Superstar that you are!
