How to Dress Like Bella Swan for Halloween
The Bella Swan character in the "Twilight" saga spends a great deal of her time sporting casual jeans and tops, offering Twi-fans the ability to easily imitate her wardrobe for a costume party or an evening of trick-or-treating. But rather than donning Bella's daily wear, you can create a costume that imitates her first birthday party at the Cullen home.

Purchase Bella's St. Jude bracelet and the sterling silver cuff bracelet with an oval piece of turquoise in the middle. These are available at online stores, such as Amazon.com. You can make an imitation of the St. Jude bracelet at home with rectangular black wooden beads and an elastic string. If you cannot copy the pictures on the bracelet, add a light colored sticker to each bead instead.

Wear a long brunette wig. If you are already a brunette with long hair, wash your hair and apply a styling mousse throughout. Blow dry your hair while hanging your head upside down and then use a straight iron to smooth out your hair with a slight side part. Use a 1-inch curling iron on the ends to curl them inward. Back comb underneath the crown for some volume. Add a thin black headband for her birthday party costume.
