Singer Amy Winehouse has become very popular in the U.S. for her new sounds, style and raw attitude. It would only be fair to add her on the list of celebrity options when it comes to Halloween costume ideas for women. It is possible to look like a celebrity without spending lots of money. There is no need to give away $80 to $120 for one night when you can create a dazzling Halloween costume right at home. Here is a list of materials needed for an Amy Winehouse celebrity Halloween costume.

Halloween Costume Ideas for Women #1: Amy Winehouse Hair
In order to create this celebrity look, you must get a long black wig. It should have some level of thickness to it. While some hair stores sell wigs for $60 and more, you may be able to find a cheaper one. Walmart and other stores have sales on their Halloween merchandise. These retailers carry fake wigs that people use mostly for witch costumes. The wigs can also be used for this Amy Winehouse celebrity Halloween costume idea. Amy Winehouse tends to wear a large hive of hair on the top of her head while the rest hangs down.

You can do this by taking the front half of your wig and folding or rolling it backward to make a large bun-like shape. Secure the hair by pinning it with dark colored hair clips or pins. There should be more hair left over in the back. Leave this as it is, for you have started to create an Amy Winehouse look. If the entire wig has long hair, make sure to separate a small portion in the front. Choose any side that you like and cut that portion short. Curl it to create front end bangs for this celebrity Halloween costume idea. A head band can be worn in the front as well.

Halloween Costume Ideas for Women #2: Amy Winehouse Clothes
Here is where things get very creative with an Amy Winehouse celebrity Halloween costume. There are two kinds of looks that this singer shows off. One is very feminine and the other is overly casual. You can wear Ripped Denim Shorts and a tank top for the latter. Women who prefer the more feminine Amy Winehouse look can wear a nice knee length dress. If it has sleeves, make sure that they are short.
