Zac Posen channels his inner blood sucker
Proenza Schouler channels inner geekiness and Charlie Chaplin
Petra Nemcova channels the Egyptian goddess within
Roberto Cavalli channels Karl Lagerfeld
So if you still don’t have a Halloween costume, hope that this gives you a few ideas…

The celebrities are starting to have their Halloween parties — I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of lame costumes over the next week, but I think Gwen Stefani could almost pull off her sunny-side-up egg as a regular dress.

Although I’ve been over this for quite some time, the approaching Halloween festivities have conjured sour feelings towards this trend. “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” Even though Mean Girls is a beacon of light and truth, I have to disagree with this statement. I can say something about it. If I see one more sexy cop, slutty firefighter or naughty nurse this year, I am going to flip out and start throwing cold cuts at the wearer. The point of Halloween is to try your very hardest to dress exactly like someone or something else. I know it’s an easy way out for amateurs, but most often, the skanktastic garb doesn’t make sense. I have never seen a bumblebee showing her hoo-ha to everyone in the hive. But if dressing to show skin is what you really desire, allow me to make some suggestions on which costumes would realistically look fab showing a little more leg.
Burlesque dancer: Becoming very hip again on the nightlife circuit, this costume is fun and sexy. Wear some high-class lingerie, fishnets and carry a cane. But make sure you are going to an indoor party; this one could get chilly.
Cave woman: Real ancient cave dwellers wore skimpy buckskins, animal bones and no shoes. Get a tetanus shot prior to trick or treating and watch out for nails.
Baby: The ultimate leg-baring character, this costume requires a diaper, bib and binky. Fill a bottle with cocktail of choice and you’re good to go.
