In three weeks I have to dress like a recognizable celebrity. The theme is red carpet something which makes me think that dressing like a TV character like Ugly Betty wouldn''t work because America Ferrera doesn''t have braces and red glasses...


I''m 5''8 with auburn hair. I am open to wear almost anything to really participate in this event. I''m going with three other gals who don''t have a clue what they''re doing either and with our different shapes and heights we can''t get a good group theme organized either.


Any suggestions?
ps: I bet there''s a lot of Marilyn Monroes and Audrey Hepburns because they''re so easy.

How about stepping out of the box and going as Lucy or Maureen O''hara??

Susan Sarandon?
 
I could see you pulling off Sophia Loren. She was gorgeous and you could do a fun vintage thing. Rawr!
 
How about J-Lo?
 
Looking at your pic I can see you could easily dress glamouously and look great but how about Amy Winehouse? She could be a fun one that would be instantly recognizable.
 
Alison Janey!
 
You''re gorgeous! If I were you, I would get a dark brown wig and do Angelina. Wear all black, tall heels and huge sunglasses. You could even carry a doll (or three!), unless it''s a work thing, then I would leave out that part.
 
In the past I''ve always used Kevyn Aucoin''s book "Face Forward" as inspiration for these kinds of parties. In his book he takes celebrities and transforms them with makeup to look like classic movie stars. This is a link to some of the pictures in his book. Some ideas from the book are:

-Bette Davis
-Carol Lombard
-Veronica Lake
-Ava Gardner
-Audrey Hepburn
-Marilyn Monroe
-Elizabeth Taylor
-Sophia Loren, you''d look great as her!
-Julie Christie
-Faye Dunaway
-Raquel Welch

I''ve went to one as Elizabeth Taylor, it was so fun! I wish I had pictures. It''d help if you could get your hands on a copy, there are some amazing tips in it! Good luck :)
 
Some of these are great suggestions!!! I''d love to pull off Maureen or Allison it''s just that it makes it harder when there isn''t an iconic look that helps clue you in. Sophia Lauren would definitely be Rawwrrrr especially if I were willing to wear lingerie haha. Would I wear an all white pant suit? Amy Winehouse would be fun - drawing all over my body in ink pen! J-Lo hmm I could take scraps of green gauze and make a dress... Angelina - I could overly exaggerate my lipstick...
 
I think you could do Sophia Loren in a 50s style halter dress...maybe with gloves? As long as you were displaying cleavage, I don''t think you''d have to go for the lingerie look.

I found some inspiration pictures!

If you have some serious guts, you could pull off Lady Gaga! Not really sure where you''d find the costume though.

Your facial shape also resembles that of Julia Louise Dreyfus (Elaine on Seinfeld), though you''re a bit tall for the role...does/should that matter?
 
Cher.


A midriff top, long palazzo pants...think Bob Mackie over the top.
 
Gwen Stefani! That would be fun!

itta..
 
JLo would be fun. Get a fake bootie, some big fake bling, hair slicked back, eye makeup and pale lips the way she does.

Angelina Jolie is another good one. Get a baby sling with a doll, lol, wig, maybe those wax lips...
 
you and your pals could go as the kardashian sisters(3) and their mom
