5 Times Celebrities Nailed Their Halloween Costume

October 30, 2015 By Anne Burwell Leave a Comment

When you’re a famous entertainment industry celebrity it gets even harder to impress people with your Halloween costume, because they expect you to be out of this world on a day to day basis. I mean, hey, sometimes they dress-up as you!

So when a celebrity does decide to show-up costumed for Halloween, the pressure is higher and the task at hand more arduous than when Hercules fought the mythical Hydra. Because his Hydra didn’t have millions of heads as the figurative hydra of fans has.

Everything must be perfect to the tiniest detail, both regarding the clothing items that make up the costume itself and the attitude of the wearer, who must project the vibe of whatever he/she costumed as. The fact that we’re talking about actors and singers who are used to the stage and shifting their image, does help, granted.

But the fact remains that it’s no easy task to have your every action, including a fun fooling around on a special night like Halloween, scrutinized by countless avid eyes.

Which makes the 5 times celebrities nailed their Halloween costume rightfully impressive. And I do mean nailed it! Credit where credit is due.

1. Ed Sheeran – Austin Powers

5 times celebrities nailed their Halloween costume - Ed Sheeran

They’re both British. But that’s about all they have in common. To go from acclaimed pop-folk singer (Sheeran) to woman-crazed, overly-confident despite being ridiculous, time displaced hippie spy is surely no easy task. Especially when Austin Powers practically defines the term flamboyant even when not moving a muscle. But Ed pulled it off in 2014, before a show. Yes, he proceeded to play in costume.

2. Beyonce Knowles – Storm

Beyonce Knowles made one of the 5 times celebrities nailed their Halloween costume happen.

Another popular singer, this time the transformation was towards a super-heroine, the equally popular Storm from X-men. Come to think about it, as the super-heroine of many young African-American girls and a positive storm whenever she goes on stage, it kinda fits as a metaphor. Anyway, on October 25 this year, at Ciara’s birthday party, which was Halloween themed in anticipation of the holiday, Beyonce struck everyone into amazement. With lightning that is, as Storm.

3. Guy Ritchie & Son – Heisenberg & Jesse Pinkman

The list of 5 times celebrities nailed their Halloween costume includes Guy Ritchie and son.

While people would have expected (and probably dissed) film director Guy Ritchie to break some people’s will and/or bodies as a charismatic English mobster like those in the famous “Lock, stock and two smoking barrels” movie shot under his guidance, not many expected him to break out even badder and pull off such a good impersonation of “Breaking Bad”‘s protagonist Heisenberg and his sidekick Jesse Pinkman in 2014 at the UNICEF UK Halloween Ball, London. And with his son as Jesse, no less. His cool, casual appreciation of his colleagues’ work, the directors of the series, is also worth noting in an industry sometimes marked by petty feuds. 

4. Iggy Azalea – Cruella De Vil

Iggy Azalea cruel? Hard to say without actually hanging out with her. But she doesn’t seem like the Dalmatian torturing kind. Or a hag with a veneer of civilization. Which is why her appearance as one of Disney’s most popular villain’s (and several generations of dog loving children’s bitter nemesis) was eye-catching at Vevo’s Halloween party in 2013. She sure looks the part. Including bringing her own Dalmation along. We can only hope that looks were all there was to it and it wasn’t the last night the poor creature was seen.

5.  Rihanna – Raphael

The list of 5 times celebrities nailed their Halloween costume includes Rihanna

If you think there’s an incongruity in Hawaiian born rebel Rihanna going Galapagos turtle, think again. Galapagos turtle that is. As in, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (assuming they were Galapagos turtles to begin with, which seems to be the case), to be more exact. Which Rihanna did when she showed up as Raphael, one of the four famous Ninja Turtles. And to explain why there’s no incompatibility between Rihanna and Raphael, a quote from Wikipedia describing the latter: “The team’s bad boy, Raphael wears a dark red mask and wields a pair of sai. He is physically very strong, has an aggressive nature, and seldom hesitates to throw the first punch. He is often depicted with a New York accent. His personality can be fierce and sarcastic, and oftentimes delivers deadpan humor. He is intensely loyal to his brothers and sensei.” Yup, sounds legit.

The Worst Fancy Dress Outfits Ever Worn

May 3, 2014 By This Blog Rules Guest Leave a Comment

Have you ever gone to a fancy dress party in an outfit you weren’t entirely convinced to wear? Don’t worry. You couldn’t have looked anywhere near as bad as the people wearing the worst fancy dress outfits ever.

The Bad Simpsons Outfit

The Worst Fancy Dress Outfits Ever Worn

Good Lord, what have these people done to themselves? They have obviously taken a lot of time over their Simpsons outfits and put a lot of thought into them. However, they just look awful.

The Sponge Bob Jellyfish Character Outfit

The Worst Fancy Dress Outfits

This is a character from Sponge Bob who I think is a jellyfish. So how would you dress yourself up to look like a cartoon jellyfish? Err; you wouldn’t just put traffic cones on various parts of your body, would you?

