About this costume
Black and white glamour, full technicolor drama - this vintage Hollywood Halloween costume idea is for adults who want a glamorous costume with a wink of comedy built in. A sequin flapper dress and exaggerated lash makeup make it one of the most photogenic costumes in the whole catalog.
DIY this look
This vintage Hollywood costume idea leans entirely on makeup and posture, which makes it a genuinely easy Halloween costume to pull off well.
- Wear the sequin flapper dress with a long strand of pearls if you have them.
- Apply the dramatic lash kit and keep the rest of the makeup simple - the lashes carry the look.
- Practice one dramatic, frozen pose - this costume is about the photo as much as the outfit.
- Hold the title-card prop for at least one shot each party.
