Lana Del Rey has spent her career dressing like a film still, which makes her a gift to anyone putting a costume together. Her looks swing between Old Hollywood gowns, road-trip Americana, retro resort wear, coquette bows and plain jeans with a white tee. The forty ideas below come from her album covers, videos, stage shows, red carpets and off-duty days, turned into outfits you can build yourself. In my experience, the trick is to pick one strong clue and let big hair and a black wing do the rest. You won't need designer clothes or an exact copy; thrifted dresses, closet basics, costume jewelry and a few craft supplies get you there for far less.

Teasing a Retro Bouffant That Holds Until Midnight
Almost every Lana costume depends on the hair: height at the crown, a smooth top layer and big soft waves underneath. It's the part people skip, and it's the part that makes a white dress read as her. I do it in this order.
- Curl second-day hair or a heat-resistant wig in large sections, rolling each curl back up and pinning it flat to cool. Hair that cools in the curl holds far longer.
- Once cool, take down the crown section and tease the roots with a fine comb, pushing short strokes toward the scalp on the underside only.
- Smooth the top layer over the teased part with a soft bristle brush so the shape looks full but not fuzzy.
- Brush out the lengths gently with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb for that soft, brushed-out wave.
- Mist with hairspray from arm's length and tuck two crossed bobby pins under the crown to anchor it.
On a synthetic wig, skip the hot tools unless the label says heat resistant, since cheap fibre frizzes or melts. Teasing a wig works, but it tangles for good if you go too hard, so tease lightly and brush it out slowly afterward, from the ends up. Fine, straight hair drops fastest; a texture spray at the roots before curling gives it something to grip.
1. Born To Die Flower Crown Costume

The Born to Die look is the one most fans picture first. A sleeveless white maxi or simple cream gown with a modest neckline and a flowing skirt is the base, and the giveaway is a large crown of blue roses over long, softly waved brown hair. Make the crown on a padded headband rather than a wire circlet; wire digs in behind the ears within an hour. Black winged liner, full lashes, groomed brows, peach blush and a nude-pink lip. Pearl earrings and one vintage-style statement ring, with white pumps or neutral flats. A small bunch of artificial blue roses in hand gives you something to do with your hands in photos.
2. Lust For Life White Lace Costume

Daisies and white lace carry the Lust for Life costume. A white lace mini or midi with short sleeves and a softly fitted waist is easy to find secondhand. Wear the brown hair in loose, full waves with height at the crown and tuck white daisies behind one ear; real daisies wilt by mid-party, so artificial ones are worth it. Classic cat-eye liner, rosy cheeks and pale pink lipstick. White block heels, Mary Janes or ballet flats, with pearl studs and a fine gold bracelet. A small retro record sleeve cut from cardstock makes a nice final clue. Cheerful, comfortable and very thrift-friendly.
3. National Anthem Blue Dress Costume

National Anthem is Lana in her First Lady mode, so the blue version is all polish. Find a sleeveless powder-blue sheath or fit-and-flare dress that hits near the knee, then add a short pearl necklace, pearl earrings, white gloves and a small structured bag. The hair is a smooth brunette bouffant with softly curled ends, and it needs to be smooth, not frizzy, so brush the outer layer over the teased part with a soft brush. Dramatic black liner, defined lashes and a muted coral lip. Nude pumps or low cream heels. A small bunch of red, white and blue artificial flowers hints at the theme better than anything political.
4. National Anthem Red Gown Costume

For the bolder National Anthem version, go for a floor-length red gown with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. Old prom dresses are ideal here and turn up in thrift stores every autumn; check the zip and the underarm seams before you buy, because those are what fail. Elbow-length white gloves and sparkly costume earrings, a high brunette bouffant with soft curled ends, black liquid liner, fluttery lashes, warm blush and glossy nude lipstick. Red, cream or neutral heels hidden under the skirt. A faux-pearl clutch and a single artificial rose. Rental, thrift or your own closet will all do.
5. Ride Fringe Biker Costume

Ride is soft Americana and long roads. A white tank or fitted tee tucked into high-waisted denim shorts, under a brown faux-suede jacket with fringe on the sleeves or back. Faux suede fringe tangles in a bag strap, so I comb it out with my fingers before photos. Tousled brown waves with lift at the roots, winged liner, bronzed cheeks and a neutral rose lip. Brown ankle boots or comfortable western boots, a turquoise-colored statement ring, a wide brown belt and aviators. A folded paper road map is a cheap, safe prop, and the whole look stays relaxed rather than theatrical.
6. Ride White Tank And Denim Costume

