  Get ready to rock out on Halloween with some costume ideas that will have you ready to jump onstage and put on a show. With items you may already have or can purchase cheaply, it's easy to throw together a rock star look and step out like a celebrity to do your trick-or-treating.
  
  

Ideas for Females

• Find a base for your costume using black pants or a black skirt. A brightly colored or leopard print top adds pizazz. Add tights, boots and as many scarves as you can find. Temporary tattoos are a great touch and very hard-rock. Anything sparkly, glittery or spiky can add more of a rocker look to your costume.
  
  

Ideas for Men

• It's easy to look like a rocker with things you probably already have. Remember those old, worn-out jeans you use for painting the house? They'll be perfect for a rock star outfit, especially if they have holes. Decorate them with safety pins for a more "punk" look and add a muscle shirt or tank top. If you have a leather jacket, it can work perfectly for a rock star costume.
  
  

Accessories and Final Touches

• Rock stars usually go overboard with accessories, so don't be afraid to pile them on. Bracelets, earrings, necklaces and anything glam will complete the look. Add safety pins to your shirt for a punk-rock touch, and tease or spike your hair as high as it will go. Don't forget your sunglasses, since every rock star needs to hide from the paparazzi.
