I don't know about you, but the idea of thinking up a new, creative, and cute Halloween costume idea every year kind of overwhelms me.

I want to be funny and intelligent with my costume choice, but then my vanity creeps in and says "Umm, yeah...so the pillow padding and face paint is NOT doing anything for those thighs, honey." But I'm afraid to go the way of the once-a-year vixen and end up looking like a Halloween streetwalker.

So what's a girl to do?

I sat pondering this question, and suddenly felt inspired to look for answers in the stars -- the stars of Hollywood, of course. So I set forth to see what I could learn about Halloween costuming from our ever-present celebrity role models, like Giselle Bundchen, pictured above.

I can't believe the answer is so simple!

Merely adding a mask to a gorgeous, well-thought out and fashion-forward outfit like Scarlett Johansson (pictured left) is the perfect way to dress up for Halloween, still look fabulous, and retain a little more dignity than those who show up wearing little more than a bunny tail pinned onto the behind of a spandex leotard.

Because I don't know about you, but even the pillow-padding and face paint would be more flattering to me than bunny ears and platform shoes.

You can find fun and fabulous Halloween masks here and here.

Have a Happy High-end Halloween!
