How to Be Barbra Streisand for Halloween

Dress up like the iconic Barbra Streisand for Halloween.

Barbra Streisand has had an amazing career as a singer and actress, and continues to be one of the most recognizable and famous celebrities in the world. These factors are perfect criteria for a memorable Halloween costume. Elegance and glamor will get you jump started on your Barbra Streisand costume. But be sure to bring Streisand's confidence and justified diva status to your homemade costume.

Instructions

1. Don a blond, straight, bobbed wig. Although Streisand has had numerous hairstyles and lengths, her just-past-the-shoulders cut has become a signature style.

2. Wear sparkling, diamond-like jewelry. Earrings and statement necklaces are a must.

3. Keep the makeup subtle and natural, but accent your eyes. Line with black liquid eyeliner, and wing the line slightly for definition. For extra-dramatic eyes, apply fake eyelashes.

4. Wear a long gown. Streisand is especially fond of glittery, sequined dresses or elegant black gowns.

5. Apply long acrylic nails, either store-bought or professionally done.

6. Carry around a microphone as a prop to solidify the Streisand look.
