Haute Halloween costume ideas

From Nicki Minaj to Baby Jane Hudson, give your Halloween costume a high fashion edge with these spooky-likey looks...

Lady Gaga by Alexander McQueen
There are few scarier than Lady Gaga, especially in this bondage outfit she donned for a spot of casual Christmas shopping last year. Get the look from one of her favourite labels, Alexander McQueen, and simply add dark blue lipstick.

The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz by Lanvin
Alber Elbaz conjured up the most beautiful witches we've ever seen for his autumn/winter 2011 Lanvin collection. All this look needs is green face-paint and a broom.

Dracula by Yves Saint Laurent
A gorgeous cape by YSL worthy of the magnificent Bela Lugosi himself. Just add fake blood and fangs.

Damien from The Omen by Dolce & Gabbana
All this Dolce & Gabbana look needs is a tie and a red tricycle.
Nina Sayers from Black Swan by Topshop
Natalie Portman's wacko ballet dancer was the stand-out scary lady of the year. This Topshop Unique tutu just needs lashings of black eye make-up to set it off.


Nicki Minaj by Pam Hogg
She's loud, she's brash, she's multi-coloured and her wardrobe can be scary. Brit designer Pam Hogg has the perfect ensemble to capture Nicki Minaj's signature 'more is more' look.

Baby Jane Hudson from What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? by Rodarte
Rodarte's romantic lacy collection lends itself perfectly to child-star-with arrested development-turned-psychopath, Baby Jane Hudson, played by Bette Davis.

Catwoman from Batman Returns by Givenchy
If you fancy trying Catwoman, but aren't brave enough to go the full PVC catsuit, nod to the look with this PVC cat earloui hat by Givenchy.

Lucia Atherton from The Night Porter by Louis Vuitton
Dark sadomasochistic Nazi flick 'The Night Porter' was one of the references cited by Marc Jacobs for his autumn/winter 2011 Louis Vuitton collection. Get the look with one of their peak caps.
Melanie Daniels from The Birds by Calvin Klein Collection
Tippi Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels, from Hitchcok classic 'The Birds' was one of the most stylish '60s heroines, even when she was being besieged by menacing feathered beasts.


Dr. Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs by Vivienne Westwood
Hannibal Lecter remains one of the most terrying villains of all time, never more so thhn in his hockey mask and straightjacket. Take make-up cues from Vivienne Westwood's autumn/winter 2011 show.
Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians by Topshop
Even though Cruella De Vil never actually got to make her coat out of puppies in Disney classic '101 Dalmatians', Topshop Unique dreamed up the perfect finished article for their show.

Fashion trend report: What to ditch and what to keep for the new season

Showing you which summer trends are out and what they are being replaced with from the autumn/winter 2011 collections.


OUT : Ballet, as seen at Chloe spring/summer 2011.
IN : Fetish, as seen at Alexander McQueen, Mark Fast and Louis Vuitton autumn/winter 2011.
Hard edged latex and leather have replaced the soft, flowing sheer fabrics seen at the spring/summer collections.

OUT : Colour brights, as seen at Jil Sander spring/summer 2011.
IN: Jewel colours, as seen at Haider Ackermann, Bottega Veneta and Ralph Lauren autumn/winter 2011.
Put away your paintbox brights. Colour blocking takes a more grown up path for autumn/winter with deeper, more muted tones.

OUT: '70s as seen at Marc Jacobs spring/summer 2011.
IN: '40s as seen at Sportmax, Miu Miu and Donna Karan autumn/winter 2011.
Disco fever in pyschedelic colours dominated the spring/summer catwalks. For the winter months 1940's style lady-like dresses are à la mode.


OUT : Orange, as seen at Calvin Klein spring/summer 2011.
IN: Red, as seen at Antonio Berardi, Roksanda Ilincic and Burberry autumn/winter 2011.
Vibrant orange has been outed by a far more approachable red - wear yours in any hue; from postbox to burgundy.

OUT: Oriental prints, as seen at John Galliano spring/summer 2011.
IN: Patchwork, as seen at Etro, Mary Katrantzou and Dries van Noten autumn/winter 2011.
The elegant Far Eastern feel of spring/summer's prints has been replaced with home-made effect of patchwork prints.

OUT: Oversize menswear, as seen at Dries van Noten spring/summer 2011.
IN : Streamlined androgyny, as seen at Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana autumn/winter 2011.
Gone the slouchy loose-fitting masculine tailoring from summer replace by a more slimline, fitted, approach to men's tailoring for the fall collections.

OUT: Pleats, as seen at Nicole Farhi spring/summer 2011.
IN: Pailletes, as seen at Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs and Prada autumn/winter 2011.
Pailettes were the adornment of choice for many designers this year leaving very little room for other fine details such as pleating.


OUT: Stripes, as seen at Prada spring/summer 2011.
IN: Spots, as seen at Lanvin, Diane von Furstenburg and Marc Jacobs autumn/winter 2011.
A huge number of the autumn/winter collections chose the playful polka dot, leaving the stripe behind in the summer months.

OUT : Trench coats, as seen at Burberry spring/summer 2011.
IN: Cocoon coats, as seen at Yves Saint Laurent, Jil Sander and Loewe autumn/winter 2011.
The classic trench gets the boot, replaced by this season's model: the 'cocoon' coat with structured sleeves and a voluminous sillhouette.

Beyoncé goes on a fashion rampage

 Beyoncé wears an Alexander McQueen autumn/winter 2010 dress with thigh high boots.

Beyoncé's new music video, which was released this week, clocks up a number of luxury outfits selected from couture and mainline collections from the passed four seasons - a veritable feast of labels that would make even Lady Gaga blush.

Given the paces they are put through and the delicacy of the designs, how the garments make it through to the end of the five minute tour de force is anyone's guess. Lion-taming in a red Alexander McQueen autumn/winter 2010 printed mini and thigh-high heels, and walking snarling hyenas in a cream Givenchy spring/summer 2011 couture gown are just two of the tasks at Beyoncé's hand. Meanwhile, fires from exploding cars lick the back of a metallic Gareth Pugh autumn/winter 2011 minidress, and hoses soak a Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture tailcoat - and that's before Beyoncé has even started dancing.

Known for her supersonic moves, the former Destiny's Child singer puts a black Norma Kamali fringed jacket and two Emilio Pucci gowns from the spring/summer 2010 and autumn/winter 2011 collections to the test, throwing shapes so fast and furious I'd be surprised if there weren't burn marks on the fabric, post-routine. Nor, for that matter, on the soles of her perilously high Sergio Rossi gladiator boots, the heels of which must have been emitting sparks throughout.
