Halloween is almost here, so ladies look no further for some of the best costume ideas. Twilight fans can rejoice, as vampires are very much a popular costume idea for October 31st. Vampires are sleek, sexy, ultra stylish, and have an allure that captivates all. You can piece together an ensemble consisting of high heels or boots, a top with a plunging neckline, topped off with an eye catching necklace. Don’t forget to wear some fangs in your mouth for an extra touch. Old fashioned, heavily decorated bodices or corsets are a great touch to a vampire costume, paired with a Victorian looking skirt – very fetching.

Classy ladies can celebrate their love of all things couture by dressing up as a retro pin-up girl, or a flapper. Retro girls have all the fun, and you can enjoy teasing or styling your hair in pin curls, tresses framing the face, and flashy costume jewelry to accent your curves. Cocktail rings and sparkling bracelets make for great accessories to your look. Channel the spirit of Marilyn Monroe, Betty Page, and Marlene Dietrich. Remember to capture the style of old Hollywood starlets, and let your imagination run wild. Make sure to apply smooth flawless makeup, pouty red lips, feather boas, and everything is fabulous darling.

Zombies make a great costume for ladies that like things a little more casual, and don’t mind having an occasional beer with the boys. You can pretty much wear anything you want, adding rips and tears here and there. You can opt to put in some freaky looking contact lenses that white out your eye, and definitely don’t forget to add lots of gashes, stitches, and blood around your face and limbs. Smoky black eyes shadow and powder around eyes makes them appear more deep set in your face, adding ghoulish appeal. An application of green face paint or white powder will help shape your image as a formidable lady of the living dead. You can also use fake skin and apply it to your face and body to make for a more gore filled look, or carry a fake appendage that looks like it’s been gnawed on.

Dressing up as a nurse is a classic Halloween costume that offers a fierce sultry look. Nurse costumes are perfect for ladies wanting to put a more gothic spin on their look. You can dress up a nurse outfit with a mask spotted with blood, carry syringe as an accessory, or opt for wearing a gas mask. You can even combine a zombie look with your nurse, or go for the typical white nurse outfit. Nurse outfits are available in cotton, vinyl or PVC in neon colors, so there is room for versatility than just a plain white nurse uniform.
