There are lots of great movie related Halloween costume ideas for women. One of them is Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Fans of the movie, video game or Angelina Jolie will enjoy this Halloween costume. Some aspects of this costume will not be easily found at home. However, you can still put together a costume that will be memorable for years to come. This article will show you how to create a great Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume for Halloween.

Materials

Black Tank Top
Black shorts
Black Belt with Loops
Tactical Leg Holster
Black Boots
Black Wrist Bands or Watch
Toy Eagle Magnum Pistol and Toy Knife
Makeup & Black Hair band

Step 1

The tank top is an important aspect of a Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume. It must be black and fit well. Black tank tops can be found at a discount store like Wal-Mart or sporting good retailers including Modell's. Women can find an inexpensive tank top for $7 or less at discount stores.

Step 2

You will also need a pair of black shorts in order to pull of this Halloween costume idea. Make sure that the shorts are not very loose over your legs. The idea is to look like a tough and sexy female fighter, not Kobe Bryant's teammate on the basketball court. The shorts for this Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume should be short. That means skipping any Bermuda styled items or other related bottoms. Training shorts will look great with this Halloween costume idea. Boy shorts for women are also great alternatives.

Step 3

Get a black belt that has loops or holes in it. If you have a difficult time finding belts like this, move on to another alternative. A solid belt may be sufficient. However, the belt that Angelina Jolie wore in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider had a few holes in it. Therefore, it is an ideal accessory if you want to get as close as possible to the actual character. Stores that sell gothic clothing may be a great resource for belts that will go well with your Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume.

This is a good idea, but the whole 'black' lara croft is from the movie. True gaming fans would appreciate her green tank top and brown cargo shorts.
