Rock Star Costume Ideas



Are you ready to rock out with the best of them? I've include 3 famous singers of all time, Eleton John, Lady Gaga, and of course Steven Tyler. Here's how to put such a musical costume together:

Elton John



Feeling old school? Show your respect for this classic singer-songwriter by dressing up as him for Halloween. For this costume, you can be as fancy and outrageous or as subdued as you'd like, since honestly Elton has worn just about everything.

Try a leopard-print suit if you want to recall the 70's, and maybe something a bit more conservative if you're going for modern Elton. It really depends on what era you'd like to go with, but just don't forget a pair of crazy glasses.

Lady Gaga



Lady Gaga makes for a great costume because she is such a visual artist and wears all kinds of crazy costumes herself. If you want to go for a simpler look, take a look at her earlier work. Throw on some zebra print and paint a blue lightning bolt on your face.

If you want to go for something crazier, take inspiration from her Telephone video and dress in nothing but some caution tape and cigarette glasses. If you're not afraid of PETA (or the smell), you can go all-out and string together a meat dress. But in the end, anything goes with Lady Gaga.

Steven Tyler



A true rock star, you'll do best to pick Steven Tyler as your costume if you're somewhat emaciated like him. Grab a pair of skinny jeans and a long, flowy shirt that you can allow to hang open, exposing your sparse chest hairs and just the slight imprint of your ribs.

Silk shirts and shirts with leopard or zebra print are ideal. To complete the look, throw on some beaded necklaces and grab a microphone with a pained look on your face. These are just a few examples of what you might want to go for this Halloween. Just remember that no matter what you do, creativity is what's going to win you the most points.
