Be Alex Russo for Halloween

Stephanie Modkins
Alex Russo is the main character of the hit show Wizards of Waverly Place. Be her this Halloween by mimicking her persona. In the process, have fun and put a bit of magic into your life.

Your Supplies: wavy dark brown wig, t-shirt, sweater vest, pencil pants, knee-high boots, long necklace, hoop or drop earrings, fake wand

Hair
Don't get it twisted. Alex Russo always keeps her hair looking cute and up-to-date on Wizards of Waverly Place. For your Halloween costume, purchase a mid-length, brown wig with curls at the end. Part the wig on the left side and create a long bang that frames your face. This signature hairdo is the one Alex currently wears.

Make-up
Since she's only a teen Alex Russo of Wizards of Waverly Place doesn't wear tons of make-up. You shouldn't either. Go with your natural color and apply lip-gloss, mascara and a muted eyeliner (on the top lid only). You can also go with shadow, but only in way that highlights your eyes. You've done well if you achieve a 'cover girl' look.

Clothing
Alex Russo's clothing style is similar to that of a young bohemian. Copy her dress in your Halloween costume by combining a t-shirt with a funky design on the front, a thin sweater vest, a pencil straight jeans and knee-high boots. Although your outfit should appear cohesive, nothing really has to match.

Jewelry
Forget about those dainty, small earrings at the top of your jewelry box. Alex Russo likes to flaunt long, dangling hoop or drop earrings and long necklaces. They aren't garish like the kind her gal pal on Wizards of Waverly Place would don, but you can't miss them either. Be sure to go with silver.

Big wand
Because you're copying the antics of a young wizard, add some fun to your costume by carrying a big wand. You can go with the traditional black or brighten up this item by adding glitter. If you really want to be adventurous, throw on a magical cape as an overcoat.

Attitude
Okay. If you watch a few seconds of Wizards of Waverly Place, you know that Alex Russo is kind of a brat. She has a smart mouth, cavalier mentality toward anything responsible and doesn't care what anyone really thinks about her (most of the time). On Halloween, get your head into the game and act like her. Your new attitude might actually get you noticed by the people who usually ignore you.

Follow the above format and you'll be a great Alex Russo this Halloween. You'll be able to flaunt your stuff in a way that makes your peers want to sit down and watch a show dedicated to young people.
