Here is a list of my top ten most fashionable Halloween costume ideas:
1. Linda Evangelista
My favorite model of all time. PERIOD. Why not get into the Linda mood and attend your Halloween party by channeling the icon's many looks and change wigs throughout the evening? You can start out as the super adorable 80s Linda with the voluminous, feathery hair and transition your look with a multitude of wigs from her early 90s cropped coif, then pull out your page boy, your platinum blonde Marilyn Monroe number, your fire-hydrant red pompadour an the classic Linda bob.
2. David Bowie
Obviously. I have dresses as Bowie more times than I can remember. You can pick from so many of Bowie's signature looks; from Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, the late 90s Earthling to Labrynth.
3. Daphne Guinness
The heiress to the Guinness brewery and fashion muse, Daphne Guinness is a limitless source of inspiration to the world's greatest designers. Take some huge risks and let your inner Goth out to play.

4. Anna Piaggi
I always admired Anna Piaggi and loved her sense of flair and of course, COLOR. Wouldn't it be great to wear some amazing-crazy-colored wig, an adorably tiny top hat and a spectacular coat? Yes, please!
5. Donatella Versace
Who doesn't want to have fun in a long blonde wig ans wear the most glamorously seductive dress at the party?
6. Karl Lagerfeld
Get yourself an outfit consisting of either black or white shirt, trousers and jacket and add finger-less gloves, a fan, sunglasses and a grey ponytail wig and you're all set to be Lagerfeld. For advanced Halloween fashionistas, don't forget to speak a mile a minute. Even Roberto Cavalli dressed as Lagerfeld a few years ago!

Be-dazzled sunglasses, lots of skin or lots of feathers and fur are Anna Dello Russo's signature looks. Pair any of these with a long honey hued wig and you can feel like ADR for a day.
8. Madonna
With so many Gaga and Miley Cyrus costumes being planned this year, why not pay homage to the original Material Girl? With so many looks to choose from you can have fun and be as creative as you want to be.
9. Anna Wintour
Sandy bobbed wig with bangs- check. Sunglasses - check. Chanel Suit-check. This is pretty much all you need to master the Vogue editor's look.
10. Tim Gunn
The former instructor and chair of fashion design at Parsons turned TV host is the epitome of elegant masculinity. Work, work, work! (sorry, I had to)
