If you're going to dress up, go all out. These glamorous Halloween costume ideas give you a reason to buy that gorgeous dress you've been eyeing. Your everyday life may not offer you many chances to glam it up, so take advantage of the holiday. You'll feel like Cinderella at the ball-for a day, anyway.
Miss America
Put on your most glamorous dress for your triumphant walk down the runway. Make a silk sash with "Miss America" written down the front. Wear a silver tiara, and carry a huge bouquet of roses. Be sure to practice your wave.
Marilyn Monroe
Nothing says glamour quite like Marilyn Monroe. Wear a short blond wig, put on plenty of red lipstick and be sure to do up your eyes. Slip on a white halter dress similar to Monroe's famous dress, add some heels and you're ready to go.
1920s Flapper
Flapper dresses with long fringe bring back the glam from long ago. Add a coordinating feather boa and headband. Wear flapper shoes and a long, beaded necklace tied near the base. Carry a fringed handbag and a cigarette in a long holder.
Cinderella at the Ball
A pink ball gown with a wide skirt works great for this costume. Add hoops underneath to puff out the skirt. Wear white gloves and a black neckband. Pull long hair into an updo, or wear a Cinderella wig. Don't forget the glass slippers to complete your princess look.
Bride
An elegant bridal dress, complete with veil and bouquet, make for a nice costume that definitely has a glamorous feel. To add a little more Halloween flavor, go with a zombie bride for the scary glam look. Use face paint to create a zombie face, and paint your hair gray and black. Paint your nails black, and carry a bouquet of dead flowers.
Arabian Dancer
The see-through, flowing fabrics and sequined bands of an Arabian dancer costume gives you glam with an exotic flavor. Wear a wig with long, black hair. Line your eyes with heavy black liner. Finger cymbals add the final touch.
Sexy Devil
A form-fitting, sexy red dress creates the base for this glamorous Halloween look. Wear glossy, red high heels. Carry a velvet pitchfork rimmed in fake diamond studs. Add a devil's tail and horns, and you're prepared to seduce your victims to the netherworld.
Victorian Lady
Go for a more refined kind of elegance. While you may or may not want to wear a corset under your Victorian dress, depending on how much you enjoy breathing, top off your costume with a Victorian wig and a strand of pearls.
