Want to give the fake blood a miss this Halloween? Fancy dress now goes way beyond zombies and witches, and you can use Halloween as an excuse to dress like your favourite fashion blogger or designer. After all the front row outfits can often be a little, well, costumey. Here are some front-row worthy costume ideas...
-
Anna Wintour
Kim Kardashian and Bryan Boy have both dressed as Anna Wintour. You'll need some dark sunglasses, a wig (or very straight hair) and a Starbucks cup. If you can't stretch to new season Prada, wear something floral and remember to practice your terrifying one-liners.
-
Bill Cunningham
If you're looking for an easy costume, why not go as New York street style photographer Bill Cunningham. You'll need a blue rain jacket, khaki trousers and a camera. Remember you have to arrive to parties on your bike. Bill doesn't do Uber.
-
Karl Lagerfeld
The likes of Dermot O'Leary and Roberto Cavalli have all rocked a silver pony tail on October 30. Turn to Karl Lagerfeld's own collection for his signature accessories. Extra points if you can convince a friend to dress as Choupette.
-
Grace Coddington
This is an easy option all you'll need is some aggressive back-brushing and some orange hair spray.
-
Iris Apfel
The key to this costume is piling on every piece of jewellery you own. Warning: by the end of the night your wrists might hurt.
-
Cara Delevingne
Any of the following will help turn you into a Delevingne - a beanie, temporary tattoos, a onesie and high-tops. See Kate Moss' Cara costume from last year for inspiration.
-
The Fat Jewish
You might not think of the Fat Jewish as a 'fashion person' - but he showed at New York this season and is becoming a front row fixture. You'll need hairspray and several hair ties to get your hair to stand up that tall. As for accessories, you'll need a can of beer and a slice of pizza.
-
A fashion blogger
For this you'll need an outfit perfect for peacocking, an SLR and to take a lot of #OOTD selfies. To make it really AW15, wear your hair in a hun.
-
The 'before' Andie Sachs
To really nail this outfit you'll need to find a baggy cerulean blue cable knit and a tray of Starbucks.
