Do You Dare? - Longtime Nicki fans can go with her signature look, comprised of a jet-black wig with thick bangs, a Barbie dress, tons of cleavage and a bubble gum pink lip.

Feeling Festive? - Who could forget the glittery, nude bodysuit Nicki wore to celebrate her birthday this past December? The long blonde wig will be no trouble to find, but you may have to employ a few friends to help glue on your sparkly details. Check dance-attire themed stores for a nude leotard and get to work!

Orange You Glad? - This one is super easy. You’ll need a tight black catsuit and an orange wig. Boom! Done. Get handy with a pair of scissors and cut a lengthy wig to emulate this style.(Photo: Frank Micelotta/PictureGroup)

One Stylish Skeleton - If you’re very creative (and you have a lot of time on your hands), this might be the perfect costume for you. Take a plain pink cotton mini-dress and purchase several squares of felt fabric and head over to the holiday section to grab a handful of gold adornments. Nicki’s design is basically a skeleton, so follow her pattern and add your own madness. Use plenty of fabric glue or get to stitching!(Photo: fafotos/elevation/picturegroup)

Retro Rapper - Ah, the Franken-do. Pair this hairstyle with several sets of prints — geometric shapes, zebra, stars, polka dots (eh, whatever turns you on) — by way of a track jacket and matching stretch pants. Go bananas and make sure you top it off with big hoops, a pink lip and pink pumps.(Photo : WENN.com)

Make It Rain - If you can manage to make a fried chicken necklace, you’ll definitely cause a stir at your Halloween parties. We do warn against using actual chicken. Wear your tasty treat with a corset dress full of bling and ruffles, and complete the look with two huge platinum blonde puffs. Use a little spray color to add the pink hue.(Photo: Isaac Brekken/Getty Images for Clear Channel)

Psycho Barbie - Not to be outdone by the Beyoncé’s and fake baby bumps, take over this Halloween weekend wearing, well, we're having trouble describing this outfit. Let's put it this way: Nicki went to Toys 'R Us, gathered up all the colorful toys she could find, affixed them to her body and then topped it all off with big hair, a surgical mask and an ice cream cone necklace.(Photo: Gregg DeGuire/PictureGroup)

Spotted - We love this fun frock Nicki was seen wearing during New York Fashion Week. Head to your local arts and crafts store and buy several bags of these furry poms. Glue them to the dress or shirt of your choice and add neon tights (the brighter, the better!) and wacky wedges. Now this type of wig might be hard to track down, but try long blonde tresses and pin curl, spray and go.(Photo: Mike Coppola/Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week)
