Halloween is fast approaching, and we have one costume on our mind: Britney Spears. In celebration of the 00’s icon’s conservatorship suspension, we’ve put together 4 DIY Halloween costume ideas so that you too can feel like the princess of pop.
*Plays Toxic on repeat*
Every 90s baby wanted to look like Spears, a noughties fashion icon, and two decades on, nothing has changed!
With news of lifted conservatorship ruling, what better time to channel your inner Britney?
Oops!… I did it again.
Name something more iconic than Spears’ red catsuit in Oops!… I did it again. We’ll wait.
Want to get the look? Let’s break it down.
First and foremost, you’ll need to bag yourself a red catsuit of some sort. We’ve found a piece that is super similar to the costume in the MV. Shop on Amazon here.
Pair with some black boots or sneakers, and you’re good to go.
Next up? Let’s work out how to do Britney’s signature blonde hair ‘do. If you’re not blonde, you can purchase a wig here. If you are blonde, part your hair into a side-comb-over and keep it sleek and straight.
Add some light blue eyeshadow to the look, and voila, Britney Spears realness.
