Forget dressing up as a ghost or vampire this Halloween. This year’s holiday is the perfect time to pay homage to the princess of pop, Miss Britney Jean Spears. It’s safe to say we’ve all been rooting for the singer these past few months, and what better way to celebrate her freedom than by paying homage to the many iconic outfits she’s worn throughout her impressive career? Fear not if you’re short on costume inspiration—because America’s sweetheart has a number of iconic ensembles that will leave you saying, “Gimme More!”
Whether in her music videos (a “Toxic”-style flight attendant look, anyone?), on stage (you could recreate that “Slave” snake performance look), or on the red carpet (a denim dress rings a bell), the singer has been serving looks for two decades strong. Feeling inspired by her thrilling fashion journey, I decided that I will be dressing up like Spears this Halloween. As a lifelong fan, I know I have to do the star’s signature, Y2K-style look justice—so I dove into the photo archives for some ideas. And in the process, I found that there are many memorable Spears fits to choose from. So, won’t you join me?
From a red, “Oops”-inspired latex suit to the “Baby One More Time” school girl outfit, read on below for some of the best Britney-themed Halloween costumes to consider trying on this year. You ll be the fiercest pop star in the room. Given the plethora of options, I have started encouraging my friends to come dressed as Spears for my Halloween party this year. The only rule is that there shall be no mean-spirited or 2007-era costumes allowed. In this house, we stan Spears only! As for which Britney look I’m recreating? That’s a secret until Halloween. Duh!
Below, 6 Britney-themed Halloween costumes to try.
Toxic Britney
“You’re dangerous—I’m lovin’ it.” Channel Britney’s “Toxic” flight attendant look with a bright blue uniform, complete with a long, blonde ponytail and matching eyeshadow. Can’t forget the headset!
Baby One More Time Britney
Recreate Britney’s “Baby One More Time” school girl outfit with a cropped white shirt, gray cardigan, and black pleated miniskirt. Accessories—like knee-high stockings and fuzzy pink hair ties—are also a must.
Oops!… I Did It Again Britney
Is there a more iconic look than Britney’s red latex catsuit in the “Oops!… I Did It Again” music video? Squeeze into one (if you dare), then complete the look with a headset, high ponytail, and bright blue eyeshadow.
Slave 4 U Britney
Slither into Britney’s 2001 VMAs performance look, including a bedazzled bra and bedazzled jean shorts. No need for a real-life python to go with it—a stuffed toy will do just fine.
Lacey VMAs Britney
For the daring Britney stan, revive her 2001 VMAs unforgettable red carpet look by wearing a black, long-sleeved lace dress, which should offer a peak—just a peak—at the matching lace undergarments underneath.
Denim AMAs Britney
Forget the Canadian tuxedo—it s all about the denim gown. Channel Britney’s 2001 American Music Awards look by rocking a denim bustier and matching long-sleeve skirt. Then, glam it up with a crystal choker and chain belt. (A date playing the part of Justin Timberlake in a denim blazer is optional, but encouraged.)
