Every girl loves Audrey Hepburn. She was a style icon for Hollywood costume designers and fashion designers like Givenchy and Ferragamo. What you need: long black dress, long black gloves, big diamond necklace and earrings, tiara, long cigarette holder if you can find one, and an up do.







Queen Editrix, Vogue's Anna Wintour, is a great fashionista costume. What you need: big sunglasses, stylish dress, great shoes, a cropped do or wig, and also a long fur. Nicknamed Cruella de ville of fashion for her love of fur.








Donatella Versace - spoofed on Saturday Night Live because of her bodacious personality all you have to do is wear a long blond wig and a tight fitting black dress while talking in a raspy deep voice.











The queen of excess known for her love of dresses, Marie Antoinette is a great costume. For this one you may want to rent garb from a costume shop and bring a little cake to pass out to guests.








New American resident fashionista Posh Spice would be a fun one to dress up as. What you need: short cropped blond hair, tight clothing perhaps a British tee, big sunglasses, and buff arm candy in a tight fitting white tee and gelled hair.








Grab 2 other girls buy 3 long satin gowns (maybe you have 3 of the same bridesmaid dresses), long gloves, and practice those vocals in case anyone asks for some impromptu singing from the Dream Girls.

Maybe not your favorite fashionistas, but The Olsens certainly have a style that is recognized and easily mimicked. What you need: A friend, jeans, long sweater, big handbag, big sunglasses, two Starbucks cups, and you are good to go.









With an Hermes bag even named after her Grace Kelly's style could be puffy 50's dress or nice tailored suit accompanied with a Hermes Kelly bag. Grab a guy in a suit who can play Cary Grant and you've got the To Catch a Thief duo.








Naomi Campbell known for her erratic behavior with a recent incident this weekend at London's airport. Deck yourself out in glamorous garb: a fur, sunglasses, long black wig, and studded cell phone. Have your friend dress up as Naomi's assistant equipped with a few bruises.


Want to go mod? Mimic Edie Segdwick's style: short black dress, opaque tights, lots of eye make up, and big earrings (cigarette and constant drink in hand optional).

Audrey is always a great choice, although it would be quite fun to go as Marie Antionette and walk around with cake!

If you went as Posh you would have to bring along Beckham and then of course you could go with another couple who could be Tom and Katie - it would be so fun!

Edie would be great and would satisfy my inner mod girl.

Donatella would be fun - would have to get a Lady Godiva wig.
