Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga has taken the nation's radio stations by storm. Her bizarre and radical sense of style makes her a great muse for a special Halloween costume. With Gaga, anything goes! For a basic costume, start with a bleach blonde wig. Lady Gaga has got to wear goggles, so find your biggest, most ridiculous pair of sunglasses or a costume-ball mask. As for clothes, slip into something tight, like a bright leotard or cocktail dress. Puff up the sleeves and attach a dramatic triangle that has been spray painted and cut from cardboard to the top front of your outfit. Finish the look with some intense makeup in bright shades.
Antoine Dodson

Antoine Dodson became an instant YouTube celebrity after a video surfaced of his dramatic speech and gestures while on his local news. The autotune of his "Bed Intruder Song" became a top seller on iTunes. To look like Dodson, head to the store and buy a black ribbed tank top and a red bandana. For a more authentic look, buy a curly dark wig. With this getup, some exaggerated movements while talking and a little forceful shaking of a newspaper, you can look just like this Internet sensation.

Tourist
-
If you're not in the mood for shopping, you probably have most of the makings for a tourist costume in your closet already. Simply don a Hawaiian shirt or touristy T-shirt, such as the I Heart NY variety, and some Bermuda shorts. Find the biggest camera you can or make a fake one from a cardboard box. A visor and fanny pack will make you a truly convincing tourist. Finally, complete your getup with some maps, brochures and tickets.
John Belushi
-
The image of John Belushi in his "College" sweatshirt is printed on the posters that adorn many a college wall. To look like you are from National Lampoon's "Animal House," simply purchase a navy blue crew neck sweatshirt. With some patience, an iron and some iron-on letters, you can make your sweatshirt boast the word "College" across the front. Finish the look with some messy hair and a plaid shirt underneath.
