Dress up as your favorite Hollywood star for your next costume party.
Dressing in costume isn't just for children. Lots of adults have fun wearing something they would never ordinarily wear and playing the role of an alternative personality. If you are in need of a costume, consider dressing as your favorite Hollywood star or fictional character. Experience what it would feel like to look and act like him or her.
Female Costumes
A popular Hollywood costume for women is Dolly Parton. To look like her, you need country-western-themed clothing with a sexy flair, cowboy boots, a teased, shoulder-length blonde wig, and red lipstick. She also has a large bust, so you could stuff your bra or purchase bust-enhancing bra pads. Carry a toy microphone or guitar. For a more sexy costume, consider dressing like the fictional Betty Boop. You will need a short, strapless red dress with a slight slit up one leg, or a long strapless red dress with a long slit, going up to the mid-thigh. You will also need a white garter that shows beneath the dress (if it is short) or through the slit (if the dress is long,) black eyeliner, red lipstick, red high heels and a short black curly wig. Other female icons include Lady Gaga, Madonna, Bettie Page, Audrey Hepburn, Cyndi Lauper and Beyonce. Fictional costume ideas include Jeannie from "I Dream of Jeannie," Pippi Longstocking, Lara Croft and Hannah Montana.
Male Costumes
Bob Marley is a fun Hollywood costume for men. The main thing you need is a black dreadlocks wig, a colorful Rastafarian hat and and a tie-dyed T-shirt or reggae-style clothing. For a fictional costume idea, consider dressing like the Phantom from "The Phantom of the Opera." You will need a black tuxedo with a black bow-tie, a white ruffled dress shirt, a black cape, short black hair and a white mask that covers half the face. Other male icons include Michael Jackson, MC Hammer and Al Capone.
