Angelina Jolie as a costume isn’t new, but I don’t think we’ll see as many of her this season. Aside from a wig, wax lips and a fake gun holster, you can probably put together the rest of the costume from things you already own. My friend and coworker Alexandra is en route to Las Vegas this weekend for the Cuervo Games championship this weekend and she gave me this idea. I especially like that it doesn’t take a lot of effort, yet it should be pretty obvious. Below are the pieces shown above…what do you think?

• American Apparel Winter Leggings ($38): Any black skinny jeans or thick leggings from your own closeshould work, but these are my favorite. I’ve purchased three pairs in the past two years.
• American Apparel Rib U Neck Tank ($22): You probably already have a black tank, so pull it from your own closet. My personal fav is SPUN, but not sure there’s enough time to order it online this time around.
• Vans Wingman Aviators ($18): Any pair of oversized sunglasses or aviators will work, but if you want to buy a new pair, these are a low cost option.
• Jeffrey Campbell Riding Boots ($289.95): If you don’t already have a black boot for the costume, these are a good option as they’ll take you into winter and beyond.
• Lara Croft gun holster ($14.95): Strap this holster over top of your leggings (shorts if that’s your style, but it’s not really mine). You can probably get a second costume out of it next year!
• Shoulder gun holster ($10.95): You probably only need one holster to get the point across, but this is a second option.
• Long glamour wig ($9.95): This one looks especially like one of the wigs she wore in Salt!
• Baby dolls (starting at $2.99): Strap a few babies into your holster or a belt to bring the modern mom to the bad ass Jolie look we see in so many of her roles
• Wax lips ($2.99): you probably won’t get anything out of these beyond the costume, but if you do, let me know!
• Temporary tattoos ($4.99): Angelina is known for her tattoos. You can use temporary or even have a friend (with good handwriting) draw a quote on your arm and back with a sharpie.
