How to Upgrade Your Halloween Costume with Designer Fashion

Readers of Ms. Fabulous are far too savvy to wear a skanky, polyester drug store costume for Halloween.  Fashion fans, designers, socialites are far too sophisticated for that...

Here is how to pull of the most fashionable character costumes in style:

Cruella Deville was the ultimate fashion-obsessed Disney villain.  Get her look with a 3/4 length rabbit fur coat and a Moschino Cheap & Chic sequined halter dress.  Gorgeous red leather gloves from Lanvin and a vintage cigarette holder completes the look.  

Batman villain Poison Ivy seduced with just a whisper and a outfit of leaves.  Get the designer version with a cocktail dress of laser cut petals from THEIA, a dashing red wig and sleek Prada pumps in green.  Give the look an extra luxe touch with a Gerard Yosca necklace.

Would you rather be the heroine? The Girl on Fire?  Get your Panem style on as Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games.  Getting your dress to actually flame out is a little difficult, but this Emporio Armani silk organza dress has flame-shaped mirrors reflecting light that are the next best thing.  Find a good cross bow and a pair of Prada flame shoes and you'll be the last one standing in any competition.

I'm up for tricks or treats....Happy Halloween!
