Cady Heron Costume Idea
“It’s not my fault you’re, like, in love with me or something.”
If you don’t have a red Henley Shirt and a pair of boot cut jeans in your closet, you can *easily* get Cady’s outfit for your next Halloween party. For her hair, it was important for our Cady-look-alike to have side-swept straight bangs, while the rest of her hair was voluminous with beachy curls. To get this look, we used a curling wand to wrap small pieces of hair at a time and pull them out for a loose curl effect. Next, we scrunched with hairspray to add volume to her roots, then straightened her bangs and tucked them behind her ear with a bobby pin. As for Cady’s makeup, it was all about the eyeliner, baby! For our other mean girls, we applied soft smokey eyes with bright-pink blush, and of course, LOTS of lip gloss.
Regina George Halloween Costume
“Why are you so obsessed with me?”
For Regina’s outfit, we nabbed a pleated pink skirt and pink cardigan. Pair these pieces with a white tee and you’re set — heels optional! You MAY have the outfit, but do you have the attitude?
Karen Smith Mean Girls Costume
“It’s like I have ESPN or something. My breasts can always tell when it’s going to rain. Well…they can tell when it’s raining.”
To achieve Karen’s style, it takes just a little DIY love. Find a pink pullover sweater and a navy bow. Sew the bow on the shoulder and match it with a pink mini skirt. Next thing you know, you’ll be able to predict the weather.
The Plastics Halloween Costume For Gretchen Weiners
”I’m sorry that people are so jealous of me, but I can’t help it that I’m popular.”
You can look like Gretchen with a little handmade work. Buy a brown mini skirt and some cream colored felt. Cut the felt into strips and glue them on to match the pattern of Gretchen’s skirt.
Damn, these chicks are looking fierce AF. Beware of the Plastics! We don’t know about you, but these costumes are SO FETCH (and easy to create). No matter which Mean Girls costume idea you choose to go with (when in doubt, you can also grab a hoodie and a pair of black sunglasses — "She doesn't even go here!"), remember to have fun!
