Craving a Halloween costume that's not so much scary as it is stylish? Why not pay homage to an iconic fashion personality? From a ghoulish Karl Lagerfeld to a monstrous cat-wielding Kenley Collins, these get-ups are just right for fashionistas who are less into "boo" and more into "Goo ... cci."
Anna Wintour
Between her pow-wow with David Letterman and the success of "The September Issue," it may just be the Year of the Icy British Editrix.
Shopping List:
-elegant dress or skirt suit
-bobbed wig with bangs
-fabulous heels
-devil's accessories
-sunglasses
-copy of Vogue
-haughty attitude
Costume:
You may not be able to snap your fingers and have a designer frock suddenly appear, but you can fake it. Simply throw on your finest skirt suit or dress (bearing in mind that Ms. Wintour does not do black), affix an inverted triangle Prada label you've cleverly made out of construction paper, stick some devil's horns atop your bobbed wig, and slap on some giant black shades. Extra points for carrying a copy of Vogue or having your giant Andre Leon Talley lookalike BFF hover behind you in a cape.
Karl Lagerfeld
Sure, there are plenty of vampires out on Halloween, but what about the other Prince of Darkness? Herr Karl's scary style is sure to elicit a few chills ... though you may have to pass on the caramel apples and Kit Kat bars -- they're not on his cigarette and Diet Coke diet.
Shopping List:
-black suit (or black blazer and black jeans)
-white button-down blouse
-black tie
-black sunglasses
-black boots
-gray wig with black ribbon
-gloves
-silver jewelry
Costume:
Pair a black blazer and trousers with a white button-down shirt, black necktie and ominous black shades. Feel free to jazz it up with creepy leather gloves or a silver crucifix, which Karl clearly only wears to prove he's not a vampire (as if). Don a long gray wig worthy of the silver fox, and tie it up in a ponytail with black ribbon. The final touch: a grim-faced glare.

Coco Chanel
Thanks to "Coco Before Chanel," everyone's crazy for Coco right now. And for good reason -- this is the woman who gave us little black dresses, witty bons mots, the 2.55 handbag, and, er, Karl Lagerfeld (thanks for that, by the way).
Shopping List:
-white silk pajamas
-kitten heels
-pearls
-red lipstick
-quilted leather handbag
-Chanel No. 5
Costume:
Rather than going the obvious route and drowning yourself in your mom's vintage Chanel boucle jacket (like she'd ever let you get your paws on that anyway), pay homage to the younger Coco with white silk pajamas, kitten heels, and a string of pearls. Accessorize with a bottle of Chanel No. 5 and a quilted black handbag (if it's real, great, if not, just slap a masking tape double-C logo on it) to collect your candy.
Kenley Collins
With her Kermit-on-helium voice, her Bettie Page wannabe bangs, and her (frankly) batcrackers-crazy shenanigans like attacking her ex with a cat and a laptop, this "Project Runway" alum is just begging to be immortalized with a Halloween costume.
Shopping List:
-1950s dress
-retro hair accessory
-brown wig with short bangs
-stuffed cat doll
-red lipstick
Costume:
Hit up the local vintage store for a 1950s frock -- think bright colors and a full skirt -- and fashion your 'do into retro bangs and a silly veil or feathered fascinator. The final touch? A little pussycat, of course.
