How to Dress an Eleven-Year-Old Girl That Wants to Be Lady Gaga for Halloween
Lady Gaga is a pop singer whose look is much talked about and recreated by women and girls of all ages. A Lady Gaga Halloween costume can be toned down to work for a younger Little Monster. Instead of saying your daughter can't dress as Lady Gaga, help make her a costume that pays tribute to her pop idol without looking inappropriate for her age.

Add bling to a basic black dance leotard. Lady Gaga typically wears leotards and bodysuits -- anything but pants -- but this can be made tasteful for a young girl. Use fabric glue or a glue gun to add small mirrors or large silver sequins all over the leotard. Have her pull on tights before she puts on the leotard.

Put a blond wig on your 11-year-old. Lady Gaga has had hair of all different lengths, but it is usually platinum blond. One of her most famous looks involves a blond bow made out of hair. This can also be purchased and worn by a young girl and is unmistakeably Gaga.

Put some makeup on your daughter. Lady Gaga's look is very dramatic, with heavy black eye makeup and hot pink or red lipstick. Lip gloss can be put over the lipstick to add some shine, and glitter powder can be dusted over your 11-year-old's face for a shimmery finish.

Slip on a Mardi Gras mask. Buy one or make your own with craft foam and sequins.

Put some shiny gloves on your daughter. They can be made out of just about anything -- even lacy ones would work. They should be black, and can be any length.

Add accessories. Load your child up with anything sparkly and shiny, such as earrings and bracelets.

Finish the look with some black boots. The higher they are the better, but anything in your 11-year-old's closet will work. Now she will just have to work on some song lyrics to belt out throughout the night.
