Be a Halloween Rockstar

If you've waited until the last minute to make your Halloween costume, here are some ideas to make your Halloween rocker costume dreams come to life!

Normally I reallllly procrastinate on my Halloween costumes and am definitely the person scrapping together my costume hours before I need it. Because of this, I have had some interesting (aka bad) costumes. I always like the idea of being something really epic or cute for Halloween, but somehow I always end up being things like a shrimp, lion, or ewok (except ewoks are awesome.) . I want you to have an killer costume this year so I have compiled my favorite rockstar ideas for your last minute costume.

Since you are a musician, I assume you probably have the following lying around the house somewhere:

Leather pants
A single earring with a feather
A fro and a top hat
A scarf collection
Some tall stompy boots
Some round glasses that have yellow/ pink/ blue lenses
Something leopard print

Ok here we go!

Simon and Garfunkel

Feel groovy and live your ‘70’s dreams with these Simon and Garfunkel costumes. All you need is a cool blazer and if you already have a blonde fro you’re in business!

Kiss

If you are reading this, I bet you are a rockstar and already have an endless supply of studded jackets and rhinestone belts, so this one should be easy.

‘90s Shania

Ok let’s be real, I would be Shania most days of the year. All you need is a leopard hoodie for this one tho!

Aqualung

Do you go for costumes in which no one will know what/ who you are! Try this ole classic! It will be like a test of your friends’ knowledge of 70’s progressive rock!

Jimi Hendrix

Be one of my fav guitarists!

Green Day (circa early 2000’s)

Live your sad boy dreams and pull out the guy-liner (or just normal eyeliner if you are a female) with these Green Day costumes!

Lady Gaga

This one wouldn’t really be last minute (unless you are a sewing wizard!) but it would be EPIC!

Stevie Nicks

SHE’S SO COOL. Just get some black flowy things and you’re set.

Slash and Axel (Guns ‘N Roses)

I tried to be Slash this year and couldn’t find a hat that fit ma head!

Twenty One Pilots

Red hair dye
Clip-on earrings
Red eye shadow
Done and done.

Blink-182

I’m pretty sure I used to have the girl version of this Hurley shirt in Jr. High. So classic.

Other ideas:

-Prince

-David Bowie

-Def Leppard

-Twisted Sister

-Joni Mitchell