You probably own a simpler Ride costume already. A plain white ribbed tank, distressed high-waisted denim shorts and a wide leather-look belt, with a light plaid shirt or faded denim jacket for warmth. Red canvas sneakers or brown ankle boots depending on how far you're walking. Loose, slightly messy waves with a little lift at the crown, black liner, mascara, peach blush and a nude lip. Silver costume rings and aviators. A tiny travel bag or a cardboard motel key tag is a playful extra. Comfortable enough to dance in all night, and still clearly her roadside mood.
7. Tropico White Dress Costume

Tropico calls for something airy: a white maxi with flutter sleeves, lace panels or a light gathered skirt. A flower crown of pale pink, cream and soft blue blooms sits over long, full brown waves with a few curled pieces around the face. Brown shadow, black liner and long lashes, then peach blush and a rose lip. Flat white sandals or cream ballet flats, delicate gold jewelry and a small artificial apple or bouquet as the prop. If the dress is thin, wear a nude slip underneath; white maxis go sheer the moment someone takes a flash photo.
8. Tropico Red Dance Dress Costume

A bright red fit-and-flare dress with a full skirt that moves gives a warmer Tropico take. A halter, sweetheart bodice or vintage tea-dress shape sets the retro mood and stays tasteful. Brush the brunette waves out for volume at the crown, then add sharp winged liner, defined lashes, warm blush and a classic red lip. Red lipstick needs a liner and a blot, or it will be on your teeth and every glass by nine o'clock. Gold hoops, a floral clip and a slim bracelet. Red character shoes or comfy block heels let you dance, and a small bouquet of cream flowers softens all that red.
9. Ultraviolence Bridal Veil Costume

The Ultraviolence bride is simple and fans know it on sight. A modest white lace dress in mini, midi or tea length, a light white veil on a comb or plain headband, and long dark brown hair in loose, imperfect waves underneath. Keep the makeup vintage rather than bridal: bold black liner, long lashes, gently sculpted cheeks and a muted nude lip. White pumps, ballet flats or lace-up ankle boots depending on the weather, plus pearl earrings and a small bouquet of drooping white artificial flowers. Skip garters, tiaras and the rest of the wedding kit. The veil and the eyeliner are the identifiers.
10. West Coast Leather Jacket Costume

West Coast is the jeans-lover's Lana. A fitted white T-shirt with dark skinny jeans or high-waisted straight-leg denim, a black faux-leather biker jacket and black ankle boots. Long brunette waves with a deep side part. Smudge brown shadow around the eyes, add a black wing and a neutral pink lip. Oversized black sunglasses, silver rings and a small black shoulder bag, with a vintage-style coastal postcard as a light prop. Faux leather doesn't breathe, so in a warm room you'll want to take the jacket off; luckily the white tee and jeans still read on their own. Warm enough for an outdoor gathering.
11. Shades Of Cool Blue Dress Costume

Shades of Cool is all icy blue. Look for a pale blue chiffon midi or maxi with a fitted waist and a soft draped skirt, and add silver drop earrings, a delicate bracelet and a small metallic clutch. Glossy vintage waves, one side tucked behind the ear. Blue-gray shadow, a black wing, mascara, rose blush and a mauve-pink lip. Silver sandals or pale blue block heels, and a pair of white cat-eye sunglasses to hold. Chiffon snags on rough nails and bracelet clasps, so check your jewelry before you put the dress on. Best at indoor parties and in photos.
12. High By The Beach Robe Costume

High by the Beach is the relaxed one. Layer a silky blue, cream or floral kimono-style robe over a modest matching tank and high-waisted shorts, and wear flat sandals, woven slides or low espadrilles. Long brown waves that look a little windblown, oversized sunglasses, bronzed skin, defined liner and a nude lip. A wide-brim straw hat adds coverage and resort feel. Carry a rolled beach towel, a retro paperback or a small empty tote. Make sure the outfit under the robe works on its own; robes slip off the shoulder constantly. Comfortable in warm weather.
13. Music To Watch Boys To Poolside Costume

