Need costume ideas for this Halloween? Her Campus BU has got you covered. This article is one of three, which give you some ideas for what you should dress as this October 31st, depending on your hair color.
1. Kim Kardashian
You’ll need a tight, leopard-print dress, a padded butt (unless you’re naturally blessed with a booty like Kim’s), killer heels, and lots of bling. Style your hair in either long waves or a tight up-do, and add Kanye for a great couples costume for 2012!

2. Katniss Everdeen
You’ll need a side French braid, a bow and arrow, her signature mockingjay pin, a black t-shirt, cargo pants, and combat boots. This costume is basically an army costume with a twist- wear a cropped t-shirt and heeled boots to give the look a sexy edge.

3. Wonder Woman
You’ll need blue high-waisted shorts with white stars (or underwear if you’re feeling brave), a red bustier with gold accents (which you can easily apply yourself with fabric paint), a gold belt, gold cuff bracelets, a gold headband, and red knee-high boots. This classic costume is easy to recreate without spending big bucks. Wear black or sheer tights under your shorts to stay warm!

4. Rihanna (2012)
You’ll need to sport her current pixie cut- a wig will do the trick- and try copying one of her recent looks. One look includes knee-high snakeskin boots, a baggy black graphic tank, and tight black shorts with red lipstick and giant hoop earrings. Then there’s her outfit from the iHeart Radio Music Festival: black sneakers, a black fitted cap, dark purple lipstick, and a black and gold jersey—no pants—but I would wear spandex shorts underneath! Or you could sport her outfit from the 2012 World Cup concert: a two-piece ensemble with a crazy pattern of animal prints, neon, and symbols. When copying one of Rihanna’s many daring looks, it is crucial that you include her signature tattoos- she has 19 of them!

5. Catwoman (Selina Kyle)
You’ll need a leather cat-suit, black leather boots, a black belt, black mask, black cat ears, long black gloves, and red lipstick. Optional: fake gun.

6. Pregnant Snooki
This costume is easy, because it is basically the classic Snooki costume-hair pouf, tight animal print dress, glittery heels, fake nails- but this time add a baby bump! You can use a balloon, a pillow, a sweatshirt- get creative! Add blonde, red, or pink hairpieces to further snookify your look!
