Best AC Articles: Halloween Costumes for Female Teens

Choosing a Halloween costume can be difficult when you are a female teen. Trying to find something more mature than a Miley Cyrus costume and more appropriate than a Sexy Witch, Pirate, French Maid or basically anything with the word "sexy" before it can be a challenge. Fortunately, thanks to many of the talented writers here at AC, there are some great choices. Following is my list of the ten best Halloween costumes for teenage girls, in no particular order.

1. Halloween is one day out of the year when you can be anyone or anything you want. Many female teens would not object to portraying an Oscar-winning, Brad-Pitt-child-bearing, Goodwill Ambassador. If that sounds appealing to you, check out Cheap Angelina Jolie Halloween Costume by AC content producer Ms. Nicole A. After reading her article, I can assure you the "cheap" refers to the cost of the costume and is not a description of Ms. Jolie.

2. The next Halloween costume that would be fun for a female teen is another brunette celeb. However, this star is not about adopting babies from third-world countries. Her M.O. is more into avoiding rehab. That's right, ladies; why not show up as the beehive-wearing celebrity mess that is Amy Winehouse? How to Make an Amy Winehouse Celebrity Halloween Costume, also penned by Ms. Nicole A., will show you how.

3. If you are looking for something more old school, consider a Halloween costume that will take you from modern female teen to Middle Ages hottie! AC producer SkyeDanzer has composed DIY Renaissance Halloween Costume for Women, using articles of clothing you can find at your favorite mall.

4. Planning to head off to college soon? Be prepared for all those toga parties. AC producer Sophia Sanchez offers several Halloween Costume ideas that will allow any female teen to feel divine - literally. Check out Halloween Costume Ideas- the Greek Goddesses.

5. Many teens are on a tight budget. That does not mean you can't whip up a Halloween costume that is not a total dud. Case in point: AC content producer A. Hermitt's piece titled Halloween Costume Ideas from Your Closet offers ten - count 'em TEN - unique ideas using stuff you already own.

6. Just because you are a female teen does not mean you do not appreciate a classic scary movie, right? If you are looking for a Halloween costume that is a little more gruesome, check out the totally creative Homemade Halloween Costume Idea: Tippi Hedren from "The Birds" by AC CP Nicole Caminiti.

7. Female teens prefer to travel in pairs or groups - I know, I was one myself, not too long ago - so the remainder of my top picks will be Halloween costumes that you can wear together. Funny Group Halloween Costume Ideas by Amy Francisco offers a couple of hilarious ideas that girls and guys can get in on.

8. Love them or loathe them, every female teen knows who LC, Speidi and Lo are. The Hills Halloween Costume Ideas for Groups by AC producer Pam Gaulin will show you how to dress to impress (or poke fun).

9. If you and another female teen want to dress somewhat alike but have different tastes in clothing, you might appreciate AC producer Jennifer Eblin's piece Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson Halloween Costume. One of you can mimic LiLo's sophisticated style while the other can impersonate Samantha's more comfortable DJ attire.

10. Last but definitely not least is the many faces of Britney. Get the whole gang together and have a blast with the surplus of Britney Spears Halloween costume ideas found listed in 5 Britney Spears Costume Ideas by AC producer Avis Yarbrough. One of your teen female friends can go as Young Starlet Britney and another as Nervous Breakdown Britney. Have teen guy friends? Dress them up as JT and KFed! Hey, it's worth a shot.