Music to Watch Boys To works poolside, worn tastefully. A black one-piece swimsuit acts as a bodysuit, with a long white crochet cover-up or sheer kimono, black high-waisted shorts and flat black sandals. Large polished waves, a side part and a lifted crown. Keep the face graphic: bold cat-eye, full lashes, pale blush and soft pink lipstick. Oversized white sunglasses, big hoops and a wide sun hat, plus a striped beach tote with a folded towel. A swimsuit used as a bodysuit has no snaps, so plan bathroom trips accordingly. Good for warm Halloween weather or an indoor party.
14. Freak White Boho Costume

Freak leans into soft California boho. Start with a light white long-sleeved lace maxi or a tiered prairie dress, and add a tan faux-suede vest if you want texture and warmth. Relaxed center-parted brown waves with a few tiny white flowers pinned in. Warm neutral shadow, a delicate wing, peach blush and a beige-pink lip. Brown lace-up boots or flat sandals, several gold-tone necklaces and one wide statement ring. A small vintage-style camera or a floral scarf makes the prop. Layered necklaces tangle as you move, so I knot the shorter ones at different lengths. Family-friendly and easy to find in ordinary shops.
15. Love White Mini Dress Costume

Love is youthful and bright: a white or ivory mini dress with lace sleeves and a softly flared skirt, plus opaque cream tights for coverage or warmth. White Mary Janes, low pumps or ballet flats. Loose brunette waves with real volume at the crown, several white daisies near one ear. Thick winged liner, fluttery lashes, luminous blush and pale rose lips. Small pearl earrings and a fine pendant. A cardboard planet or a silver star-shaped purse nods to the song's space theme. Every piece is simple, so put your effort into the hair.
16. White Mustang Black Mini Dress Costume

A sleek black mini gives a dramatic White Mustang look. Pick a long-sleeved shift or a fitted dress with a high neck, sheer black tights, black ankle boots with a sturdy heel and a small structured bag. Smooth brown waves with a deep side part, a sharp black wing, full lashes, light contour and a muted rose lip. Silver hoops and layered rings for a little shine. The prop does the explaining: cut a small white horse from foam board and pin it to your bag. It's less obvious than the flower-crown looks, which dedicated fans tend to enjoy.
17. Chemtrails Country Club Costume

Chemtrails country club starts with clean preppy pieces. A white tennis dress or a collared fit-and-flare, white ankle socks and plain sneakers, with a pale blue cardigan draped over the shoulders. Pearl earrings, a narrow headband and short white gloves give the retro finish. Brushed brunette waves, a classic cat eye, rosy cheeks and pink-nude lips. A vintage-style racket cover or a small white handbag is easier to carry than an actual racket. For the dreamlike twist, clip a removable pair of soft gray animal ears to your bag. White cotton picks up makeup at the collar, so powder your neck.
18. Norman Rockwell Boat Costume

The Norman Rockwell cover mixes one loud color with boating details. A neon green long-sleeved top, light pullover or fitted sweater goes with high-waisted denim shorts or white sailor-style trousers. White canvas sneakers, small gold hoops and a blue ribbon on one wrist. Long brown waves with the front held back by a white bow or barrette, black winged liner, peach blush and a soft nude lip. A light cardboard steering wheel or a small captain's hat for photos. Pose in front of something blue if you can. That green top is what sets it apart from all the vintage-dress versions.
19. Blue Banisters Yellow Dress Costume

A soft yellow prairie dress makes a warm Blue Banisters costume. Choose a midi or maxi with puff sleeves, a square neck or small florals, then add brown ankle boots and a light blue cardigan to pull in the album's blue. Natural center-parted brunette waves with very little teasing, brown liner, mascara, peach blush and a sheer rose lip. A thin gold necklace and stud earrings. Carry a paintbrush and a small cardboard railing painted blue as handmade props. The yellow next to a strong blue is what makes the reference click; without the blue, it reads as a cottage dress.
20. Ocean Boulevard White Bow Costume

Ocean Boulevard is bows on a vintage white dress. Wear a white or cream mini with puff sleeves, lace trim or a fitted waist, white tights and cream Mary Janes. Full brunette waves with an oversized white ribbon bow on each side. I sew a small comb to the back of each bow, because bobby pins alone let a big bow droop. Black winged liner, defined lashes, flushed cheeks and a muted pink lip. Pearl drop earrings and a heart pendant. A handmade street sign reading Ocean Boulevard explains it at a glance, and the clothes are easy to wear again after Halloween.
21. Candy Necklace Black Vintage Costume

