Watching Ugly Betty

If you haven’t yet finalized your Halloween custome the Ugly Betty way might be just what you need! Read on for some Ugly Betty costume ideas. For anyone that actually dresses up like an Ugly Betty cast member or just gets inspired by the show send me the photos I would love to feature them on this site, either kids or adults. Remember to Have a Very Happy Halloween and for those of you who don’t celebrate the holiday enjoy the fact that Friday is half-way here already!

Dress like Betty: Betty (America Ferrera) is sweet and adorable but her fashion don’ts make for Halloween glee. The Essential Betty look needs a Dark Brown or Black face framing long wig with bangs, large “cat eye” glasses with red trim, and some fake braces. Pick clothing that is loud and demands attention, by mixing different prints together. A typical Betty outfit wil feature a blouse, sweater vest and pencil skirt. Shop for items at least a size to large to get the dowdy look. Look in vintage clothing stores and popular department stores for retro 70’s and “80’s styles.”

Alternate Betty outfits: Go as a colorblind Butterfly like Betty did last Halloween or theirs also the Betty poncho look.

Tip: Remember to use eyeliner to make your eyebrows look thick and bushy. Go take out the items you’re hiding in the back of your closet that you’re hoping will one day come back in style… they never will, Halloween is your only chance to wear them!

Hints on dressing like other Ugly Betty stars

Henry: The “geek” look that Henry (Christopher Gorham) wears is fashions hottest trend. All it takes is slacks, dress shirt, sweater vest and tie. What makes the look special is the slicked back hair and large framed glasses. Instead of dressing office Herny try Henry as a Knight from Season 1 who comes to Betty’s rescue or the Cowboy from the Season 2 premiere.

Wilhelmina: Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams) does not do cheap! Green eye contacts, a shoulder length brown wig with lighter blondish highlights, big hoop earrings and a fierce couture dress and fabolous high heels!

Fabia: The arch rival of Wilhelmina, Fabia (Gina Gershon) would make great fun for Halloween. Hold a miniature dog and puff your lips up to fake collagen injections, and suck in your checks for that fresh plastic surgery look. Don’t forget a long curly wig with bleached blonde hair and add costume jewlery to complete the look. For the clothes choose something fashionable but too tight and lower cut Fabia likes attention!

* Their are lots more choices for last minute Halloween outfits, including some great American Idol ideas. Whatever you do this Halloween remeber to stay safe!
