This group is more about character than clothing. Perfect for the mom and dad on the go. In under an hour your group can be ready for Halloween fun.

American Idol Judge Simon Cowell Costume
A fast and easy Halloween costume for any short haired guy is Simon Cowell. A pair of dark blue jeans and black tee shirt with comfortable shoes. Complete the Cowell look with dark hair either slicked back or cut very short in a long flat-top style. This Idol judge is all about attitude and arrogance. Simon Cowell not only thinks he is better than most, he knows it. Finish with arms tightly folded across his chest most of the time and plenty of eye rolling. This American Idol judge costume is an easy solution for those who don't like the Halloween makeup.

American Idol Judge Randy Jackson Costume
Another easy Halloween costume, Randy Jackson requires some hip clothing in bright colors. Randy Jackson is a styling African-American prone to using slang that is just slightly behind the times. As long as you know the word 'dawg' and can find some big glam sunglasses, you will have a great Randy Jackson costume.

American Idol Judge Kara DioGuardi Costume
Not much stands out about Kara DioGuardi. With long dark hair and the required glam glasses, some descent dress clothes and you are good to go. Kara DioGuardi does have attitude; she will wag her finger and head with the best of them. Be prepared to break into a sing off with anybody at any time.

American Idol Judge Ellen DeGeneres Costume
Ellen DeGeneres is a fun character and costume to wear for Halloween. A short blond wig or hair, worn in a tousled look. Jeans with long cuffs, an oxford shirt (untucked) and a sweater. Keds style tennis shoes are a must. No Ellen DeGeneres costume is complete without dancing. Ellen dances everywhere she goes, especially on Halloween.

American Idol Judge Paula Abdul Costume
For a crazy twist on this year's American Idol judge group costume, just add a little Paula Abdul. The recently departed judge, Abdul can come along as one of the gang, or a crazy Ellen/Kara stalker. Paula is the glam girl, with long dark hair and long fingernails. Find an evening dress or create your own classy outfit. Big glam sunglasses finish the Paula Abdul costume. Now act like you are three shots over the legal limit and you have this former Idol judge down. Add any number of scary Halloween accessories to create a 'stalker Paula' costume.

With or without Paula Abdul, this American Idol group Halloween contest is fun and easy for any age group. Get the kids involved for the details on all the judges. Let the kids join in as their own American Idol contestant. What a great way to accompany the kids on Halloween night.
