2. Marilyn Monroe

Opt for a different costume of Miss Marilyn than the classic white V neck midi dress. Instead, go for her other classic look like this long white square neck with a faux fur jacket. Don't forget to also do your make up (with red lipstick), curl your hair up like it's the 1950's or simply wear a wig. Oh! Get a vintage 1950's glasses from your grandma or momma to complete the look.

3. "Sandy" from the Grease Movie, 1978

I mean... who doesn't like this classic move that makes you just want to boogie with our friends. Her look is so easy to put together especially for those of you who loves wearing black. All you need is a black over the shoulder top, black leather jacket and a black legging. Top it off with a big curled hair, big hoops earring and red platform shoes!

4. "Cruella" from 101 Dalmatians, 1996

Cruella oh Cruella! with this look, you can either dress is up with wearing a long dress or dress it down a bit with a midi skirt. But you definitely gotta wear something polkadot - whether it's a blouse or the coat. Just make sure that the coat is a faux fur. If you dont mind doing something creative with your hair, you should do a white hairspray for half of your hair and volumized up your hair like a true Cruella Deville. Ha.
