Homemade "Charlie'S Angels" Costumes

Do more than strike the "Charlie's Angels" pose; dress up like one of the show's stars, too.


Dressing up as a star of the hit 1970s show "Charlie's Angels" continues to remain popular years after its last episode ran in 1981. Movie remakes of the TV show starring Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore created a renewed interest in a new generation of female fans who want to dress up as one of the show's three female stars. Making your own "Charlie's Angels" costume can be done simply, tastefully and on a budget with a few simple items and a lot of character. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Purchase 1970s-style clothes from a local vintage clothes shop. Look for glittery blouses or tops with shiny sequins and bellbottom jumpsuits, jeans or pants in your size. Dressing in 1970s clothing styles will help you invoke the look and feel of "Charlie's Angels," which was a TV show popular in the 1970s.


2. Put on the clothes, platform shoes or boots and a blonde or brown wig that makes you appear to have long, feathery hair. Or, if you're playing Kate Jackson's character, wear a short, straight black wig. Don a pair of large hoop, star or other bright earrings that stand out and draw attention to your hair and ears. If you already have long blonde or brown hair, use hairspray, a brush and a hair dryer to give yourself feathered hair.


3. Put on eyeshadow, base foundation and shiny, lip gloss. Complete the outfit with a small, black water gun that looks like a handgun.
