Burlesque Circus
Britney Spears’ Circus album and tour have inspired yet another circus themed Burlesque revival. Similar to the stunning costumes from Moulin Rouge, expect to see poufy, layered skirts, corsets, feathers, rhinestones and stripes. Sexy Ringmaster is going to be very popular, but we’ll also be seeing lots of creative circus plus burlesque mashups. This costume gives you lots of room to be unique, so combine any costume pieces that make you feel like the star of the show.

Queen of Hearts Costume
Like Alice in Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts is a perennial favorite Halloween costume. Every year there are new versions of this classic character, and the options right now are so plentiful. They range from classy long-sleeved, full-length gowns to mini skirted halter dresses, and everything in-between. Pick your favorite and have fun commanding “ooooooff with his head!” to anyone who trifles with you this Halloween.

Sexy Disney Costumes
Disney generally hates to admit that they make “sexy” costumes, so finding them can be a little tricky. For instance, even though Cinderella and the other princesses have had their gowns slashed to mini-skirt length this year, they are not labeled or searchable as “sexy costumes”. And then there are the non-Disney approved costumes like this one sleeved sexy Tinkerbell! Many of us were raised on Disney, and these costumes can be a fun way to enjoy our adulthood, while keeping young at heart.

Sexy Vampire Costumes
With the runaway success of True Blood and Twilight, this Halloween will see many sexy vampires. Evoke the classic look by wearing dark shades of plum purple or deep wine red, even if you opt for a “street wear” costume like the True Blood characters. For a traditional take, choose one of the many gowns or mini skirt costumes that come with elegant lace and sashes.

Egyptian Queen Costume
Egyptian Queens (and female Pharaohs) were renowned for their beauty, power, grace, and divinity. Why be just a queen when you can be a goddess, too? These elegant costumes begin with a simple tunic dress – usually white – and layer ornate golden details, jewels, and flowing scarves. Add last summer’s roman sandles, thick black eyeliner, and you’ll have a costume fit for a true queen.

Michael Jackson Costume
Hands down, Michael Jackson costumes will be the most popular men’s costume choice for 2009. This rad costume comes in 11 new MJ costumes this year, including a stunning Elite “Bad” costume that is guaranteed to win any costume contest (and has 5 star customer reviews).

Sexy Vampire Costumes
Many new vampires have shown up in movies and on TV, but nothing has been so widely popular as True Blood. HBO’s new vampire show has got everyone thinking about dressing as a sexy blood sucker. For an easy couple’s costume, have your lady wear a faux vampire bite and she can be your “fang banger” (which is True Blood terminology, not ours!). If you get a pair of custom made fangs you can wear any normal outfit like characters from Twilight or True Blood.

Gangster Costume
In 2009’s “Public Enemy”, Johnny Depp reminded us why the gangster is a winning costume every year. Slick pinstriped suit, dapper hat and shoes, a big old faux tommy gun, and a cool 30’s attitude.

Sherlock Holmes Costume
In 2009’s Sherlock Holmes movie, we see some fantastic costumes. That stylish and mysterious long trench coat is shown in several available costumes, including the customer favorite one shown at left. Be sure to read the reviews and see the customer submitted photo.

Star Trek Costumes
A simple yet sexy costume: just a slim fitting top in a bold color, and sleek black pants. Add hipster haircut and pointed ears for the unemotional yet fox Mr. Spock. Everybody knows a little about this classic sci-fi franchise, so this costume is always a crowd pleaser.

Supreme Boba Fett Costume
Finally, an amazing Boba Fett costume! Star Wars nerds across the galaxy have been making their own Boba Fett costumes for years, or at least modifying the heck out of the Deluxe store bought costume. This year you can put all your time into perfecting Boba’s mysterious and roguish charm that the ladies love so much.

Prestige Disney Princess Costumes
How is it that Disney Princess costumes always get so much mileage? There never seems to be a shortage of occasions to dress up as Aurora, Cinderella, Belle or Snow White, even when Halloween is months away. Plus, this year’s newest gowns are stunning.

Hannah Montana Costume
Inside every young girl is a rock star, so it’s no wonder why Hannah Montana is still a top costume choice this Halloween. When Miley transforms into Hannah, she puts on her flashy clothes and jewelry, long blonde wig, and rocks out! You can buy a complete costume or just add a Hannah Montana wig to your favorite rock star outfit.

Stylish Witch Costume
Witches make a great girls costume idea, but this year the options are especially clever. There are so many unique and stylish girls witch costumes, but here are some of our absolute favorites; blue starred Spelladonna (also available in Teen size), Pretty Pumpkin Witch and
Sassy Pumpkin Witch (tween size only).

Bee Costume
Bees and ladybugs are always a popular girls costume choice, and this year there are some adorable new styles to get your little girl buzzing with excitement. With all the cute matching bee costumes for women this would make a sweet mother-daughter costume idea.

Themed Fairy Costume
Every little girl knows that she is magical inside, and every year fairy costumes top the list of their favorite costumes. Can it be a coincidence? This year, choose a fairy costume as unique as your magical girl. Our top picks are the starlit Sea Star Tween, frosty miss Snow Fairy Queen, and the nature nymph Fall Fairy.

Very Pink Costumes
Pink is like icing on the cake for some young girls. Take a Minnie Mouse costume, turn it pink, and suddenly it’s twice as fun! Some of our top picks include the pink pirate, pink Spidergirl, pink ladybug, and pink Supergirl.

Transformer Costumes
As if one Optimus Prime costume weren’t cool enough, this season brings us 8 new Transformer costume choices. Be sure to purchase a Deluxe costume, which features awesome 3D molding. The slightly cheaper versions are feature silkscreened details only; they’re not more than meets the eye

GI Joe Costumes
The ham-fisted GI Joe movies have spawned 2 new sets of costumes this year. The costume descriptions for the Cobra characters are so shaming that we’ll likely only see GI Joes gathering candy this year. Go America!

Clone Trooper Costumes
The animated Star Wars movie TV series have made the last 2 Halloweens amazing years for new Star Wars costumes. There are 13 Clone Trooper costumes available this year! You can choose from Commander Cody, Commander Fox, Leader Rex, or create your very own custom clone character. The Deluxe series are really amazing; check out the customer reviews!

Classic Star Wars Costumes
With Star Wars frequently churning out new cartoons and movies, every couple of years Lucas will authorize more costumes. We have 10 new classic Star Wars costumes for boys to choose from this year. This Ewok wins as the cutest costume, but we predict the X-Wing Fighter Pilot will be the kid-favorite.

Wolverine Costume
Even though the Wolverine Origins movie was too much for many young fans, the classic Wolverine costume is just too cool to resist. There are 4 brand new costume options this year for boys, as well as one new Deluxe adult wolverine (rated 5 stars by customers). Dad and his tough little guy will love tearing it up in these matching costumes.

Nintendo Costumes
It’s me, Mario! The original Nintendo characters seem to get more popular every year. Now your video game loving kids can dress up as Mario, Luigi, or Toadstool. The Deluxe versions come with gloves and an inflatable belly for the Mario Brothers.