The Weird Robocop Costume

The Worst Fancy Dress Outfits Ever Worn

Ah, back in the innocent days of 1987, Robocop offered us a scary glimpse into the cold, hard future. Personally, I was terrified that unhinged law enforcement androids would one day blow me away like a common perp. Thankfully, the bad fancy dress outfit we can see here is unlikely to give nightmares to anyone other than the person who wonders where all their oven trays have gone.

The Royal Wedding Costume

Worst Fancy Dress Outfits It is traditional for many runners in the London Marathon to wear some sort of strange fancy dress costume. The royal wedding was a bit of a theme this year but this one is just awful. I can’t imagine what it must be like to run 26 miles with a weird Kate dummy hanging off you and a frankly bizarre William mask on.

The Banana Outfit

The Worst Fancy Dress Outfits

So, you want to go down a storm at the office party, do you? Here’s a great way to get your bosses to notice you and think, “Now there’s a young man with taste, discretion and a sharp sense of humour.” Actually, correct me if I’m wrong here but few careers have been built on the back of dressing up as a vaguely obscene banana. Strange fruit costumes in general are best avoided.

The Ku Klux Klan Kostume

The Worst Fancy Dress Outfits Ever Worn

A mother really thought that it was a decent idea to send her kid out dressed up as a Ku Klux Klan member. To be honest, sticking a few traffic cones on him and making him look vaguely like a cartoon jellyfish would probably have been a better idea.

The Mental Patient Costume

The Worst Fancy Dress Outfits

Someone at the UK supermarket chain called Asda thought that it would be a smart move to sell a mental patient fancy dress costume. It seems that they genuinely didn’t expect people to be upset or offended by this. In the end, the public outcry meant that they had to stop selling it.

The Pingu Fancy Dress Outfit

Worst Fancy Dress OutfitsI used to love Pingu as a kid. Actually, there’s not much point in trying to fool you. I hated the weird little dude with the big flippers and the annoying lifestyle. However, if I could find a decent Pingu outfit then maybe I would like to dress up as him at some point. Hmm, it’s not going to be this outfit though, is it? It’s just utterly foolish and for me the icing in the cake is the bottle of detergent he seems to have strapped to his foot as a flipper.

Top 10 Halloween Costume Ideas

September 18, 2012 By This Blog Rules Guest 1 Comment

Halloween Costumes

September begins and school kids and adults alike skip to planning for the next fun holiday – Halloween.  A quick online glance at the new trends for Halloween costumes indicates that you may well see a good number of last year’s Angry Birds, back again for a repeat (and with a better costume).  Also on the up and coming list, Avengers costumes, Merida (Disney’s Brave), and new additions to the Monster’s High costume selection.

2012 Halloween Costume Trends

Here are our best guesses for what to expect in 2012 Halloween Costume Trends

1.  Dress up as Obama/Romney political posers. Obama Mask

This happens every four years where parents take it upon themselves to dress their kids as a political character in order to “campaign” door to door as they trick or treat.  It can be cute.  Or just weird.  And it can definitely be annoying.  Even if you don’t see many of these political costumes out and about, you’ll notice them for sure, and much like the presidential election, it could be scary.

2.  The Avengers Halloween Costumes.

As mentioned above, this one is just too easy.  Kids will be dressing up as the Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, and so on and so forth.  Even the women can get in the action with the Avengers Black Widow Costume.  It’s easy. And looks pretty good.

3. Angry Birds Costume.

Last year was for the birds, with a lot of home made Angry Bird costumes, but few in the stores.  This means there may be some latent, repressed birders out there willing to don the costume.  Yellow and red mostly (click here for the Angry Birds Red Costume), and available for boys and girls.

4.  Disney Princess | Disney Brave Merida Costume.

This one never gets old, and this year we have Disney’s Merida the Brave Costume out and about for sale.  Very cute and in a number of sizes.  It would be cute for the big sister, especially if you can convince a few younger siblings to dress up as the bratty bears/brothers.

5. Batman Themed Halloween Costume.

There are likely going to be a number of  Batman Begins Costumes and Catwoman Costumes out and about, especially at the adult parties this year.   Sexy Catwoman costumes abound. . .

Homemade Halloween Costumes

6. Dress up as London Olympics Medal Winners.

Options abound as to what you might want to wear – speedos, gymnastics outfits, and tracksuits, are just some of the options.  Throw a handmade gold medal around your neck and your an Olympian.

7. Adult Fifty Shades of Grey Costume.

Dress up as a clueless college student and/or a ruggedly handsome millionaire.   Grab some handcuffs, and you’re fully costumed as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. This one is adult-only.

8. Hunger Games for Halloween.

Put on a frayed black outfit (remember, you’re poor), brown leather jacket and grab a bow and arrow for a prop and you’re all set to be Katniss Everdeen (don’t forget to braid your hair!)

9. Pregnant Snookie Costume

Jersey up your hair, spray on some fake tan, grab a pillow and dress up as a pregnant Snookie.

10. Dress up as Twilight characters Bella/Edward OR Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson

Dress up as a, angsty and remorseful Kristen Stewart (all black outfit and sad face)?  Or a pregnant, glowing, Bella.  Even better, you can go as Vampiric Edward or rebound Pattinson.  There must be a Pattinson mask out there somewhere.  Of course, either way, you are only slightly less of a Twihard than the YouTube fan who sobbed out her devastation at Kristen’s cheating ways.