Candy Necklace centers on a black vintage dress and lots of costume jewelry. A modest black midi with puff sleeves, lace trim or a gathered neckline, sheer black gloves and black pumps with removable ribbon bows. Structured retro waves with lift at the crown, dramatic liner, long lashes, cool blush and a deep rose lip. Layer oversized faux-gem necklaces in white, silver and pastels so the title is obvious. Heavy layered necklaces pull on the neck after a few hours, so I mix one statement piece with lighter strands. A small black satin clutch and matching drop earrings. No designer copy needed.
22. A&W White Shirt Costume

For the A&W look, start with an oversized white button-down over a fitted white tank, with faded denim shorts or straight-leg jeans and worn-in white sneakers. Loose center-parted waves with plenty of natural texture. Keep the makeup a bit undone: smudged brown shadow, black mascara, a subtle wing and nude balm. Silver hoops, stacked rings and a narrow black belt. Carry a vintage microphone-shaped purse or a handmade black-and-white magazine cover with your own photo. No lace, no flowers, nothing formal, and every piece goes back into your normal wardrobe afterward.
23. Young And Beautiful Black Gown Costume

Young and Beautiful is pure Old Hollywood. A floor-length black gown with cap sleeves, a fitted waist or soft draping, long black gloves, crystal earrings and a sparkly bracelet. Polished side-swept waves with a glossy finish; a drop of shine serum on the palms smoothed over the top does it. Black liquid liner, smoky taupe shadow, full lashes and a rich berry lip. Black pumps or low block heels under the skirt, a crystal clutch or an artificial white gardenia. If a full gown is impractical, a black midi with the gloves and the hair still works. Best at an indoor evening event.
24. Summertime Sadness White Sundress Costume

Summertime Sadness needs only a breezy white sundress. A fit-and-flare with a sweetheart neckline, wide straps or a little eyelet, plus red ballet flats or white canvas sneakers for comfort. Tousled brown waves with the front pinned back, soft gray shadow, black liner, mascara, flushed cheeks and a faded red lip stain. Small gold earrings and a light red cardigan. Heart-shaped sunglasses or a paper fan in hand. The cardigan isn't just for color; October evenings turn cold, and a sundress alone won't last outdoors.
25. Blue Jeans White Pool Costume

Blue Jeans can be styled tastefully with a white one-piece swimsuit worn as a bodysuit, layered with high-waisted black shorts or a flowing black wrap skirt and a sheer white cover-up. Black flat sandals or low ankle-strap heels. Glossy waves with a dramatic side part. Keep the face black and white: strong liner, defined lashes, light contour and nude lipstick. Silver hoops and a black-and-white striped scarf in your hair or on your bag. An empty vintage-style photo frame nods to the video's moody look. High contrast, comfortable and fine for a public party.
26. Video Games Cardigan Costume

Video Games is a great last-minute choice. A white button-front blouse with high-waisted denim shorts or dark skinny jeans, a cream cardigan and white sneakers or simple flats. The hair is the effort: a half-up bouffant with long curled pieces over the shoulders. Thick black liner, mascara, softly filled brows, peach blush and a nude-pink lip. Small hoops and a thin pendant. A light retro game controller or a cardboard arcade token is the literal clue. It has the homemade, nostalgic feel of her early videos and works for school-friendly parties and outdoor plans.
27. Burning Desire Red Gown Costume

Burning Desire turns the glamour up. A fitted red midi or floor-length gown with long sleeves, a boat neck or soft ruching suits the look better than anything revealing. Red pumps, sparkly drop earrings and a small black clutch. Deep side-parted brunette waves with shine, a precise cat eye, thick lashes, warm contour and a classic red lip. Red nail stickers are a cheap extra. A vintage-style car key on a bright tassel is a subtle prop. Matching the lip and nails to the dress is what makes it look intentional; three slightly different reds look like an accident.
28. Dark Paradise Black Lace Costume

Dark Paradise is romantic, not frightening. Choose a black lace midi with long sleeves, a lined bodice, a high neck and a flowing skirt, with black tights and comfy velvet ankle boots. Voluminous brown waves with a black satin ribbon at the back. Smoky brown shadow, a sharp black wing, defined lashes and a muted plum lip. Antique-style silver earrings, a cameo necklace and a black structured bag, plus dark red artificial roses for contrast. A thrifted lace dress worn over a plain black slip gives the same effect for less, and the slip stops scratchy lace rubbing your skin.
29. Coachella Flower Crown Costume

