Okay, this year is your year! You're determined to take home the prize for the most creative Halloween costume this year, and you don't care who gets hurt in the process! (Sorry, seasonal humor!) Let's ponder a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing for ways to make this year's costume one for the ages!
The most important part of having a creative costume is being original. Originality will make the difference and let you stand out from the rest of the more traditional costumes. If you really want to win a Most Creative Halloween contest, you absolutely cannot buy your costume from a costume shop.
One great way to make a creative costume is to play off of a recent news story involving a famous person. Costumes of this nature will work out even better if the news story has been embarrassing or misfortunate. Consider some examples of just how you can pull it off. You could choose to dress up as Paris Hilton, well accessorized and dressed in a prison outfit. Other options could be Lindsay Lohan desperately searching for a fix, the Obama girl, or Michael Vick dragging a dead dog behind him on a leash.
This type of costume can work out extremely well. Unfortunately, it can also completely fail if other people are not able to recognize you easily. If you do not naturally look anything like the celebrity that you are trying to dress as, you will need to invest a lot of effort into your make up and hair so you can make the costume believable.
A good costume does not stop at the clothing either. Having a truly creative costume will mean that you become the person, even acting and talking like they would.
You need to choose a costume based off of a person that you will be able to imitate comfortably. For example, if you normally dress quite conservatively, but you decide to go to a Halloween party dressed as Britney Spears wearing one of her skimpy outfits, you will need to seriously think about whether or not you will be able to act in character comfortably. The same goes if your body is dramatically different from the celebrity you plan to dress like.
When it comes to couple's costumes, many things have been experimented with. If you want to win a creative couple's costume contest, you will need to work hard to keep things original.
Remember that the whole point of participating in a creative costume contest at a Halloween party is for you to have some real fun. Don't lose sight of that while you are working hard to prepare your creative outfit.
