Celebrity Halloween Costume Ideas for Women: Obama Girl

Nicole A.
While she is not directly affiliated with the presidential candidate Barak Obama, this female political fanatic has become a huge star. The Obama Girl has been talked about in tons of magazines and news programs after her YouTube music video went viral. With the presidential election coming up, this is a great Halloween costume idea. This article will teach you how to become the Obama Girl for Halloween. The materials needed are inexpensive and can be obtained free of charge with a little improvising.

Long Brown Hair wig (If your hair color is not brown)

The Obama Girl shows off her long brown hair while singing a now famous "Cush on Obama" song in a music video. To get this look, find a wig that has long brown hair. It would be best to choose one that has some curls. The Obama Girl is stylish, so you do not want your hair to be flat. However, it is possible to save money by purchasing a straight wig and using hot curlers or a roller setting. That will depend on the price of you Obama Girl wig.

Large dark sunglasses

This Halloween costume idea will not be complete without dark sunglasses. It seems that these accessory is now a must-have item for celebrities. The Obama Girl wears sunglasses in her music video. It would be best to top this Halloween costume idea off with a stylish pair of dark sunglasses. The frame can be any solid color. Make sure that the lenses are brown or black.

Jean Shorts

One of the reasons why I like this Obama Girl costume idea is because of its easy wardrobe. Almost every woman owns a pair of jean shorts. If you are one of these women, the shorts will become part of your Obama Girl Halloween costume. Now, everyone does not have shorts. I actually do not own a pair of jean shorts. However, they can be found at any thrift store, consignment shop and your best friend's closet.

White high heels

In the "Crush on Obama" video, the Obama girl is seen wearing white heels in some of the scenes. This is a very distinctive look that should be a part of your Halloween costume. Unfortunately, white high heels are not always easy to find for a low price. I have head trouble locating many styles of shoes in white for years. There is no need to worry about that fact when creating this Halloween costume idea. If you do not own them, white heels can be found at discount stores like Payless shoes.

"I got a Crush on Obama" Tank Top

Over 300,000 people viewed the Obama Girl video. In this video, she wore various clothing items that showed much love for Barak Obama. Now, the Obama Girl has a clothing line that includes lots of items that support the presidential candidate. Among them is the "I got a Crush on Obama" tank top. You can buy this online to complete your Halloween costume.

Another good alternative is to purchase a tank top and write "I Got a Crush on Obama" or "I love Obama" on the front. You can also glue a photo of this political figure under the words. If the second phrase is chosen, replace the word "love" with a large red heart. Washable Crayola markers can be used for these graphics. Once you have obtained a great top, the Obama Girl Halloween Costume idea will be complete.