Her festival era mixes romance with utility. A blush pink shirt dress or pale mini under an oversized camouflage-print utility jacket, white ankle socks and white heeled sneakers or supportive platforms. Soft brunette waves under a large flower crown in red, pink and cream. Big crowns slide forward when you look down, so I pin them at the sides and the back. Black winged liner, long lashes, peach blush and glossy nude lips. A small crossbody bag with a light scarf on the strap, round sunglasses and a few costume rings. The pretty dress against the rugged jacket is what makes it interesting.
30. Red Racing Jacket Costume

A red racing jacket shows her sporty side. Find a red zip-front moto or racing-style jacket with plain white patches and stripes, worn with a fitted white tee, dark straight-leg jeans and black ankle boots. Big waves with a lifted crown, a dramatic cat eye, bronzed cheeks and a pale nude lip. Aviators, silver hoops and a black shoulder bag. A small checkered flag in fabric or paper for photos. Leave real company logos off; plain patches say racing well enough. It's warm, comfortable and stands out next to all the white dresses.
31. Waffle House Uniform Costume

Her widely shared restaurant-uniform moment makes a cheap, practical costume. A pale blue short-sleeved collared shirt with a black knee-length skirt or straight work pants, a bright yellow name tag reading Lana in bold letters and a matching handmade visor. Black nonslip-style sneakers or loafers. Brunette hair in a low ponytail with soft face-framing waves, natural foundation, a little liner, mascara, pink blush and nude lipstick. An empty order pad and pen, plus a small tray if the venue allows. The name tag does nearly all the work, so make it big and neat; I print mine rather than hand-letter it. Great for a group or a last-minute call.
32. 2024 Grammys Black Floral Costume

Her 2024 Grammys look blends vintage romance with dark coquette. Find a black floral lace dress with puff sleeves and a knee-length or midi skirt, and add sheer black gloves, black tights and closed-toe pumps with removable bows. A smooth center part, a full crown and long curled ends. Bold liner, fluttery lashes, rosy cheeks and a glossy rose lip, with sparkly earrings and a small black bag. Tiny ribbon bows on the gloves or shoes stay put with fashion tape, but tape lets go in damp weather, so a couple of stitches are safer outdoors. Fits most Halloween settings.
33. Coachella Blue Sparkle Costume

Her pale blue sparkle at Coachella in April 2024 makes a bright costume. A modest blue mini or midi with rhinestone trim, beading or scattered sequins, matching sheer gloves or detachable puff sleeves if you can find them, and silver ankle boots or low crystal heels. A dramatic teased bouffant with softly curled lengths. Blue-gray shadow, a black wing, luminous blush and a pink-nude lip, with a fine pendant and silver drop earrings. A toy microphone with no branding is the prop. Plain dress? Fabric-safe rhinestone stickers give the sparkle cheaply, though I'd add a dot of fabric glue under each one for a long night.
34. Coachella Black Western Costume

Her western styling from the same 2024 Coachella run gives a darker festival look. A fitted black midi with lace panels, crystal details or a softly flared skirt, a cropped black faux-leather jacket and black western boots. The standout is a light black lace veil pinned to a wide-brim hat; stitch it to the hatband, because a veil held only with pins blows off outdoors. Polished waves under the hat, strong black liner, smoky brown shadow, sculpted blush and a muted rose lip. A silver pendant, a decorative belt, black gloves and a small fringed bag. Country meets stage glamour without going grim.
35. 2024 Met Gala Forest Veil Costume

Her May 6, 2024 Met Gala appearance becomes a wearable enchanted-forest costume. Start with a beige or taupe corset-style maxi over a fully lined neutral slip. Add bronze fabric branches to the bodice with removable stitching or fashion tape, and build a light branch crown from brown floral stems with a soft beige tulle veil that falls around the shoulders, never over the face. Floral stem wire is sharp at the cut ends, so wrap every tip with floral tape before it goes near your scalp. Neutral pumps, loose waves, earthy shadow, a wing, warm blush and nude lips. Minimal jewelry and a small leaf-shaped clutch.
36. 2025 Stagecoach Ivory Lace Costume

