10 Best Celebrity Halloween Costumes

4. Britney Spears, Kevin Federline, and the kids: To ape Britney’s “country” look, wear a teased blonde wig and big sunglasses. Chew a big wad of gum and tie a baby to your hip with a seatbelt strap. Cheetos and Red Bull are optional. Your K-Fed companion should don a rapper-wannabe outfit (complete with tilted baseball cap), and hold a blanket-swaddled doll with a little matching tilted baseball cap. “K-Fed” should be ready to rap on command, if asked nicely.

5. Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, and alien baby: L. Ron Hubbard, eat your heart out. If Scientologists believe we all come from aliens, then there is at least one new extra-terrestrial on the planet: Suri Cruise! Throw some “Risky Business” sunglasses on your man, wrap a “Lilo and Stitch” alien doll in a baby blanket and you’re all set. Make sure he dips you and kisses you a lot that night.

6. Mel Gibson and Paris Hilton: DUIers unite! These two learned the hard way that you should never drink and drive. This costume merely requires a vacuous blonde starlet (wig + tight dress + brain vacuum), a Scottish rebel (unkempt hair + kilt + sword), and handcuffs for both. Anti-Semitic rants and Lindsay Lohan put-downs are optional.

7. Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger: Love to fight? This costume may be perfect for you: these two have spent ages in court arguing over the custody of little Ireland. Prop yourselves with a long-armed baby doll to play tug-of-war with, and you’re all set. Scream some insults at each other for effect.

Old Hollywood is sweeter, sappier and much more refined. Air kisses and curtsies are required if you opt to dress as one of these fictional couples.
