Buy from AmazonElle woods was every girl’s obsession in the 2000s. The “What? Like, it’s hard?” quote is forever my favorite. Needless to say, to pull off a Legally Blonde costume, you need all things pink. You might already have this in your closet.
You can also wear her iconic bunny costume!!! I actually think that’s the best and funniest look of the movie.
2. Paris Hilton in the 2000s

Complete this Halloween costume with y2k sunglasses (you might already own these :))
3. Bring it on Cheerleaders

For the Prada part, you can simply print a Prada logo and stick it on your top. Gotta love a simple DIY lol.
10. J.Lo in the iconic green dress

Buy from AmazonEven J.Lo thinks this is the most iconic look she’s ever worn! At least I remember she said so in the documentary about her on Netflix.
This is a great costume because you get to wear a stunning jungle print dress! I found a maxi dress with a similar print on Amazon that looks amazing. Don’t forget to accessorize and do a half ponytail (or what do you call that hairdo?)
11. Mamma Mia

Essentials for this outfit are a bandana, a beanie, and layered necklaces. You also need the baggiest pair of pants and a cropped t-shirt.
13. Kylie Jenner as Christina Aguilera

Buy from AmazonCelebrities have repeatedly worn Christina Aguilera’s Dirty costume, and I love how Kylie Jenner pulls it off in this picture. The pants are hard to find! But you can use something similar.
The top is easy because it’s simply a red-white striped bikini top. If you can make your hair like Christina, that would be amazing for this costume.