Her Stagecoach appearance on April 25, 2025 is soft country glamour. An ivory lace midi with a full skirt, fitted waist and modest neckline, opaque white tights and cream western boots with removable ribbon bows. Brushed-out vintage curls with a white bow on one side. Classic winged liner, peach blush and a muted coral lip. Pearl earrings, a thin bracelet and a cream belt if the dress needs shape. White artificial wildflowers or a vintage-style hand fan. Ivory lace and cream boots show every scuff, so wipe the boots before you leave and keep a stain pen in your bag.
37. Silver Gown And Black Cape Costume

Her 2012 Met Gala drama comes down to a silver floor-length gown and a structured black cape. A metallic gray maxi, or a long silver slip with a modest fitted top, under a black cape that reaches the floor or falls just below the knee. Black pumps and a small silver clutch. Smooth side-parted waves, a bold cat eye, full lashes, cool pink blush and a deep berry lip. Crystal earrings and one big costume ring. A floor-length cape is heavy and gets stepped on, so a lighter hoodless cloak cut just above the ankle is the practical swap. Silver against black needs almost no props.
38. Silver Beaded Grammys Costume

A silver beaded gown gives you her 2020 Grammys sparkle. An affordable sequin maxi with short sleeves, a modest neckline and a gently fitted shape works well; renting a formal dress keeps the cost down too. Silver block heels, crystal drop earrings and a metallic clutch. Smooth waves with volume at the crown, gray-brown shadow, a thick wing, soft pink blush and a glossy nude lip. Rhinestone hairpins near one ear. A light award-shaped prop cut from gold cardstock, kept generic. Sequins scratch the inner arms, so check the seams inside before you commit to a night in it. The dress does most of the work.
39. Aqua Golden Globes Costume

An aqua gown breaks up the usual white, black and red. Her 2015 Golden Globes look was turquoise, so find a floor-length turquoise or seafoam dress with soft pleating and a fitted waist. Silver sandals, a jeweled bracelet and a small metallic bag. A large retro bouffant with curled ends over the shoulders. Black liquid liner, long lashes, peach blush and a coral-pink lip, with crystal drop earrings for light near the face. An artificial white flower or a small gold star for photos. That color and the big hair stand out in any group of celebrity costumes.
40. Off-Duty Americana Costume

The last look is her off-duty Americana. A brown barn jacket over a white cotton blouse or plain tee, light-wash straight-leg jeans and clean white sneakers. Loose natural waves, with a neutral baseball cap if you want it more casual. Brown liner, mascara, pink blush and tinted balm. Small hoops, a canvas tote and classic sunglasses, with a paperback or folded road map as an easy prop. It works for school, work and errands, and the barn jacket is the warmest option on the list for a cold night outside.
Thrifted Lace Dresses and How I Make Them Fit
Half of this list starts with a white, black or ivory lace dress, and secondhand racks are full of them. I check three things on the hanger: whether the lace is lined, whether the zip runs smoothly, and whether the seams under the arms are intact. Unlined lace can be fixed with a slip; a broken zip on a fitted dress usually isn't worth the trouble.
- Too big at the waist: a wide belt or a ribbon sash fixes it in minutes, no sewing.
- Too long: pin it up and try it in the shoes you'll wear before cutting anything.
- Yellowed white lace: a long soak in an oxygen-based whitener often brings it back; test a hidden spot first.
- Scratchy: a thin slip or a fitted camisole underneath stops lace from rubbing at the arms and waist.
When the Night Turns Cold
So many of her looks are sundresses and bare arms, and late October rarely cooperates. Opaque tights in a matching color disappear in photos, a fitted long-sleeve layer in nude or white hides under lace sleeves, and a cardigan or coat in one of the outfit's colors looks planned rather than borrowed. Take the outer layer off for the pictures and put it straight back on.
Big Hair, a Sharp Wing and One Clear Clue
Every one of these looks works the same way: one clear reference, worn comfortably. Choose your main clue, a blue flower crown, a bridal veil, a racing jacket, a name tag, a long cape or a sparkly stage dress. Back it up with voluminous brunette hair, a black wing, a few retro accessories and shoes you can stand in. Thrift stores are full of lace dresses, cardigans, costume jewelry and vintage-style handbags in autumn. For cold weather, add tights, a fitted layer or a coat in a matching color. Early album nostalgia or recent red carpets, there's a version here to start from.
