Most Popular Halloween Costumes for 2010

What are the most popular Halloween costumes for 2010? According to a press release by Party City, it looks like some of the most popular Halloween costumes of this year are going to be on different ends of the color spectrum, as some revelers opt for orange skin while others smother themselves with blue body paint or attempt to powder themselves pale. Here's a look at these characters that require a lot of makeup and a few others that will be inspiring popular Halloween costumes in 2010:

Twilight Halloween Costumes - You can bet Halloween costumes based on the modern-day version of the vampire will be popular yet again in 2010, as girls get their guys to don an Edward Cullen wig and honey-colored contact lenses. It's just a shame Bella's look has to be so boring; if you attempt to dress like her, you almost look like you're not wearing a costume at all.

80's Halloween Costumes - Madonna is making a comeback in a big way in 2010, as her wild 80's style becomes inspiration for some of this year's most popular Halloween costumes. And if you don't like her lacy and racy look with fingerless gloves, leggings, and accessories galore, you can always go with Pat Benetar's more simplistic style or dress up like wild child Cyndi Lauper circa "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". You'll find a DIY Madonna Halloween costume idea in this article, as well as ideas for a few other Halloween costumes based on pop stars from different eras.

Jersey Shore Halloween Costumes - Of course Halloween costumes inspired by the GTL-loving cast of 'Jersey Shore' are going to be very popular in 2010, with officially-licensed 'Jersey Shore' Halloween costumes and accessories, including a Snooki wig with her distinctive bump, likely to fly off store shelves. But if you want to get a little more creative with your 'Jersey Shore' Halloween costume ideas based on Snooki, here are a few funny ideas that involve poking fun at one of the Shore's most popular residents.

Greek Goddess Halloween Costumes - Long, flowing gowns will be in for 2010, a perfect alternative for women tired of dressing up as sexed-up versions of characters like Little Red Riding Hood and Little Bo Peep every Halloween. So if you want to look classy instead of trashy, get inspired by the Grecian goddesses of 'Clash of the Titans'.

Lady Gaga Halloween Costumes - I think it's fairly obvious why Lady Gaga Halloween costumes will be very popular in 2010. Not only is Lady Gaga one of the biggest artists of the year, but she also must have one of the world's largest closets, full of the craziest and kookiest clothing imaginable. But if you want to get creative with your Lady Gaga Halloween costume ideas and you're also a fan of the show 'Glee', you might enjoy these ideas that combine the two.
