This Halloween, why not go for the life of the party and dress up as Britain's bad girl of R&B? This page shows you How to Make an Amy Winehouse Costume step by step, with the complete look and all the attitude.

Dressing up as Amy Winehouse can be a lot of fun! The outfit can be arranged in a number of different ways, from high quality and expensive to cheap but detail oriented. Don't be surprised to find that no two Amy Winehouse costumes are the same. Have fun and experiment using the steps and suggestions below.

Unless your hair is naturally quite long, the only way to achieve this style is with a wig. Rest assured that, for this costume, ill fitting, cheap, old, warn or tacky items work! If you can manipulate any old wig or large clump of fake hair into a big black ball on top of your head; you're set. Don't forget to finish the look with as much hairspray as you can handle.

Amy Winehouse is known for her especially heavy makeup. However, since this is a costume, keep in mind that the look does not have to be high quality. Heavy, smeared black eyeshadow can be all you need in some cases, but you can also add smeared lipstick, blackness under the eyes or bruises on your arms to suit your own personal taste. Fake tattoos, especially poorly applied fake tattoos, can add to the rough, careless theme of the outfit as well.

It's the details that make or break this costume. It simply won't work unless you include at least one vice, but why not fit them all in by including a cigarette, bottle of booze, and drug paraphernalia (fake, of course)? Clothing should be simple and can range from a tank top and ripped jeans to a roughed up bra and pair of shorts. Ill fitting clothing is best, and underwear hanging out is encouraged as long as you're comfortable with it.
