Rolling on with ideas and inspirations for Halloween costumes and no doubt, the parties, clubs and streets will be loaded with sparkly vampires and Anne Cullen, Bella Swan and maybe a few werewolves (thought likely no bare-chested Jacobs).
Here’s a guide for assembling your Forks-worthy outfit for haunting your town.
PS If you costume turns out great, submit to Strutta’s Halloween Costume contest and join Hugh Hefner with a Playboy Bunny, Ghostbuster and three variations of Johnny Depp characters among others …
Twilight’s Edward & Bella
Dressing up as Twilight’s Bella and Edward is possibly one of the easiest and most recognizable costumes to pull off. Your own wardrobe should suffice, but where you’re going to need to spend your moola is on white face paint and hair products.
First up, to disguise yourself as a successful Edward you’ll need 3 main articles of clothing: grey-blue jeans, navy collard or un-collard shirt and a grey pea coat. Now its time to break out the white face paint and hair gel.
Good luck with this, I suggest you look long and hard at pictures of Robert Pattinson before attempting to reconstruct it on your own head. Don’t be afraid to get into character at parties! Stick to dark corners that are ideal for teenage brooding and when speaking to others, never raise your voice above an evocative whisper.
Hair: Robert Pattinson/ Edward Cullen is known for those tousled up-brushed locks. To create this look, you will need to cover your hair in gel or mousse. Mess your hair and comb the front up and out. Allow the mouse to set and give your hair a once over spritz with hair spray. check out some of Roberts other looks over at coolmenshair.com
Wanna be Bellla? Bella can be as equally easy to dress up as with clothes from your own wardrobe. First of all you’ll need a pair of skinny jeans (brown corduroy or otherwise), a zip up jacket hoodie and a non descript t-shirt or tank-top. Bella isn’t as pale as Edward so go light, not white. Keep your hair straight at the top, but wavy at the bottom. A thin brown headband is optional, but don’t forget to bring along a tube of chap stick as the most crucial part of this costume is a bitten bottom lip (thanks KStew).
